The comment you replied to just said Oracle allows running benchmarks internally, though.
- lmm 4y agoSure. How likely is it that someone running bechmarks internally - who is unlikely to be a benchmarking expert - is going to do a better job than a dedicated benchmarking project like TechEmpower that has a whole lot of people looking and contributing?
- yawaramin 4y agoTechEmpower accepts a wide variety of contributions without much vetting. It allows quite a lot of benchmark gaming. The mantra of every good engineer about benchmarks is, 'Don't trust others' benchmarks, do your own with realistic workloads'.
