This document summarizes the SPECpower_ssj 2008 benchmark result for the ThinkSystem SR655 that was published on August 7, 2019. The document lists the result, summarizes the major components of the configuration under test, and provides the link to the relevant benchmark organization’s web site for details about the result.
Introduction
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 has set a new one-processor performance world record with a 2U rack server for the SPECpower_ssj 2008 benchmark.
The SPECpower_ssj 2008 benchmark is the first industry-standard benchmark that evaluates the power and performance characteristics of single server and multi-node servers.
The ThinkSystem SR655 server delivered the following SPECpower_ssj 2008 1-socket world record performance result for a 2U rack server:
- SPECpower_ssj2008 = 19,149 overall ssj_ops/watt
The SR655 was configured as follows:
- 1x AMD EPYC 7742 processor (64 cores, 2.25 GHz core frequency, 256 MB L3 cache)
- 128 GB of Lenovo TruDDR4 memory
- 1x 128GB M.2 SSD
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4
- Oracle Java HotSpot 64-bit Server VM, version 11.0.3 (JVM)
Results referenced are current as of August 7, 2019.
