Hi all, The SimFlex Project has released a toolkit to aid the research community in running the TPC-H benchmark on the IBM DB2 database management system. The TPC-H benchmark was created by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) to allow database vendors and researchers to evaluate the performance of database systems on business-oriented ad-hoc decision support queries. Our toolkit provides an implementation of the TPC-H benchmark tuned for IBM DB2, along with scripts to automate the setup and execution of the benchmark. To our knowledge, this is the first open source implementation of a TPC benchmark for any popular commercial database management system.
The SimFlex TPC-H Toolkit for IBM DB2 is the first in a series of toolkits the SimFlex project is creating to promote wider use of the TPC's benchmarks by academic researchers. We expect to release additional toolkits with support for more benchmarks (including TPC-C) and database management systems in the future. The SimFlex TPC-H Toolkit for IBM DB2 is available at http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~simflex. Additional information on the TPC benchmarks is available at http://www.tpc.org. Please send questions and support requests to the SimFlex mailing list, [email protected].
