Computer PerformanceA computer's performance is measured by how well it performs tasks. Good computers can perform work quickly with few resources. Users can use various criteria to evaluate computer （ 1 ）.Response time - When a user enters data at a terminal, the computer responds. The amount of time the process takes is the response time. Computers with slow （ 2 ） times are inefficient and frustrating.Availability - A computer's availability is simply its ability to work at any given time. Most （ 3 ） need a computer that is available immediately, and at any time.Data transmission - A computer's ability to send and receive data quickly is important. The transmission rate is measured in bit/s, and is called bandwidth. Slow （ 4 ） leads to delays receiving information.Software implementation - A computer's compression ratio is how （ 5 ） it can make information. Its rates of data compression and decompression also affect its performance.
