Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. Instead, focus on understanding what the workloads exercise to help us determine how to best use them to aid our performance assessment. We applied the following settings for both benchmarks to make it easier to stress the system.

In some sense it's a confidence-management exercise. Of course, it would be better from the OS vendor's perspective if everyone simply wrote all of the software for their proprietary platform, maximising OS feature differentiation. A Web as Meta-Platform endgame requires that the platform continues to improve in expressive capacity.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. This is an uninspiring fraction of peak performance that would normally suggest significant inefficiencies in either the hardware or software.
