I'm not sure that I follow your argument. The T1000's architecture favors workloads that have many parallel tasks that involve data throughput. The Xenon is going to have a better showing for straight number-crunching work. If your webserver benchmark is trying to measure the throughput for a few clients that perform simple tasks, then I can understand why you might expect the Xenon to do better. However, if you're trying to measure a workload that has many clients and measures in ops/sec, the T1000 may well do better. -j _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
