Gilding the lily - T2000 & Java just keeps getting better
Monday May 15, 2006
Sun has improved the results on the Sun Fire T2000 and Sun Fire T1000 on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark! This benchmark uses Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition 5.0_08 with Java HotSpot (TM) Virtual Machine technology. The open-source Ultra SPARC T1 processor is 17% over previous result.
- The Sun Fire T2000 set a new World Record on SPECjbb2005 for servers in 2U Footprint by delivering 74,365 SPECjbb2005 bops.
- The Sun Fire T2000 server beats IBM's 4-way, 4 core p5 550 server (1.9GHz Power5+) by 1.2X, while consuming 2.6X less power in half the space and delivering over 3X higher performance per watt. note: didn't some IBM employee tell us to watch out because IBM was going to shame Sun's result 5 months ago, ...still waiting
- The Sun Fire T2000 beats IBM's 4-way x346 server configured with 2 x 2.8GHz Intel Xeon dual core processors by nearly 2X, while consuming nearly 1.5X less power and delivering 3X higher performance per watt
- The Sun Fire T2000 server beats IBM's new 4-way, 4 core p5 510Q server (1.5GHz Power5+) by 1.4X, while consuming 1.5X less power and delivering 2X better performance per watt.
- Based on the SWaP metric, the Sun Fire T2000 delivers nearly 3X higher efficiency than the IBM x346 and over 6X higher server efficiency than the IBM p550. More on SWaP (Space, Watts and Performance) metric.
...and now it's the Sun Fire T1000's turn...
- A Sun Fire T1000 Server set a new World Record by delivering 60,323 SPECjbb2005 bops for the SPECjbb2005 Benchmark, beating all other 1U and 1 CPU servers.
- The Sun Fire T1000 server beats IBM's 2-way, 4 core x346 server configured with 2.8GHz Intel Xeon dual core processors by 1.5X, while consuming nearly 2.5X less power in 50% of the space and delivering over 3.5X higher performance per watt.
- The Sun Fire T1000 server beats IBM's 2-way, 2 core p520 server configured with 1.9GHz Power 5+ processors by 1.8x, while consuming over 2X less power in 4X less space and delivering over 4X better performance per watt.
- The Sun Fire T1000 server beats Dell's 2-way PowerEdge SC1425 server configured with 2 x 3.6GHz Intel Xeon processor by 2.5X in performance, while consuming 2X less power and delivering over 5X better performance per watt.
- Based on the SWaP metric, the Sun Fire T1000 delivers 17X higher server efficiency than the IBM p520 and over 7X higher efficiency than the IBM x346. More on SWaP (Space, Watts and Performance) metric.
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 (SPECjbb2005 bops per JVM instance).
