Abstract
A set of terminal scripts and benchmarks have been derived for
comparing the performance of time sharing and batch computer operating
systems. Some of the problems encountered in designing valid benchmarks
for comparing computer operating systems under both terminal and
batch loads are discussed.
The results of comparing TSS/360, CP/67 and MTS time sharing systems
for the IBM 360/67 over a wide range of load conditions are presented.
The results of comparing TSS, MTS and OS/MVT under batch loads are also
presented
.
Serious performance degradation of the time sharing computer systems
from overloading was experienced and a simple solution is suggested to
prevent such degradation. The degradation was so severe as to render
the performance less than that of a sequential job processor system.
