    About

    In designing computer systems one is usually constrained by certain performance requirements and limitations. For example, one might need to guarantee a response time SLA or certain throughput requirement, while at the same time staying within a power budget or cost budget. On the other hand, one often has many choices: One fast disk, or two slow ones? More memory, or a faster processor? A fair scheduler or one that minimizes mean response time? For multi-server systems, one can choose from a wide array of load balancing policies, a wide array of migration policies, capacity provisioning schemes, power management policies ... The possibilities are endless. The best choices are often counter-intuitive. Ideally, one would like to have answers to these questions before investing the time and money to build a system. This class will introduce students to analytic stochastic modeling with the aim of answering the above questions. This class is heavy on math. Students should have a strong background in probability before embarking on this class. If you are worried about your probability background, please work through all the examples and exercises in Chpt 3 of the class textbook. You can also see the instructor for more probability materials.

    English Program Requirements

    Candidates are required to demonstrate a level of competence in English to meet the admissions requirements of the university. You are required to take a TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo exam unless:

    • You attended an undergraduate institution, earning a bachelor’s degree, where the sole language of instruction was English.
    • You earned a graduate degree where the sole language of instruction was English. (Although not required, we do recommend that you take the English Language Proficiency exam.)

    You must request that the official score be sent from the testing agency to our program for us to verify the score entered into the application. Request that the official score be sent to us using the following codes:

    • TOEFL Program Code: Institutional Code = 2074; Departmental Code = 02
      • Pro Tip: The recommended TOEFL score is 25 on each section of the Internet-based test. The minimum TOEFL scores required to apply for admission are: Reading: 20, Listening: 20, Speaking: 20, Writing: 20
    • IELTS Program Code: Select Carnegie Mellon and the Tepper School of Business 
      • Pro Tip: The recommended IELTS score is 7 overall and 7 in each band. The minimum IELTS scores required to apply for admission are: Listening: 7, Reading: 7, Writing: 7, Speaking: 7, Overall Band: 7
    • Duolingo Program Code: Select Carnegie Mellon University – Tepper School of Business
      • Pro Tip: The recommended Duolingo English Test (DET) score is 120 overall

    Pro Tip: TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for two years and must be valid at the time you submit your application.

    Pro Tip: If you earned a degree from a non-U.S. institution, your academic documents should state that the sole language of instruction for the entire university was English in order to be eligible for a TOEFL/IELTS/Duolingo waiver. If your academic documents don’t include this, you should upload an official letter from the University Registrar indicating English as the mode of instruction for the entirety of the degree.
