Sun Blade T6320 World Record SPECjbb2005 performance
Significance of Results
The Sun Blade T6320 server module equipped with one UltraSPARC T2 processor running at 1.6 GHz delivered a World Record single-chip result while running the SPECjbb2005 benchmark.- The Sun Blade T6320 server module powered by one 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor delivered a result of 229576 SPECjbb2005 bops, 28697 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM when running the SPECjbb2005 benchmark.
- The Sun Blade T6320 server module (with one 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor) demonstrated 2.6X better performance than the IBM System p 570 with one 4.7 GHz POWER6 processor.
- The Sun Blade T6320 server module (with one 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor) demonstrated 3% better performance than the Fujitsu TX100 result which used one 3.16 GHz Intel Xeon X3380 processor.
- The Sun Blade T6320 server module (with one 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor) demonstrated 7% better performance than the IBM x3200 result which used one 3.16 GHz Xeon X3380 processor.
- The Sun Blade T6320 server module running the 1.6 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor delivered 20% better performance than a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 with the 1.4 GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor.
- The Sun Blade T6320 used the OpenSolaris 2009.06 operation system and the Java HotSpot(TM) 32-Bit Server, Version 1.6.0_14 Performance Release JVM to obtain this leading result.

Benchmark Description
SPECjbb2005 (Java Business Benchmark) measures the performance of a Java implemented application tier (server-side Java). The benchmark is based on the order processing in a wholesale supplier application. The performance of the user tier and the database tier are not measured in this test. The metrics given are number of SPECjbb2005 bops (Business Operations per Second) and SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM (bops per JVM instance).
Key Points and Best Practices
- Enhancements to the JVM had a major impact on performance.
- Each JVM executed in the FX scheduling class to improve performance by reducing the frequency of context switches.
- Each JVM bound to a separate processor containing 1 core to reduce memory access latency using the physical memory closest to the processor.
