Research and Development Needs for Computer Performance Evaluation,

Abstract

Computer performance evaluation (CPE) will continue to have a major impact on new and existing computer systems within the Air Force. To identify areas where potentially significant benefits might accrue, an investigation of present CPE tools and techniques as well as those not available or generally not applied inside the Air Force was initiated. Four broad areas which relate to computer system performance were investigated: cost as a measure of performance, system architectures and their impact on CPE, CPE considerations of data base management systems, and computer facility operational and procedural CPE factors. Expansion of CPE to facility management is identified as a major area of performance improvement potential. Recommendations are given for a number of follow-on investigations.
