Oracle breaks another TPC-H world speed record

 

Sun Microsystems broke a new world’s record data warehouse (TPC-H) benchmark using a high-powered 5.7 million dollar server with 72 CPUs, with an astonishing 1,500 query-per-Hour Performance Metric (QphH@Size):

http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2006_jan/tpch_sun_013006.html?msgid=4580463  

“Running on a single Sun Fire™ 25K server with 72 UltraSPARC IV+ 1.5 GHz processors and the Solaris™ 10 Operating System (OS), Oracle Database 10g Release 2 with Automatic Storage Management achieved a record-breaking performance of 105,430.9 QphH@3000GB with a price-performance ratio of $54.87/QphH@3000GB. Oracle Automatic Storage Management . . . "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 repeatedly demonstrates its superior fit in demanding data warehouse environments, " said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance, Oracle. "The addition of this benchmark helps to prove that no matter how much our customers' data warehouses grow, the Oracle Database will continue to deliver the best, most consistent database performance." 

The benchmark details are published here: 

http://www.tpc.org/tpch/results/tpch_result_detail.asp?id=106012701

http://www.tpc.org/results/FDR/tpch/sun_fire_e25k_3tb_012706_fdr.pdf

In the TPC-H disclosure report we see the Oracle initialization parameters and these chosen high-performance settings: 

  • 32k blocksize
  • 50g PGA region size
  • 90g SGA target

Here is their listing of the Oracle and Solaris parameters used in this benchmark:
