"I just checked out SGI's recent tpc-d announcement and found an 8-way 250 MHz R10K Origin system running Oracle 8 did significantly worse than a 4-way Pentium Pro system running NT and Oracle 8. So how are you faster again? 1. We're running 8.03. The only other 8.03 mark that I know of is Data General, whom we beat quite well. " Justin, I am trying to find that data you refered to.. I went to the TPC homepage and looked at the TPC-D results. The only one I see for SGI is a TPC-D for 100 GB filesystem where an 8 processor Origin got a 799.9. The DG AViiON 32 processor ccNUMA machine received a 3305.8 on the 300 GB database. If you assume the ORIGIN scales perfectly and lets forget that the data is from a 100 GB database not a 300 GB database, that would say that a 32 processor origin would receive about a 3200 tpc-d..... You wouldn't be comparing an older AViiON with less processors against a new Origin.. That's what you guys say that those bad guys at Apple and SUN do to you and I know you wouldn't do that. ;-) I would like to know what tpc-d data you are talking about. THop
