The first edition of this book, published by Springer in 2020, was received very well by the community and has now been established as both a textbook and a practical guide covering the state-of-the-art and future directions in the field of systems benchmarking. Together with the supplementary materials, the book is being adopted for teaching benchmarking in a growing number of graduate and postgraduate courses at universities around the world. It provides theoretical and practical foundations as well as an in-depth exploration of modern benchmarks and benchmark development.
Besides a number of updates in almost all chapters, for this new edition three chapters are added in Part II of the book: (1) “Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence” to cater the growing need to evaluate and benchmark ML and AI systems, (2) “Scalability of Networks and Systems” focusing on novel metrics and techniques to evaluate scalability, and (3) „PC, Workstation, Graphics, and Network Benchmarks“ covering popular benchmarks like SYSmark, PCMark, Phoronix Test Suite, 3DMark, the Blender benchmark, and end-to-end network performance tools.
