SYNTHETIC WORKLOAD GENERATION IN CLOUD

Sudha Pelluri, Keerti Bangari

Abstract: User requests, together with arrival timestamp is called Workload. The workload can be either the synthetic or real workload. The synthetic workloads are useful to carry out the controlled experiment. For performance evaluation of complex multitier applications the synthetic workload generation techniques are required such as in Banking , E-Commerce , Business deployed in the cloud computing environments. In each class the application has its own characteristics of workload. The important requirement is that the generated workload called synthetic workload should maintain the same characteristics and behavior of real workload. Techniques to generate synthetic workload are discussed in this paper

Keywords: Real trace, Characterization of Workload, Faban, Application Benchmarks
