ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that computes a distance metric between computer system workloads. During operation, the system receives a dataset containing metrics that have been collected for a number of workloads of interest. Next, the system uses splines to define bases for a regression model which uses a performance indicator y as a response and uses the metrics (represented by a vector x) as predictors. The system then fits the regression model to the dataset using a penalized least squares (PLS) criterion to obtain functions f1, . . . , fP, which are smooth univariate functions of individual metrics that add up to the regression function f, such that y=f(x)+ε=∑i=1P⁢fi⁡(xi)+ɛ,wherein ε represents noise. Finally, the system uses the fitted regression function to define the distance metric.
