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.
Use the function usl to create a model from a formula and
a data frame.
The USL model produces two coefficients as result: alpha models the
contention and beta the coherency delay of the system.
The Universal Scalability Law has been created by Dr. Neil J. Gunther.
