Abstract
Computer performance analysis, whether it be for design, selection or improvement, has a large body of literature to draw upon. It is surprising, however, that few texts exist on the subject. The purpose of this paper is to provide a feature analysis of the four major texts suitable for professional and academic purposes.

Computer performance evaluation: an empirical approach
Computer performance evaluation can be delineated into the areas of selection, projection and monitoring. The tuning of existing systems for efficient performance may be viewed as a special case of the projection activity involving modeling, statistics ...
A New Era of Performance Evaluation
Computers increasingly interact with other computers, humans, and the outside world, leading to scenario-oriented computing, an emerging category of design that will enable future consumer devices and usher in a new era of performance evaluation.
A Framework for Computer Performance Evaluation Using Benchmark Sets
Benchmarking is a widely used approach to measure computer performance. Current use of benchmarks only provides running times to describe the performance of a tested system. Glancing through these execution times provides little or no information about ...
