Course Description (Revised):
Formerly CS 557M.
Comparing systems using measurement, simulation, and queueing models. Common mistakes and how to avoid them, selection of techniques and metrics, art of data presentation, summarizing measured data, comparing systems using sample data, introduction to experimental design, fractional factorial designs, introduction to simulation, common mistakes in simulations, analysis of simulation results, random number generation, random variate generation, commonly used distributions, introduction to queueing theory, single queues, and queueing networks. The techniques of the course can be used to analyze and compare any type of systems including algorithms, protocols, network, or database systems.
Prerequisites:CSE 131 or CSE 126 or their respective equivalents. CSE 280 is not required. If you have any questions about the prerequisites, please feel free to see the instructor or discuss in the first session.
Credits:3 Units.
