Submission Checklist

There are two classes of benchmark specifications, enterprise class and express class benchmarks. Enterprise class benchmarks (TPC-E, TPC-C, TPC-H, TPC-DS, TPC-DI) must be audited by an independent auditor. Express class benchmarks (TCPx-AI, TPCx-BB, TPCx-HS, TPCx-IoT, TPCx-V and TPCx-HCI) may be audited by an auditor or by a pre-publication board consisting of TPC members.

Filing fees for express class benchmarks are required to be paid before the pre-publication board starts its audit process.

1. If you choose to have your benchmark publication audited by an auditor it is your responsibility to contact an auditor of your choice prior to conducting any performance runs. For a list of auditors please see https://www.tpc.org/information/who/whoweare5.asp.

2. Complete the performance run according to the benchmark specification for which you wish to publish a result.

3. Follow the steps in the benchmark specification to create the Full Disclosure Report (FDR), Executive Summary (ES) and complementary files.

4. If your result is audited by an auditor, after you obtain the attestation letter from your auditor submit all files to the TPC administrator (info06@tpc.org)

5. If your result is to be audited by a pre-publication board, submit all files to the TPC administrator (info06@tpc.org)

6. Pay the filing fee upon receipt of the invoice:

	Enterprise	Express
Members	$1250	$500
Non-Members	$2500	$750

7. Upon receipt of the filing fee:

7.1 For enterprise class benchmarks the TPC administrator will post your result on the TPC website after which you can publicly talk about the result.

7.2 For express class benchmarks the pre-publication board will start working with you on approving your result. It may require you to make modifications to the files you submitted. Once the pre-publication board approves your result the TPC administrator will post it on the TPC website, after which you can publicly talk about the result.
