Abstract
What makes a good benchmark? This is a question that has been asked often, answered often, altered often. In the past 25 years, the information processing industry has seen the creation of dozens of “industry standard” performance benchmarks – some highly successful, some less so. This paper will explore the overall requirements of a good benchmark, using existing industry standards as examples along the way.
