White Paper ⏐Performance Report PRIMERGY TX150 S6 Version: 5.1, November 2008

The measured SPECfp_rate_2006 results are 4-9% above the SPECfp_rate_base2006 results.

The following four tables show results, in which all benchmark programs were compiled with the Intel C++/Fortran com-

piler 10.1 and run under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (64-bit). Significantly higher results were achieved with the

Intel C++/Fortran compiler 11.0 than would have been expected with version 10.1. In principle, this should also apply for

other processors of the PRIMERGY TX150 S6.

When comparing the PRIMERGY TX150 S6 and its predecessor the PRIMERGY TX150 S5 both in their highest per-

formance configurations, an increase is noted in the integer test suite of +127% with SPECint_rate_base2006 and

+154% with SPECint_rate2006. In the floating point test suite the increase is +92% with SPECfp_rate_base2006 and

+102% with SPECfp_rate2006.
