Q14: Can I compare my SPECjbb2000 results with my TPC-C results?
A14: No, absolutely not. SPECjbb2000 is memory-resident, uses totally different data-set sizes and workload mixes, performs no I/O to disks, and has no think times. It has a different set of run and reporting rules, a different measure of throughput, and a different metric. Such comparison would be a SERIOUS violation of SPEC's run and reporting rules and of TPC's "fair use policy." Violations are subject to penalties.
