A guide to Macro and Micro Computer Performance Evaluation.
Abstract
Guidelines and discussions are presented for computer performance
evaluation at two levels. The first level, Computer
Performance Management (CPM) or Macro Performance Evaluation,
involves an overall computer performance management strategy
concerning the use of computer resources. The role of CPM
throughout the computer system life-cycle is also discussed.
The second level of computer performance involves Computer Performance Evaluation (CPE) or Micro Performance Evaluation.
A brief discussion of CPE tools is given, as well as
how to select a performance monitor. Some computer performance
fallacies are revealed and a discussion of the determination
of "critical sections" of software systems and program tuning
practices for improving system performance is presented.
Limited discussion is devoted to performance issues in relatively
new areas in the computer field such as networks, data base
management systems and microcomputers.
