Abstract: Indy is a new performance modeling framework for the creation of tools for many different classes of performance problems, including capacity planning, bottleneck analysis, etc. Users can plug in their own workload and hardware models while exploiting core shared services such as resource tracking and evaluation engines. We used Indy to create EMOD, a performance analysis tool for database-backed web sites. We validate EMOD using the predicted and observed performance of SVT, a sample e-commerce site.
