BM Seer Unofficial thoughts from an anonymous Sun employee

New Table of published power-performance data

Friday Jan 16, 2009

Here us an upated table of power-performance benchmarks, trying to hightlight easy to measure watts on many different standard benchmarks.

I put the number of published benchmarks that show watt-performance for Sun and use "0" zero for those that have ZERO information on the measured watts used during the benchmark. What is behind this stonewall of red? It is really funny that some vendors avoid showing easy-to-measure power on performance benchmarks with real configurations. Is it that they have only have a advantage on special configurations?

Note customers can get "ERP" power data from Sun under CDA/NDA agreement, as some SW vendors do not allow public display of wattage data measured during the benchmark.

Want more details on Sun's published measured watts, last week I posted "Sun's 2008 summary of measured watts & watt/performance": http://blogs.sun.com/bmseer/entry/sun_s_2008_summary_of

Some other thoughts for those really interested in saving real energy:

  • Power-management software should be on by default or NOT ALLOWED IN BENCHMARKS!
  • Increase server utilisation to most effectively reduce power consumed! Servers are very very inefficient at low-utilisation!
  • look at watt-performance NOT perf/watt when comparing servers!
  • replace incandescents with CFL lights.

Sun's datacentre high "power usage effectiveness" in California

Tuesday Jan 13, 2009

Sun's state-of-the-art datacenter in Santa Clara, California, has attracted more than 2,000 visitors from 350 customers. The big draw: power usage effectiveness, or PUE. The center delivers a PUE of 1.28. That means 78 percent of the power goes to the actual compute equipment (up from as low as 25 percent in the worst case). "That's a huge jump," says Dean Nelson. "We shed a half a megawatt of required power and we shed $400,000 a year in utilities.

mpg and perf/watt are misleading

Monday Jun 23, 2008

Last friday I blogged about an article on Duke University's Larrick & Soll's research:

Posting a vehicle’s fuel efficiency in “gallons per mile” (GPM) rather than “miles per gallon” (MPG) would help consumers make better decisions about car purchases and environmental impact, researchers from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business report in the June 20 issue of Science magazine.
The main issue is that people usually make comparisons by linear improvement in miles/gallon, but this leads most to errors. Switching to gallons/mile (and as I said for servers watt/performance) avoids these problems.

If one does the calculations correctly of course it doesn't matter, but on a quick look one can be mislead. For example, (do this quickly!) if one climbs 10 miles a hill and gets 10mpg and then coasts down the hill for 10 miles getting 100 mpg, how many mpg does one average? If you didn't come up with an answer of 18mpg (or nearly double the uphill rate), then you should consider looking at the reciprocal calculation.

If on that same hill that same car gets 1 gal/10 miles (10mpg) uphill and 0.1gal/10miles (100mpg), then it is easy to that coasting downhill can only come close doubling your fuel efficiency. Even if you doubled your fuel efficiency on the downhill section to 200mpg (0.05gal/10 miiles) you can see that your average fuel efficiency doesn't change much.

As I've said before on servers it is also critical to understand watt/performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, Sun understands this. This way you avoid benchmarks were vendors only highlight small-memory and low-GHz configurations.

Finally increase your server utilisation (even a small amount) and closely look at power-performance (watt/perf).

Eco on the desktop: Thin(Sunray) vs. Thick(big PC)

Wednesday Jun 11, 2008

Thick versus Thin Clients: Today online at 4PM(east)/1PM(pac) there will be a debate to discuss the energy use and TCO of a thin client model versus their thicker alternatives. See: http://blogs.intel.com/technology/2008/06/ecotechnology_great_debates_at.php

I'm sure the "think thin" will have followup thoughts on this afterwards at: blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin

Desktop systems have a very different usage model (for most people's work environment they are mostly IDLE or very low utilisation), so thin usually wins. Servers are a different beast and you really want to run fewer servers at high utilisation)

SPECpower_ssj too many measurements?

Monday Jun 09, 2008

A posting last week, clearly demonstrated that even small increases in utilisations provide HUGE savings".

Then I started looking at the data, it seems that one only really needs two points(!) {active-idle & 100%) to determine the watts used at any utilisation. Let's take a look at the HP DL580 SPECpower_ssj result.

I'll look at more at at other SPECpower_ssj results. But it seems that SPEC should just simply add idle watts and wattage measurements at 100% utilisation to ALL SPEC benchmarks and not redesign benchmarks to measure watts at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. In the worst case, above the linear prediction was ONLY 2% different than actual watts!

I have long said SPEC should just at watt/perf to all of their benchmarks as currently designed.

Idle servers are the devil's watt guzzlers

Wednesday Jun 04, 2008

Servers are very different than laptops, DUH! Therefore one must benchmark power in a very different way. We all know that laptops spend lots of time at low utilisation or idle (waiting for your input). Most servers should not be used at idle or anywhere near idle. Kick out any vendor that only wants to show watt savings at low utilisation, they are trying to get you to take your eye of the real truth.

In the good ol' wasteful days of yore, you could have your servers running at 20%, drive your huge SUV alone down the block to pick up buy an incandescent bulbs.

