Excerpt from Computer System Capacity Fundamentals
Next we consider the notion of the capacity of the processor, the memory and the combination of the two. We shall define capacities in bits/second. Since we are interested in maximum possible data rates, we shall assume that either the memory or the processor bandwidth is saturated in any given computation we discuss. Thus, all our discus sion of capacity will assume that fer the type of computation under consideration no faster data rate is possible on the machine wejare considering.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new theoretical framework for analyzing computer system capacity. Using this framework, the author explores the relationships among processor, memory, and I/O bandwidth in both overlapped and non-overlapped machines. The book begins by deriving a mathematical formula for calculating theoretical capacity for various combinations of processor, memory, and I/O bandwidth. The author then shows how this formula can be used to compare different computer systems and to evaluate the performance of a given system on a particular set of computations. The book also discusses the tradeoff between primary memory size and I/O bandwidth, and provides a methodology for determining the optimal memory size for a given system. Using these concepts, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of computer system capacity, which will be of interest to computer scientists, engineers, and system administrators. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
