A Dependability Benchmark for OLTP Application Environments

Summary: Proposes a dependability benchmark for OLTP environments, grounded in the TPC-C workload, detailing metrics, steps, and evaluation of availability alongside performance. Demonstrates a concrete comparison across transactional configurations and discusses the practical effort to run the benchmark. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
