usl-package: Analyze system scalability with the Universal Scalability Law

Description

The Universal Scalability Law is a model to predict hardware and software scalability. It uses system capacity as a function of load to forecast the scalability for the system.

Details

Use the function usl to create a model from a formula and a data frame.

The USL model produces two coefficients as result: sigma models the contention and kappa the coherency delay of the system.

The Universal Scalability Law has been created by Dr. Neil Gunther.
