Excerpt from Federal Information Processing Standards Publication: Guidelines for Benchmarking Adp Systems in the Competitive Procurement Environment; May 15, 1977

The Federal Information Processing Standards Publication Series of the National Bureau of Standards (nbs) is the official publication series relating to Federal standards and guidelines adopted and promulgated under the provisions of Public Law 89 - 306 (brooks Act) and under Part 6 of Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations. Under pl. 89-306, the Secretary of Commerce has important responsibilities for improving the utili zation and effectiveness of computer systems in the Federal Government. In order to carry out the Secretary's responsibilities, the nbs, through its Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, provides leadership, technical guidance, and coordination of Government efforts in the development of technical guidelines and standards in these areas.

Workload definition and benchmarking for the competitive procurement of Federal computer systems has proved to be a very costly process for both the computer user and the computer vendor. For some types of systems, such as those supporting large numbers of interactive terminals, current benchmark procedures have technical shortcomings in addition to their high costs.
