benchmark

In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.
The term benchmark is also commonly utilized for the purposes of elaborately designed benchmarking programs themselves.
Benchmarking is usually associated with assessing performance characteristics of computer hardware, for example, the floating point operation performance of a CPU, but there are circumstances when the technique is also applicable to software. Software benchmarks are, for example, run against compilers or database management systems (DBMS).
Benchmarks provide a method of comparing the performance of various subsystems across different chip/system architectures.

    Benchmark process, does it serve a meaningful purpose

    Do you know what it is? Do you follow it? Do you get the Customer to sign it? Do you always provide the customer with a demonstration? What happens if you later find that the installation doesn't meet Building Regs? What does "Highlight to the customer any remedial or improvement work identified...

    Completing a benchmark

    Just a quick one; When filling out the benchmark when installing a boiler, when you use the manufacturers app does that mean you don’t have to fill the one in on the actual paper manual? Also, when installing a gas hob I know you don’t have to fill in a benchmark but is it always best to...

    Benchmark number?!?

    Hi there all, Just wondering where the 'benchmark number' comes from when filling in the paperwork after installing a boiler? Is it something that is sent through with the Gas Safe notification or do I need to get it from somewhere else. Thanking in advance for any help Matt
