Performance benchmarks?

Hello,
Has anyone done any performance benchmarking on Portal Server? (Or know
where I can find such information?)
I'm curious to know:
1. Given iPlanet's recommended hardware, how many concurrent users does
this support with decent performance (SSL to gateway to non-SSL server)?
2. How does the product scale...e.g. if I wanted to have 250 concurrent
gateway users (running SSL), what hardware is recommended? 500 users?
1000 users?
3. Has anyone tried (or does the product even support) the use of SSL
accelerator cards on the gateway machine?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Murray

Hi.
We did some benchmarking in january, at the SUN iforce center in holland,
using iPlanet Portal Server SP2 Hotpatch3.
We focused on measuring:
1) Average time to log in to portal(with default channels, netlet set up) as
a function of simultaneous users
2) Average time to do a "standard operation" inside portal.
Our results supported the numbers from iPlanet saying thath one could have
250 simultaneous "secure" users pr CPU in this setup. (SP2 HP3)
This "guaranteed" number of simultaneous users pr CPU for iPS 3 SP3 is said
to be increased to 1500.
We used SUN E 220 s with 2x450 MHZ CPUs and 1 G RAM.
The performance increased remarkable when we went from gateway and server on
1 machine, to separate gateway and server.

  • Are there any performance benchmark tools for Flash?

    I am looking to benchmark Flash on various computers that I use.  I was surprised that the performance of Adobe Flash on my Intel i5 computer running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS and IE 10 was MUCH WORSE than running on a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit on an Intel i3 computer running the same browser. 
    I have tried running both 32-bit IE and 64-bit IE and get the same general bad performance on the 64-bit Windows OS. I would like to find a tool to benchmark these various computers so that I can establish baseline performance while I explore finding a fix Adobe Flash on a 64-bit OS.
    Can someone suggest some tools for Flash performance benchmarking? Thank you.

    The best advise we can really give you is that both companies offer free trials and you should download them both and see which works best for you.  I own Parallels Desktop v6, and VMWare Fusion v3.  For me, VMWare s better for some things, but Parallels is better for most.  Depending on what you do and how you use your applications your milage may vary.
    One other note to keep in mind.  Since Apple is looking to release a new OS version in the very near future, you might want to hold-off a bit on our vitualization choice just yet.  I would exect that both companies will be working on a new release for support/compatibilty of the new MacOS, so you might want to wait to see if there are any other changes that make you want to lean towards one or the other...

  • Performance benchmarks Win XP

    Does anyone know if there are any performance benchmarks available for Windows XP (via Boot Camp) running on various different Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and iMac machines?
    I assume the more RAM, the greater BUS speed, the faster and more numerous the processors the better performance but I was looking for objective numbers to help me decide what system to buy.. I know that one of the PC site rated Windows on a Mac laptop very fast.

    Well, I don't know that anyone has run such benchmarks, but it's logical to assume that the faster the machine the faster XP will run on a Boot Camp installation since Windows is running natively on the hardware as though it were a normal PC. What's important to you - speed or mobility? If speed then get a Mac Pro. If mobility then get a MacBook Pro.

  • (268625273) Q WSI-29 Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?

    Q<WSI-29> Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?
    A<WSI-29>: It is very difficult to quantify performance aspects of web services
    since they depend on so many variables including but not limited to: backend system
    processing by stateless session beans and message driven beans, size of XML SOAP
    message sent, system hardware (CPU speed, parallel processing, RAM speed) and
    system software (JVM type and version of WebLogic server). However, let me point
    out that the EJB backend processing of requests both have the best possible scalability
    within the EJB2.0 specification (both stateless session and message driven beans
    can be pooled) and servlets have a proven scalable track record. Thus it should
    be possible to scale your web service deployment to meet demand. The overhead
    in processing XML within the servlet can be significant depending on the size
    of XML data (either as a parameter or a return type). While WLS6.1 does not have
    any features to address this performance concern, WLS7.0 will feature Serializer
    and Deserializer classes which can be dedicated to the XML to Java and Java to
    XML translation (they can also be automatically be generated from a DTD, XML Schema
    or regular JavaBean).
    It is true that web services are not the fastest way to process client requests
    but BEA is committed to making WebLogic server the fastest possible service provider.

  • Performance benchmarks within BPC

    Has anyone ever performed any benchmarks with BPC?
    I know there is such a wide spectrum of elements that go into benchmarking a BPC solution that most benchmarks can not easily be correlated to each other. (i.e., Platform, environment, dimensionality, hierarchies u2026) Any estimates would be a great benefit.
    Iu2019m hoping someone has performed some serious performance benchmarks such as;
    u2022 Data throughput, (time to submit data such as 1000 cells per minute).
    u2022 Query time, (x row by x column expansion and query).
    Thanks in advance for your input and assistance!

