p5-570 16 1.65 68.40Notes:1) The rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and maximum memory available. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. 2) The rPerf results of IBM eServer p5 systems are based on AIX 5L V5.3 which supports simultaneous multi-threading. Simultaneous multi-threading results in a 30% boost in rPerf. For purposes of estimating rPerf for AIX 5L V5.2 on eServer p5 systems divide the published rPerf number by 1.3 and round down to the nearest 1/100th
