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)
