Performance NotesThe performance information contained herein is current as of the date of this document. All performancebenchmark values <strong>and</strong> estimates are provided “AS IS” <strong>and</strong> no warranties or guarantees are expressed or impliedby <strong>IBM</strong>. Buyers should consult other sources of inform ation, including system benchmarks, to evaluate theperformance of a system they are considering.rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commerc ial processing performance relative to other <strong>IBM</strong> UNIX®systems. It is derived from an <strong>IBM</strong> analytical model which us es characteristics from <strong>IBM</strong> internal workloads, TPC<strong>and</strong> SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any sp public benchmark results <strong>and</strong>should not be reasonably used in that way. The model si mulates some of the system operations such as CPU,cache <strong>and</strong> memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations.rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the la test levels of AIX <strong>and</strong> other pertinent software at thetime of system announcement. Actual performance will va ry based on application <strong>and</strong> guration speci cs. The<strong>IBM</strong> eServer pSeries® 640 is the baseline reference sy stem <strong>and</strong> has a value of 1.0. Although rPerf may beused to approximate relative <strong>IBM</strong> UNIX commercial proc essing performance, actual system performance mayvary <strong>and</strong> is dependent upon many factors including sy stem hardware guration <strong>and</strong> software design <strong>and</strong>guration. Note that the rPerf me thodology used for the POWER6 processor- based systems is identical to thatused for the POWER5 processor-based systems. Variati ons in incremental system performance may be observedin commercial workloads due to changes in the underlyi ng system architecture. For additional information aboutrPerf, contact your local <strong>IBM</strong> or <strong>IBM</strong> authorized reseller.Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of systems running the <strong>IBM</strong> ioperating system. Performance in client environments ma y vary. The value is based on maximum gurations.Please refer to the “<strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Performance Capabilities Reference—<strong>IBM</strong> i operating system Version6.1” at the following Web site for a complete descrip tion of CPW <strong>and</strong> the CPW ra ting for <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>.(ibm.com/systems/i/advantages/perfmgmt/pdf.pcrm.pdf )All performance estimates are provided “AS IS” <strong>and</strong> no wa rranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by<strong>IBM</strong>. Buyers should consult other sources of informat ion, including system benc hmarks <strong>and</strong> application sizingguides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. Actual system performance mayvary <strong>and</strong> is dependent upon many factors including sy stem hardware guration <strong>and</strong> software design <strong>and</strong>guration. <strong>IBM</strong> recommends application-oriented testi ng for performance predictions.
