This thread still begs the issue of benchmarking a representative business application across multilple platforms.
What application architecture runs across all platforms (z/series, intel, pseries) and operating systems (z/OS, Linux, Unix)? I'd like to suggest SAS. A SAS application that is both cpu and IO intensive would make an interesting benchmark, testing both the strengths and weaknesses of the various platforms and operating systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
