Abstract
Disclosed is a method and mechanism for sizing a hardware system for a software workload. An aspect is directed to modeling a workload into a set of generic system activities, in which the generic system activities are not directly tied to a specific hardware platform. Another aspect is directed to profiling hardware systems or hardware components into the generic system activities. Suitable hardware systems or components are selected by analyzing the workload and hardware profiles in terms of the generic system activities.
