MIPS topic again:
One of our customer has reported that our (long runing) server
application is using 500 MIPS /day.How to understand this, and is there
any standard tool to generate a report like this(i.e how many MIPS has
used )
--------------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------
Your customer doesn't know s**t from shoe polish. MIPS (Misleading
Indicators of Performance Specifications) is a RATE measurement, NOT a
total usage value. His concern should be focused on one far more
important issue: "Are my business needs being satisfied?". If so, then
be quiet; if not, then it's time to address application performance
issues, or perhaps overall system performance issues.
Rather than concentrating on the "Airline Magazine" garbage, a better
question would be "How many service units per day am I expending in this
application?" Or "How is my application performing during peak usage
periods?" Unfortunately, far too many managers concentrate on issues
that they're not qualified to address.
Thank you, Gartner Group, for making managers think they know it all,
when they really know nothing!
