Notes
1. Approximately 30 percent performance
improvements
The comparison is made by per core
performance.
The per core performance is calculated by dividing measured per
socket values by the number of cores per socket.
- 38.4 per core = 307 divided by 8 cores, where 307 is measured
with the following conditions.
- Fujitsu M10-1 server with SPARC64 X+ (3.7GHz, 8 core)
processor
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 SRU6.4
- Version 12.4 of Oracle Solaris Studio
- 29.3 per core =468 divided by 16 cores, where 468 is measured
with the following conditions.
- Fujitsu M10-1 server with SPARC64 X+ (3.2GHz, 16 core)
processor
- Oracle Solaris 11.1 SRU15.4
- Version 12.3 of Oracle Solaris Studio 10/13 Patch
Set
Details and the latest information on this benchmark will be
published on the SPEC® webpages at http://www.spec.org. New models
benchmark results have been submitted to SPEC.
