SPECcpu2006 Benchmark

SPECcpu2006 measures system efficiency for integer and floating-point operations, focusing on CPU and memory. It includes SPECint2006 (12 applications) and SPECfp2006 (17 applications). Results are based on 'base' and 'peak' runs, with 'base' values used for publication. The benchmark measures speed (time per task) and rate (tasks per second, parallel execution).

Benchmark	Arithmetic	Type	Compiler optimization	Measurement result	Application
SPECint2006	integer	peak	aggressive	Speed	single-threaded
SPECint_base2006	integer	base	conservative
SPECint_rate2006	integer	peak	aggressive	Throughput	multi-threaded
SPECint_rate_base2006	integer	base	conservative
SPECfp2006	floating point	peak	aggressive	Speed	single-threaded
SPECfp_base2006	floating point	base	conservative
SPECfp_rate2006	floating point	peak	aggressive	Throughput	multi-threaded
SPECfp_rate_base2006	floating point	base	conservative

Results are geometric averages of normalized ratio values, where '1' represents the reference system. A value of '2' means twice as fast as the reference.

Performance Comparison (SPECcpu2006): Two bar charts illustrate the performance improvement of the PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 over its predecessor, the RX2530 M2. The M4 shows significant gains in both integer (SPECint_rate2006) and floating-point (SPECfp_rate2006) performance, attributed to its advanced Intel Xeon processors.

OLTP-2 Benchmark

OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) measures database performance by simulating typical application scenarios and reporting transactions per second (tps). OLTP-2 is an internal Fujitsu benchmark based on TPC-E, designed to test system scaling with CPU and memory configurations. The benchmark setup involves a client, application server, database server, and disk subsystem.

Benchmark Environment: The OLTP-2 benchmark was conducted using a specific configuration involving a PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 as the database server, a PRIMERGY RX2530 M2 as the application server, and another PRIMERGY RX2530 M2 as the client. The database server utilized Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Enterprise, while the application and client servers ran Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.

Benchmark Results: Database performance is highly dependent on CPU, memory, and disk subsystem configuration. For optimal memory selection, sufficient quantity is prioritized over speed. Configurations with 1536 GB memory for dual-processor systems and 768 GB for single-processor systems were used, both with 2666 MHz memory access speed.

The comparison of current system generations (RX2530 M4/RX2540 M4) with predecessor systems (RX2530 M2/RX2540 M2) shows an approximate 40% increase in maximum achievable OLTP-2 values.

vServCon Benchmark

vServCon is a Fujitsu benchmark for comparing server consolidation suitability, evaluating hypervisors, virtualization forms, and I/O technologies. It combines existing benchmarks for database, application server, and web server workloads within virtual machines (VMs). The benchmark measures performance scaling by increasing the number of VMs or 'tiles' (groups of VMs).

Benchmark Environment: The vServCon benchmark environment uses a System Under Test (SUT) consisting of a PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 with dual Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family CPUs and 24 x 32 GB memory. Load generators were PRIMERGY RX2530 M2 servers. The operating system for the SUT was VMware ESXi 6.5.0b.

Benchmark Results: The results show significant performance improvements across different Intel Xeon processors. The document highlights that increased physical cores, Hyper-Threading, and CPU clock frequency contribute to higher VM density and performance. Performance increases from 2008 to 2017 are detailed, showing advancements in processor technology leading to higher vServCon scores. The comparison of system generations shows substantial improvements in virtualization performance.

Another diagram shows the scaling factor of 1.94 for dual-processor configurations compared to single-processor configurations, using Xeon Platinum 8180 as an example.

STREAM Benchmark

STREAM is a synthetic benchmark developed by John McCalpin to measure memory throughput for sequential data accesses. It outputs results in GB/s, with the TRIAD value commonly used for comparison. The benchmark's results are influenced by memory clock frequency and processor arithmetic capabilities.

Type	Execution	Bytes per step	Floating-point calculation per step
COPY	a(i) = b(i)	16	0
SCALE	a(i) = q × b(i)	16	1
SUM	a(i) = b(i) + c(i)	24	1
TRIAD	a(i) = b(i) + q × c(i)	24	2

Benchmark Environment: The STREAM benchmark was run on a PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 with dual Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family CPUs and 16 GB memory. The operating system was SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 (x86_64), with optimized system settings. Specific processors were run with AVX512 or AVX2 instruction sets.

Benchmark Results: The results table shows Memory Frequency, Memory Bandwidth, Processor Cores, Processor Frequency, Number of Processors, and TRIAD values for various Intel Xeon processors. A bar chart compares the STREAM TRIAD throughput of the PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 against its predecessor, the PRIMERGY RX2530 M2, demonstrating significant performance gains for the M4 across different processor configurations.

LINPACK Benchmark

LINPACK, developed in the 1970s, measures computer performance by solving a system of linear equations. It is a key benchmark in High-Performance Computing (HPC). The result is reported as Rmax (GFlops), representing the measured floating-point operations per second. Rpeak is the theoretical maximum performance.

Benchmark Environment: The LINPACK benchmark was executed on a PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 with dual Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family CPUs and 16 GB memory. The setup utilized SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 (x86_64) and Intel® Math Kernel Library for benchmarks.

Benchmark Results: The results table provides Processor, Frequency, Cores, Number of Processors, Rpeak, Rmax, and Efficiency for various Intel Xeon processors. It notes that Intel does not guarantee maximum turbo frequency and that AVX instruction usage can affect performance.
