Experimental Evaluation of Desktop Operating Systems Networking Performance

Performance evaluation of dynamic priority operating systems

Operating systems which implement a dynamic priority mechanism are very common. Nevertheless, it is very di cult to develop an accurate analytical model to evaluate their performance, mainly due to the different forms of dependency between the various constituent parts. In this paper, we introduce a black box modeling approach which allows us to identify and decompose the di erent functions of ...

Performance Evaluation of Recent Windows Operating Systems

The primary goal of most OSs (Operating Systems) is the efficient use of computer systems software and hardware resources. Since Windows OSs are most widely used OS for personal computers, they need to satisfy needs of all different kind of computer systems users. In comparison with Windows XP, new versions of the Windows OS; namely Windows Vista and Windows 7, introduce a number of new feature...

Performance measurement and evaluation of time-shared operating systems

Performance Evaluation of Operating Systems Using Approximate Analytical Methods

The motivation for the following paper were three models for a variant of a UNIX based multiprocessor operating system that was developed at the Institute for mathematical machines and dataprocessing IV [Jung 91]. These models were formerly analyzed by Markovian methods to get performance measures and the measurements of the real system were also available. This models had the following problem...

Measuring Operating Systems Performance

This instantly raises a question: what do we mean by performance? Most of us have an informal sense of what we mean. Perhaps we mean we don’t want to wait for our commands to complete. Perhaps we mean we want to run complex calculations on very large data sets fast enough for the results to be useful. Perhaps we mean we want to get the most possible work through a given piece of hardware that w...
