Apache Benchmarks

In a web server configuration, Apache immediately becomes the HTTP daemon of choice for anyone using Linux. Apache’s ApacheBench is a relatively synthetic benchmark that can give us some baseline performance ideas without straying too far into the realm of artificial. We ran both configurations under 10 and 100 concurrent threads to demonstrate the number of requests per second that the server can handle.

ApacheBench 2.0.46: 10 Threads

ApacheBench 2.0.46: 100 Threads

Obviously, these requests only reflect static HTML requests, which is useful for servers like AnandTech that run on cached pages.

    I Wish I Had One

    That thing is a monster! I can't even think of something to do with that much power... It would be wasted on anything I throw at it, that's for sure. Good thing I don't have 22,000 to throw away...

    Wow...what a machine! I'd read the pathscale record setting previously, but it looks like HP has a real headache here...(Dell isn't even in the game...)

    Yea the benchmarks are missing. I'd also like to see some reviews of "cheaper" (by an order of magnitude or so) 1U/2U 1/2-way systems. It'll be interesting to see what happens when dual core goes live later this year. I'd love to get some 1U 2-way servers and stick dual core chips in them. 4 procs in a 1U housing. Yeah. Baby.

    #3: On the contrary. PPC runs embedded all the time.

    They don't work for me either. On another note, the PowerPC management board is interesting. I am familiar with the HP Integritry Management Board. I don't think it runs Linux. I wonder if AMD would be interested in making a management board based on the Geode processor. PowerPC seems a bit much.

    Are the database benchmark images not working for anyone else?

    That is a beast.
