Fortier, Howard E. Michel.Burlington, MA :Digital Press ;c2003.xiii, 525 p. :ill. ; 24 cm.Includes bibliographical references (p. 495-503) and index.Introduction; Computer Data Processing Hardware Architecture; Fundamental Concepts and Performance Measures; General Measurement Principles; Probability; Stochastic Processes; Queuing Theory; Simulation Analysis; Petri Nets; Hardware Testbeds, Instrumentation, Measurement, Data Extraction, and Analysis; System Performance Evaluation Tool Selection and Use; Analysis of Computer Architectures; Analysis of Operating System Components; Database Systems Performance Analysis; Analysis of Computer Networks Components.Computer Systems Performance Evaluation and Prediction bridges the gap from academic to professional analysis of computer performance. This book makes analytic, simulation and instrumentation based modeling and performance evaluation of computer systems components understandable to a wide audience of computer systems designers, developers, administrators, managers and users. The book assumes familiarity with computer systems architecture, computer systems software, computer networks and mathematics including calculus and linear algebra. Fills the void between engineering practice and the academic domain's treatment of computer systems performance evaluation and assessment Provides a single source where the professional or student can learn how to perform computer systems engineering tradeoff analysis Allows managers to realize cost effective yet optimal computer systems tuned to a specific application.Electronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions.Computer systemsEvaluation.Computer systemsReliability.Electronic books.localMichel, Howard Edgar.Original15555826059781555582609(DLC) 2002034389(OCoLC)50684075Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781555582609An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els031/2002034389.htmlTable of contentshttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els031/2002034389.html.b1365463924-02-2224-01-08991003245469707536C0TEFComputer systems performance evaluation and prediction1212788UNISALENTOle02924-01-08mm -engmau00
