Synopsis

Quantitative computer performance analysis consists of discovering and ascertaining the efficiency of a computer system; it may be, for example, concerned with the estimation of the performance behaviour of a system under construction, or monitoring that of an existing one. This book presents a body of proven methods on quantitative performance analysis developed over the years, and is based on lecture material given to students of computer science at London and Reading Universities. A large proportion of computer science students feel uneasy about quantitative computer systems analysis because they either find the whole subject obscure and difficult to understand, or they find it difficult to relate the sometimes excessively theoretical treatment to concrete performance situations. Written with this in mind, this book emphasises the practical applications and usable results rather than the general techniques of analysis.
