Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1988 to define transaction processing and database benchmarks and to disseminate objective, verifiable TPC performance data to the industry. TPC benchmarks are used in evaluating the performance of computer systems; the results are published on the TPC web site. TPC’s flagship benchmark TPC-C, which simulates Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) Systems, was applied in 750 performance evaluations which have been published over the past two decades across a wide range of hardware and software platforms. About 25 sellers and about a dozen database platforms have used TPC-C results in their publications. [1]
Conference[edit]
TPC holds an International Technology Conference Series on Performance Evaluation & Benchmarking. This included the following events:
- The first TPCTC was collocated with the 35th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB), on August 24, 2009 in Lyon, France.[2][3]
- TPCTC 2010 was collocated with the 36th International Conference on Very Large Databases on September 17, 2010 in Singapore.[4][5]
- TPCTC 2011 was collocated with the 37th International Conference on Very Large Databases on August 29, 2011 in Seattle, Washington.[6]
- TPCTC 2012 was co-located with the 38th International Conference on Very Large Databases on August 27, 2012 in Istanbul,Turkey.[7]
- TPCTC 2013 was co-located with the 39th International Conference on Very Large Databases on August 26, 2013 in Trento, Italy.[8]