    Hi David,
    I agree with you about your point on performance benchmarks. However I don't know if you are already aware of the performance tuining guide available at:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9016a6b9-3309-2b10-2d91-8233450139c1

  • Any performance benchmarks Jserv and OC4J

    Are any performance benchmarks available for OC4J and Jserv?
    Satish

    I had the Seagate 100 GB, 7200 rpm drive in my previous MacBook Pro Core Duo. But when I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo recently, I opted for the 160 GB, 5400 rpm drive (I got an Hitachi) because I also found the older 100 GB drive to be a bit small for my needs.
    I was concerned about performance at first too, but after I got the new machine and used it for a while, I realized that the real world performance difference between the 5400 and 7200 drive was negligible at best (at least for the things I do, which includes some video editing, music production, software development, and games). In fact, I really couldn't tell the difference between the drives. And tests done by Bare Feats actually show that the 5400 rpm drive outperforms the 7200 rpm drive when you have 74 GB of data or more. (http://barefeats.com/mbcd7.html)
    So if you need the extra storage capacity, you can't go wrong with the new 160 GB, 5400 rpm drive. I highly recommend it.
    I hope this helps!

  • Performance Benchmarks for WL

    Does anyone know what the definition of a "Transaction" is in the performance benchmarks published by Bea?
    How many session bean calls, entity beans calls, etc.
    THanks

    If you want to stick with Sun jdk, and don't want to see the error
    messages, set weblogic.system.nativeIO.enable=false in
    weblogic.properties. I wouldn't go to NT, because if you can afford it
    Solaris on SPARC will be your fastest most reliable platform. We have
    Solaris SPARC for production, and do our development on Lintel. For us
    staying in a POSIX environment overall keeps things like startup,
    environment setting, and make type scripts all on the same page.

  • Performance, Benchmark for Oracle XE

    My buisness would like to use Oracle XE as a starter base installation for customers, so that they can easly upgrade to an full Oracle SE or EE later. However I fail to find benchmark tests (like tpc.org) which give an image of the performance of the Oracle XE and how it compares to other databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL in the smaller application market segment that XE is targeting.
    We have been running som tests in house, but the currently I must say they are not in the Oracle XE favour. This is disapointing, as we would want to avoid for our customers to start of with a DB other than Oracle, then do an transistion to Oracle SE or EE when the need is there.
    We are working on tuning/optimizing the database to perform better. Nevertheless it would be really interesting to see some benchmarks / comparison of the performance between Oracle XE an other DBMS in this segment of the DB market. Beeing well aware that their is not necessarely one database that fits each application/segment best, such a test would be informative. And also great input for my company when choosing which DB to use. Does anyone have any experience on this subject any feedback is highly appreciated. If anyone is interested I would be glad to post details regarding our tesing in house.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. Being well aware of the complexity of optimizing application performance I am simply trying to find as many inputs as possible to make a decision. A benchmark test would for me not yield "the truth" in any way, but simply be another parameter to consider. I am also aware that Oracle DB has several features that other DBs don't have.
    You hit the nail on you assumption:
    2) use only the very basic features of both DBsThis is correct. We are using a EJB3.0 (Hibernate) environment togheter with JBOSS 4.0.5 application server, using no specific DB implementation. I realize that at some point, to acheive max performance, one should would have to implement code optimized for a specific DB. But right now I am interested in maximizing the performance with no specific DB code. We started out using Oracle XE, and it was doing well. We than switched to Mysql mainly for curiousity, and the performance was much better "out-of-the-box". ( x 2,5!) using less CPU -20%) an memory than Oracle XE. This was a suprising result for me, and now I would like to know why.
    If the reason is that Oracle uses more resource for background processes like gathering statistics etc. this is a feasable explanation. Also in a larger system, if these processes take more or less the same resources, they would make out a smaller part of the total available resources. Right now I can't explain the performance gap, I simply observe the test results but cannot explain them.
    As my demands to the DB features are limited (basic ER datatypes, incremental backup), is there perhaps a way to "disable advanced features" of Oracle XE, so that more CPU power is available to the application?
    Also, how well does the JBOSS app. server integrate with the Oracle DB? Would the Oracle XE perform better with an Oracle App.server?
    My application has a typical web-app, having mainly read queries with a high peak load (burst). I have tried tuning the connection pool etc. but no improvment. It is quite possible that I have reached the limit of performance of the Oracle XE, perhaps I am trying to use it for something it was not intended for? Having said this I would prefer to continue using Oracle XE, but it would be nice to know the reasons for the difference in performance.
    Any feedback is highly appreciated.

