High Level Look at TPC-W (Cont’d)
TPC-W benchmark’s primary performance measurement will be expressed in Web Interactions Per Second (WIPS).
- Web Interactions definition: is the interaction from the point the web server receives input from the user to the point the web server provides correct response ( no network connectivity time is measured).
TPC-W benchmark’s other primary metric will be a price/performance number, which is the total cost of the hardware/software/maintenance to produce a given WIPS rating. This is derived as follows:
- Cost of hardware+software+maintenance/WIPS rating=price/performance
