Sun Java and the Sun Fire E25K Raise the Bar on SPECjbb2005
The Sun Fire 25K and Sun J2SE 5.0_08 team up to demonstrate leadership on large servers running SPECjbb2005, increasing performance by 19.1% over our previous submission on the same hardware. Not bad for 6 months of performance work! The 72-way Sun Fire 25K score is 1,387,437 SPECjbb2005 bops, 19,270 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM. That is 11% faster than the 128-way Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 2500 and many times faster than IBM's fastest SPECjbb2005 result to date. The BMSeer once again beats me the punch talking about SPECjbb2005 results, he/she (who is BMSeer anyway?) has a great piece talking about this result. Required Disclosure Statement SPECjbb2005 Sun Fire E25K (72-way, 72 chips, 144 cores) 1,387,437 SPECjbb2005 bops, 19,270 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM, Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 2500 (128 chips, 128 cores) 1,251,024 SPECjbb2005 bops, 39,095 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM, IBM eServer p5 570 (8 chips, 16 cores, 16-way) 244,361 SPECjbb2005 bops, 30,545 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM. SPEC, SPECjbb reg tm of Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. Results as of 06/19/06 on www.spec.org.

The 128-way SGI machine (http://www.spec.org/jbb2005/results/res2006q2/jbb2005-20060327-00097.html) running Jrockit is still 32% faster with even less cores than the 72-way Sun Fire 25K...

Are you really going to make me comment on SGI? I'll try to take the high road here. Yes, the SGI Itanium systems are fast running SPECjbb2005, but I've limited my comparisons to viable and targetted competition.