  • Tuxedo 8.0 Performance Benchmarks

    Hi,
    I am using Tuxedo 8.0 on HP-UX 11i with Oracle 9i database.
    I have a distributed application archtecture wherein the various applications
    talk to each other though the Tuxedo Queues.
    The functionality is doing perfect but I now need to concentrate on the performance
    part of it.
    Can someone give me some information/pointers wherein I can get the benchmarks
    that BEA Tuxedo has set for similar applications and maybe some tips n guidelines
    to go about with regard to performance tuning.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vipul

    vipul,
    You can use time function call at multiple places
    to record the time response.this way you will be able
    to determine whether you need to tune the sqls or the tuxedo
    part whichever is taking more time .You may need to set the
    transaction timeouts properly according to the requirement.
    thanks

    Thanks Scott.
    The following are the characteristics of our application :
    We are using Tuxedo8.0 /Q for client to client communication.
    All the machines in the application are HP-UX 11.11
    We have three queues with maximum message capacity of 0.4 million
    messages. The length of the message will range from 70-2500 char.
    We have 2 WS client application which shall enqueue messages into the
    Tuxedo queues.
    The application which dequeues the messages uses Oracle9i as the resource
    manager
    and it uses two phase commit. The Tuxedo server is configured on this
    same machine.
    Is this information neway near to sufficient for you to give us a rough
    idea of
    the expected performance.
    If not please do lemme know what other informations should I detail out.
    Thanks,

    Vipul,
    There are going to be a lot of factors that influence the performance
    of
    your application. When you say Queues, I assume that you mean /Q, rather
    than ordinary IPC message queues.
    When using /Q, the factors that greatly influence performance include:
    Persistent or non-persistent storage
    Transactional two-phase commit involving the database
    Message size
    Raw disk
    TMQFORWARD usage (e.g., -f)
    Single machine, Multi-machine, or Multi-domain
    Just because I have measured 5000 /Q operations per second does notmean
    that you won't measure 50 per second with your own application. I was
    sending small non-persistent messages, while you might be sending large,
    persistent transactional messages.
    You will have to set up a mockup of your application, where you perform
    the actual database and /Q operations that your real application will
    be
    doing. Only then will you be able to determine its performance.
    If you describe all the characteristics of your application, then
    perhaps we can estimate if your performance will be closer to 10 or
    1000, but it will still be a wild guess.

  • Performance/ benchmarking web mapping

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any benchmarks, stress tests, performance tests on web mapping / (internet) GIS/ visualisation apps&tools - not neccesarily with Oracle Spatial as database.
    Stuff like redraws per second, point selections per second, maximum concurrent users (all for a standard dataset) is what I'm looking for. Descriptions of testprotocols would be interesting as well.

  • Performance Benchmarking for XMLDB

    Can anybody share any benchmarking figures on XML DB with respect to performance.
    regards,
    rizzy

    Oracle policy does not allow us to publish benchmarking numbers unless that are for an industry recognized independantly audited benchmarks such as TPC/C. Unfortunately there no industry standard benchmarks relating to XML data at this time. I can share with you that we believe for some classes of documents 9.2.0.3.0 will be much faster the 9.2.0.2.0. so if you are doing any performance evaluations of your own please make sure you have installed the 9.2.0.3.0 patch.

  • IOMeter or NAS Perf Tester (network performance benchmarks) for Mac?

    When I was on a PC-only home network, there were many network monitoring/testing tools like IOMeter And Intel NAS Perf tester. But I've been unable to find a network testing tool for the Mac. I'm interested in testing file creation/read/write speeds to/from my NAS.
    Does anyone know of something for the Mac?
    Also, I'm not afraid of using terminal, so if there's any built-in UNIX tools, or ones that are open source and can be compiled on OS X 10.6, I'm ok with that too.
    Thanks.

    I found something called HELIOS Lan Test. It seems to do the kinds of create/read/write testing I can use to benchmark my ReadyNAS NV+ file share protocols (CIFS, AFP, NETBIOS) to see which one is faster in my setup.
    I already have iStat Menus, and I can monitor performance with it in a rough sense (ie. watch the display when I'm copying a large file), but the HELIOS Lan Test is a much better repeaatble test for ongoing analysis.
