This last weekend, we attained a new high number of users on a U2 database of 15,200 on a single system running an application!
Tim Snyder, Principle Consultant of the U2 Lab Services group, performed this formal benchmark at one of the IBM benchmark centers on an IBM p590 + 64 dual core CPUs for a total of 128 processors + 124gb memory (no, that's not a typo - that's all the benchmark center had available - odd number though) + 34 disk drives, striped with JFS2 on two FAStT controllers It required an IBM p570 divided into 4 LPARs (logical partitions) to push the load which simulated 30 different processes. It took 6 weeks of preparation before the 3 weeks to set up the simulation at the benchmark facility. The application was from Pacific Decision Sciences Corporation (www.pdsc.com). The database had over 1 billion records in it. We thought this was pretty cool. And yes, people are dancing in Denver! Steve Stephen M.
