Abstract

Competitive computer system selection requires a tool for minimum performance measurement. The selection process must be fair and, ideally, brief and economical. Thus, the measurement tool must be visibly fair and impartial in its measurement of a computer system, it must relate what is being measured to user needs, and it must be economical to apply. The thrust of several ongoing "standard benchmark" efforts in the Department of Defense and other Federal Government agencies is to develop a measurement tool with these qualities.
