Financial application performance on Black-Scholes

 
A Flash plug-in is required to view this chart. Click here to view the table version of this page.


Description for Black-Scholes

The Black-Scholes* kernel workload is based on a financial modeling algorithm for the pricing of European-style options. After its publication in 1973 by Fisher Black, Myron Scholes, and Robert Merton, its impact was enormous and rapid. The benchmark consists of a kernel that implements a derivative of the Black and Scholes technique. SunGard developed the code, which uses a continuous-fraction technique that is more accurate than the traditional polynomial approximation technique. The test produces the time, in seconds, the server took to complete the workload; lower completion times are better.

Description for IBM DB2 and TPoX* benchmark

IBM DB2 9.5 for Linux*, UNIX* and Microsoft Windows* extends and improves the industry leading capabilities introduced in IBM DB2 9. It builds on the flexibility and power of pure XML by simplifying both development and the administration of XML in IBM DB2. IBM DB2 9.5 now integrates workload management functionality into the database engine. This new technology allows DBAs to have full control over how and which workloads run in their databases, and to manage them based on the needs of their business.

Transaction Processing over XML (TPoX) is an application-level XML database benchmark based on a financial application scenario. It is used to evaluate the performance of XML database systems, focusing on XQuery, SQL/XML, XML storage, XML indexing, XML Schema support, XML updates, logging, concurrency and other database aspects. TPoX simulates a security trading scenario and uses a real-world XML Schema (FIXML) to model some of its data.

Description for QlikView application

The QlikView HWE-test application is an analysis of sales and channel data. The application is used by QlikTech to perform hardware platform tests in order to see how the QlikView in-memory technology scales in terms of data volume and number of concurrent users. The application is loaded with 100 million unaggregated records of sales data where the transaction table holds 9 fields. Linked to the transaction table are 7 mapping tables, and all in all the application holds 39 fields. During the test sequence 4 multidimensional analytic graphs are calculated, each with 1-3 metric expressions. For each graph and metric, QlikView makes a real-time calculation across 98,114,201 records held in memory. The result is measured in CPU time across all available cores and real time which is the actual time it takes for the system to perform the test.

Description for Neusoft MIS benchmark

Neusoft medical insurance management information system (MIS) implements security management for medical insurance carried by government organizations. By monitoring the use of medical funds, it ensures security in government social medical insurance systems. HP LoadRunner* stressing tool with a Neusoft workload simulates 6 client operations including Residents Plan login/submit, Medical Credit Card login/read/quancun, and data transfer. In the test, Intel used 4 PCs to drive the application server of medical insurance MIS. Performance metric is response time, the shorter the better.

Description for TianJian benchmark

TianJian is the leading software vendor for the healthcare industry in PRC, while TianJian HIS* is one of the main software products developed by this independent software vendor which provides integrated information management for hospitals. It aims to provide efficient and effective solutions to clinic, inpatient, billing and decision-supportive services to local hospitals. The stressing tool is HP LoadRunner, and the workload is developed by TianJian to simulate a typical concurrent scenario including 7 operations related to clinic, inpatient wards and billing during "rush-hour" in a large-scale hospital. The test used 2 servers to drive the database side of TianJian HIS, and the performance metrics were weighted average responsive time of those operations, the shorter the better.
