Abstract:

Both the commercial and the military markets are being driven by performance requirements that far exceed the capabilities of a minimum set of computing architectures. In addition, the requirements on many newer systems are being expressed in UML, a requirements modeling language that enforces standard and consistent practices for systems and software engineering design. There is a need to justify the computing architecture designs, and to estimate the computing architecture performance for these systems. Spreadsheets and analytical methods alone are insufficient because of the statistical nature of both the messaging and the computer operating systems. This paper describes a performance modeling tool that uses an event driven design to enable evaluation of the performance of computing architectures for which the requirements are expressed in UML.
