Web Server Performance - WebBench* 5

Benchmark Description for SPECweb*2005: SPECweb2005 emulates users sending browser requests over broadband Internet connections to a web server. It provides three new workloads based on analysis of web server logs and studies of sites from the web browser side – banking site that transfers encrypted information using HTTPS; an e-commerce site that uses unencrypted HTTP when browsing and secure HTTPS when the user enters the shopping cart; and a vendor support site that provides downloads – such as driver updates and documentation – over HTTP.

Benchmark Description for WebBench* 5: WebBench uses PC/Windows clients to send requests to the server for static files that you place on the server when you install WebBench or for a combination of static files and dynamic executables that run in order to produce the data the server returns to the client. These clients simulate Web browsers. When the server replies to a client request, the client records information such as how long the server took and how much data it returned and then sends a new request. When the test ends, WebBench calculates two overall server scores - requests per second and throughput in bytes per second as well as individual client scores.

Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit Intel Performance Benchmark Limitations.

Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.

SPECint*2000/SPECint*2006 and SPECfp*2000/SPECfp*2006 benchmark tests reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory architecture and compiler of a computer system on compute-intensive, 32-bit applications. SPEC benchmark tests results for Intel® microprocessors are determined using particular, well-configured systems. These results may or may not reflect the relative performance of Intel® microprocessor in systems with different hardware or software designs or configurations (including compilers). Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks; to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering purchasing.

64-bit Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, OS, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel EM64T-enabled OS, BIOS, device drivers and applications may not be available. Check with your vendor for more information.

Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor series, not across different processor sequences. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.

Intel products are not intended for use in medical, life saving, life sustaining, critical control or safety systems, or in nuclear facility applications. All dates and products specified are for planning purposes only and are subject to change without notice.

Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.
