TPCTC 2013 - TPCTC 2013, TPC Technology Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking

The TPC has played, and continues to play, a crucial role in providing the computer industry with relevant industry-standard benchmarks. Vendors and endusers rely on TPC benchmarks to provide real-world data that is backed by a stringent and independent review process. Vendors also use TPC benchmarks to demonstrate performance competitiveness for their existing products, and to improve/monitor the performance of products-under-development. Many buyers often use TPC benchmark results as points of comparison when purchasing new computing systems. The technology landscape is continually evolving and challenging industry experts and researchers to develop innovative techniques to evaluate and benchmark computing systems. The TPC remains committed to developing highly relevant benchmark standards and will continue to develop new benchmarks to keep pace. With this conference, the TPC encourages researchers and industry experts to submit novel ideas and methodologies in performance evaluation, measurement, and characterization. Selected papers may be considered for future TPC benchmark developments. Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
