Question { IIT, 77142 }

What is the relation between Response Time and Throughput?

Answer

Throughput - It is the amount of work that a computer can
do in a given time
period
Response Time - The amount of time between a single
interactive user
request being entered and receiving the application's
response is known as
response time
– “The speed with which one or a set of batch programs run
with a certain workload
or how many interactive user requests are being handled
with what
responsiveness”
– “Cost per million instructions per second (MIPS)"
provides a basis for comparing
the cost of raw computing over time or by manufacturer,
throughput theoretically
tells you how much useful work the MIPS are producing”
