Description:

As computers become more complex, the number and complexity of the tasks facing the computer architect have increased. Computer performance often depends in complex way on the design parameters and intuition that must be supplemented by performance studies to enhance design productivity.

This book introduces computer architects to computer system performance models and shows how they are relatively simple, inexpensive to implement, and sufficiently accurate for most purposes. It discusses the development of performance models based on queuing theory and probability. The text also shows how they are used to provide quick approximate calculations to indicate basic performance tradeoffs and narrow the range of parameters to consider when determining system configurations. It illustrates how performance models can demonstrate how a memory system is to be configured, what the cache structure should be, and what incremental changes in cache size can have on the miss rate. A particularly deep knowledge of probability theory or any other mathematical field to understand the papers in this volume is not required.

描述：
隨著電腦變得越來越複雜，電腦架構師面臨的任務數量和複雜性也隨之增加。電腦性能往往以複雜的方式依賴於設計參數和直覺，這些都必須通過性能研究來補充，以提高設計生產力。本書向電腦架構師介紹電腦系統性能模型，並展示這些模型相對簡單、實施成本低且對於大多數目的來說足夠準確。它討論了基於排隊理論和概率的性能模型的發展。文本還展示了如何使用這些模型來提供快速的近似計算，以指示基本的性能權衡，並縮小在確定系統配置時需要考慮的參數範圍。它說明了性能模型如何展示記憶體系統的配置方式、快取結構應該是什麼，以及快取大小的增量變化對未命中率的影響。理解本卷中的論文不需要對概率論或其他數學領域有特別深入的知識。
