Elapsed time is the typical benchmarking metric, used, for example, by the language benchmarks game.

Not sure what "abstract metrics" are you referring to.

"Measurements of performance" https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGU8G_14.1.0...

I know what latency and throughput are. I am asking what "abstract metrics" previous commenter was referring to as opposed to these.
