HW2: How Is My System Performing?…

Question Description

So far, we have been looking at Operating Systems from a very high level…and hopefully, you are starting to look at your laptops and cell phones in terms that you were not before this class…so the question now is…just how good (or bad) is MY laptop compared against some performance benchmarks…

See the website below:

https://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm

This site has free benchmarking software that you can download and run against your computer…download the software and let it run against your system…run both the Standard AND the Advanced Test…

NOTE: THE ABOVE LINK IS FOR WINDOWS TESTING…PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES FOR SOME PERFORMANCE TESTING SOFTWARE FOR THE MAC…IF YOU ARE A MAC USER AND ALREADY HAVE A PERFORMANCE MEASURE SOFTWARE, YOU MAY USE IT…

https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/test-mac-speed-3654776/

So how did your system do?…what was your overall score and percentile?…what are the scores telling you?…were you surprised by the results?…do the benchmarks provided sync up with how you feel your system is performing?…provide some screen shots of the results…what takeaways do you have from this test?…any follow-ups?…how can you improve the performance of your laptop?…do you use any other performance testing software?…if so, which ones?…how do the results compare?…provide screen shots of the other performance monitoring software…

Keep your results handy…we will refer to them throughout the semester…

I will share my results in class next week…I would also like some volunteers to show their results in class…

As I mentioned, I am more concerned with QUALITY than I am with QUANTITY…but just as a guideline, you should submit at least TWO FULL PAGES OF WRITTEN CONTENT…meaning that screen shots (and this assignment has many), title page, source listing, etc. do NOT count as part of the two pages…

Also, refer to the “Written Assignment” rubric in the folder “Course Rubrics”…the items in that rubric will factor into your grade…
