H is the throughput metric of TPC-H and is a classical throughput measurement characterizing the ability of the system to support a multiuser workload in a balanced way. A number of query users is chosen, each of which must execute the full set of 17 queries in a different order. In the background, there is an update stream running a series of insert/delete operations. Qth. H is scaled based on the database size from 30 GB to 10 TB. –$/Qph. H is the price/performance metric for the TPC-H benchmark where Qph. H is the geometric mean of Qpp. H and Qth. H. The price is the fiveyear cost of ownership for the tested configuration and includes maintenance and software support. Revised January 9, 2003 100 © 2009 IBM Corporation

IBM Power Systems Notes on Benchmarks and Values (Cont. ) The following graphics benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory subsystem, and graphics adapter: –SPECxpc results - Xmark 93 is the weighted geometric mean of 447 tests executed in the x 11 perf suite and is an indicator of 2 D graphics performance in an X environment. Larger values indicate better performance. –SPECplb results (gra. PHIGS) - PLBwire 93 and PLBsurf 93 are geometric means of literal and optimized Picture Level Benchmark (PLB) tests for 3 D wireframe and 3 D surface tests, respectively. Larger values indicate better performance. –SPECopc results - Viewperf 7 (3 dsmax-01, DRV-08, DX-07, Light-05, Pro. E-01, UGS-01) and Viewperf 6. 1. 2 (AWadvs-04, DRV-07, DX 06, Light-04, med. MCAD-01, Pro. CDRS-03) are weighted geometric means of individual viewset metrics. Larger values indicate better performance. The following graphics benchmarks reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory subsystem, graphics adapter and disk subsystem. –SPECapc Pro/Engineer 2000 i 2 results - PROE 2000 I 2_2000370 was developed by the SPECapc committee to measure UNIX and Windows workstations in a comparable real-world environment. Larger numbers indicate better performance. The Notes. Bench Mail workload simulates users reading and sending mail. A simulated user will execute a prescribed set of functions 4 times per hour and will generate mail traffic about every 90 minutes. Performance metrics are: –Notes. Mark - transactions/minute (TPM). –Notes. Bench users - number of client (user) sessions being simulated by the Notes. Bench workload. –$/Notes. Mark - ratio of total system cost divided by the Notes. Mark (TPM) achieved on the Mail workload. –$/User - ratio of total system cost divided by the number of client sessions successfully simulated for the Notes. Bench Mail workload measured. Total system cost is the price of the server under test to the customer, including hardware, operating system, and Domino Server licenses.

IBM Power Systems Notes on Performance Estimates r. Perf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other p. Series 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 maximum memory available. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. r. Perf estimates are calculated based on systems with maximum memory and the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software. Actual performance will vary based on configuration details. The p. Series 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1. 0. Although r. Perf may be used to compare estimated 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. 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, 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. Revised June 25, 2003 102 © 2009 IBM Corporation
