A Test Bed for Operating Systems Performance Evaluation

  • Chapter
Messung, Modellierung und Bewertung von Rechensystemen

Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 41))

Abstract

A description is given of the design, implementation and operating experience of a test bed for operating systems which permits very detailed observation and measurements. The hardware is simulated with the help of the Virtual Machine Emulator. By selecting processor and I/O device timing characteristics a wide range of /370 compatible systems can be simulated. A special trace facility allows tracing and activity measurements at any desired level of granularity. An artificial workload simulates the activity of a DB/DC System.
