Computer Performance Evaluation During System Acquisition.
Abstract:
This report discusses the applications of various computer performance evaluation CPE tools and techniques such as hardware monitors, software monitors, and computer simulation during the acquisition of Air Force Command, Control and Communications C cubed systems. It is intended primarily for analysts concerned with the specification, measurement and evaluation of the performance of the computer resources in these systems. It can be used to augment the software acquisition guidebooks e. g., Software Verification and checklists being developed to assist in the review of system acquisition documents. This report does not discuss either performance evaluation per se or the activities, milestones or products during system acquisition. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with these subjects.
