Abstract
A method and an apparatus for characterizing performance of a device based on user-perceivable latency. To characterize device performance, a value of a metric may be computed from latencies of operations performed by the device. In computing a value of a metric, latencies may be treated differently, such that some latencies perceivable by a user of the device may have a greater impact on the value of the metric than other latencies that either are not perceivable or are perceived by the user to a lesser degree. Such a performance metric based on user-perceivable latency facilitates identification of computing device that provide a desirable user experience.
