商品描述

This book serves as both a textbook and handbook on the benchmarking of systems and components used as building blocks of modern information and communication technology applications. It provides theoretical and practical foundations as well as an in-depth exploration of modern benchmarks and benchmark development.

The book is divided into two parts: foundations and applications. The first part introduces the foundations of benchmarking as a discipline, covering the three fundamental elements of each benchmarking approach: metrics, workloads, and measurement methodology. The second part focuses on different application areas, presenting contributions in specific fields of benchmark development. These contributions address the unique challenges that arise in the conception and development of benchmarks for specific systems or subsystems, and they demonstrate how the foundations and concepts in the first part of the book are being used in existing benchmarks. Further, the book presents a number of concrete applications and case studies based on input from leading benchmark developers from consortia such as the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) and the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). Besides a number of updates in almost all chapters, for this new edition three chapters are added in Part II of the book: (1) "Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence" to cater the growing need to evaluate and benchmark ML and AI systems, (2) "Scalability of Networks and Systems" focusing on novel metrics and techniques to evaluate scalability, and (3) "PC, Workstation, Graphics, and Network Benchmarks" covering popular benchmarks like SYSmark, PCMark, Phoronix Test Suite, 3DMark, the Blender benchmark, and end-to-end network performance tools.

Providing both practical and theoretical foundations, as well as a detailed discussion of modern benchmarks and their development, the book is intended as a handbook for professionals and researchers working in areas related to benchmarking. It offers an up-to-date point of reference for existing work as well as latest results, research challenges, and future research directions. It also can be used as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate students studying any of the many subjects related to benchmarking. While readers are assumed to be familiar with the principles and practices of computer science, as well as software and systems engineering, no specific expertise in any subfield of these disciplines is required.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書同時作為現代資訊與通信技術應用中系統和元件基準測試的教科書和手冊。它提供了理論和實踐基礎，並深入探討現代基準測試及其開發。

本書分為兩個部分：基礎和應用。第一部分介紹基準測試作為一門學科的基礎，涵蓋每種基準測試方法的三個基本要素：指標、工作負載和測量方法。第二部分專注於不同的應用領域，展示在特定基準開發領域的貢獻。這些貢獻針對在特定系統或子系統的基準構思和開發中出現的獨特挑戰，並展示了本書第一部分的基礎和概念如何應用於現有的基準測試。此外，本書還根據來自標準性能評估公司（SPEC）和交易處理性能委員會（TPC）等聯盟的領先基準開發者的意見，呈現了多個具體應用和案例研究。除了幾乎所有章節的更新外，此新版本在第二部分新增了三個章節：（1）「機器學習與人工智慧」，以滿足評估和基準測試機器學習和人工智慧系統日益增長的需求；（2）「網絡和系統的可擴展性」，專注於評估可擴展性的創新指標和技術；（3）「個人電腦、工作站、圖形和網絡基準」，涵蓋了如SYSmark、PCMark、Phoronix測試套件、3DMark、Blender基準和端到端網絡性能工具等流行基準。

本書提供了實用和理論基礎，以及對現代基準測試及其開發的詳細討論，旨在成為從事基準測試相關領域的專業人士和研究人員的手冊。它提供了現有工作的最新參考點，以及最新結果、研究挑戰和未來研究方向。它也可以作為研究生和碩士生學習與基準測試相關的多個主題的教科書。雖然假設讀者熟悉計算機科學的原則和實踐，以及軟體和系統工程，但不需要在這些學科的任何子領域具備特定專業知識。

作者簡介

Samuel Kounev is a Professor of Computer Science and Chair of Software Engineering at the University of Würzburg (Germany). He has been actively involved in the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), the largest standardization consortium in the area of computer systems benchmarking, since 2002. He serves as the elected chair of the SPEC Research Group, which he initiated in 2010 with the goal of providing a platform for collaborative research efforts between academia and industry in the area of quantitative system evaluation. Samuel is also co-founder of several conferences in the field, including the ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) and the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS), for which he serves on the steering committees. He has published extensively in the area of systems benchmarking, modeling, and evaluation of performance, energy efficiency, reliability, and security.

Klaus-Dieter Lange is a Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), where he started his professional career in 1998. His focus is on performance and workload optimization, industry-standard benchmark development, server efficiency, and the design of sustainable secure enterprise solutions. He serves on the SPEC Board of Directors and has been on the ICPE Steering Committee since its inception. Klaus is the founding chair of the SPECpower Committee, which, under his technical leadership, develops and maintains the SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark, the SPEC PTDaemon Interface, the Chauffeur Worklet Development Kit, and the Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT) suite, among others. In 2020, Klaus drove the establishment of the SPEC International Standards Group (ISG) for which he has been serving as chair since then.

Jóakim von Kistowski is a Professor of Software Design at Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany). He focuses on modern software architectures, cloud-native software development, DevOps, and Green IT. In his prior role as senior software architect, Jóakim contributed to the adoption of new software performance, load testing, and benchmarking methods in industry. Jóakim has a strong SPEC background, having actively contributed to the SPECpower Committee and served as former chair of the SPEC RG Power Working Group.
