Benchmarks theory-implementation-meausures
 

Hi i need to learn the theory of benchmarking and use it in order to compare the performance between two things.
The main problem is that a need to meausuer a lot of different things...
Lets take a look in some of them
I need to see which program performs better. We have 2 programs providing the same functionality and we need to compare them . What we must do?

We need to know how different versions of recompiled kernels helps or not our applications....

As u can see i need a benchmark expert guy....So do u have some sites forums, pdf e-books for start reading-searching?

Without knowing what the program is supposed to be doing it is difficult to say waht to do. Does better performance mean handling more requests per second or does it on perform one request that must be completed quickly? Is it a network app? Does it open and close lots of file?

Try using the commands "time", "top" and "sar".

Thx a lot
 

Thx for your answer......




The same things i am also asking..... My solution would be probable if i could find a site with lot o f resources about benchmarking.....Surfing around this site i can propably find out what things i must benchmark for specific problems. Thx
