ndashSPECjAppServer200X (where X is 1 or 2) - Measures the performance of Java Enterprise Application Servers using a subset of J2EE APIs in a complete end-to-end Web application
The Linpack benchmark measures floating-point performance of a systemndashLinpack DP (Double Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in megaflops (MFLOPS) ndashLinpack SP (Single Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack TPP (Toward Peak Performance) - n=1000 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack HPC (Highly Parallel Computing) - solves the largest system of linear equations possible The results are measured in GFLOPS
STREAM is a simple synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MBs) and the corresponding computation rate for simple vector kernels Both standard and tuned results may be reported httpwwwccvirginiaedustream
VolanoMark is a 100 pure Java server benchmark that creates long-lasting network client connections in groups of 20 and measures how long it takes for the clients to take turns broadcasting their messages to the group The benchmark reports a score as the average number of messages transferred by the server per second
ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

STREAM is a simple synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MBs) and the corresponding computation rate for simple vector kernels Both standard and tuned results may be reported httpwwwccvirginiaedustream
VolanoMark is a 100 pure Java server benchmark that creates long-lasting network client connections in groups of 20 and measures how long it takes for the clients to take turns broadcasting their messages to the group The benchmark reports a score as the average number of messages transferred by the server per second
ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

The benchmarks and values shown herein were derived using particular well configured development-level computer systems Unless otherwise indicated for a system the values were derived using external cache if external cache is supported on the system 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 benchmarks values and systems tested contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller or access the following on the Web
TPC httpwwwtpcorg Linpack httpwwwnetlibnonetlibbenchmarkperformancepsProE httpwwwproecom SPEC httpwwwspecorgGPC httpwwwspecorggpc NotesBench Mail httpwwwnotesbenchorg VolanoMark httpwwwvolanocom STREAM httpwwwcsvirginiaedustream
Unless otherwise indicated for a system the performance benchmarks were conducted using AIX V43 or AIX 5L IBM C Set++ for AIX and IBM XL FORTRAN for AIX with optimization were the compilers used in the benchmark tests The preprocessors used in some benchmark tests include KAP 32 for FORTRAN and KAPC 142 from Kuck amp Associates and VAST-2 v401X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors Other software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX and MASS for AIX were also used in some benchmarks
The following SPEC and Linpack benchmarks reflect microprocessor memory architecture and compiler performance of the tested system (XX is either 95 or 2000)
ndashSPECintXX - SPEC component-level benchmark that measures integer performance Result is the geometric mean of eight tests comprising the CINTXX benchmark suite All of these are written in the C language SPECint_baseXX is the result of the same tests as CINTXX with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all eight tests
ndashSPECint_rateXX - Geometric average of the eight SPEC rates from the SPEC integer tests (CINTXX) SPECint_base_rateXX is the result of the same tests as CINTXX with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all eight tests
ndashSPECfpXX - SPEC component-level benchmark that measures floating-point performance Result is the geometric mean of ten tests all written in FORTRAN included in the CFPXX benchmark suite SPECfp_baseXX is the result of the same tests as CFPXX with a maximum of four compiler flags that must be used in all ten tests

The Linpack benchmark measures floating-point performance of a systemndashLinpack DP (Double Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in megaflops (MFLOPS) ndashLinpack SP (Single Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack TPP (Toward Peak Performance) - n=1000 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack HPC (Highly Parallel Computing) - solves the largest system of linear equations possible The results are measured in GFLOPS
STREAM is a simple synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MBs) and the corresponding computation rate for simple vector kernels Both standard and tuned results may be reported httpwwwccvirginiaedustream
VolanoMark is a 100 pure Java server benchmark that creates long-lasting network client connections in groups of 20 and measures how long it takes for the clients to take turns broadcasting their messages to the group The benchmark reports a score as the average number of messages transferred by the server per second
ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

ndashSPECjAppServer200X (where X is 1 or 2) - Measures the performance of Java Enterprise Application Servers using a subset of J2EE APIs in a complete end-to-end Web application
The Linpack benchmark measures floating-point performance of a systemndashLinpack DP (Double Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in megaflops (MFLOPS) ndashLinpack SP (Single Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack TPP (Toward Peak Performance) - n=1000 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack HPC (Highly Parallel Computing) - solves the largest system of linear equations possible The results are measured in GFLOPS
STREAM is a simple synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MBs) and the corresponding computation rate for simple vector kernels Both standard and tuned results may be reported httpwwwccvirginiaedustream
VolanoMark is a 100 pure Java server benchmark that creates long-lasting network client connections in groups of 20 and measures how long it takes for the clients to take turns broadcasting their messages to the group The benchmark reports a score as the average number of messages transferred by the server per second
ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

