TPC-C (Non-Clustered 2-Way Systems) Result

For more information, visit the TPC-C Top Ten Non-Clustered Performance list.

The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), a not-for-profit organization, was founded to define transaction processing and database performance benchmarks, such as the TPC-C, TPC-H, and TPC-W benchmarks, and to disseminate objective performance data based on those benchmarks. TPC benchmarks have extremely stringent requirements, and must undergo an independent audit. Council members include most major database vendors and suppliers of server hardware systems.

Companies participate in TPC benchmarking for an objective demonstration of performance in a regulated environment, and to apply technologies used in the testing process to produce more robust and scalable software and hardware products.

TPC-C is the industry-standard benchmark for measuring the performance and scalability of online transaction processing (OLTP) systems. It tests a broad cross-section of database functionality including inquiry, update, and queued mini-batch transactions. Many IT professionals consider TPC-C to be a valid indicator of "real-world" OLTP system performance.

The TPC-C benchmark measures throughput in business transactions per minute (tpmC) for a simulated order-entry and distribution environment. Specifically, it measures how many new order transactions per minute a system generates while the system is simultaneously executing four other transaction types, such as payments, order-status updates, deliveries, and stock-level changes. Independent auditors certify benchmark results and a full disclosure report is filed with the TPC. The full disclosure reports are available on the TPC Web page.
