Abstract
A computerized method is disclosed which aids in the comparison of different computer systems according to their performance parameters under established or proprietary benchmark performance tables or databases. The method, particularly when implemented in executable code, allows system planners to conveniently make an accurate decision about what computer system will most efficiently meet their computing needs. System planners may also determine how much money is required for a marginal increase in performance. In this way, a system planner may consider whether the additional expenditures required to increase power or capacity across vendors results in a cost-effective increase, when compared against a less powerful but less expensive system.
