Performance is quite an interesting field in the IT industry. In simple terms, it is the total number of tasks completed by a computer system. The core objective of the performance factor is to produce the output with a short response time for the given set of tasks.

High throughput will be the goal of performance. There are two factors involved in calculating the value of throughput. This is mathematically noted as follows:

TH = N / T

Here, TH - Expected Throughput

N - Number of target tasks

T - Total time require to complete the task(s)

Let me give you a simple example. In a given condition, there are 100 target tasks to be completed in an enterprise application. The total execution time to complete the given 100 tasks may be 20 seconds. So, Threshold (TH) is as follows:

TH = 100 / 20 = 5 seconds per task

On comparison with a centralized system, distributed computing is expected to have better performance with high throughput.

To meet the expectation of the preceding characteristics, it is essential to build some performance-oriented aspects in the distributed system.
