How do I interpret a VMmark v2 score?
VMmark 2.0 aggregates the throughput metrics of all application and infrastructure workloads to create a single overall benchmark score that can be used to quickly compare different platform configurations. Every workload must also pass its minimum quality-of-service requirements for the benchmark result to be considered compliant. After a valid run, the metrics of the application workloads within each tile are computed and aggregated into a score for that tile. This aggregation is performed by first normalizing the different performance metrics (such as Actions/minute and operations/minute) with respect to a reference platform. Then a geometric mean of the normalized scores is computed as the final score for the tile. The resulting per-tile scores are then summed to create the application-workload portion of the final metric. The metrics for the infrastructure workloads are aggregated separately using the same mathematical technique of normalization with respect to a reference platfor