Today, you need to lower your costs and carbon footprint by turning off wasteful low-utilised servers, buying efficient servers and running them in at least an efficient part of the power curve, say 50-60% util or more.

Demand that every vendor add power measurement to every benchmark right now! I fear many are redesigning benchmarks to add power only to emphasize low utilisation. In my opinion (I speak for myself not necessarily Sun), low utilisation measurements are just smoke and mirrors and disinformation. As I pointed out last week you can save many times more watts per unit of work by just raising your utilisation a bit.

Why do I mention this which appears obvious...

This morning I had breakfast with a friend. Always enjoyable catching up with friends. He mentioned that a customer of his wanted to make buying power decisions "based on the idle watts of a server"!?! The customer was prompted to ask that by a vendor. After a realistic conversation continued the customer now feels completely mislead by the other vendor. , you lost.

Now off to a tasty lunch...

Changing your %util a tiny bit, saves lots of money & energy!

Friday May 30, 2008

The SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark goes out of its way to measure servers at low-utilisation (5 of 11 datapoints are in the wasteful active-idle to 40% range - the worst range for servers). SPECpower_ssj actually shows this. Customers needs to demand that power measured on all benchmarks, now.

Let's look at HP DL580 G5 4-socket (for SPECpower_ssj2008 HP only used the low-GHz 1.86GHz Xeon, tiny 16 GB with special DIMMs, and a hacked non-standard BIOS). Regardless it can still be used to prove my point.

Increasing utilisation even a small amount provides HUGE improvements in watts-per-unit-of-work. Increasing utilisation a tiny 10% improve your watt/work an amazing 33-163% ! If you increase utilisation more you save even more:

<
%Util ImprovementSavings in watts-per-unit-of-work
1033-163%
2045-257%
3062-353%
4084-437%
50114-511%
higher%even more!

The biggest savings occur when you stop running at low utilisation. We need to do everything we can to discourage low-utilisation!

The first column, in the table below, is the %utilisation you start at, the rows than show you the %savings if you increase your utilisation. So for example if you were at 20% utilisation (2nd row from the bottom) and increase the %utilisation to 40% (3rd column from the right) you save 140% per unit of work!

Sun's summary of measured watts & watt/performance

Friday May 16, 2008

Sun has shown watts on UltraSPARC for years!:
2008: UltraSPARC T2+
2007: UltraSPARC T2
2005: UltraSPARC T1 & T2000 blogs with power-performance

Sun is now showing measured watts with measured performance for X64 servers as well, the rumor mill inside Sun is saying we are going see a lot more soon:
2008: X64 Virtualization
2008: X64 Java

Real measured watts on a variety of workloads is critical to truly inform customers.

Comparables and IBM's blatant attempt to confuse customers with cores

Wednesday Jan 16, 2008

IBM is still actively trying to confuse customers with core count. Remember the internal structure (read "core") is NOT important. What is important is system-to-system comparison.

People buy systems, put workloads on them, and measure performance. No one cares how many widgets are inside the system! If the faster system is a lower-cost fewer chip system - all the better! This is the reason why many customers are switching from POWER6 systems to buy Sun's US T2 systems. No one cares that IBM has 4 widgets buried inside that expensive IBM box.

It is system perf, system $/perf, system watt/perf, -- it is not a system's core-count!

IBM continues to withhold actual POWER6 power measurements on actual SPEC benchmarks. It is so easy to hook up a power meter to systems under test on a benchmark. Is IBM scared of the truth?

In the mean time, Sun will continue to do good faith estimates of 32GB and 64GB POWER6 systems. Sun never uses book maximums or nameplate maximums, we make allowances (which by the way, are correct whenever we measure on competitive systems). If Sun is so wrong why doesn't IBM publish actual data?

...And please make it on Power6 systems with 32GB-64GB and 4.7GHz only, just like the systems IBM uses on performance benchmarks. Here's Sun's data compared to IBM on perf, watt/perf:

HP DL580 G5 4 QC Xeon 2.93GHz real watts and lots of 'em

Wednesday Jan 09, 2008

It is so easy to measure you wonder why some vendors hide their wattages. Sun as US T2:
2007: UltraSPARC T2
2005: UltraSPARC T1 & T2000 blogs with power-performance

The only thing I can think of is that the numbers are embarrassing in real configurations.

I a previous posting I mentioned that HP configurations used in other benchmarks have reasonable sized memory:
64GB: HP DL580 G5 (4 quad-core Xeon 2.933GHz)
64GB: HP DL585 G2 (4 dual-core Opteron 3GHz)
32GB: HP DL380 G5 (2 quad-core Xeon 2.66GHz)
32GB: HP DL380 (2 quad-core Xeon 3GHz)
32GB: HP BL685c (4 dual-core Opteron 3GHz)
32GB: HP BL460c (2 quad-core Xeon 3GHz)

Looking around at HP's own power calculators we find that an HP DL580 G5 with four QC Xeon 2.93GHz Tigerton and 64 GB memory should draw 1,072watts but how much does is actually draw? We carefully measured one in our lab running database workloads at 60-80% util at just above 800watts. Fair, NO gaming. It is so easy to do this right, try it yourself.

