This benchmark is made from load average sample data. The main goal is to improve reliability and performance of a set of devices or components. In particular, the stability of the system is measured in terms of variability of the load. A forecast of the behavior of this stability is also proposal as part of the reporting benchmark. At the final stage, a more stable system is obtained and its global reliability and performance can be then evaluated by means of appropriate specifications.}, author = {Lopez, Victoria and Mi{\~n}ana, Guadalupe and Tejada Cazorla, Juan A. and Caro Carretero, Raquel}, keywords = {Reliability, stability, operating systems, computer systems, monitoring, benchmarking}, isbn = {978-3-642-37831-7}, url = {http://bbs.sciencenet.cn/thread-576689-1-1.html} }
