In server to server comparison, R940 with 110 cores reduced running time by 37% for the tested configurations (Figure 4).
Also, the scaling over various input sizes with a fixed number of cores shows nearly linear behavior on R940 as shown in Figure 5.
Although scaling characteristic depends more on the quality of programs than hardware, this linear scalability over various data size
demonstrates PowerEdge R940 is optimally built for CPU/memory intensive applications.
Figure 4 Running time comparisons between R930 and R940 as in Table 1: 2 free cores
were reserved for both systems to avoid overstressing the systems.
Figure 5 Scaling over various data size with a fixed number of cores for R940: regardless of
the number of cores used, running time is linearly increased when the input data size grows.
