Java density performance comparison: Red Hat Kernel Virtual Machine with KSM vs. Microsoft Hyper-V on the Dell PowerEdge R710 solution We compared virtualized Java workload density performance of Red Hat KVM technology using Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V™ technology (Hyper-V) running on the same server-and-storage solution.

 

Virtualized database hypervisor scaling report: Red Hat Kernel Virtual Machine running on the Dell PowerEdge R710 solution We analyzed the scalability of virtualized online transaction processing (OLTP) performance of the Red Hat® Kernel Virtual Machine® (KVM) hypervisor technology.

 

Virtualized messaging hypervisor analysis on Red Hat Kernel Virtual Machine running on the Dell PowerEdge R710 solution We analyzed the virtualized messaging performance of the Red Hat® Kernel Virtual Machine® (KVM) hypervisor with VMs running Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

 

SPEC CPU2006 SPECint_rate performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Intel-based servers We tested two configurations: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running native on an Intel Xeon® X7460-based (2.66 GHz) server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running as a guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on the same server.

SPEC CPU2006 SPECfp_rate performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Intel-based servers We tested two configurations: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running native on an Intel Xeon® X7460-based (2.66 GHz) server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running as a guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on the same server.

SPECjbb2005 performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Intel-based servers We tested two configurations: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running native on an Intel Xeon® X7460-based (2.66 GHz) server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running as a guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on the same server.

SPEC CPU2006 SPECfp_rate_base performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and 3 AS Intel-based servers SPEC CPU2006 is an industry-standard benchmark created by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation to measure a system's floating-point processor performance. We measured the SPECfp_rate_base performance of three servers: a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 server on a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7140M-based (3.4 GHz) server, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server, and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server.

SPECjbb2005 performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and 3 AS Intel-based servers SPECjbb2005 is an industry-standard benchmark created by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation to measure a server's Java performance. We measured the SPECjbb2005 performance of three servers: a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 server on a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7140M-based (3.4 GHz) server, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server, and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server.

SPEC CPU2006 SPECint_rate_base performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and 3 AS Intel-based servers  SPEC CPU2006 SPECint_rate_base is an industry-standard benchmark created by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation to provide a comparative measure of compute-intensive integer performance. We used it to evaluate the performance of three servers: a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 server on a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7140M-based (3.4 GHz) server, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server, and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server.

Linpack performance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and 3 AS Intel-based servers  Linpack is an industry-standard benchmark that solves linear equations and uses the speed of the system under test at that task as a measure of the system's floating point performance. We used Linpack to evaluate the performance of three servers: a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 server on a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7140M-based (3.4 GHz) server, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server, and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server.

We gave the following presentation at Fall IDF in San Francisco on September 19, 2007:

Comparative performance test Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 AS on Intel-based servers Red Hat, Inc. and Intel Corp. commissioned us to compare the performance of three servers, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 server on a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7140M-based (3.4 GHz) server, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 guest on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server, and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 server on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X7350-based (2.93 GHz) server on three different workloads. This presentation, which we gave at Fall IDF in San Francisco on September 19, 2007, summarizes our findings.

We had previously published four reports comparing the performance of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Intel processor-based system and a Sun Solaris 10 AMD processor-based system. Sun required us to remove those reports.
