60s, science center did extensive work on cp40 and then cp67 to gather
accurate statistics and use them for resource management and scheduling
(and accounting)
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

however, cp67 delivered to univ. jan1968 took enormous amount of
processing to support the accurate statistics, resource management and
scheduling. Even after the Lincoln Labs redo shipped later spring
of 1968 ... 35users could still take 10% of processing (overhead
increased non-linear with number of users).

Then as undergraudate in the 60s, I then redid the whole thing, making
the overhead linear proportional to user activity (independent of number
of users) and drastically reducing to less than 1% of user activity ...
while making the resource management and scheduling much more effective.
This was shipped to customers and came to be referred to as "wheeler
scheduler" or "fair share scheduler" (because default resource
management policy was fair share).
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#fairshare

In the early 70s, the science center used the extensive statistics
gathering for modeling (both analytical and event driven) as
configuration and workload profiling (which evolved into capacity
planning).

A variation on one of the (science center, APL-based) analytical models
was made available on the world-wide sales & marketing online HONE
systems as the Performance Predictor; SEs could enter customer
configuration and workload profiles and ask "what-if" questions about
what happens when configuration and/or workload changes are made.
