A Benchmark of NonStop SQL on the Debit Credit Transaction

Summary: Benchmark of NonStop SQL on Tandem hardware with Debit Credit; linear throughput grows from 14 to 208 tps as 2→32 CPUs scale. Compared with a record-at-a-time file-system interface, SQL shows competitive efficiency for standard transactional workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
