mash@mips.UUCP (John Mashey) (09/13/87)
I recently acquired a copy of this document, dated 5/87, # 5954-9903.
Presumably it is available from local HP offices [a colleague picked
it up at a show in Australia, so I am of no further help in knowing
where to get it: perhaps some HPers reading this group can help].
It is a 40-page document that has a very broad, and generally
quite carefully done performance characterization of the 825S, 840S, and
850S. Here are the topics covered:
Multiuser/Application [pgm development, editing, Spice, CAE/CAD, HILO]
CPU performance [whetstone, linpack, dhrystone]
Competitive [Aim II, BYTE, kernel micro [UCB], iocall, UNIX commands]
HP-UX real-time benchmarks [interrupt response, i/o turnaround ,etc]
Database [FASTTRACK]
Data Acquisition [YEWCOM, disc access]
Network Services
Network Service Impact on Real-Time
Although I have a few minor nits, it seems generally a fine document
that does what it says it does, usually has enough info to let you
reproduce tests (for cases where it might make sense),
and has a nice mix between benchmarks that are accessible to a wide
audience and those that are more complex, and probably more
indicative of reality for the intended audience.
