Abstract | Is the load on your computer shifting? Did that change to faster access disks really help? Would more core memory increase throughput appreciably, or would it be necessary to also increase central processor power? These are three quite different kinds of questions; one concerns detecting a long-term trend, another assessing the effects of a system change, and a third estimating effects of the decision to alter the configuration. Yet all of these require knowledge of current and past system performance, the type of knowledge that must be the result of long-term performance monitoring. This is not simple enough to be picked up overnight or in one series of experiments, nor can it be assessed by watching one or two parameters over a long period. One must have a thorough understanding of the pattern of performance by knowing the mean values of a number of measures and knowing something about the variations from these means. This paper hardly needs to recommend that computer managers establish an understanding of performance pattern; they already are very conscious of the need. What it does is recount development of a method of doing so for the CDC 6400 at the University of Washington and of the selection of “Kiviat Graphs” as a means to present data in a synoptic form. The remainder of this paper will give a brief account of the authors' experience in designing a measurement system for the CDC 6400 at the University of Washington Computer Center. This will include comments on the approach to deciding what to measure an d display for the synoptic view of the system, as well as how to provide more detailed data for backup. Examples of the use of Kiviat Graphs [4] to show the effects of load shift and of a system configuration change are included, and the effect of a change of operating system will be noted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
