ScaleMP has achieved record-breaking benchmarking results for x86 systems using the company’s vSMP Foundation software.  vSMP Foundation claimed the top three results for the STREAM synthetic benchmark program that measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MB/s) in high-performance computers.  The result achieved for STREAM’s Triad function was just over 2.25 TB/s.

ScaleMP benchmarking experts used 64 systems, each equipped with two Intel Xeon X5650 running at 2.66 GHz and 96GB of RAM, aggregated into a single virtual shared-memory system to run the benchmark, receiving top 3 status for this benchmark. The official results can be viewed on STREAM’s web site:http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/top20/Bandwidth.html.

"vSMP Foundation aces yet another benchmarking milestone, after having achieved top ranking in SPEC CPU2006 just last month," said Shai Fultheim, founder and CEO of ScaleMP.  "These consistently superior results prove yet again the record-breaking performance vSMP Foundation offers its growing list of customers worldwide."
