I guess there will be two numbers widely quoted from the new SDM benchmarks: a peak throughput for KENBUS and a peak throughput for SDET. Unfortunately, there is no mention in the SPEC literature/press announcements of abbreviated labels for those numbers. I propose that a KENBUS peak throughput of 2000 scripts per hour be abbreviated as "2000 KPT" and an SDET peak throughput of 2000 scripts per hour be abbreviated as "2000 SPT". Of course, one should always say somewhere that the numbers were produced by SDM version 1.0. I think that the KPT [KENBUS Peak Throughput] and SPT [SDET Peak Throughput] abbreviations will save a lot of time and space when reporting. ---Jason ----- Jason Martin Levitt email: jason@cs.utexas.edu "Since there are virtually no rules, the catalog of information includes voluminous pornography, along with advice on recreational drugs, satanism, paganism, and sex slaves." --the Houston Chronicle describing the "internet" to its readers.
