TPC (Transaction Processing Performance Council)

The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is an organization that develops standardized tests and benchmarks to measure the performance of computer systems, particularly those used for processing transactions like sales, banking, or data management. By providing these benchmarks, TPC allows businesses and consumers to compare the speed, efficiency, and reliability of different hardware and software solutions objectively. This helps in making informed decisions about technology investments and ensures that vendors meet certain performance and transparency standards.