STREAM is a simple synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MBs) and the corresponding computation rate for simple vector kernels Both standard and tuned results may be reported httpwwwccvirginiaedustream
VolanoMark is a 100 pure Java server benchmark that creates long-lasting network client connections in groups of 20 and measures how long it takes for the clients to take turns broadcasting their messages to the group The benchmark reports a score as the average number of messages transferred by the server per second
ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

ndashSPECjAppServer200X (where X is 1 or 2) - Measures the performance of Java Enterprise Application Servers using a subset of J2EE APIs in a complete end-to-end Web application
The Linpack benchmark measures floating-point performance of a systemndashLinpack DP (Double Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in megaflops (MFLOPS) ndashLinpack SP (Single Precision) - n=100 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack TPP (Toward Peak Performance) - n=1000 is the array size The results are measured in MFLOPSndashLinpack HPC (Highly Parallel Computing) - solves the largest system of linear equations possible The results are measured in GFLOPS
STREAM is a simple synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MBs) and the corresponding computation rate for simple vector kernels Both standard and tuned results may be reported httpwwwccvirginiaedustream
VolanoMark is a 100 pure Java server benchmark that creates long-lasting network client connections in groups of 20 and measures how long it takes for the clients to take turns broadcasting their messages to the group The benchmark reports a score as the average number of messages transferred by the server per second
ndashThe following Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem disk subsystem and some portions of the network
ndashtpmC - 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
ndash$tpmC - TPC Benchmark C priceperformance ratio reflects the estimated five year total cost of ownership for system hardware software and maintenance and is determined by dividing such estimated total cost by the tpmC for the system
ndashQppH is the power metric of TPC-H and is based on a geometric mean of the 17 TPC-H queries the insert test and the delete test It measures the ability of the system to give a single user the best possible response time by harnessing all available resources QppH is scaled based on database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndashQthH is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way A number of query users is chosen each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order In the background there is an update stream running a series of insertdelete operations QthH is scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 10TB
ndash$QphH is the priceperformance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where QphH is the geometric mean of QppH and QthH The price is the five-year cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support

The following graphics benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem and graphics adapterndashSPECxpc results - Xmark93 is the weighted geometric mean of 447 tests executed in the x11perf suite and is an indicator of 2D graphics performance in an X environment Larger values indicate better performance
ndashSPECplb results (graPHIGS) - PLBwire93 and PLBsurf93 are geometric means of literal and optimized Picture Level Benchmark (PLB) tests for 3D wireframe and 3D surface tests respectively Larger values indicate better performance
ndashSPECopc results - Viewperf 7 (3dsmax-01 DRV-08 DX-07 Light-05 ProE-01 UGS-01) and Viewperf 612 (AWadvs-04 DRV-07 DX-06 Light-04 medMCAD-01 ProCDRS-03) are weighted geometric means of individual viewset metrics Larger values indicate better performance
The following graphics benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor memory subsystem graphics adapter and disk subsystemndashSPECapc ProEngineer 2000i2 results - PROE2000I2_2000370 was developed by the SPECapc committee to measure UNIX and Windows workstations in a comparable real-world environment Larger numbers indicate better performance
The NotesBench Mail workload simulates users reading and sending mail A simulated user will execute a prescribed set of functions 4 times per hour and will generate mail traffic about every 90 minutes Performance metrics are
ndashNotesMark - transactionsminute (TPM)ndashNotesBench users - number of client (user) sessions being simulated by the NotesBench workloadndash$NotesMark - ratio of total system cost divided by the NotesMark (TPM) achieved on the Mail workloadndash$User - ratio of total system cost divided by the number of client sessions successfully simulated for the NotesBench Mail workload measured Total system cost is the price of the server under test to the client including hardware operating system and Domino Server licenses

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller

rPerfndashrPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other pSeries systems It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads TPC and SPEC benchmarks The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU cache and memory However the model does not simulate disk or network IO operations
ndashrPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX 5L and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics The IBM ~ pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 10 Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration
ndashAll performance estimates are provided AS IS and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM Buyers should consult other sources of information including system benchmarks and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying For additional information about rPerf contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller
