Red Hat Enterprise Linux won 11 tests based on Nehalem

The recent release of Intel Xeon 5500 Series processor Nehalem-EP began to calm down. During this release, RedHat became the most attractive partner. Intel called the series of processors "the most revolutionary server processor since the launch of the Intel Pentium Pro processor 15 years ago ". This statement proves to be among the numerous new performance records created during the release activities. During the release, RedHat and our partners passed the previous test results in eight different industry standard tests. Our running application results reflect the real scalability and performance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the new quad-core Intel processor.

Results of the first 11 SPECWeb (c) 2005 based on the Red Hat

Redhat Enterprise Linux has become a consistent choice for users because of its Web application performance and reliability. The systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Account for 2005 of all the top 10 SPECWeb (c) results. With the latest performance results, Red Hat Enterprise Linux occupies the first 11 testing projects.

HP ProLiant DL360 G6 delivers dynamic Web content faster than other tested systems. The result is 70% higher than the minimum gap between the eight-core RISC system and 80% higher than the third two-way x86 system. In fact, the two-way system with high efficiency performs better than the four-way system with the second place. Of course, it is also a Red Hat system .)

6 new two-way HPC Benchmark

An intelligent operating system is a key component for running large-scale computing-intensive workloads, especially on the next generation of multi-core CPUs. The HPC benchmark may appear to be specific industries, but they all share the common characteristics of every IT professional. However, this benchmark shows that the problem scale is sufficient to reflect the actual problem scale. They use every kernel in the system to maximize the use of the memory system. They reach saturation through the drive system, proving the efficiency and stability of the operating system under the load.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux has set a new standard for two systems in six HPC benchmark tests. Four benchmarks for commercial computer simulation applications are widely used in the manufacturing industry. Performance is improved by 5400 to 70% compared with previous Intel Xeon 115% processors. Faster results in Material Simulation consume less energy while saving time and money.

Another commercial HPC benchmark was developed for the reservoir software Schlumberger's Eclipse (c. This demanding application uses a very complex set of data to simulate interactions between rocks, oil, and drilling technologies. Energy companies run Eclipse Simulation Applications several days, weeks, and months to optimize their crude oil mining strategies. The latest results are 5400 faster than the previous Intel Xeon 150% results.

Cisco and Red Hat Benchmark

Cisco and RedHat show the performance of Cisco's Unified Computing System, the latest server on the market. The test results exceed 154% of Intel SPECopmMbase's previous score. This new type of Blade Server from Cisco took the lead in two systems just two weeks after its launch. The performance of the latest hardware has proved the capability of Redhat Enterprise Linux.

Oracle Application and RedHat Benchmark

The last benchmark is somewhat different from other benchmark tests. The Oracle Application (OASB) Benchmark simulates the Enterprise Resource Planning ERP running Oracle E-Business Suite 11i) activity. This type of workload is designed to reproduce the REAL Enterprise load of batch processing and interaction processes with multiple competing system resources. With the cooperation of the Red Hat system, Oracle's E-Business Suite completes the batch processing and processing of 55,866 million orders to cash every hour with 81,522 million payroll, the ranking of the two systems is the highest.

Oracle's E-Business Suite is a multi-layer Web application. Redhat Enterprise Linux is widely used in Web/application and database servers. An HP ProLiant DL380 G6 server runs the Oracle 10 Gb database, while the BL685c blade server is used for the application and Web layer.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is well prepared to take full advantage of the eight kernels of the Intel Xeon 5500 processor in these latest servers and the new memory architecture. RedHat and our partners have been striving for this.
