Due to end-of-the-year holidays, VMware will extend the VMmark review cycle that starts Dec 10, 2024 to four weeks (instead of the usual two weeks) and will cancel the review cycle that would normally have started on Dec 24, 2024.
Here are details of these changes:
- Dec 10, 2024: Start of the last VMmark review cycle for 2024. No change from the usual schedule, but this cycle has an extended review period; results submitted for this cycle would not be published before Jan 7, 2025.
- Dec 17, 2024: Last VMmark Review Panel meeting for 2024. Although this cycle's submissions will have an extended review period, we encourage initial review comments to be completed before this meeting. (Effectively, the extended review period is intended to give submitters more time to address issues found in this cycle's results)
- Dec 24, 2024 <Cancelled>: The VMmark review cycle that would normally have started on this date will be cancelled.
- Dec 31, 2024 <Cancelled>: This VMmark Review Panel meeting will also be cancelled.
- Jan 7, 2025: Earliest publication date for benchmark submissions received for the Dec 10, 2024 review cycle
- Jan 7, 2025: Start of the first VMmark review cycle for 2025. Submissions received after the start of the Dec 10, 2024 review cycle will begin their review cycle on Jan 7, 2025.
