How would you mathematically model the distribution of repeated real life performance measurements - \"Real life\" meaning you are not just looping over the code in question, bu
In addition to already given answers consider Empirical Distributions. I have successful experience in using empirical distributions for performance analysis of several distributed systems. The idea is very straightforward. You need to build histogram of performance measurements. Measurements should be discretized with given accuracy. When you have histogram you could do several useful things:
