[comp.sys.dec] benchmark comparison of Sun, HP, DEC needed

mahoney@zeus.usq.EDU.AU (Barry Mahoney) (06/05/91)

I posted an article to comp.benchmarks a week ago and got a number of
requests to distribute the information I obtained but not too much of
the information I sort so here goes again:

I am interested in comparing the following systems

	Sun 4/470 or 490
	DEC 5500
	HP 9000/842 or 700 series

I would  be interested in benchmarks or arguments as to
why any one is better than any other. Our application is
to be DataBase (probably Ingres) so tp ratings (TPA and TPB)
would be nice. The DEC results are the ones we don't currently
have for TP.  If anyone has the AIM multiuser benchmark results
for HP I would be interested. We have them for Sun and DEC.

If anyone can tell me if Prestoserve has any benefits when
not running NFS I would also be interested.

Thanks,
