Computer Measurement Group

The Computer Measurement Group (CMG), founded in 1974, is a worldwide <a href="/facts/Non-profit_organization/AmXu2c85">non-profit organization</a> of <a href="/facts/Data_processing/74EKCDAq">data processing</a> professionals whose work involves measuring and managing the performance of computing systems. In this context, performance is understood to mean the <a href="/facts/Response_time_(technology)/3kQrmztQ">response time</a> of <a href="/facts/Application_software/YQuj7Kog">software applications</a> of interest, and the overall capacity (or throughput) characteristics of the system, or of some part of the system.
CMG members are primarily concerned with evaluating and maximizing the performance of existing <a href="/facts/Computer_systems/SQe1aK05">computer systems</a> and <a href="/facts/Computer_networks/3w5RM99p">networks</a>, and with <a href="/facts/Capacity_management/7PHCvSXj">capacity management</a>, in which planned enhancements to existing systems or the designs of new systems are evaluated to find the necessary <a href="/facts/Resource_(computer_science)/bX958SEx">resources</a> required to provide adequate performance at a reasonable cost.
