Foreword by David Patterson
In January of 2010, I met Sam and Klaus at the inaugural International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE), in San Jose, USA. I gave the keynote address “Software Knows Best: Portable Parallelism Requires Standardized Measurements of Transparent Hardware” to an audience where half was from the industry and half from academia. That was by design, since in their roles as co-founders and steering committee members of ICPE, they drove to establish this forum for sharing ideas and experiences between industry and academia. Thus, I was not surprised to see that their book “Systems Benchmarking—For Scientists and Engineers” has the same underlying tone: to foster the integration of theory and practice in the field of systems benchmarking. Their work is twofold: Part I can be used as a textbook for graduate students as it introduces the foundations of benchmarking. It covers: • • • • • • • • •
the fundamentals of benchmarking, a refresher of probability and statistics, benchmark metrics, statistical measurements, experimental design, measurement techniques, operat
