CALCULATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING RESPONSE TIME OF COMPUTER SYSTEM IN WHICH PLURALITY OF UNITS OF EXECUTION CAN BE RUN ON EACH PROCESSOR CORE

摘要

A calculation method for evaluating response time in a computer system in which a plurality of units of execution are run on individual processor cores. The calculation method evaluates response time in a computer system in which a plurality of units of execution are run in parallel on individual processor cores while sharing internal hardware resources. The method includes the steps of: normalizing the utilization state of the computer system with the state of parallelism of the units of execution and evaluating the utilization state; and calculating an expected value of response time in a desired state of parallelism of the units of execution from the normalized utilization state on the basis of queueing theory in which changes in average single-thread performance of the units of execution according to the parallel running state are taken into account.
