Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Number of Access Control Rules = 500
- Average CPU Cycles per Rule Evaluation = 200
- CPU Clock Frequency = 2800000000
Expected Result:
- Policy Evaluation Latency = 3.5714285714286E-5
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Policy Evaluation Latency = 3.5714285714286E-5 s.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
policy evaluation latency = number of access control rules * average cpu cycles per rule evaluation / cpu clock frequencyPolicy Evaluation Latency.
