A User-Oriented Synthetic Workload Generator
نویسندگان
چکیده
v A user-oriented synthetic workload generator that simulates users' file access behavior based on real workload characterization is described. The model for this workload generator is (i) user-oriented and job-unspecific, (ii) represents file I/O operations at the system call level, (iii) allows general distributions for the usage measures, and (iv) assumes independence in the file I/O operation stream. The workload generator consists of three parts which handle specification of distributions, creation of an initial file system, and selection and execution of file I/O operations. Experiments on SUN NFS are shown to demonstrate the usage of the workload generator.

In this paper the user-oriented BISANTE workload generator for network traffic simulation is presented. It enables the analyst to model both the behavior of network users interacting with applications or services and the network traffic at the packet level itself. This way, workload at different levels of abstraction can be constructed. Currently the workload generator is available for the simu...

متن کاملHierarchical Characterization and Generation of Blogosphere Workloads
We present a thorough characterization of the access patterns in blogspace, which comprises a rich interconnected web of blog postings and comments by an increasingly prominent user community that collectively define what has become known as the blogosphere. Our characterization of over 35 million read, write, and management requests spanning a 28-day period is done at three different levels. T...
