摘要 |
The invention includes methods for deriving a computer system processing capacity metric for characterizing a computer system comprising at least one computer processor having a known processor clock speed, comprising the step of performing a computational function wherein at least one term of the function is determined by a value X derived at least in part by raising said clock speed to a non-integral exponential power. Processing capacity may be thus calculated by mathematical analysis alone, based on a limited number of inputs regarding a real or theoretical computer system combination, in a fashion that replicates accurately, and can replace, actual physical testing or benchmarkings of systems.
