Exception Reporting: An Aid to the Computer Performance Analyst.

Eugene Seals

Expert InsightsPublished 1974

As computer performance analysis gains more proponents, more confusion and inefficiency is introduced into the analysis process. One area in which this is especially true is the selection of application programs for analysis and modification. This paper summarizes the existence of the problem and the brute force approach commonly taken in search of a solution. In addition, a new approach is suggested which greatly simplifies the analyst's approach and resolution of performance problems. An example of the exception-reporting concept is presented, using actual data from production facilities. 16 pp. Ref.
