How to measure scalability in a distributed system

问题:

Are there in the literature some standard scalability measures for distributed systems? I'm searching in google (and also google scholar) but I came up with only few papers (e.g., https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=862209). In particular, I was wondering if there are some scalability measures for the three axes of the AKF cube or cube of the scalability (http://microservices.io/articles/scalecube.html), which is described in the book The Art of Scalability, by Abbott and Fischer.

回答1:

There is no such unit for scalability. However, it is often illustrated by chart having the amount of resources in X-axis and throughput or latency in the Y-axis.
