system performance
How well it works
System performance is how well a system accomplishes its intended functions—typically measured by speed, efficiency, reliability, and resource usage.
In computing, it encompasses processing speed, memory usage, and response times: We ran benchmarks to evaluate system performance.
The term applies broadly to any organized system: The new policy improved the healthcare system's performance.
- processing speedMental information-handling rate
- real timeWithout processing delay
- response timeInterval before reacting
- energy efficiencyMinimizing wasted power
- reliabilityConsistent, predictable performance
