Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for efficiently predicting the instruction execution efficiency of a proposed computer system. This is accomplished by first measuring or otherwise obtaining actual instruction execution efficiency values for two or more actual computer systems. The actual instruction execution efficiency values are preferably measured using a sufficient number of actual computer systems that have a sufficient variety of resource allocations to create a statistically significant pool of information or data. Using this pool of information or data, a predicted instruction execution efficiency value is calculated for a proposed computer system having a proposed allocation of resources of the first resource type and the second resource type. This is preferably accomplished by performing a multi-variant regression analysis of selected actual instruction execution efficiency values in the pool of information or data.
