Server system modeling for data-centric computing: In terms of server specifications, benchmarks, and simulators

摘要

Server systems that support cloud, IoT (Internet of Things), content searching services, etc. are constantly increasing due to large data generation at every day, thereby maintenance cost of the servers is also becoming considerable. Therefore, it is significant to keep server systems cost efficient and provide user satisfaction by evaluating the server performance in detail. In this paper, we present important considerations of estimating the server performance, which include server specification, architectural configuration, benchmarks, and a comparison of architectural simulators.
