Sun Blade X6240 Top Multi-JVM Performance for 2-Socket AMD Opteron

Friday Oct 24, 2008

The Sun Blade X6240 with 2 AMD Opteron quad-core processors at 2.5 Ghz and running Sun Java SE 6 Update 6 Performance Release achieved a result of 224595 SPECjbb2005 bops, 112298 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM for all 2-socket AMD systems on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark.

The Sun Blade X6240 demonstrated better performance over the Dell M805 result of 219269 SPECjbb2005 bops, 109635 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM which used 2 Opteron quad-core processors at 2.5 GHz and the BEA JRocket JDK 1.6.0_03.

The Sun Blade X6240 used Solaris 10 10/08 and Sun JDK 1.6.0_06 Performance Release 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).
