Notes:
rPerf for AIX
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.
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, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller.

Power 710 server consolidation of T2000 servers substantiation
Notes:
1. SPEC® and the benchmark names SPECrate®, SPECint®, and SPECjbb® are registered trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. Competitive benchmark
results stated reflect results published on www.spec.org as of August 17, 2010. The comparison presented below is based on a consolidation of a legacy 8-core Sun SPARC Enterprise
T2000 UltraSPARC T1 servers into a 8 core IBM Power 730. For the latest SPEC benchmark results, visit http://www.spec.org.
2. SPECjbb2005 results are:
POWER7: IBM Power 710 Express with 1 chips, and 16 cores and four threads per core with a result of 611,000 bops and xx,xxxx bops/jvm submitted to SPEC on August 17, 2010.
SPARC: Sun Microsystems Sun SPARC Enterprise T2000 with 1 chips, 8 cores and 4 threads per core with a result of 74,356 bops and 18,591 bops/jvm
*The virtualized system count and energy savings were derived from several factors:
A performance ratio factor of 24.7X was applied to the virtualization scenario based on SPECjbb2005. Power 710 (8-core, 1 chips, 8 cores per chip, 3.55 GHz) 611,000 bops, submitted on
8/17/2010; Sun SPARC Enterprise T2000 (8-core, 1 chips, 8 cores per chip) 1.4 GHz, SPECjbb2005 74,356 bops. The performance factor is simply the SPECjbb2005 result of the
Power 710 Express divided by the result of the competitive Sun SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
A virtualization factor of 3X was applied to the virtualization scenario using utilization assumptions derived from an Alinean white paper on server consolidation. The tool assumes 19%
utilization of existing servers and 60% utilization of new servers. Source - www.ibm.com/services/us/cio/optimize/opt_wp_ibm_systemp.pdf.
Calculation Summary: the Power 710 to the Sun T2000 performance ratio is 8.22 Multiply by 3 for the virtualization factor. Hence, 8.22 * 3 = 24 servers T2000 servers can be consolidated
into one 730 server.
The Sun T2000 is 2U in height and 21 can fit into a 42U rack. The 710 is 2U in height.
One 710 server is 8 cores per system. A Sun T2000 has 8 cores per system. 24 systems multiplied by 8 cores is 192 cores. The Power 710 Express has 95% less cores.
Power consumption figures of 1100W for the IBM Power 710 and 450W for the Sun T2000 were based on the maximum rates published by IBM and Sun Microsystems, respectively. This
information for the 730 is in "Model 8231-E2B server specifications" available at http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/index.wss - search for Power 710. Sun T2000 Maximum AC power

x86: HP Proliant DL380G5 with 1 chip, 2 cores and 1 threads per core with a result of 36.2
*The virtualized system count and energy savings were derived from several factors:
A performance ratio factor of 15.8X was applied to the virtualization scenario based on SPECint_rate2006. Power 730 (16-core, 2 chips, 16 cores per chip, 3.55 GHz) 574, submitted on
8/17/2010; HP DL380 G5 (2-core, 1 chip, 2 cores per chip) 3.0 GHz, 36.2. The performance factor is simply the SPECint_rate2006 result of the Power 730 Express divided by the result
of the competitive HP Proliant DL380 G5 server.
A virtualization factor of 3X was applied to the virtualization scenario using utilization assumptions derived from an Alinean white paper on server consolidation. The tool assumes 19%
utilization of existing servers and 60% utilization of new servers. Source - www.ibm.com/services/us/cio/optimize/opt_wp_ibm_systemp.pdf.
Calculation Summary: the Power 730 to the HP DL380 G5 performance ratio is 15.86 Multiply by 3 for the virtualization factor. Hence, 15.86 * 3 = 47 servers DL380 servers can be
consolidated into one 730 server.
The HP DL380 is 2U in height and 21 can fit into a 42U rack. The 730 is 2U in height.
One 730 server is 16 cores per system. A HP DL380 G5 has 2 cores per system. 47 systems multiplied by 2 cores is 94 cores. The Power 730 Express has 83% less cores.

for AIX, MASS for AIX and Kazushige Goto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.

Notes on performance estimates
rPerf for AIX
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.
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, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller.
========================================================================
CPW for IBM i
Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system.
Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. More performance information is
available in the Performance Capabilities Reference at: www.ibm.com/systems/i/solutions/perfmgmt/resource.html
