Summary
Model throughput XN
with USL 2
Calculate RN
from Little’s law: RTT = N/XN
3
Apply USL in Excel, R, Mathematica, etc.
Cf. v$, AWR, OWI metrics at selected user load N
USL contains Brooks’ law and Amdahl’s law (a good thing)
USL is equivalent to synchronous repairman queueing model
USL models worst case synchronous queueing
Your app should scale better than USL
If it doesn’t, change your data
