Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A method is presented for evaluating computer system performance in terms of a cost/utilization factor and a measure of imbalance. These coefficients indicate the extent to which the total system cost is effectively utilized. The method includes a technique for the visual representation of system performance.
