What is TORPEDO?
TORPEDO is a Testbed of Object Relational Products for Enterprise Distributed Objects. It is designed to reveal the sophistication of O-R mapping software. TORPEDO defines a set of realistic application level operations that detect a significant set of database access optimizations. TORPEDO supports two standard Java APIs for O-R mapping, namely, Container Managed Persistence (CMP 2.x) and Java Data Objects (JDO). TORPEDO also supports the Hibernate API. There are dozens of commercial and open-source O-R mapping products supporting these APIs. Results from running TORPEDO on different O-R mapping systems are comparable.
