Abstract :
This paper discusses the most important aspects determining the value of computer system working time, methods for measuring them, and formulas combining the measurements into a synthetic estimate of the cost of computer system working time. The estimated costs can be useful in pointing at system tasks worth optimization, and can help evaluate profitability of possible system upgrade.
