Company’s software-defined composable server systems now lead SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark results by gap of up to 96% vs. competing solutions
FORT LEE, N.J.--(
BUSINESS WIRE)--ScaleMP™, a leading provider of virtualization solutions for high-end computing, today announced that it has accomplished best-ever recorded results for the
SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmark for any system size of four processors and higher. ScaleMP’s results for 32-, 24- and 16-processor systems are now holding the top three positions for best results ever.
In 2019, AMD and ScaleMP
announced a strategic collaboration to enable AMD server OEMs to create systems with four, eight and up to 128 processor sockets, up to 8,192 CPUs and 256 terabytes of shared memory using
ScaleMP’s vSMP Foundation line of products.
“We are extremely pleased with these new benchmark results, which show superiority across the board,” said Shai Fultheim, founder and CEO of ScaleMP. “Customers can now scale their systems on demand for more computing or more memory, pay only for what they need, and be sure that they are buying the best and most cost-effective solution available that delivers the best performance.”
“ScaleMP’s unique software-defined server technology enables AMD to capture the leading positions for the system-scale SPEC CPU2017 benchmark without any custom engineering,” said Raghu Nambiar, corporate vice president, Datacenter Ecosystems & Application Engineering at AMD. “Through our collaboration with ScaleMP, we expect to continue to dominate the scale-up benchmarks as this innovation continues.”
The following table summarizes the current best
SPEC CPU2017 Integer Rates and
SPEC CPU2017 Floating Point Rates for every scale of server system and contrasts it with the previous best system/result for that scale.
