Wednesday Jul 16, 2008
The Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 server using the new SPARC64 VII 2.52 GHz processor delivered a SPECompM2001 result of 104,714.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 server (2.52GHz SPARC64 VII processors) beat the best posted IBM p570 result(4.7GHz Power6) by 11% on the SPECompM2001 benchmark.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 server (2.52GHz SPARC64 VII processors) delivered a SPECompL2001 result of 581,807, the fastest result using 16 chips or less.
The new 2.52GHz SPARC64 VII processors delivered 58% more performance for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 when compared to the SPARC64 VI 2.28GHz processors as measured by the SPECompM2001 benchmark.
Benchmark Description
The SPEC OMPM2001 Benchmark Suite was released in June 2001 and tests HPC performance using OpenMP for parallelism.
- 11 programs (3 in C and 8 in Fortran) parallelized using OpenMP API
- Targeted to mid-range (4-32 processor) parallel systems
- Run rules, tools and reporting similar to SPEC CPU2000
- Programs representative of HPC and Scientific Applications
