Abstract
Database benchmarking is an essential method for evaluating and comparing the performance characteristics of a database management system (DBMS). It helps researchers and developers to evaluate the efficacy of their optimizations or newly developed DBMS solutions. Also, companies can benefit by analyzing the performance of DBMS under specific workloads and leveraging the result to select the most suitable system for their needs. The proper interpretation of raw benchmark results requires effective visualization, which helps users gain meaningful insights. However, visualization of the results requires prior knowledge, and existing approaches often involve time-consuming manual tasks. This is due to the absence of a unified visual analytics system for benchmark results across diverse DBMSs. To address these challenges, we present DBenVis, an interactive visual analytics system that…
