Pentium II Xeon Performance

Compaq tested performance of Pentium II Xeon processors in the ProLiant 7000 server using two
. .
. . industry-standard benchmarks: the TPC-C benchmark test and the TPC-D version 1.3.1
. .
benchmark test. The TPC-C benchmark measures performance in an on-line transaction
. .
processing environment, while the TPC-D benchmark represents a broad range of decision
. .
. .
support (DS) applications that require complex, long-running queries against large complex data
. .
structures. Real-world business questions were written against this model, resulting in 17
. .
. .
complex queries.
. .
. .
Tables 1 and 2 show the configurations used for these benchmark tests and the performance
. .
. . results, which set new industry-wide performance levels for a single-node Intel-based system. For
. .
a full discussion of these benchmark results in comparison to published benchmark results for
. .
other 4-way and 8-way systems, read the Compaq Benchmark Summaries available at
