2-chip world record SPECjbb2005 Sun Blade T6340 & Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240
Thursday Oct 23, 2008
World Record multi-JVM 2-chip performance. Nice way to end my day presenting some more performance facts...
The Sun Blade T6340 server module and Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server, each with two 1.4 GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors, obtained the best multi-JVM 2 chip results on the SPECjbb2005 server-side Java benchmark.
A Sun Blade T6340 server equipped with two UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors at 1.4GHz, delivered a World Record 2-chip result of 388456 SPECjbb2005 bops, 24279 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
A Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server equipped with two UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors at 1.4GHz, delivered an outstanding 2-chip result of 384934 SPECjbb2005 bops, 24058 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
The Sun Blade T6340 (two 1.4 GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus chips) demonstrated 11% better performance over the IBM Power 550 (four 4.2 GHz POWER6 chips) result of 350642 SPECjbb2005 bops, 87661 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
The Sun Blade T6340 (two 1.4 GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus chips) demonstrated 17% better performance over the IBM x3650 result of 330605 SPECjbb2005 bops, 82651 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM which uses two 3.3 GHz Xeon chips.
The Sun Blade T6340 and Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 each used Solaris 10 10/08 and Sun JDK 1.6.0_06 Performance Release to obtain these leading results.
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).
