so the unit for Utilization in your example is "active request" ?
I just wish the article didn't assume units are easily inferred which would imply most readers are familiar with the subject.
- amne 2y agoHaving read it more than once now I think utilization is a ratio, maybe? But that means the unit for S needs to be seconds/request such that: utilization(ro) = S * arrival_rate(lambda) = seconds/request * request/seconds = bare ratio. More coffee required.
- ajb 2y agoYes, that's normally how utilisation is understood - as the fraction of time used by requests, which is therefore a dimensionless quantity.
