Abstract
The use of measurement methods, called benchmarks, to predict how well different classes of computers will perform various tasks is discussed, and some popular benchmarks are considered. The problems entailed in benchmarking massively parallel processors and symmetric multiprocessing systems and, even more difficult, graphics workstations are examined. Requirements for advanced applications are addressed.<>
