Abstract

The objectives in workload characterization for parallel systems are to provide adequate representations of the programs and the associated data and to characterize the way in which these programs are submitted to the system (user interaction). In this work a systematic framework and a corresponding methodology for workload modeling of parallel systems is proposed. The corresponding methodology specifies the steps for constructing a workload model within this framework. To illustrate the contribution of this approach, the framework is used as a workload model classification scheme and the methodology is applied in a case study.
