TPCC - for the record it's Tandem (was Sybase 11 TPCC)

The top PERFORMANCE records on TPC-C are held by Tandem computers K10000 series systems running NonStop SQL. (actually Tandem holds the top two spots) This has been true for over 18 months!! - Still unbeaten The PRICE/performance record for TPC-C has changed many times during that period and been held by many different databases and systems. See http://www.tpc.org/ for the complete TPCC results and http://www.tandem.com/INFOCTR/PDF/BROCHURE/TPCCBNBR.pdf for the Tandem write up and details. Yes I am biased - I work for Tandem. By the way - the Tandem numbers were run on the K10000 system. The K200, K2000 and K20000 systems introduced in Jan '95 have better performance and better price/performance (The entry level K204 looks reasonably price competitive in the sub 1,0000 tpm section of the TPC results) Alan Goodman goodman_alan@tandem.com discussion welcomed-flames deleted >travis@richmond.infi.net (Glenn Travis) posted with deletions: > > Sybase Leapfrogs Competition; Achieves 'Best On Platform' With SQL Server11 > > Source: PR Newswire > > EMERYVILLE, Calif., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ via NewsPage -- Sybase, Inc. > (Nasdaq: SYBS), The Enterprise Client/Server Company(TM), today announced > that Sybase(R) SQL Server(TM) 11 achieved the industry's best TPC-C > benchmark results ever recorded on the 300 megahertz Digital AlphaServer > 8400. So Sybase does NOT hold the TPCC performance record only the record for TPCC results "on an AlphaServer"
