'''Transaction Processing Performance Council''' ('''TPC'''), founded in 1988, "is a non-profit organization founded [...] to define [[Transaction processing|transaction processing]] and [[Database|database]] benchmarks and to disseminate objective, verifiable TPC performance data to the industry".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shanley |first=Kim |date=February 1998 |title=Origins of the TPC and the first 10 years |url=https://www.tpc.org/information/about/history5.asp |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200328114858/https://www.tpc.org/information/about/history5.asp |archive-date=2020-03-28 |access-date=2020-03-28 |website=TPC}}</ref> TPC benchmarks are used in evaluating the performance of computer systems; the results are published on the TPC web site.

==Conference Series==
In 2009 the TPC initiated an International Technology Conference Series on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking (TPCTC). It is a leading forum for industry experts and researcher to debate and develop innovative techniques for evaluation, measurement and characterization of modern application systems. The conference series was founded by Raghunath Nambiar (Cisco) and Meikel Poess in 2009.
