As XML becomes the standard for electronic data interchange, benchmarks are needed to provide the comparative performance analysis of XML management systems (XMLMS). Typically a benchmark should adhere to four criteria: relevance, portability, scalability and simplicity [1]. The data structure of a benchmark for XML must be complex enough to capture the characteristics of XML data representatio...

We present the results of a benchmark study for a convection-driven magnetohydrodynamic dynamo problem in a rotating spherical shell. The solutions are stationary aside from azimuthal drift. One case of non-magnetic convection and two dynamos that differ in the assumptions concerning the inner core are studied. Six groups contributed numerical solutions which show good agreement. This provides ...

We study decision making in complex discrete-time dynamic environments where Bayesian optimization is intractable. A decision maker is equipped with a finite set of benchmark strategies. She aims to perform similarly to or better than each of these benchmarks. Furthermore, she cannot commit to any decision rule, hence she must satisfy this goal at all times and after every history. We find such...

The traditional performance measurement for computers on scienti c application has been the Linpack benchmark [2], which evaluates the e ciency with which a machine can solve a dense system of equations. Since this operation allows for considerable reuse of data, it is possible to show performance gures a sizeable percentage of peak performance, even for machines with a severe unbalance between...

The analysis of natural scenes is an important research area. Scene analysis research provides the foundation for the development of autonomous systems whose vision sensors provide important information about the surrounding environment. In this paper we introduce the MINERVA scene analysis benchmark to the vision community and provide preliminary results on this data. The scene analysis benchm...

The field of Big Data and related technologies is rapidly evolving. Consequently, many benchmarks are emerging, driven by academia and industry alike. As these benchmarks are emphasizing different aspects of Big Data and, in many cases, covering different technical platforms and uses cases, it is extremely difficult to keep up with the pace of benchmark creation. Also with the combinations of l...

Performance is a major issue in the acceptance of object-oriented and extended relational database systems aimed at engineering applications such as Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Because traditional database system benchmarks (Bitton, DeWitt, & Turbyfill [BITT84], Anon et. al. [ANON85], TPC [TPC89]) do not measure the performance of features essenti...
