Computational Intensive Workload
Encyclopedia
IBM has developed benchmarks
to compare the performance of their various iSeries
server offerings. Computational Intensive Workload (CIW) measures performance in a situation where there is a high ratio of computation to Input/Output communication. The reverse situation is simulated by the Commercial Processing Workload (CPW).
The CPW is a simplified variant of the industry-wide TPC-C benchmarking standard.
Benchmark (computing)
In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it...
