An updated version of the TPoX benchmark kit (TPoX 2.0) was released on July 31st, 2009. The enhancements include easier and faster data generation for TB-scale databases.

In August 2009 IBM has published TPoX 2.0 benchmark results. A full report is available on this page:
http://tpox.sourceforge.net/tpoxresults.htm

TPoX 1.3 is being released to include new source files that were contributed
to the open source project by the University of Furtwangen to enable TPoX
for Oracle and MS SQL Server. See the release notes for further details.

Intel has been running the TPoX benchmark with a raw data volume of 1 TeraByte. The hardware system was powered by their latest 6-core CPUs (Xeon 7400 series). To the best of our knowledge, this is the industry's first public report of a 1TB XML database benchmark.
