TPM Benchmark Results

heb — Fri, 27 May 2005 08:42:56 GMT

I'm trying to locate benchmark results relating to a HP 9000/800/N4000-75 server running HP-UX 11.00. This old server has 4 750 Mhz CPU's and I would like to find out the TPM for these. Can anyone either provide this info or better still point me to a reliable site that can give me this info. Thanks

TPM's don't mean much in the real world though!

I'm only using the results as a guide as I'm hoping an upgrade is forthcoming. Just trying to compile a case for the upgrade and using TPM results as one of many selling points. An independant site would also be useful. Cheers

If they are not there, then they have been widthdrawn or were never published. I'm sure HP never published one with only 4 of the 8 processors. Your configuration will never be the same as what they do to max out those benchmarks, so it isn't a good number. How much additional performance do you want from your new system? Where are your current bottlenecks (I/O, RAM)? TPC-C are sensitive to RAM. What storage do you have currently? Over time the benchmarkers have developed many tricks to improve performance of the TPC-C, that weren't applied to the older benchmarks, so the number comparisons don't tell much.
