Dependability Benchmarking for Computer Systems

ISBN: 9780470230558 出版年：2008 页码：382 Karama Kanoun Lisa Spainhower Wiley

As computer systems become more complex and mission-critical, it becomes imperative for systems engineers and researchers to have metrics for a system's "illities": dependability, reliability, availability, and serviceability. Written by leading experts, Dependability Benchmarking for Computer Systems provides a comprehensive collection of benchmarks for measuring dependability in hardware-software systems, and explains the concepts behind them. It collects the expert knowledge from DBench, a special research project funded by the European Union, to provide an inclusive text for engineers, researchers, system vendors, system purchasers, dependability researchers, computer industry consultants, and system integrators.
