NEC Corp has announced that its Intel Itanium2 processor-based server, the Express5800/1160Xe, has achieved what is claimed to be the world's best TPC-C benchmark performance on an 8-processor IA server platform.
254,471 transactions per minute (tpmC) were accomplished using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4 for Itanium processors family, OracleDatabase 10g enterprise edition and BEATuxedo 8.1. This is also claimed to represent the best TPC-C benchmark performance on an 8-processor Linux server platform.
TPC-C is an industry-standard benchmark for measuring a system's processing performance based on an enterprise transaction model for handling orders. This performance was accomplished by leveraging the company's cross-bar switching technology, which supports up to over 100GB/s aggregated throughput, and its addressing network technology for high speed cache coherency control. These technologies are both derived from the company's long experience with supercomputer development. Furthermore, the long-term collaboration of product development and performance optimization with many software and middleware companies on server platforms developed by NEC played a significant role in achieving this performance.
NEC intends to enhance and expand its line of Intel Itanium2 processor-based servers and 64-bit Linux enterprise solutions with Oracle Database 10g to meet mission-critical business needs for the enterprise market
