Parametric performance evaluation of a micro-based database system

Abstract

An extended analytical technique for performance evaluation of software packages is introduced. The purpose of this analytical technique is to present the performance evaluation of a system in parametric equations. The equations can be easily used in studying the system behavior in different environments without re-evaluating the performance of the system. This technique was applied on a micro-based relational database system called MICREL. The performance criteria were the transaction delay and the processing delay. The result is a set of performance equations for different operations of MICREL.
