Characterisation Survey
(December 1, 1993).
Abstract
The performance of a computer system is affected by the characteristics
of its various hardware and software subsystems. Hardware and software
characterisation give the ability to change machine and programs
parameters and observe their effects on the performance of the system
without changing the existing hardware which can be time consuming and
cost prohibitive. This report provides a survey of the techniques and
tools used in the hardware and software characterisation of parallel
systems.
