Chapter 11 — Resources & Performance (SLA/SLO/Throughput/Latency/Power)
I. Purpose & Scope
- Standardize measurement, modeling, validation, and publication of deployment resource models (CPU/GPU/MEM/IO/NET/Power) and performance metrics (SLA/SLO/throughput/latency/jitter/power/cost), enabling capacity planning, load-test baselines, regression monitoring, and compliant release.
- For path quantities (arrival time/phase), the text must explicitly show gamma(ell) and d ell, record delta_form ∈ {general, factored} on the data side; all formulas are parenthesized; publication requires p_dim = 1.0.
II. Prerequisites & Inputs
- Data & splits: align with Dataset Card Ch. 4/6/7/11 (Schema/Splits/QC/Bench).
- Training & weights: align with this volume Ch. 6 (train_config.yaml, best.ckpt, env snapshot).
- Coverage & covariance: unify with Error Budget Card (coverage ∈ {k, alpha, quantile}, Σ PD).
- Parameters & freshness: align with Parameter Card (freshness.policy, cov_group).
- Citations & versions: “volume + version + anchor (P/S/M/I)”, anchor coverage ≥ 90%.
III. Resource Model
- Resource vector: R = (cpu, gpu, mem, io, net, power); suggested units: cpu: core·s, gpu: sm·s, mem: GiB, io/net: MB/s, power: W.
- Queueing approx: stable region ρ = λ/μ < 1; M/M/1 latency E[W] ≈ ρ/(μ−λ); with parallelism k, μ_eff ≈ k·μ.
- Batch/stream trade-off: micro-batch window T_win = k/f_s; larger windows increase throughput but raise Latency_P95.
- Capacity backsolve: with peak λ_peak and target ρ_target, μ_req = λ_peak/ρ_target, map to R quotas.
- Energy & cost: P_avg, Energy/req, cost_per_K, R_cost (core·h/GPU·h).
IV. KPIs & Statistics
- Latency: Latency_P50/P95/P99 (s); Throughput: req/s or MB/s; Jitter: quantile spread or MAD.
- Availability: SLA/SLO (e.g., availability ≥ 99.9%, P95 latency ≤ target); Loss rate: loss_rate.
- Resources: ρ (utilization), mem_peak, io/net_util; Energy: P_avg / Energy/req.
- Quality coupling: Q_res, p_dim (=1), ε_flux (path conservation error).
V. Control & Path Forms
- Arrival (equivalent forms):
T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell )
T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell ) - Phase accumulation:
Phi = ( 2π / λ_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell )
Align “time → path → phase” before evaluation/reporting; record delta_form; arrays len(gamma_ell)=len(d_ell)=len(n_eff)≥2.
VI. Load Testing & Regression
- Baseline flow: cold start → steady → peak pulses → recovery; record Latency_P95/Throughput/ρ/P_avg curves with intervals.
- Regression monitor: compare δ_latency/δ_throughput/δ_power/δ_cost vs prior with CIs; out-of-band triggers degrade/rollback.
- Elastic scaling: scale near ρ_target, record convergence time & cost; principle: stability first, efficiency next.
VII. Gate Mapping
- G1 Schema completeness (perf tables/contracts present); G2 Citation compliance (anchor coverage ≥ 90%);
- G3 Path conventions (path block complete; step compliant); G4 Dimensional closure (p_dim = 1.0, check_dim_report.json OK);
- G5 Freshness (clock_state="locked", τ_calib compliant); G6 Coverage consistency (k/alpha/quantile unified);
- G7 Covariance consistency (Σ PD & aligned with Error Budget); G8 Uniqueness & acyclicity (artifacts with checksum, lineage acyclic).
- Trigger S1–S5 to block release or tag [Restricted].

IX. Anti-Patterns & Fixes
- Anti: reporting mean latency only (no P95/P99) → Fix: add quantiles with windows & intervals.
- Anti: T_arr = ∫ n_eff / c_ref d ell (no parentheses) → Fix: parenthesized unified forms.
- Anti: cross-version comparisons under different load → Fix: hold or normalize λ, or include power analysis.
- Anti: missing energy/cost → Fix: report P_avg/energy_per_req/cost_per_K.
- Anti: releasing with p_dim < 1 under stress → Fix: trigger S1 to block and degrade/rollback.
