Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking: Traditional to Big Data to Internet of Things

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th TPC Technology Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking, TPSTC 2015, held in conjunction with the 40th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2015) in Kohala Coast, Hawaii, USA, in August/September 2015.

The 8 papers presented together with 1 keynote, and 1 vision paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. Many buyers use TPC benchmark results as points of comparison when purchasing new computing systems. The information technology landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, challenging industry experts and researchers to develop innovative techniques for evaluation, measurement and characterization of complex systems. The TPC remains committed to developing new benchmark standards to keep pace, and one vehicle for achieving this objective is the sponsorship of the Technology Conference on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking (TPCTC).
