Concepts of performance and workload measurements
Response time
Response time is the overall time between a request for system activity and the delivery
of the response
Response time includes three elements:
?
The time necessary to transmit or deliver the request to the system
?
The time the system needs to process the results
?
The time it takes to transmit or deliver the results back to the user
Response time is critical for user satisfaction
Turnaround time
?
Turnaround time measures the efficiency of centralised computer operations, which still are used
for certain tasks, such as credit card processing
?
Turnaround time is the amount of time between the arrival of a request at a computer centre and
the availability of the output for delivery or transmission
Throughput
?
Throughput measures the efficiency of the computer itself
?
Throughput is the time from the input of a request to the central processor until the output is
delivered to the system
