Performance Measurement for Parallel and Distributed Programs: a Structured and Automatic Approach
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (ISOF), Volume 15, Issue 12Pages 1615–1629https://doi.org/10.1109/32.58772Novel approaches are presented for designing performance measurement systems for parallel and distributed programs. The first approach involves unifying performance information into a single, regular structure that reflects the structure of programs ...

The effects of using a nonprocedural computer language on programmer productivity
An empirical experiment was conducted in order to compare a third generation, procedural language (COBOL) with a fourth generation, nonprocedural language (Focus) in terms of programmer productivity and program efficiency. Six applications were ...

The Refinement Paradigm: The Interaction of Coding and Efficiency Knowledge in Program Synthesis
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (ISOF), Volume 7, Issue 5Pages 458–471https://doi.org/10.1109/TSE.1981.230854A refinement paradigm for implementing a high-level specification in a low-level target language is discussed. In this paradigm, coding and analysis knowledge work together to produce an efficient program in the target language. Since there are many ...

Evaluating Program and Managerial Efficiency: An Application of Data Envelopment Analysis to Program Follow Through
A model for measuring the efficiency of Decision Making Units =DMU's is presented, along with related methods of implementation and interpretation. The term DMU is intended to emphasize an orientation toward managed entities in the public and/or not-for-...

Two languages for estimating program efficiency
Communications of the ACM (CACM), Volume 17, Issue 6Pages 301–308https://doi.org/10.1145/355616.361015Two languages enabling their users to estimate the efficiency of computer programs are presented. The program whose efficiency one wishes to estimate is written in the first language, a go-to-less programming language which includes most of the features ...
