Hi all;

As I was ready to release version 4 of my iGenOLTP benchmark, I was thinking : why not making it an OpenSolaris project ?
iGenOLTP is part of the iGen family of benchmarks ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGen) and based on the java.net project SLAMD (see https://slamd2.dev.java.net/)

I started developping this OLTP benchmark a few years ago as I was (very) frustrated with TPCC.
As I recently published on my blog (http://blogs.sun.com/MrBenchmark) here is a list of the question I needed a Yes to :

"
Do you need a new OLTP benchmark ?

A benchmark that could be lightweight as well as heavyweight ?
That could be IO intensive or CPU intensive ?
That could run on any database and any operating system ?
That you could run on your laptop but also scale up to a 144 cpus Sun Fire E25k+ ?
That could run standalone, in client/server or in a 3 tier model ?
That would produce instantly color charts and comprehensive PDF or HTML reports ? "



Let me know your thoughts. This first release will include support for Oracle....but I'd like to have releases for all the database engines...
