I need information on benchmarking system performance.
Are there any recommended books/articles on the subject?
What are the dimensions of performance, and how should they be measured
(e.g., how do I measure "disk throughput", "cpu performance", etc.)?
I hear of "whetstone" and other benchmarks (I recently copied a "dhrystone"
benchmark from net.sources -- thanks). What are these benchmarks, what do
they measure, and where can I get copies? Source code will be much
appreciated.
Please respond by mail (unless your info warrants a follow-up). If others
are interested, mail me your names and net-addresses, I will foreward copies.
If there is sufficient interest, I will post a summary.
Thanks in advance for whatever info you can offer.
