HP Publishs First Linux TPC-C Benchmarks
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.
There was a followup message on the lkml from hp discussing how these numbers can improved even further, you can see it at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=103 237327405644&w=2
