Analytical Techniques for the Statistical Evaluation of Program Running Time
Boris Beizer · afips · 1899
The design of large software systems or real-time systems imposes several constraints on the designer. Predominant among these are the running time of the programs, the amount of memory used by these programs, and the input/output channel utilization. A well considered design not only runs, but has optimum efficiency. Efficiency is often measured by the running time of the program.
