Workload resources measurement

Edit online

If the real program, a comparable program, or a prototype is available for measurement, the choice of technique depends on several factors.

These factors are:

  • Whether the system is processing other work in addition to the workload we want to measure.
  • Whether we have permission to use tools that may degrade performance. For example, is this system in production or is it dedicated to our use for the duration of the measurement?
  • The degree to which we can simulate or observe an authentic workload.
