Cluster Performance Forecasting Using Predictive Modeling for Virtual Beowulf Clusters

Design of a Performance Measurement Framework for Cloud Computing

“…Other authors have tried to predict the performance of complex systems (computer clusters, for example) by simulating cluster behavior using a virtual environment. For instance, Rao [6] estimates the variation of cluster performance through changes in task size, as well as the time taken to solve a particular problem. He has also built a predictive model using regression analysis to investigate the behavior of the system and predict the per-formance of the cluster.…”
