BG benchmark
BG is a benchmark to evaluate performance of a data store for interactive social networking actions and sessions.These actions and sessions either read or update a very small amount of the entire data set.
One may use BG to compute either a Social Action Rating (SoAR) or a Socialites rating of a data store.These ratings compute the number of concurrent actions performed by a system when a fixed percentage of requests (say 95%) observe a latency equal to or lower than a pre-specifid threshold (say 100 msec) with the amount of unpredictable data less than a fixed threshold (say 0.01%) for some fixed duration of time (say 10 minutes). The values in the parantheses are inputs to BG. BG’s output is the SoAR and Socialites rating of its target data store.
