Minutes of the Benchmarking Working Group (BMWG)

The Benchmarking Methodology Working Group met on Monday, July 13th.

Two proposed additional performance tests were discussed.  The Group
concluded that one of the proposals should not be adopted.  The second
proposal, to add an application level performance test, should be
discussed with the test equipment vendors to see if they would be
willing to implement such tests.

The latest draft was discussed and a few editorial changes were
suggested.

It was strongly urged that some additions be made to the draft to add
the rational behind the various tests and procedures.
