Tim, Thanks for the additional information.
An idea on the 'list price' cost of the target p590 system "with 64 dual core CPUs and 124GB memory" would be helpful, also information on how this was achieved, particularly as the IBM web-site says the p590 maxes out at 32 CPUs (2 'books' of 2 8-chip MCMs) ;-) Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Timothy Snyder > Sent: Wednesday, 23 November 2005 03:46 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [U2] 15,200 users attained on IBM's U2 UniVerse > > "David Jordan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 11/22/2005 12:02:04 AM: > > > I am also curious if the transactions were simple or complex transactions. > > Each of the 10,000 users was performing a variety of transactions, some > simple and some complex, all typical of real life for the proposed system. > > There were 30 individual activities in the scenario, designed to provide > a simulation of the proposed production work load.
