SPARC is leading the world: World Record UltraSPARC T1 (Niagara) and UltraSPARC IV+ on SPECjAppServer. I had all of the details in yesterday's posting.
But I quickly skimmed over a couple of important details that I'll talk
a bit more about in this posting.
To keep all of the application servers fully supported one requires
a fast database server and efficient database software. For this
benchmark Sun used IBM DB2 9.1 database. In the past Sun has
set many world records with this database software on a variety of
benchmarks.
Another thing of note is that Sun only used 24 dual-core UltraSPARC IV+
chips in comparison to 32 dual-core Itanium2 chips. That means
a lot less SPARC chips than Itanium chips and Sun gives more performance.
Also note I only use chips and cores to denote the configuration. Performance
per core is very misleading in every comparison between vendors.
In the application tier sun used ten Sun Blade T6300 Server Modules
(10 US T1 chips total) to get 8% better performance than HP's 6 rx6600 servers (24 Itanium2 chips total). Sun fits 10 blades in 10RU versus HP's
42RU (6x Four dual-core Itanic2 in 7RU), Sun uses a lot less hardware and
a FOURTH less space!
See how totally misleading if we compared cores thinking
cores were equivalent. Sun has 80 cores in the appl tier in this config versus HP's
48 cores in the application tier. Price/core is very different in EVERY vendor. Performance
per core a smoke and mirrors marketing trick that should not be used
by any honorable vendor.
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).

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.

The Sun Fire E6900 has great performance on SAP SD standard SAP ERP 2005 application benchmark as of 04/02/07.
The 24-processor Sun Fire E6900 with 1.95 GHz UltraSPARC-IV+ achieved 6160 users on the
two-tier SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) standard SAP ERP 2005 application benchmark(24 processors, 48 cores, 48 threads).
- The 24-processor Sun Fire E6900 beat the 16-processor IBM p5-570 POWER5+ by 12%.
- The 24-processor Sun Fire E6900 beat the 16-processor HP Integrity Superdome Itanium2 dual-core by 10%.
- Effective 08/31/06 a new SAP R/3 version (ECC 6.0) and kernel (7.00)
is required to run the SAP-SD 2-Tier benchmark. The new version is a bit
more heavy-weight than the previous version (ECC 5.0) so older results
have a performance advantage.

Complete benchmark results may be found at the SAP benchmark website http://www.sap.com/benchmark.
SAP has specified that the Benchmark Users metric is the only metric to be used
for public comparisons.
However, Benchmark Users can be traded off with response time in performance
tuning, and so comparing Line Items per Hour or SAPS is a better way to compare
the actual power of systems.
Benchmark Description
The SAP Standard Application SD (Sales and Distribution) Benchmark is a
two-tier ERP business test that is indicative of full business workloads
of complete order processing and invoice processing, and demonstrates the
ability to run both the application and database software on a single
system. The SAP Standard Application SD Benchmark represents the critical
tasks performed in real-world ERP business environments.
SAP is one of the premier world-wide ERP application providers, and maintains
systems on the various SAP products.

Sun Fire E6900 UltraSPARC IV+ beats the IBM p5 570 POWER5+ on SPECjbb2005. Why haven't we seen any
more POWER5+ performance benchmarks on workloads like this? Might be
the weaknesses we've been talking about when looking at other benchmarks?
The Sun Fire E6900 with US-IV+ maintained price/performance leadership on the SPECjbb2005 server-side Java benchmark. The 16-way Sun Fire E6900 (32 Procs Avail to Java) with 1.8GHz US-IV+ processors outperformed the 16-way IBM P5 570 (32 Procs Avail to Java) with 2.2 GHz POWER5+ processors by 5%.

Complete benchmark results may be found at the SPEC benchmark
website http://www.spec.org.
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).

Wednesday Jan 25, 2006
The Sun Fire E6900 and Solaris10 (reminder that system has a maximum of 24 chips, get ready to see what it beats...) with 1.5GHz US-IV+ achieved World Record performance on the SPECjbb2005 server-side Java benchmark for up to 32 processor chips. Yep, Sun's 24-chip beats Fujitsu 32-chip system!
- The Sun Fire E6900 beat the recently announced result from Fujitsu for the PRIMEQUEST 480 with Itanium 2 by 6%.
- The 24-way Sun Fire E6900 with 1.5 GHz US-IV+ outperformed the 32-way Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 480 with 1.6GHz Itanium 2 by 42% on a per processor basis.
- The 24-way Sun Fire E6900 with 1.5 GHz US-IV+ outperformed the 16-way IBM System p5 570 with 1.9 GHz POWER5 by 40%.
- But why no HP results? No 32-core IBM results? No 64-core IBM results?

SPECjbb2005 Benchmark Description, in case you were wondering...
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 bops (Business Operations per Second) and bops/JVM (bops per JVM instance).
...some vendors have made a big stink about number of JVMs (then started
publishing on multiple-JVMs), if you want to really dig and see what
the issues (or non-issues) are click here.
...next week more wins
