Performance of IBM UNIX, IBM i and Linux Operating System Servers

April, 2012
This document contains performance and benchmark results for IBM servers and workstations running the UNIX
(AIX), IBM i and Linux operating systems. This includes the IBM Power Systems servers (System p,
System p5, eServer p5, pSeries, OpenPower and IBM RS/6000; BladeCenter Power Architecture
technology-based blades) and IntelliStation POWER workstations.
This document contains the results for the POWER7 systems through April 11, 2012.
Section One of this report includes the SPEC CPU2006 results. SPEC CPU2000 results are presented in Section
1a.
Section Two is multiuser performance. The rPerf, CPW and SPEC_rate2006 are presented in this section.
Multiuser Performance of SPEC CPU2000 along with rPerf and SPECweb99 are presented in Section 2a.
Multiuser performance using AIX V5.2 is presented in Section 2b. Capacity Upgrade on Demand relative
performance guidelines are presented in Section 2c. Section 2d of this report includes CPW benchmark
information provided for new POWER6 processor-based servers running the IBM i operating system.
Section Three presents the TPC-C version 5 results.
Section Four provides published TPC-H results.
Section Five reflects the published SPECsfs97 benchmark results. The NotesBench results to date are presented
in Section 5a.
Section Six reflects the published SPECjvm98, SPECjbb2000 and SPECjbb2005 Java benchmarks.
Section Seven through Twelve include published application performance benchmarks for SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle
Applications, Seibel, Sybase and Manugistics.
Section Thirteen contains Linux operating system performance results.
Section Fourteen is a historical list of commercial performance estimates for IBM System p, RS/6000 models and
RS/6000 SP nodes that have been withdrawn from marketing. IBM has discontinued Relative OLTP results.
All performance measurements for the IBM System p, IBM System p5, IBM eServer p5, IBM eServer pSeries, IBM
RS/6000 servers, IntelliStation POWER workstations and BladeCenter blades were made with systems running the
AIX operating system unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX Version
4.3, AIX 5 or AIX 6 were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX.
Footnotes used in following tables:
# - System has been announced as withdrawn from marketing; * - Submitted to SPEC, waiting review; e estimate;
n new; u upgrade; N/A not available; P5 IBM POWER5; P5+ IBM POWER5+; P6 IBM POWER6;
P6+ IBM POWER6+; P7 POWER7, IS IntelliStation, OP OpenPower, PPC PowerPC

Notes on Performance Benchmarks and Values

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 external cache if external cache is
supported on the system. All performance benchmark values are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are
expressed 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 IBM local Branch
Office or IBM Authorized Reseller or access the following on the Web:
SPEC
TPC

http://www.spec.org
http://www.tpc.org

All performance measurements for the IBM Power, System p, System p5 and eServer p5 servers were made with
systems running AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and
upgraded systems, the latest versions of AIX were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX.
The SPEC CPU2006 and SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and
FORTRAN compilers for AIX and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers
were used.
The following SPEC benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory architecture and compiler of the tested
system:
SPECint2006 - New SPEC component-level benchmark that measures integer performance. Result is the geometric mean of
twelve tests that comprise the CINT2006 benchmark suite.
SPECint_base2006 - The result of the same tests in CINT2006 with the same compiler options that must be used in all twelve
tests.
SPECint_rate2006 - Geometric average of the twelve SPEC rates from the SPEC integer tests (CINT2006).
SPECint_rate_base2006 - The result of the same tests as CINT2006 with the same compiler options that must be used in all
twelve tests.
SPECfp2006 - New SPEC component-level benchmark that measures floating-point performance. Result is the geometric
mean of seventeen tests, all written in FORTRAN and C languages, that are included in the CFP2006 benchmark suite.
SPECfp_base2006 - The result of the same tests in CFP2006 with the same compiler options that must be used in all
seventeen tests.
SPECfp_rate2000 - Geometric mean of the seventeen SPEC rates from SPEC floating-point tests (CFP2006).
SPECfp_rate_base2000 - The result of the same tests as CFP2000 with the same compiler options that must be used in all
seventeen tests.
SPECint2000 - SPEC component-level benchmark that measures integer performance. Result is the geometric mean of twelve
tests that comprise the CINT2000 benchmark suite. All of these are written in C language except for one which is in C++.
SPECint_base2000 - The result of the same tests in CINT2000 with a maximum of four compiler options that must be used in
all twelve tests.
SPECint_rate2000 - Geometric average of the twelve SPEC rates from the SPEC integer tests (CINT2000).
SPECint_rate_base2000 - The result of the same tests as CINT2000 with a maximum of four compiler options that must be
used in all twelve tests.
SPECfp2000 - SPEC component-level benchmark that measures floating-point performance. Result is the geometric mean of
fourteen tests, all written in FORTRAN and C languages, that are included in the CFP2000 benchmark suite.

