Fun with Heise.de - today: the SAP SD benchmark

Sunday, September 21. 2008

Why did i wrote the article about the "non-unicode/unicode" benchmarketing? Because of articles like this one: SAP-Benchmarkergebnisse für Intels neuen Hexa-Core-Prozessor. It´s frightning. The publications of the publisher Heise had a good reputation in the past. But they jumped the shark long time ago. They should really stay at testing displays and notebooks and something like that and Andreas Stiller should transform his "Prozessorgefluester" column into an independent blog. One of the highlights of the last few day - "Don´t understand the nature of benchmarks":

Bei den Vierprozessorsystemen konnte sich HPs ProLiant DL580 G5 mit Windows Server 2003 und Microsoft SQL Server 2005 mit 5155 SD-Usern(1,97 s, 25.380 SAPS) klar vor Suns Fire X4450 mit Solaris 10 und MaxDB 7.6 behaupten, das nur auf 4600 SD-User (1,94s, 23120 SAPS) kommt.

As i wrote before, the HP result of 25380 SAPS is a non-unicode result, the Sun result is based on a unicode installation. So dear Heise.de: Before drawing any conclusions from existing data, try to understand the data.

Da muss ich doch meinen Hut vor Herrn Stiller ziehen. Ich hatte mich ja ein wenig ueber die Bewertung der unterschiedlichen SAP-SD Benchmarks fuer die Hexacore Systeme echauffiert. Dies hat Herr Stiller nunmehr in der neuesten Ausgabe des Prozessorgeflues

This shows once again that the assumptions from http://www.247wallst.com/2008/06/the-247-wall-st.html are correct. It was a stupid decision, because nobody else offers unicode benchmarks. You cannot even compare the result to other server vendors.

There are a multitude of reasons for publishing unicode results. It´s the realistic number and the number the customers have to work with ...
