HP Publishs First Linux TPC-C Benchmarks

Posted by chrisd on from the the-benchmark-with-a-shady-past dept.

The first ever official TPC-C benchmark on a Linux system has been published. This was run on a cluster of 32 HP servers with Intel Xeon CPUs, running Redhat Linux and Oracle RDBMS. The system had over 18 terabytes of storage, and cost over 2 million US dollars. Performance was higher than a similar system running on MS Windows.

    Every couple of years, Microsoft completely changes their computing paradigms to ape what they perceive is a threat from some other company, and when the threat is gone, they just drop the initiative and move on to the next thing.

    Who the fuck mods this blather up as insightful?

    I can still run 16 bit DOS programs on windows. I can still use DDE for IPC. COM and COM+ haven't gone away with .NET. The Win32 API seems to have grown quite a few "Ex" appendages to API calls, but it hasn't changed since Win32s -- a forward compatibility hack for Win16 that still works even now. Why don't you present just some trivial little shred of evidence that you have any idea what you're talking about?
