OLTP-2

Benchmark description

OLTP stands for Online Transaction Processing. The OLTP-2 benchmark is based on the typical application scenario of

a database solution. In OLTP-2 database access is simulated and the number of transactions achieved per second (tps)

determined as the unit of measurement for the performance of the system measured.

In contrast to benchmarks such as SPECint and TPC-E, which were standardized by independent bodies and for which

adherence to the respective rules and regulations are monitored, OLTP-2 is an internal benchmark of Fujitsu Technology

Solutions. The partially enormous hardware and time expenditure for standardized benchmarks has been reduced to a

reasonable degree in OLTP-2 so that a variety of configurations can be measured within an acceptable period of time.

Even if the two benchmarks OLTP-2 and TPC-E simulate similar application scenarios using the same workload, the

results cannot be compared or even treated as equal, as the two benchmarks use different methods to simulate user

load. OLTP-2 values are typically similar to TPC-E values. A direct comparison, or even referring to the OLTP-2 result as

TPC-E, is not permitted, especially because there is no price-performance calculation.

Benchmark results

The PRIMERGY TX150 S6 has been released with a large number of processor types. The following table is an over-

view which processors have been measured with the OLTP-2 benchmark.

All results were determined on the basis of the operating system Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition

and the database SQL Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition. OLTP-2 benchmark results depend to a great degree on the

configuration options of a system with hard disks and their controllers. Therefore, the system was equipped with two

dual-channel Fibre Channel controllers that were connected to a total of 180 hard disks via two FibreCAT CX500. See

the

Benchmark environment section for further information on the system configuration.

The diagrams below show the OLTP-2 performance data for PRIMERGY TX150 S6 separated in two groups: Celeron,

Pentium Dual-Core and Core 2 Duo processors and a second group with Xeon processors. There is a high increase of

+115% at Celeron to Pentium Dual-Core related to doubling the number of cores and the L2 cache size. The scaling over

all other processor types is about +3% to +25% and depends on processor- and front-side bus frequency increase, larger

number of cores and bigger L2 cache.
