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 widely used today in evaluating the performance of computer systems; the results are published on the TPC web site.

TPC Benchmarks

Current Standards

  • TPC-C - An on-line transaction processing benchmark.
  • TPC-E - An on-line transaction processing benchmark that simulates the OLTP workload of a brokerage firm.
  • TPC-H - An ad-hoc, decision support benchmark.

Specifications consistent for all TPC Standards

Standards under development

  • ETL
  • Virtualization

Companies interested in participating in the development of these standards are invited to join the TPC.

Obsolete Standards

  • TPC-A - Measures performance in update-intensive database environments typical in on-line transaction processing applications. (Obsolete as of 6/6/95)
  • TPC-App - An application server and web services benchmark.
  • TPC-B - Measures throughput in terms of how many transactions per second a system can perform. (Obsolete as of 6/6/95)
  • TPC-D - Represents a broad range of decision support applications that require complex, long running queries against large complex data structures. (Obsolete as of 4/6/99)
  • TPC-R - A business reporting, decision support benchmark. (Obsolete as of 1/1/2005)
  • TPC-W - A transactional web e-Commerce benchmark. (Obsolete as of 4/28/05)

TPC Technology Conference on Performance Evaluation & Benchmarking (TPCTC)

With this conference series, the TPC encourages researchers and industry experts to present novel ideas and methodologies in performance evaluation, measurement, and characterization for consideration in future benchmark developments.
