That number should be "The total 3-year price of the entire Priced Configuration must be reported, including: hardware, software, and maintenance charges", so they just took the cost of the hardware used for benchmark, and extended it to 3 years.
If you look into the blog post: https://www.databricks.com/blog/2021/11/02/databricks-sets-official-data-warehousing-performance-record.html https://www.databricks.com/blog/2021/11/02/databricks-sets-o..., you will see that it costed $242
- oxfordmale 4y agoYes the final run, establishing the record, costed $242. I would love to know what the total compute costs for this project was. In real world situations, you run this query daily, or at least multiple times to fine tune it. The point still stands that I can't afford to run on this type of hardware, as it is too expensive, nor do I have such heavy workloads, so these results are not relevant.
- alexott 4y agoyes, but it's a best thing of the cloud - your cluster doesn't run when you don't need it, plus you can advantages of spot instances, autoscaling, etc.. And you won't do TPC test each every half an hour.
