Introduction
-----------------------

BenchCouncil Transactions on Benchmarks, Standards and Evaluations (TBench) is an open-access multi-disciplinary journal dedicated to benchmarks, standards, evaluations, optimizations, and data sets. TBench seeks a fast-track publication with an average turnaround time of one month. This journal is a peer-reviewed, subsidized open access journal where The International Open Benchmark Council pays the OA fee. Authors do not have to pay any open access publication fee. However, at least one of the authors need to register BenchCouncil International Symposium on Benchmarking, Measuring and Optimizing (Bench, https://www.benchcouncil.org/bench/ ) and present their work.
