CUC 2004 D2 Emir Imamagić, Branimir Radić - Benchmarking the Performance of JMS on Computer Clusters
Benchmarks are instruments that evaluate overall performance of computers. They are used to quantify overall system performance by measuring the standard performance parameters and the time it takes for completing a specific job. Benchmarking clusters of computers demand somewhat different approach, being that they are composed of a number of interlinked computer nodes. One could put the emphases of the benchmarking on the performance of individual nodes or the system in total or a combination of the two.
