Increasing attention is being paid to the measurement and evaluation of computer systems performance. A recent bibliography, laying no claim to completeness, lists roughly 250 items all published in the last decade. While there is still a lack of unified "theory of computer performance" as observed by Johnson, several techniques are being used---primarily analysis, simulation, monitoring, and benchmarking. The choice depends somewhat on the characteristics of the system under examination and on the purposes of the exercise.
