1. A method for capacity sizing in a computer device or system, comprising:
- determining one or more classes of operations based on at least one of historical computational usage and predicted usage for a system;
based on the one or more classes of operations, setting at least one capacity target based on the computational usage for each class such that computational capacity is maintained at a set level over a given time period and the set level satisfies at least one usage criterion over the given time period.

Abstract
A system and method for capacity sizing in a computer device or system includes determining one or more classes of operations based on at least one of historical computational usage and predicted usage for a system. Based on the one or more classes of operations, at least one capacity target is set based on the computational usage for each class such that computational capacity is maintained at a set level over a given time period and the set level satisfies at least one usage criterion over the given time period.

17. A method for capacity sizing in a computer device or system, comprising:
-
determining one or more classes of operations based on at least one of historical computational usage and predicted usage for a system; for batch processing, setting a first capacity target to indicate an amount of work capacity that can be completed in a given time period;
determining residual work above the first capacity target while meeting a first usage criteria such that queuing the residual work in a next time period maintains usage at the first capacity target; andfor transactional processing, setting a second capacity target that provides less than a maximum amount of lost work in a given time period by computing a utilization area under a utilization curve above the second capacity target. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
