Abstract
According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include selecting a first machine to be sized. A first throughput value and a first capacity value may be obtained for the first machine. A base machine may be selected. A base throughput value and a base capacity value may be obtained for the base machine. The first throughput value may be normalized, with a computer processor, to the base throughput value to product a normalized throughput value. The first capacity value may be normalized to the base capacity value to produce a normalized capacity value. A workload weight may be determined for the first machine, based at least in part on comparing the first machine to the base machine. A workload metric may be calculated as a weighted average of the normalized throughput value and the normalized capacity value.
