Performance Engineering Tools

Free Tools Comment Release Date

MVA (Open)

This tool uses the Mean Value Analysis (MVA) technique to predict the average response times and utilizations of system resources for open systems. Updated July, 2008

Utilization Sieve

This tool is useful in the context of shared environment, where it is important to know the resource utilization attributable to a specific application workload under consideration.

Updated May, 2008

Performance Simulation

(Classic Multi-Tier Information System)

This tool provides a user interface to input hardware configuration-cum-topology details, workload details and service demands to generate an output file that can be directly run with Ptolemy's Simulation Framework.

The output of such a simulation will be predicted values of response time, throughput for each workload and system resource utilization at each resource / server. View Sample Output Report

April, 2008

Capacity Factor Calculator

This tool is useful in the context of application capacity planning and helps in computing the capacity upgrade required for a projected increase in workload. Dec, 2007

Self-Similar Traffic Checker

Uses Variance Time Plot and derives the Hurst parameter. Useful for Web workload modeling. Nov, 2007

Self-Similar Traffic Generator

Inputs the Hurst parameter to generate self-similar traffic. Useful for Web workload modeling of new systems where no historic access information exists.

Nov, 2007

Test Environment Workload Calculator The test environment capacity often does not match the production environment capacity. Use this tool to determine the test environment workload target. Oct, 2007
Test Environment Validator This tool is useful for certifying the correctness of the test environment. Oct, 2007
Scalability Metric Calculator Computes scalability metrics for online workloads. Sep, 2007
Synthetic Benchmark Calculator Computes a synthetic benchmark rating for a specified number of CPUs. Sep, 2007

Mann-WhitneyU Test

Need to check if two load balanced servers are really balanced? Use this tool to check this. The tool supports small and large sample.

Statistical Distributions

Provides downloadable Excel sheet for different statistical distributions.

SISA

Random Number Generator

Pseudo random number generator that works for not just the Uniform distribution but provides for Normal 1, Normal 2, Weibull distributions etc. Also provides several methods to generate the random seeds.
