Solaris 10 Operating System and Sun Java Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 Set Multiple World Records on Server-Side Java Benchmark Across Sun Fire Product LineMay 18, 2006; 05:06 AM
The Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers equipped with the single UltraSPARC T1 processor and Solaris 10 OS out-performed a range of Intel Xeon-based 2-4 way servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 OS, and IBM 2-4 way POWER5 and POWER5+ based servers running AIX, all while consuming less power, resulting in over five times better performance per watt, and using up to one fourth the space -- critical factors affecting data center efficiency, capacity, and costs. These latest benchmark tests showed:
Sun's CoolTheads servers also deliver compelling price / performance: the Sun Fire T1000 server starts at just $2,995 and the Sun Fire T2000 Server at $7,795(4) In addition, the Sun Fire X4100 and X4200 servers, which are powered by the fastest single-core AMD Opteron Model 256 processors, set two new World Records on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark, highlighting the performance of the Java Platform, Standard Edition 5.0_08 . The benchmark stresses overall JVM performance, producing two equally important metrics -- total system throughput (SPECjbb2005 bops) and JVM scalability (SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM). The Sun Fire X4000 family of servers running the Solaris 10 OS showed record performance for 2-socket, 2-way systems:(5)
These results show up to 17% better throughput and up to 6% better scalability than the previous best scores in these categories(6), as well as showcase the ability of Java HotSpot Server Virtual Machine to deliver outstanding results and optimized performance regardless of the underlying system architecture. The SPECjbb Benchmark SPECjbb2005 (Java Business Benchmark) measures the performance of a Java implemented application tier (server-side Java) based on the order processing in a wholesale supplier application. It also measures the performance of CPUs, caches, memory hierarchy and the scalability of shared memory processors (SMPs). The metrics given are number of SPECjbb2005 bops (Business Operations per Second) and SPECjbb2005 bops/Java Virtual Machine .
