Based on IBM internal testing of single system and OS image running Yahoo Cloud Services Benchmark (YCSB) 0.6.0, 1M record workload at 50/50 read/write factor. Conducted under laboratory condition, individual result can vary based on workload size, use of storage subsystems & other conditions.
IBM Power System S822LC for BD; 20 cores (2 x 10c chips) / 160 threads, POWER8; 2.92 GHz, 256 GB memory, MongoDB 3.3.4, RHEL Competitive stack: HP Proliant DL380 Gen9; 28 cores (2 x 14c chips) / 56 threads; Intel E v4; 2.6 GHz; 256 GB memory, MongoDB 3.3, RHEL Both server priced with 2 x 1TB SATA 7.2K rpm HDD, 1 Gb 2-port, 2 x 16gbps FCA. Configurations represent the highest processor frequency for that specific processor running the MongoDB server on 1 socket & the YCSB application workload on the 2nd socket. RAM disk was used to focus testing on processor technology differences.
Pricing is based on web pricing for S822LC and HP DL380 Gen9 MongoDB Page: 6
Note: This chart compares 16-c S822LC to the 24c HP DL380.
Internal tests using both RAM disk and IBM Flash system were very similar which demonstrates 1) Flash 900 is very capable i/o sub system for this workload 2) The relative performance result should remain consistent when both Power8 and x86 using the same type of i/o.
