Performance Evaluation With SPEC CPU® 2017 Integer Rate Energy Base
The SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmark, developed by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), is one of the most widely recognized industry-standard suites for measuring computer system performance. This suite evaluates how effectively a system handles various integer-based workloads, which are critical for many applications.
Additionally, SPEC CPU® 2017 features an optional metric for assessing energy consumption. The SPECrate® 2017_int_energy_base score reflects a system’s computational throughput relative to its energy usage, providing valuable insights for informed decision-making regarding server investments and energy efficiency.
This report presents comprehensive findings from Infobell IT's extensive and independent performance benchmarking of the SPECrate®2017 Integer Energy test suite. Our evaluation focused on three high-performance server configurations, highlighting their energy efficiency and computational capabilities. The systems benchmarked include the Supermicro® SYS-221H-TNR equipped with dual Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8592+ processors, the Supermicro® Hyper A+ Server AS-2125HS-TNR featuring dual AMD EPYC™ 9654 processors, and the Supermicro® Hyper A+ Server AS-2126HS-TN with dual AMD EPYC™ 9965 processors. By analyzing these configurations, we aim to provide insights into their performance characteristics and energy consumption, contributing to informed decision-making in server selection for energy-sensitive applications.
The servers evaluated are:
| Server | Processor |
|---|---|
| Supermicro® SYS-221H-TNR | Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8592+ (2 chips, 128core) |
| Supermicro® Hyper A+ Server AS -2125HS-TNR | AMD EPYC™ 9654 (2 chips, 192 cores) |
| Supermicro® Hyper A+ Server AS -2126HS-TN | AMD EPYC™ 9965 (2 chips, 384 cores) |
