11.3.3 Random Sample Cluster Assignment Report


The Cluster Assignment Report for the randomly selected
sample indicates how well the clusters represent the resource
vectors in the sample.  The report also provides an analysis
of the resources that are consumed by the clusters.  The
resources detailed in this report are specified on the
Workload Characterization screen (see Section 11.5).

A sample Cluster Assignment Report for the randomly selected
sample is shown in Figure 11-3.  It lists the following
fields:

TOTAL            The total number of resource vectors
OBSERVATIONS:    summarized by the report.

OBS WITHIN       The number of resource vectors that are
RADIUS:          assigned within the radius of one of the
                 clusters.  These observations are well
                 represented by the clusters.

MARGINAL         The number and percent of resource vectors
ASSIGNMENTS:     that are not within the radius of any of the
                 clusters.  The marginal assignments should
                 represent no more than 5 to 7% of the
                 sample.

The columns of the report are the following:

CLUS:            The cluster number.

WITHIN:          The number of resource vectors assigned to
                 the cluster that are within the radius of
                 the cluster.

MARGIN:          The number of resource vectors assigned to
                 the cluster that are outside of the
                 cluster's radius.  A resource vector is
                 marginally assigned to a cluster when it is
                 farther away from the cluster's centroid
                 than the radius of the cluster.

The last four report columns are the resource names that are
specified on the Workload Characterization screen (see
Section 11.5).  The fields are as follows:

JOBTCBTM:        The total TCB CPU time consumed by the job
                 assigned to the cluster.

JOBEDASD:        The total number of DASD EXCPs issued by
                 jobs assigned to the cluster.

INITMIN:         The total number of initiator minutes
                 consumed by jobs assigned to the cluster.

JOBNLR:          The total print lines generated by jobs
                 assigned to the cluster.

The second line for each cluster provides the percent of the
specified resource consumed by the cluster.
