Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: identifying, by a processor, at least a first benchmark test procedure to evaluate at least a first and a second target platform for use with an application, said at least first benchmark test procedure including at least a first unit test; receiving by a communication device test result data from tests performed on said at least first and second target platform using said at least first benchmark test procedure; and performing, by said processor, a matching analysis to determine which of said at least first and second target platform is a best fit for said application; wherein said identifying, by the processor, at least a first benchmark test procedure further includes generating an application resource usage profile associated with the application; wherein said application resource usage profile includes a plurality of canonical forms, each canonical form associated with a relevance weighting; wherein said plurality of canonical forms include at least one canonical form selected from the group consisting off multithreaded, networking, floating point, memory intensive, integer intensive, and I/O disk processing.
