Performance of Computer Systems - COMP3014J

This module is designed for 4th year undergraduate students to gain insight about system evaluation. It also can help the students to identify the advantages and disadvantages of their software.
It introduces basic concepts in performing theory and classic evaluation methods/models. The following topics are included:
■ Performance Measurement
■ Workload selection and Characterization
■ Fundamentals of Probability theory and Statistics
■ Queuing Theory
■ Analysis of Sample data including Regression analysis
■ Performance modelling
■ Experimental design and Analysis
■ Simulation including Random number generation
Though this course, they will learn the procedures of performing an evaluation on a specific system through various approaches
