System Performance
For anybody interested, the "torture test" I mention in the article comprises a batch of around 90 files (mailing list digests) and a Perl script. The script generates a makefile which diffs every pair of these files and gzips the result, then processes this with different -j values. The result gives the best time to completion, plus the energy consumed as W-Mins.
To date, my results are as below:
Qemu x86, 1 job, 390W 47m0.441s 18,330 Qemu ARM, 1 job, 390W 42m58.925s 16,757 Qemu MIPS, 1 job, 390W 17m49.103s 6,949 Hercules zSeries, 4 jobs, 390W 9m43.330s 3,790 UML, 1 job, 390W 8m26.529s 3,289 SPARCstation 20, 2 jobs, 130W (175VA) 8m12.582s 1,068 SPARCserver 1000E, 8 jobs, 550W (560VA) 1m51.926s 1,018 PS/2-77i, 4 jobs, 60W (95VA) 12m19.768s 740 Sun Ultra-1 170MHz 192Mb, 2 jobs, 89W (102VA) 6m32.867s 583 E4500 4x SMP 400MHz 2Gb 16 jobs, 484W (530VA) 0m56.201s 453 E4500 8x SMP 400MHz 4Gb 16 jobs, 772W (845VA) 0m31.025s 399 Compaq ProLiant 3000, 2 jobs, 275W (300VA) 1m27.038s 399 HP Vectra VL, 180MHz 96Mb, 1 job, 67W 5m35.479s 374 Sun Ultra-5 270MHz 256Mb, 2 jobs, 62W (119VA) 5m27.443s 338 Compaq ProLiant 1850R, 2 jobs, 182W (208VA) 1m3.195s 191 Sun Ultra-60, 2x 450MHz 2Gb, 8 jobs, 195W (210VA) 0m52.133s 169 Sun Ultra-10 400MHz 320Mb, 1 job, 75W (84VA) 1m46.917s 134 PowerMac G3, 333MHz 256Mb, 1 job, 45W (67VA) 2m31.750s 113 Compaq Deskpro ENS, 8 jobs, 57W (75VA) 1m59.107s 113 Compaq AP550, 2x 800MHz 768Mb, 8 jobs, 147W 0m43.924s 108 Compaq ProLiant ML530 G2, 2.8GHz, 3Gb, 8 jobs, 390W 0m12.170 79 Linksys NSLU2, 266MHz 32Mb, 1 job, 7W 6m35.014s 46
Note that in the case of Qemu, UML and Hercules the test does not examine the case of multiple guest systems running simultaneously on the host.
