Yet another SPEC OMP2001 World Record
Monday Jan 08, 2007
The Sun Fire X4600 M2 delivers the best performance on the SPEC OMPM2001 benchmark suite of all systems running 8-threads results. The Sun Fire X4600 M2 topped the IBM System p5 550 (2.1 GHz, 4 CPU) result by 6%. The Sun Fire X4600 M2 server in 4-socket configuration using dual-core AMD Opteron Model 8220SE processors, produced best SPECompM2001 result of 21,167. The results show that the combination of Solaris 10 using Sun Studio 11 is unmatched by the competition for assisting users in writing parallel code.
