PERFORMANCE METRICS for RS/6000 SYSTEMS
Section One covers SPEC and LINPACK results for most RS/6000 models and is relative to performance of a single processor for each system.
Section Two contains the Commercial performance metrics for most RS/6000 Server systems; in the case of Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) systems, performance metrics are shown for the various processor configurations.
All performance measurements were made with systems running the AIX operating system. Systems are typically tested with the most recent version of AIX which was available at the time the test was performed. Practically all systems shown in these tables were tested with some release of AIX Version 4.
TPM estimates may be used for comparison and positioning with other systems. However care must be taken in how they are referenced in any documents, presentations or other materials. References and associations with the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) are prohibited by TPC. The notation, tpm, must always be used with these estimates. An alternative comparison of performance in a commercial environment is now being used by IBM and is indicated as Relative OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing) Performance. The performance is compared to that of a model 25S/250 performance for this workload.
Note that these performance measurements were all made with systems running the AIX operating system. Performance measurements are not yet available for systems running the Solaris or Windows NT operating systems.

NOTES ON PERFORMANCE VALUES
[top of page]The performance benchmarks and the values shown here were derived using particular, well configured, development-level computer systems. Unless otherwise indicated for a system, the values were derived using 32-bit applications and external cache if external cache is supported on the system. All performance benchmark values are provided "as is" and no warranties or guarantees are stated or implied by IBM. Actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application-oriented testing. For additional information about the performance benchmarks, values, and systems tested, please contact your local IBM Branch Office or IBM Authorized Reseller or access the following on the Web:

http://www.netlib.no/netlib/benchmark/performance.psUnless otherwise indicated for a system, the performance benchmarks were conducted using AIX V4.2 or V4.3. IBM C for AIX V3.6.4.0 and XL Fortran V6.1.0.0 were the compilers used in the benchmark tests. The preprocessors used in the benchmark tests include KAP 3.2 for Fortran and KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 V4.01X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors.
SPECint95
: SPEC component-level benchmark that measures integer performance. Result is the geometric mean of eight tests that comprise the CINT95 benchmark suite. All of these are written in C language. SPECint_base95 is the result of the same tests in CINT95 with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all eight tests. (Units are relative to SPARCstation 10, which has value of 1.0.)SPECint_rate95
: Geometric average of the eight SPEC rates from the SPEC integer tests (CINT95). SPECint_base_rate95 is result of the same tests as CINT95 with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all eight tests.SPECfp95
: New SPEC component-level benchmark that measures floating point performance. Result is the geometric mean of ten tests, all written in FORTRAN, that are included in the CFP95 benchmark suite. SPECfp_base95 is the result of the same test in CFP95 with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all ten tests.(Units are relative to SPARCstation 10, which has value of 1.0.)SPECfp_rate95
: Geometric average of the ten SPEC rates from SPEC floating-point tests (CFP95). SPECfp_base_rate95 is the result of the same tests as CFP95 with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all ten tests.LINPACK DP
: Double precision, n=100 results with AIX XL FORTRAN compiler, with optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS).LINPACK SP
: Single Precision, n=100 results with AIX XL FORTRAN compiler, with optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS).LINPACK TPP
: Toward Peak Performance (TPP), n=1,000 results with AIX XL FORTRAN compiler, with optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS).SPECweb96
is the maximum number of HTTP operations per second achieved on the SPECweb96 benchmark without significant degradation of response time. The web server software is IBM HTTP Server 1.3.4 or Zeus V1.1 from Zeus Technology Ltd.Rel. OLTP Per
f - Relative OLTP performance is an estimate of commercial throughput using an IBM analytical model. This model simulates some of the system's operations of the CPU, caches, and memory in an OLTP environment but does not simulate the disk or network I/O operations. Although general database and operating systems parameters are used, the model does not represent specific databases or AIX versions. With these limitations, ROP may be used to compare RS/6000 performance. The model 250 is the reference system and has a value of 1.0.The following Transaction Processing Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory subsystem, disk subsystem, and some portions of the network:
"tpmC"
- TPC Benchmark C throughput measured as the average number of transactions processed per minute during a valid TPC-C configuration run of at least twenty minutes.$/tpmC
is TPC Benchmark C price-performance ratio where the estimated 5-year total cost of ownership for system hardware, software, and maintenance is divided by the throughput, tpmC.

Notes on Performance Estimates
:Relative OLTP (ROLTP) is an estimate of commercial performance derived from an IBM analytical model. The model simulates some of the system's operations such as CPU, cache, and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. Although the model uses general database and operating system parameters, the model does not reflect specific databases or AIX versions or releases. Unless otherwise indicated for a system, the model assumes the use of 32-bit applications. Unless otherwise indicated for a system, ROLTP is estimated only at the time the system is introduced. An IBM RS/6000 Model 250 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. Although ROLTP may be used to compare estimated RS/6000 commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. All performance benchmark values are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are stated or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying.
