Chapter 25
Analysis of Large Scale Models
25.1 Introduction
In Chapter 6 the implication was that simply because there are fewer runs the subinterval method is much more efficient than the replication method for estimating system parameters. However, the replication method is important for “what if” analysis described in Chapter 1. Also, system specification concepts from Chapter 17 are the basis for performing “what if” analysis. The analysis consists of changing workload or system specifications and then using the subinterval method to estimate ...
