Monday Oct 13, 2008
...I'll end my day with info on an HPC benchmark...
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server delivers the best performance on the SPEC OMPL2001 benchmark for four chips. These results were run on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server using the UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor running at 1.4 GHz.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 system with 1.4GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors delivered a SPECompL2001 result of 235655, the fastest result using 4 chips or less.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 system equiped with 1.4GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors delivered more than 1.6X the performance of a 4 socket 2.5GHz AMD Opteron 8360 based system as shown by SPECompL2001 benchmark results.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 system equiped with 1.4GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors delivered more than 2.9X the performance of a 4 socket 2.93GHz Intel Xeon X7350 based system as shown by SPECompL2001 benchmark results.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 system with four 1.4GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors with 128GB of memory delivered a result of 228198 SPECompLpeak2001 and 203416 SPECompLbase2001.
