Abstract

An approach is provided for predicting system performance. The approach predicts system performance by identifying a Queuing Network Model (QNM) corresponding to a clustered system that handles a plurality of service demands using a plurality of parallel server nodes that process a workload for a quantity of users. A workload description is received that includes server demand data. Performance of the clustered system is predicted by transforming the QNM to a linear model by serializing the parallel services as sequential services, identifying transaction groups corresponding to each of the server nodes, and distributing the workload among the transaction groups across the plurality of nodes. The approach further solves analytically the linear model with the result being a predicted resource utilization (RU) and a predicted response time (RT).
