11.6.1.3.3 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.  A sample
Cluster Assignment Report for the randomly selected sample is
shown in Figure 11-27.  The resources detailed in this report
are specified on the Workload Characterization screen (see
Figure 11-18).

This report demonstrates the potential benefits of job
classes that you developed using the clusters.  For example,
consider cluster 7.  This cluster represents approximately
59% of all the jobs processed by the system.  These jobs use
less than 10% of the resources consumed by all jobs that
execute on the system.  By exploiting the characteristics of
cluster 7, you could establish a job class and an initiator
structure that would isolate jobs in this cluster.  By
prioritizing the initiators which process these jobs, you can
guarantee excellent service to more than half of the jobs
while minimally impacting resources on the system as a whole.
