Description

A study of analytical and simulation techniques used in performance modelling of computer systems and networks.

This course focuses on two major themes:

  1. Computer simulation
  2. Performance modeling and evaluation of computer systems and networks.

The former covers an introduction to basic techniques used for developing simulation models of computer systems and networks. The latter is an introduction to basic analytical methods used in performance modeling and evaluation studies of computer systems and networks.

At the end of this course students should be able to write programs simulating their performance of computer systems and networks, as well as  have an understanding of basic analytical methods used in their performance modelling and evaluation.

Prerequisites

(1) 36 points from Mathematics, Statistics, or
Engineering Mathematics. MATH115/STAT111/STAT131/STAT112 are strongly recommended. MATH101 is not acceptable; (2) 44 points of 200-level Computer Science including COSC227 or COSC201 RP: COSC208, COSC209 (or COSC204).

Recommended Preparation

COSC208, COSC209 (or COSC204).
