Java Benchmarks - AS/400 Kicks - A#$

[jpcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Look at this.   I think you should send this post to every writer of every
magazine and ask why they haven't written something on it.    Just a
Thought.

On the other hand, If the AS/400 is just another computer to you,  ignore
this post.

IBM's AS/400e Model 840 server is the first to achieve a six-digit score on
Volano LLC's VolanoMarkTM 2.1.2 local performance benchmark. In testing
performed by IBM following the VolanoMark run rules, a 24-way AS/400e Model
840 server with 4GB of memory handled a record 108,153 messages per second
using 200 concurrent connections -- more than four times faster than Sun's
E6500 22-way server with 30GB of memory running the Solaris operating
environment.
