Introduction to Benchmarking

Peter Bogetoft

Chapter Chapter 1 in Performance Benchmarking, 2012, pp 1-21 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the contents of the book and a sound framework for thinking about benchmarking. We discuss questions like: What is traditional benchmarking and how do state-of-the-art methods covered in this book differ from traditional benchmarking? How common is benchmarking and what general applications of benchmarking can we distinguish?
