Zusammenfassung
With our increasing dependence on control computer systems, our concern about the performance and safety of these systems grows. One would like to measure the performance and safety of these systems and also compare these systems to each other. What meaning should be given to the performance of a computer system? Is the CPU speed important? Is the I/O speed sufficient? Would more memory improve information processing? As can be seen, it is no simple matter to measure the performance of a computer system, let alone if the omputer system is operating in the so-called real-time mode, whose most important characteristic is, that specific processes must be initiated and completed in given time.
