Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER UNIX server
Another win that proves its Java Application benchmark advantage
April 10, 2006
PRIMEPOWER 2500 has once again produced a world No.1 record of 1, 251,024 operations/sec in the SPECjbb® 2005 (SPEC® Java Business Benchmark 2005).
This benchmark result was achieved using a configuration of PRIMEPOWER 2500 with 128 SPARC64™ V(2.08 GHz) processors (manufactured by Fujitsu) with the result published on 30th March 2006 by The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC).
SPECjbb2005, developed by SPEC, indicates server performance in Java business applications environments. Such benchmark results can be directly mapped to your your process requirements. The benchmark simulates actual wholesale business processes including orders, deliveries, payments, inventory and customer information management. The benchmark results can therefore be used as a good index of actual business application performance.

* business operations per second
PRIMEPOWER’s high performance is proven by benchmark testing
PRIMEPOWER’s high performance is proven in comparisons with other vender’s server benchmark results. The performance comparison
below shows that PRIMEPOWER outperforms other venders such as Sun Fire or IBM p5 system.
PRIMEPOWER2500/2.08GHz x128way is 7.4% higher than Sun Fire E25K/1.5GHz x144way and 283% higher than IBM p5 570/2.2GHz x16way
in business operations per second (abbreviated to bops) with the SPECjbb 2005 benchmark. (As of April 10, 2006)

Fujitsu’s cutting edge processor technology supports PRIMEPOWER’s high performance

SPARC64 V, the heart of PRIMEPOWER high performance incorporates high performance features including super scalar construction,
Out-of-Order execution and non-blocking cache control.
PRIMEPOWER containing up to 128 SPARC64 V processors, is one of the most scalable server families in the world. It allows
you to meet changes flexibly as the business environment changes and/or data volumes grow.
Fujitsu is continuing its fine tradition of developing servers and processors to deliver the highest possible performance
in UNIX servers.
