Four World Record SPECjbb2015 Benchmark Results for 8-Socket ThinkSystem SR950

July 11, 2017 ... Lenovo has published leadership eight-processor (8P) performance results for the SPECjbb2015-MultiJVM and SPECjbb2015-Distributed benchmarks.

SPECjbb2015 is a Java Business Benchmark and is the SPEC benchmark used for evaluating the performance of servers running typical Enterprise Java applications.

The ThinkSystem SR950 achieved the following four top SPECjbb2015 scores:

• 655,002 SPECjbb2015-MultiJVM max-jOPS
• 424,151 SPECjbb2015-MultiJVM critical-jOPS
• 670,785 SPECjbb2015-Distributed max-jOPS
• 440,399 SPECjbb2015-Distributed critical-jOPS

The ThinkSystem SR950 server was configured as follows for both of the SPECjbb2015-MultiJVM critical-JOPs and SPECjbb2015-Distributed critical-JOPs benchmark results:

• Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 (2.5 GHz with 38.5 MB L3 cache per processor - 8 chips/224 cores/28 cores per chip)
• 3 TB of TruDDR4 memory
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.3
• Oracle Java HotSpot 64-bit Server VM, version 1.8.0_131

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 is designed for your most demanding, mission-critical workloads, such as in-memory databases, large transactional databases, batch and real-time analytics, ERP, CRM, and virtualized server workloads.

The powerful 4U ThinkSystem SR950 can grow from two to eight Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors, and with 96 DIMM sockets, supports up to 12 TB of high-speed memory without having to replace the server enclosure or upgrade to a physically larger design. The modular design of SR950 speeds upgrades and servicing with easy front or rear access to all major subsystems to maximize server availability.

The SR950 packs numerous fault-tolerant and high-availability features into a high-density design. The SR950 offers enterprise scalability and advanced RAS features to support the most demanding mission-critical applications that require 24x7 operations. The new 4U rack optimized design reduces the space needed to support massive network computing operations and simplifies servicing.

Lenovo XClarity Controller is an all-new hardware embedded management engine common in every ThinkSystem server. XClarity Controller features an uncluttered graphical user interface, industry standard Redfish-compliant REST APIs, and enables booting in half the time of prior generation servers, with up to 6x faster firmware updates.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a virtualized application that centrally manages ThinkSystem servers, storage, and networking. Via reusable patterns and policies, it ramps up and scales infrastructure provisioning and maintenance. It serves as a central integration point to extend your data center management processes to physical IT. Running XClarity Integrators in external IT applications, or integrating through REST APIs, helps you further speed services provisioning, streamline IT management, and contain costs.

The SPECjbb 2015 benchmark has been developed from the ground up to measure performance based on the latest Java application features. It is relevant to all audiences who are interested in Java server performance, including JVM vendors, hardware developers, Java application developers, researchers and members of the academic community.
