A hybrid simulation/regression model of a virtual storage system
General Electric, Corporate Research and Development, Electronics Park, Syracuse, New York, USA
This paper describes how two different modelling techniques, regression and simulation modelling, have been combined within a hybrid simulation/regression model of a virtual storage computer system. In the model, simulation techniques are used to model in detail a task's arrival, entering and leaving the multiprogramming set, and termination. The rest of the system is modelled in much less detail mainly using regression techniques. The application of this method to modelling an IBM VM/370 system is described.
