Why Not Change S 814 Power Supplies in the Field? Slide added after Oct § Today IBM Manufacturing applies one of two different labels to a S 814 --- one for 900 W power supplies and one for 1400 W power supplies. § The problem with making the change today is that the WW agency certifications and the Power Supply information are on the same label on the back of the server. There are multiple agency certifications needed to sell a product around the world. A US agency example would be like the UL label. I'm told it's illegal for this label to be changed in the field. It can only be done at the plant by manufacturing. § The future planned 2015 answer is to change/expand the label to show the power value for both the 900 W and 1400 W power supplies and have one generic label. That way power supplies can be changed in the field for any S 814 server shipped with that newer label assuming 900 W adequate for that configuration. § The 2014 RPQ answer is to ship 900 W power supplies in a rack mount S 814 from IBM Manufacturing. Note this is new builds, new serial number orders. Not already shipped boxes. § We don't have a an RPQ answer to handle an already-shipped S 814 in the field today. We are trying to invent one. © 2014 International Business Machines Corporation 14

177 GB SSD Price Performance Analysis § 177 GB IOPS performance about the same as 387 GB performance § Many configs just need a small amount of SSD to dramatically improve disk storage performance. The 177 GB RI (Read Intensive) drive fits this. For example, perhaps 8 -10 disk + 3 SSD. § If larger amounts of SSD capacity needed per array, use the 387 GB or 775 GB drives.

Notes on benchmarks and values The IBM benchmarks results shown herein were derived using particular, well configured, development-level and generally-available computer systems. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application oriented testing. For additional information about the benchmarks, values and systems tested, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller or access the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor. IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at http: //www. ibm. com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf. html. All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5 L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX Version 4. 3, AIX 5 L or AIX 6 were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX. The SPEC CPU 2006, SPEC 2000, LINPACK, and Technical Computing benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5 L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers were used: XL C Enterprise Edition V 7. 0 for AIX, XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V 7. 0 for AIX, XL FORTRAN Enterprise Edition V 9. 1 for AIX, XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V 7. 0 for Linux, and XL FORTRAN Advanced Edition V 9. 1 for Linux. The SPEC CPU 95 (retired in 2000) tests used preprocessors, KAP 3. 2 for FORTRAN and KAP/C 1. 4. 2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 v 4. 01 X 8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors. Other software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX, MASS for AIX and Kazushige oto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.

Notes on performance estimates r. Perf for AIX r. Perf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The r. Perf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. r. Perf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM e. Server p. Series 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1. 0. Although r. Perf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture. All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about r. Perf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller. ==================================== CPW for IBM i Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations.
