Abstract: Most operating systems research publications make claims about performance. We expect these performance claims to be both repeatable and relevant to important applications. We also expect them to be comparable to similar claims made in other papers. This implies the need for realistic and widely-used benchmarks. Often, however, no such benchmark exists. The problem is especially acute in application areas with significant external latencies (such as Internet servers and file systems).... (Update)
