SPARC Enterprise M9000 - Highest Single JVM Performance in SPECjbb2005® -
3th December 2008
In the SPECjbb2005® benchmark, SPARC Enterprise M9000 with quad core processor SPARC™ VII recorded 1,757,035 bops- the highest single Java VM benchmark. Compared with PRIMEPOWER 2500, M9000, with twice the number of cores, provides around 2.2 times the performance. Compared with Sun Fire E25K, M9000 delivers around 1.5 times the performance.
The key point about this benchmark win is SPARC Enterprise can grow its performance just by adding server resources. No special
tuning, impractical configurations, or complex hand-holding is required. With its excellent Symmetric Multi Processing (SMP)
design, SPARC Enterprise automatically optimizes throughput between CPUs, memory and I/O by accessing all resources using
the shortest possible path. Other venders’ UNIX servers, without such intelligent mechanisms, require complex application
and hardware tunings in expert server installation to work as efficiently as possible.
That is why SPARC Enterprise offers the best performance in a wide range of application areas.
Example;
- No.1 performance in ERP application benchmark - the two-tier SAP® Sales and Distribution (SD) Standard Application Benchmark
- Superior performance in integer calculation benchmark compared with IBM Power 595 and HP Superdome - SPECint_rate2006 benchmark
With this ability to self tune and scale right out of the box, SPARC Enterprise will continues to offer you the right performance at the right time without expensive administration and other expert interventions.

[ SPECjbb2005 Reference ]
SPECjbb2005 is a benchmark measure developed by SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) to evaluate server performance in Java-based business application environments. This benchmark simulates a distributor’s ordering application, and evaluates system performance, not limited to Java performance. Hardware performance related to CPUs and memory is evaluated through processing data in memory. JVM performance and related JIT (Just-In Time) compiler and garbage collector contained in JVM are also evaluated.
