Abstract

This paper describes a flexible artificial workload simulator in use both as a pedagogic aid in a teaching environment and as a tool in a software prototype test facility. The background motivations behind the development of the tool are presented first. This is followed by a delineation of the goals derived from the motivations and examination of related work. Next the design choices are pre sented and justified. This is followed by a brief description of the tool. The presenta tion continues with a description of the choices made during the implementation phase. Particular attention is paid to how the sequencing of workload components was achieved. The discussion of implemen tation is concluded with some necessary low level details. The validation pro cedures are described.
