3Leaf Sets World Record for SPECjbb Benchmark Doubling the Speed of Nearest x86 System
Results Provide Initial Glimpse of the Benefits of 3Leaf technologies to Original Equipment Manufacturers
SANTA CLARA, Calif.-- 3Leaf Systems, a pioneer of technologies that enable dynamic clouds, today announced that an industry standard x86 system powered by 3Leaf technologies crushed the previous SPECjbb 2005 performance record of x86-based systems by a factor of two and set a new world record,
coming in #1 on the overall SPECjbb list. The winning system is powered by only 32 Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor Model 8384-based systems.
"This is a significant milestone for 3Leaf and a key indicator of the power of our technology," said Bob Quinn, chairman, founder and CTO. "The SPECjbb result provides a glimpse into the kind of game-changing competitive advantage 3Leaf technologies can provide to OEMs across a range of applications, all while using industry standard hardware and software."
"Made possible through 3Leaf Systems’ innovation, this record is a prime example of the performance that OEMs and customers can achieve by choosing AMD Opteron processor-based systems," said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation division, AMD. "AMD’s work with 3Leaf Systems focuses on driving a new standard for server-side Java performance, without compromising on that essential metric of total energy consumption."
Closely followed by customers in the enterprise and the industry’s leading OEMs in the highly competitive server marketplace, SPECjbb 2005 is the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation’s (SPEC) most current benchmark for evaluating the performance of server-side Java applications. Faced with intense competition and customer demands, OEMs need a new tool to lower costs and complexity while increasing agility and service levels. 3Leaf provides exactly such a tool.
