BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: UCB//S2K-92-12 ENTRY:: February 18, 1994 TITLE:: The Sequoia 2000 Storage Benchmark DATE:: AUTHOR:: Stonebraker, Michael AUTHOR:: Frew, James AUTHOR:: Gardels, Kenn AUTHOR:: Meredith, Jeff PAGES:: 14 ABSTRACT:: This paper presents a benchmark that concisely captures the data base requirements of a collection of Earth Scientists working in the SEQUOIA 2000 project on various aspects of global change research. This benchmark has the novel characteristic that it uses real data sets and real queries that are representative of engineering and scientific DBMS users, we claim that this bench- mark represents the needs of this more general community. Also included in the paper are benchmark results for four example DBMSs, ARC-INFo, GRASS, IPW and POSTGRES. RETRIEVAL:: postscript (in all.ps) END:: UCB//S2K-92-12
