HP Superdome with Oracle9i database performs well on Data Warehousing benchmarkRedwood Shores 06 August 2001 Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) ) and Oracle announced a record-breaking data warehousing benchmark for the HP Superdome server, Oracle9i Database and the HP Surestore disk array XP512.
This new single-system 1,000 GB TPC-H benchmark beats the IBM RS6000 SP550 clustered system - while using half the number of processors - and delivers the best performance per central processing unit (CPU) against results from IBM, NCR and Sun Microsystems.
It also surpasses the HP Superdome server's previous world record by 35 percent.
A single-system 1,000 GB TPC-H benchmark of 13,160 queries per hour (QphH) was set, with a price performance of $713/QphH and an expected shipment availability date of Sept. 5. The TPC-H benchmark is an industry-standard test used to measure the capability of a system to execute complex ad-hoc queries against large databases. It is a real-world performance test for decision support and data warehousing applications.
The test was performed on a PA-RISC 8600-based HP Superdome server with 64 processors running HP-UX 11i, 128 GB of memory, four HP Surestore disk arrays XP512 and Oracle 9i Database.
