Title: Excellent - just buy it
Review: I found this book by accident looking for some statistics help for a benchmarking project. It turned out to be worth its weight in gold as it is very clear, comphrehensive, and readable.He outlines and elaborates a methodical, straightforward approach to performance analysis and provides excellent sections on what to do, not do, and how to validate or refute the analyses of others.Extensive examples with solutions and enough equations to let you easily implement the analysis portions in code (or a spreadsheet if need be).If you are doing any kind of performance analysis, whether it is for computer systems or not, you should get a copy.The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is a very small number of the example answers have typos or rounding errors. Be sure to get the errata list from the website.
