BenchPress: Dynamic Workload Control in the OLTP-Bench Testbed
Summary: BenchPress adds dynamic workload control to OLTP-Bench, enabling request-rate shaping and live transaction-mix changes to recreate loads. Supports multi-DBMS benchmarking with configurable targets, enabling research on execution patterns and multi-tenancy. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
