Download or read book An Approach to Computer Installation Performance Effectiveness Evaluation written by Norman Statland and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process provides objective measures of performance efficiency based on both quantitative and qualitative data, and provides standards for measuring installation effectiveness. Specifications and characteristics are collected via questionnaires, once and only once, in four categories: computer hardware, extended machine (hardware/software interaction), software evaluation and problem specification. An extension of this measurement of computer system performance provides a rating for the performance of a given software package on a given piece of hardware by comparing the time derived from the hand-tailored coding to the timing resulting from the object program produced by the software. This ratio measures the efficiency of the software on the specific hardware configuration. The aggregate ratios for all the individual performance criteria are used to derive a performance standard for a software system. Algorithms are used to summarize the raw data elements and a computer program will select data elements, make simple arithmetic combinations of these elements into composites, and prepare the data for entry into a statistical analysis. Stepwise multiple regression analysis is utilized to determine the relative significance of various data elements and to calculate their relative weights. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seminal guide to performance analysis, with new information and essential advice The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis is the essential guide to practical performance analysis tools and techniques. This easy to follow guide presents a unique blend of measurement, simulation, and modeling methods in a straightforward, problem-oriented fashion, and integrates essential queuing theory with data analysis, experimental design, and the most powerful tools in performance analysis. This updated edition includes new chapters on Time Series Analysis and Long-Range Dependence, over 150 updated examples and cases studies, and a host of special tricks that demonstrate system superiority. Instructor's Materials, including PowerPoint slides, syllabus, and solutions for expanded exercises beyond the end-of-chapter exercises, is available making it ideal for classroom use. Performance testing measures a system's responsiveness and stability under a particular workload, and can serve to investigate, measure, validate, or verify other quality attributes of the system, including scalability, reliability, and resource usage. This book is the seminal work on the topic, providing expert guidance to systems professionals for over twenty-two years. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of performance measurement makes it a valuable resource for students and professionals alike. Understand technique and metric criteria, and avoid common mistakes Collect, analyze, and present measurement data with the most powerful techniques Provide the maximum amount of information with the minimum number of experiments Determine the number of sizes of components required (capacity planning) Evaluate design alternatives, correctly compare two or more systems, and determine the optimal value of a parameter (system tuning) Analysis in technology using statistics and other methodologies has become one of the most important, in-demand skills in the corporate and enterprise world. While practitioners may create new systems, they are often asked to modify, expand, or document existing systems – many of which have been grown haphazardly. Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis provides the information, skills, and tools analysts need to tackle any system with confidence.

Book excerpt: Developing Performance Support for Computer Systems: A Strategy for Maximizing Usability and Learnability provides detailed planning, design, and development guidance for generating performance support for new or upgraded computer systems. Performance support includes documentation, online help, coaches and wizards, training, and other materials necessary to enable users to perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively. This volume offers a strategy for maximizing ease-of-use and ease-of-learning through an integrated performance support systems approach. The text provides how-to guidance throughout that developers can apply directly to the design of their performance support tools and products. Rather than cover a few specific topic areas, it examines the entire spectrum of performance support. The book explains how to match performance support methods to task requirements, gives an overview of important user characteristics, and provides general guidance for presentation, layout, formatting, media selection, the use of color and icons, and accessibility. Evaluation checklists are included in the appendices and are also available online. Although this book primarily addresses the development of performance support for large software systems, the principles and approaches are valuable for any systems development environment.
