A common suite for DSS benchmarking and comparing:
  • different software and hardware systems (such as Oracle 7 on nCUBE2 vs. DB2 on IBM SP2)
  • different software Products on the same machine (such as Oracle7 and DB2 on IBM SP2)
  • different machines in a compatible family (such as Oracle7 on IBM SP1 and SP2, or on a RS/6000)
  • different releases of a product on the same machine
