to know why one vendor supports a new release at announce and
another takes a year or more? Want to know how to evaluate a
processor change? DASD changes? Lots of good questions!
This presentation is Research in Progress that will hopefully wind up with the technology to measure Linux systems. Techniques and technology will be presented for analyzing and solving problems in performance measurement, capacity planning, and service level agreements.
