Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding benchmarks that I hope
someone can answer.
1. In Digital Review's DRlabs on workstations they are using the
geometric mean of the results obtained on the x11perf benchmark.
Is there a obvious reason why the geometric mean would or should
be used on the x11perf (operations/sec) results as opposed to the
arithmetric mean?
2. I need information on the transaction processing benchmarks, TPC
B and TPC C. Who audits the benchmarks, are the results published, and
are there any limitations (general) to these benchmarks that I should
watch out for?
Please email answers, thanks.