    Note:HP configures 1200w supplies with their 4 Xeon QC DL580 G5. Everyone knows that even with efficient power supplies you design near the rating so that you keep the costs down and keep the efficiency up. An engineer would be a bit daft to put a 1200w supply on a server they expect to draw only 300watts! :)

Memory size matters most in watts

Tuesday Jan 08, 2008

Memory size is one of the most important configuration details you need to know when comparing measured server watts. This has been true for a long time.

In 2006 I dug into the actual watts used by 2-socket Woodcrest Xeon servers.

Woodcrest:
330 watts 2-socket 8GB
430 watts 2-socket 16GB
510 watts 2-socket 32GB

Now we have even lower-watt CPUs that have a lot more power management to reduce CPU watts, which means in general that memory size will matter even more in the future.

Another fact is that all of the servers I see using virtualization are being configured with larger and larger memory (32GB to 128GB for 2-socket servers!).

This is why I'm not overly impressed with wattage measured on small-memory configurations like 8GB or 16GB.

SPECpower_ssj2008 power-benchmark needs work

Tuesday Dec 18, 2007

A new SPEC benchmark called SPECpower_ssj2008 was announced last week.. I've taken a little time to look at the new results and benchmark rules.

Quite simply, I don't know why SPEC didn't add power measurement to every benchmark. It is quite easy to add rules that puts one SUT (system under test) on a power meter and a few rules to accurately measure power. That should have been done months ago, it is so much easier than creating a new benchmark.

So why didn't SPEC do this? I have no idea. I can only guess some vendors to show off their power-management software at different utilisation levels. As we've talked about here for a very long time, running servers at low-utilisation (below 50% utilisation) is the worst way in the world to waste power... Even with the most extreme power-saving HW/SW.

With a different benchmark only for power-benchmarking it is really possible to game results. Did anyone?

  • HP submitted a SPECpower_ssj2008 on the DL 580 G5 QC Xeon. Cool now we can see what the DL580 G5 does. But HP PICKED 1.86GHz Xeon L7345 for SPECpower_ssj and a very DIFFERENT processor (2.9GHz Xeon) for performance on SPECweb2005, well at least they are not confusing things...
  • HP's DL 580 G5 SPECpower_ssj2008 documentation does NOT EVEN mention processor GHz or type! Why?
  • The only SPECpower_ssj2008 results were on 4GB, 8GB, 16GB configs. Memory is a huge power draw. So why configure such small systems for power? Why do these vendors use 32GB and 64GB configs on performance benchmarks?
  • The HP DL580 G5 used one 60GB 5400 RPM SATA drive. My laptop has better :)
  • HP's DL580 G5 Power supplies used are 2x1200 watts. The 1.86GHz Xeon DL580 G5 draws 387 watts at 100% on SPECpower_ssj2008. Since all vendors know that you use power supplies near their rating for best energy efficiency, why does HP not sell properly-size power supplies? Maybe because HP typically expects to sell configurations that are different than SPECpower_ssj2008 DL580 configs?
  • Is running at low utilisation efficient? SIMPLE answer NO! Let's look at SPECpower-ssj2008 HP DL580 G5. Comparing 70% utilisation with 20% utilisation we see that one wastes 3 TIMES more watts for the same amount of work at 20% utilization than at 70% utilization!!! 3 = round(2.93) = (294w/71409ssj_ops) / (359w/255512ssj_ops)
  • SPECpower_ssj allows default BIOS settings to be changed to make better results by turning off prefetch (also see SPECjbb & prefetch) - yeah, right, every customer does that :( get real.

So what serves the industry? Using the same configurations that you benchmark for performance and power-performance.

Sun does this and has been doing this for years:
2007: UltraSPARC T2
2005: UltraSPARC T1 & T2000 blogs with power-performance

The only thing I really can take away from SPECpower_ssj2008 is that running at low utilization is silly, read carefully, and avoid silly configurations.

Big Memory used on benchmarks (Xeon, Opteron, IBM Power)

Friday Sep 28, 2007

Large memory is used on many of the standard benchmarks on systems using Xeon, Opteron, and IBM Power. Actually this is fine, Sun systems can and do use large memory as well.

However, given the fact that memory can draw much more power than CPUs and that every system implementation is different (memory types: DDR2, FB-Dimms, very different ASICs) we really need power to be measured at these memory configurations. I have seen to many wattages only specifying TDP of a single processor, and far too many system wattage claims based on 2GB or 4GB of low-speed memory. We need the vendors to specify measured system wattages on configurations that they benchmark.

Price. Another common thing done by many vendors is to show the online prices for slow GHz and small memory configurations as their starting price. If you look at getting the latest GHz CPU and memory sizes like listed below, I've seen prices explode to 4 times to 10 times more than their starting price! Dear.

This suggests we should really list systems by memory size first and then processor count. Processor count is mattering less than memory size for watts & price.