Page 42

SPECfp_base2000 - The result of the same tests in CFP2000 with a maximum of four compiler options that must be used in all
fourteen tests.
SPECfp_rate2000 - Geometric mean of the fourteen SPEC rates from SPEC floating-point tests (CFP2000).
SPECfp_rate_base2000 - The result of the same tests as CFP2000 with a maximum of four compiler options that must be used
in all fourteen tests.
SPEC OMP2001 - Geometric mean 11 compute intensive parallel workload tests, written in Fortran and C languages.
SPECweb99 - Number of conforming, simultaneous connections the Web server can support using a predefined workload. The
SPECweb99 test harness emulates clients sending the HTTP requests in the workload over slow Internet connections to the
Web server. The Web server software is Zeus from Zeus Technology Ltd.
SPECweb2005 - Emulates users sending browser requests over broadband Internet connections to a Web server. It provides
three new workloads: a banking site (HTTPS), an e-commerce site (HTTP/HTTPS mix); and a support site (HTTP.
SPECweb99_SSL - Number of conforming, simultaneous SSL encryption/decryption connections the Web server can
support using a predefined workload. The Web server software is Zeus from Zeus Technology Ltd.
SPECjvm99 - Contains eight different tests. Each test measures the time it takes to load the program, verify the class files,
compile on the fly if a JIT compiler is used, and execute the test. A geometric mean is used to compute a composite score.
Test scores are normalized against a reference machine. Higher scores indicate better performance.
SPECjbb2000 - Expressed in operations per second; evaluates the performance of servers running typical Java business
applications; it represents an order processing application for a wholesale supplier. The benchmark can be used to evaluate
performance of hardware and software aspects of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) servers.
SPECjbb2005 - Expressed in bops and bops/JVM; evaluates the performance of servers running typical Java business
applications; it represents an order processing application for a wholesale supplier. The benchmark can be used to evaluate
performance of hardware and software aspects of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) servers.
SPECsfs97_R1 - Measures speed and request-handling capabilities of NFS (network file server) computers.
SPECjAppServer2004 - Measures the performance of Java Enterprise Application Servers using a subset of J2EE APIs in a
complete end-to-end Web application.
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 - TPC Benchmark C price-performance 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.
QppH - 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 1TB.
QthH - The throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measure 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 that runs a series of insert/delete operations. QthH is
scaled based on the database size from 30GB to 1TB.
QphH is the geometric mean of the power tests (QppH) and the throughput tests (QthH).
$/QphH - The price/performance 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.

Notes on Performance Estimates

rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX 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 I/O operations.
rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system
announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM eServer pSeries 640 is
the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. 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. Note that the rPerf methodology used for the POWER6
systems is identical to that used for the POWER5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in
commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture.
Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating
system. Performance in client environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. More performance
information is available in the Performance Capabilities Reference at:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/solutions/perfmgmt/resource.html .
All 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 and CPW, contact your local IBM
office or IBM authorized reseller.
IBM withdrew Relative OLTP (ROLTP). Starting June 2001, IBM will not publish/update ROLTP results. ROLTP results of
systems that are withdrawn from the market are left in Section 14, Historical Multiuser Performance.
