Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A benchmark is a common term used to describe a representative workload processed on a vendor's proposed system configuration to obtain comparative throughput measures. The purpose of the benchmark is to evaluate the system's ability to perform a particular task or set of tasks and to identify any performance issues that may need to be addressed. RFP tests, time trials, and systems analysis tests may be components of the benchmarking process, but the term benchmark is more commonly used to refer to the overall process.
