Oracle's SPARC T4-4 server running Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 achieved world record performance on the Unicode version of Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll (N.A) 9.1 extra-large volume model benchmark using Oracle Database 11g Release 2 running. The SPARC T4-4 server was able to process 1,460,544 payments/hour using PeopleSoft Payroll N.A 9.1. This result of 30.84 minutes on Payroll 9.1 is 2.8x faster than IBM z10 EC 2097 Payroll 9.0 (UNICODE version) result of 87.4 minutes and 3.1x faster than HP rx7640 Itanium2 non-UNICODE result of 96.17 minutes, on Payroll 9.0.

Oracle reports that its SPARC Enterprise M5000 server configured with eight 2.66 GHz SPARC64 VII+ processors together with Oracle's Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array storage achieved world record performance on the Unicode version of Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll (N.A) 9.1 with extra large volume model benchmark using Oracle Database 11g Release 2 running on Oracle Solaris 10. In setting this record, the SPARC Enterprise M5000 server processed payroll payments for the 500K employees PeopleSoft Payroll 9.1 (Unicode) benchmark in 46.76 minutes compared to a previous result of 50.11 minutes for the PeopleSoft Payroll 9.0 (non-Unicode) benchmark configured with 2.53 GHz SPARC64 VII processors resulting in 7% better performance, according to the Oracle release. The SPARC Enterprise M5000 server completed the end-to-end run in 66.28 mins, 11% faster than earlier published result of 73.88 mins with Payroll 9.0 configured with 2.53 GHz SPARC64 VII processors.

Running a sample application of the Avitek Medical Records and Oracle WebLogic Server 11g software, a configuration using Oracle SPARC T3-1B and SPARC Enterprise M5000 servers, the latter running the Oracle database, showed excellent scaling of different configurations. The configuration had 2.1x times the transactional throughput over the previous generation UltraSPARC T2 processor based Sun Blade T6320 server module. The SPARC T3-1B server shows linear scaling as the number of cores in the SPARC T3 processor used in the SPARC T3-1B system module are doubled, writes Brian Whitney in a BestPerf blog. He notes that the Avitek Medical Records application instances were deployed in Oracle Solaris zones on the SPARC T3-1B server, allowing for flexible, scalable and lightweight architecture of the application tier.
