With growing demands for increased operational efficiency and process improvement in organizations of all sizes, more and more companies are turning to benchmarking as a means of setting goals and measuring performance against the products, services and practices of other organizations that are recognized as leaders. The Benchmarking Book is an indispensable guide to process improvement through benchmarking, providing managers, practitioners and consultants with all the information needed to carry out effective benchmarking studies. Covering everything from essential theory to important considerations such as project management and legal issues, The Benchmarking Book is the ideal step-by-step guide to assessing and improving your company’s processes and performance through benchmarking.
All the necessary tools to be successful.
Use this in-depth guide to correctly design benchmarks, measure key performance metrics of .NET applications, and analyze results. This book presents dozens of case studies to help you understand complicated benchmarking topics. You will avoid common pitfalls, control the accuracy of your measurements, and improve performance of your software. Author Andrey Akinshin has maintained BenchmarkDotNet (the most popular .NET library for benchmarking) for five years and covers common mistakes that developers usually make in their benchmarks. This book includes not only .NET-specific content but also essential knowledge about performance measurements which can be applied to any language or platform (common benchmarking methodology, statistics, and low-level features of modern hardware). What You'll LearnBe aware of the best practices for writing benchmarks and performance testsAvoid the common benchmarking pitfalls Know the hardware and software factors that affect application performanceAnalyze performance measurements Who This Book Is For .NET developers concerned with the performance of their applications
Computer and microprocessor architectures are advancing at an astounding pace. However, increasing demands on performance coupled with a wide variety of specialized operating environments act to slow this pace by complicating the performance evaluation process. Carefully balancing efficiency and accuracy is key to avoid slowdowns, and such a balance can be achieved with an in-depth understanding of the available evaluation methodologies. Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking outlines a variety of evaluation methods and benchmark suites, considering their strengths, weaknesses, and when each is appropriate to use. Following a general overview of important performance analysis techniques, th...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Symposium on Benchmarking, Measuring, and Optimization, Bench 2018, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in December 2018. The 20 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: AI Benchmarking; Cloud; Big Data; Modelling and Prediction; and Algorithm and Implementations.
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings the 14th TPC Technology Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking, TPCTC 2022, which was held in Sydney, NSW, Australia, on September 5, 2022. The 5 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 12 submissions. The conference focuses on Pick and Mix Isolation Levels; Benchmarking considerations for Trustworthy and Responsible AI (Panel); Preliminary Scaling Characterization with TPCx-AI and New Initiatives.
This book serves as both a textbook and handbook on the benchmarking of systems and components used as building blocks of modern information and communication technology applications. It provides theoretical and practical foundations as well as an in-depth exploration of modern benchmarks and benchmark development. The book is divided into two parts: foundations and applications. The first part introduces the foundations of benchmarking as a discipline, covering the three fundamental elements of each benchmarking approach: metrics, workloads, and measurement methodology. The second part focuses on different application areas, presenting contributions in specific fields of benchmark developme...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th TPC Technology Conference, on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking, TPCTC 2017, held in conjunction with the43rd International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2017) in August/September 2017. The 12 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numeroussubmissions. The TPC remains committed to developing new benchmark standards to keep pace with these rapid changes in technology.
