He highlighted the latter type in saying, \"There is substantial agreement that the only performance tool which is accurate enough for selection purposes is a well-composed live benchmark.\" Timmreck left it to readers to pick a methodology, including any of six other approaches he cited \"to prove that a system can in fact carry the user's load.\"","PeriodicalId":87449,"journal":{"name":"ONS connect","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136199446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
