Issue 5313: more abstract demand unit needed (uml-scheduling-ftf)
Source: The MathWorks (Mr. Alan Moore, alan.moore(at)mathworks.co.uk)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: CPU demands are represented as time values... this is useful for limited studies, but a more abstract demand unit, that can be scaled to different platforms, which give greater modeling power. There is no obvious unit for this... the definition of execution demands could be relaxed so it can be any units. Call it demand instead of execution time.

Discussion: 
Valid comment, but this is a new feature that is outside the scope of either an FTF or RTF. Should be deferred to major revision.

more abstract demand unit needed

CPU demands are represented as time values... this is useful for
limited studies, but a more abstract demand unit, that can be scaled
to different platforms, which give greater modeling power. There is no
obvious unit for this... the definition of execution demands could be
relaxed so it can be any units. Call it demand instead of execution
time.
