Indeed, Dr. Merrill literally 'wrote the book' on every performance issue known to man (and a few known only to women) :-)
The manual that Lizette refers to evolved from that book. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 9:51 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Doing a little research on Performance Modeling If you have MXG, then look for the SOURCLIB dataset. This is where the MXG manual is located (chapter by chapter) and you should find the wonderful details Dr. Merrill put into the MXG code and how things work.

Still have MXG and SAS, and a few others. We do a lot of reporting and lots of system level capacity/hardware planning, just trying to wrap my head around more broad based performance modeling approach on a large project basis: critical path, simulation, forecasting, what/if etc.. Anyone members of acm.org as well as cmg? They had a few special interest groups that seemed worthwhile: SIGMETRICS: http://www.sigmetrics.org/ SIGSIM: http://www.sigsim.org/ SIGMIS: http://www.sigmis.org/ I casually checked into them a few months ago to see about organization memberships and such akin to how Share and IDUG work, but all I could find was a yearly fee for their digital library and it seemed a bit salty so I didn't look much further. But looking, CMG is individual based with yearly fees as well, so maybe I'll have to look again. If you could choose only one for performance modeling , cmg or acm? If you could choose only one for capacity/hardware planning?

CMG is also a good place to go look for info if you are a member. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
