A Taxonomy of Analytical Computer Performance Models for Computer Design.

Abstract

The computer architect has no easy way of making performance tradeoffs while designing a new computer. This thesis provides a taxonomy of over 75 weighted average computer performance models which aid the architect in comparing alternative designs. These models have been implemented in the KEE expert system building tool. The user can interact with the models using a mouse and visual images to change values and monitor results. Key Words and Phrases: Computer performance models, Analytical models, Computer design, Expert systems.
