    Why do i talk about this? Well ... there is an technology in ZFS, that allows you to work with probabilities to speed up things. It's the deduplication part. You can use it in a way, that doesn't verify bit-for-bit if a block is really identical to another before just storing a pointer to the already stored block.

    Just three years late ;-)

    The Power7 launch may be imminent, too. IBM invited to a series of events in Germany on this webpage. There is an event called "IBM POWER Vorstellung" and the headline is "Experience the next generation at the POWER event ...". Don't think, they will just announce a speed bump. And i was told, an earlier version of the page contained the 7. I'm really interested, if they will announce some prices (the Power7 is a large beast as far as i know, will be expensive), benchmarks (still thinking that the single thread will be slower, than at Power6 ... well ... Power7 is IBMs implementation of the basic CMT idea: more cores, but simpler cores ... no offence in this statement ;-) ) and if they will announce upgrade paths for older systems.

    Will be nice to make some competitive comparision based hard numbers, not just on informed assumptions.

    Ich möchte aber dies für eine Klarstellung nutzen: c0t0d0s0.org ist kein Technikblog.Es kommt vielen so vor, weil sie hier viele technische Dinge lesen. Dem ist aber nicht so. c0t0d0s0.org ist das Blog von Jörg Möllenkamp. Dieses Blog hat eigentlich kein Thema und ich behalte mir vor, ueber jedes Thema zu schreiben, das mir in den Sinn kommt. Wer das nicht lesen möchte, sei auf die Kategorien verwiesen, die dieses Blog thematisch untergliedern.

    Ich habe mich irgendwann dafür entschieden eher weniger private Dinge hier zu schreiben, weil mich in meiner Nische einfach zuviele Menschen mittlerweile kennen. Ich bitte zu entschuldigen, das dennoch manche Ereignisse dennoch den bei mir so viele Emotionen hervorufen, die dazu führen, das ich dann doch den Weg ueber das Blog suche, um diesen Lauf zu lassen. Das kommt vielleicht ein oder zwei mal im Jahr vor. Letztes Jahr die Horrorwoche, dieses Jahr die Trauer.

    Und ja: Ich bin ein Kind des Netzes. Mein erster Kontakt mit dem Internet war im Jahr 1992. Ich verwende es als natürlichen Teil meines Lebens.

    Jan Brosowski wrote about an interesting speculation in his blog article "Es liegt vor allem an Solaris", which could explain this development.

    His blog article is in german, thus i will summarize the interesting part here in english: There is a new rule in the SAP-SD benchmarking. When you have to separate the application server and the database server into two separate virtual machines (like using two LPARs) it isn't a 2-tier benchmark, it's a 3-tier benchmark. You could speculate, if IBM needs this separation to get all the horsepower of the large systems onto the street. Perhaps to have better control on used resources or just to improve the scalability of the system (perhaps you remember the TPC-H benchmark that used 32 IBM p570 nodes in a 32 system images configuration instead of a 8 system images configuration as you are able to connect 4 p570 nodes into a single system as an example of a strange benchmarking configuration that didn't used the scaling capabilities of a system). You could speculate if there's a scaling challenge in the IBM systems (in the HW or in the OS) when used with a single OS image. Such an challenge can be solved by using partitions. But with partitions activated, they couldn't submit a 2-tier SAP SD result.

    Well ... from my point of view i get more and more cautious when IBM tries to extrapolate the big systems performance in benchmarks by using the results of smaller systems even when they introduce a scaling correction factor. I would really like to see a SAP SD 2-tier result of a p595 or at least a full-blown p570.

More than enough storage for my presentations, there is an Keynote version on the device to make last-minute-changes with a display large enough to make changes, with a Dock2VGA cable you have 1024*756 (pretty much the standard for meeting room beamers) and it's lightweight. Would be nice to carry around just such a device instead of a full notebook. I want one ;-)

Just as an explanation: Early versions of the S7000 firmware used the usermode iSCSI target implementation. While usable it was somewhat slow compared. 2009.Q4 changed that by using the COMSTAR iSCSI target.

    Brendan was able to measure the impact of this change. The old implementation yielded 311 MByte/s and 37056 512-byte IOPS. The new implementation yielded 2.70 GByte/s and 318.099 512-byte IOPS. Albeit some of the performance increases are due to the move from Quadcore to Hexacore Opterons, i think Brendan is right with his statement at the beginning of the article:
    It would of course be better to split the results showing the COMSTAR and hardware update effects separately - but I only have the time to blog this right now (and I wouldn't be blogging anything without Joel's help to collect results.) I would guess that the hardware update is responsible for up to a 2x improvement, as it was for NFS. The rest is COMSTAR.
