World Record UltraSPARC T1 SPECjAppServer2004 Sun Blade 6000 & Sun Fire E6900
Thursday Jul 19, 2007
World Record UltraSPARC T1 SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark. The Sun Blade 6000 systems extremely flexible you can have SPARC, AMD Opteron, and Intel Xeon processor-based server modules, as well as the Solaris, Linux, and Windows operating systems. Wow!
Ten Sun Blade T6300 Server Modules delivered a World Record result of 8253.21 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard, this result use (1x UltraSPARC T1 1.4GHz) and connected to a Sun Fire E6900 Database System (24x UltraSPARC IV+ 1.95 GHz).
The ten Sun Blade T6300 Server Modules (10 US T1 chips total) demonstrated 8% better performance over the best HP result of 7629.45 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard which used 6 rx6600 servers (24 Itanium2 chips total).
Sun's benchmark used IBM DB2 9.1 on the Sun Fire E6900 equipped with 1.95GHz UltraSPARC IV+ to deliver this world record result. By comparison the HP result used 32 dual-core 1.6GHz Itanium2 Superdome.
There are no IBM POWER6 results on the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark.
This result shows the Sun Blade 6000 Modular Server (10 US T1 chips total) with 89% better performance over the IBM result of 4368.02 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard using 20 IBM XSeries BladeCenter HS20 blades (40 Xeon chips total) for the application servers and eServer p5 570 for the database.
Sun's benchmark result demonstrates that the Sun Blade T6300 and Sun Fire E6900 running the Solaris 10 Operating system can support 50,000 concurrent users accessing J2EE applications.
Sun's result highlights the performance benefits of the latest BEA Weblogic Server release 10.0 on Sun Blade T6300 Server Modules.
The Sun Fire T6300 result is also an example of J2EE Server Consolidation. The result was obtained using 2 BEA Weblogic application server instances per blade, with each instance running in a separate Solaris Container.

Benchmark Description
SPECjAppServer2004 (Java Application Server) is a multi-tier benchmark for measuring the performance of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology-based application servers. SPECjAppServer2004 is an end-to-end application which exercises all major J2EE technologies implemented by compliant application servers as follows:
- The web container, including servlets and JSPs
- The EJB container
- EJB2.0 Container Managed Persistence
- JMS and Message Driven Beans
- Transaction management
- Database connectivity
The primary metric of the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark is jAppServer Operations Per Second (JOPS) which is calculated by adding the metrics of the Dealership Management Application in the Dealer Domain and the Manufacturing Application in the Manufacturing Domain. There is NO price/performance metric in this benchmark.
