Schmidt , Monica S. Lam , J. Duane Northcutt ✽ Computer Science Department, Stanford University {bks, lam}@cs.stanford.edu ✝ Sun Microsystems Laboratories [email protected] Abstract 1 Introduction Taking the concept of thin clients to the limit, this paper Since the mid 1980’s, the computing environments of proposes that desktop machines should just be simple, many institutions have moved from large mainframe, stateless I/O devices (display, keyboard, mouse, etc.) that time-sharing systems to distributed networks of desktop access a shared pool of computational resources over a machines. This trend was motivated by the need to provide dedicated interconnection fabric — much in the same way everyone with a bit-mapped display, and it was made as a building’s telephone services are accessed by a possible by the widespread availability of collection of handset devices. The stateless desktop design high-performance workstations. However, the desktop provides a useful mobility model in which users can computing model is not without its problems, many of transparently resume their work on any desktop console. which were raised by the original UNIX designers[14]: This paper examines the fundamental premise in this “Because each workstation has private data, each system design that modern, off-the-shelf interconnection must be administered separately; maintenance is technology can support the quality-of-service required by difficult to centralize. The machines are replaced today’s graphical and multimedia applications.

  • SPEC SFS Performance on Eserver Pseries Systems Page 1 IBM ~ Performance Technical Report
    IBM ~ Performance Technical Report SPEC SFS Performance on eServer pSeries ™ Systems Agustin Mena III February 5, 2002 ©2002 International Business Machines Corporation, all rights reserved SPEC SFS Performance on eServer pSeries Systems Page 1 IBM ~ Performance Technical Report Abstract A common use of UNIX® servers is in fileserving environments, specifically those using the Network File System (NFS) protocol [1, 2]. SPEC SFS 3.0 is an industry standard benchmark for measuring and comparing NFS server performance across a variety of file server vendors’ systems. Based on recently published SPEC SFS 3.0 results, the IBM® eServer pSeries™ 690 running AIX® 5L Version 5.1 proves to be an excellent choice for customers interested in a general-purpose UNIX server with outstanding performance in a large-scale NFS environment. The p690 results published in December 2001 are the highest of any SMP system in the industry. Also, the recently published (January 2002) IBM eServer pSeries 660 6M1 8-way results showcase this system as an excellent midrange NFS server. This white paper discusses the benchmark, the system configurations used, and details of the results and how they stack up against the competition. The SPEC SFS 3.0 Benchmark SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) SFS (System File Server) 3.0 is the most recent version of the industry standard SPEC benchmark which provides a means of comparing NFS server throughput and response time performance across different vendor platforms [3]. The benchmark is client-independent and vendor neutral. The results must conform to a set of run and disclosure rules. It is this set of rules that ensure that customers have a reasonable standard to compare and contrast the results across different vendor systems.
