The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), founded in 1988, is a non-profit organization founded to define benchmarks for transaction processing and databases, and to publish objective, verifiable TPC performance data to the industry.^[1] TPC benchmarks are used in evaluating the performance of computer systems, and TPC publishes the results.

Conference Series

In 2009 the TPC initiated an International Technology Conference Series on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking (TPCTC), a forum for industry experts and researchers to discuss and develop techniques for evaluation, measurement and characterization of modern application systems. The conference series was founded in 2009 by Raghunath Nambiar of Cisco and Meikel Poess in 2009.
