Abstract

A technique for determining utilization of a computing system resource. A trace of requests in a computing system is collected. The trace is run while a time-basis of the requests of the trace is altered by issuing each request at a time that is based on timing of one or more prior requests. A first time-based statistic associated with collecting the trace is compared to a second time-based statistic associated with running the trace to determine the utilization.
