In the preface to
The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis: Techniques for Experimental Design, Measurement, Simulation, and Modeling
, Raj Jain discusses the intended audience and the goals of the book, which are to:• Provide computer professionals simple and straightforward performance analysis techniques in a comprehensive textbook.• Give basic modeling, simulation, measurement, experimental design, and statistical analysis background.• Emphasize and integrate the modeling and measurement aspects of performance analysis.• Discuss common mistakes and games in performance analysis studies.• Illustrate the presented techniques using examples and case studies from the field of computer systems.• Summarize key techniques and results in "boxes".• Organize chapters in 45-minute lectures and include appropriate exercises.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
