The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is a non-profit organization that establishes transaction processing and database benchmarks. It verifies existing benchmarks, creates new benchmarks through a review process, and resolves disputes over benchmark results. Membership in TPC allows organizations to influence benchmark direction, vote on issues, and ensure benchmarks are updated appropriately. TPC benchmarks have been established since the 1980s and are open for any organization to implement, though benchmark results must be thoroughly documented and audited to ensure accurate and fair testing.

Anyone Can Run A TPC Benchmark
The TPC, at no charge, distributes its benchmark
specifications to the public. Anyone is free to
implement and publicize a TPC result. However, it
should be noted that the TPC benchmark
specifications and policies require the submittal of
complete documentation on these tests, which are
then reviewed by the TPC Council. If a vendor's TPC
benchmark test is determined to be executed
improperly or unfairly, a vendor will have to withdraw
the result and can no longer use that result publicly.
These rules protect users from misleading or false
performance claims and preserves the credibility of
TPC benchmark results.
