TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a method for executing an operation under a first set of conditions, determining a characteristic associated with the execution of the operation under the first set, and executing a simulation of the operations under a second set of different conditions.
Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for executing a simulation of an operation in a data processing system. In one implementation, the method includes executing an operation under a first set of conditions, determining a characteristic associated with the execution of the operation under the first set of conditions, and executing a simulation of the operation under a second set of conditions different from the first set of conditions. The simulation of the operation is constrained by the determined characteristic. The method can further include determining a cost/benefit of executing the operation under a set of conditions different from the first set of conditions based at least in part on the simulation.
