To test and evaluate a heterogeneous stream-processing system consisting of an FPGA-based system-on-chip and a host, we develop a benchmark called SKYSHARK. It uses real-world data from air-traffic control that is publicly available. These data are enhanced for the purpose of the benchmark without changing their characteristics. They are further enriched with aircraft and airport data. We define 14 queries with respect to the particular requirements of our system. They should be useful for other hardware-accelerated platforms as well. A first evaluation has been done using Apache Flink. We envision a great potential because of the flexibility of the approach.
