ScaleMP ranks among fastest worldwide on SPEC benchmarks

CUPERTINO, USA: ScaleMP, a leading provider of virtualization solutions for high-end computing, has announced record-breaking benchmark results for x86 systems using the company’s vSMP Foundation software. vSMP Foundation claimed top three results for two Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) benchmarks, representing the highest performance in cloud-enabled x86 shared memory systems.

vSMP Foundation enables customers to create shared-memory systems from their cloud-enabled datacenters, providing applications with large memory and shared memory for the lowest TCO. This solution provides the most power-efficient SMP system, leveraging commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. The on-demand nature of vSMP Foundation improves system utilization and reduces management complexity.

ScaleMP benchmarking experts used 64 dual-socket nodes, aggregated into a single virtual shared-memory system to gain the record-breaking results for SPECint_rate_base2006, which achieved 13,600, receiving top three status for this benchmark and solidifying ScaleMP’s leadership in powering high-end x86 systems.

"vSMP Foundation’s outstanding results from its single, virtual solution aggregating multiple, industry-standard x86 machines proves once again its superior performance and cost savings for customers seeking a powerful and affordable shared-memory system," said Shai Fultheim, founder and CEO of ScaleMP.
