I looked at the article. Very interesting. Unless I missed something though, I'm not sure we can say for sure whether or not the database was clustered -- running flat out oracle or OPS the way the Sequent boxes did. It seemed very coy with all details of the test.
Does Linux support NUMA?
Anyway, still a ways to go to catch IBM. 32-way power 4 @1700Mhz w/ DB2 scored 764,000. November availability. Anyone want to give me $6,349,223 so I can buy one and run my own tests?
Eh, Sun has me sufficiently brainwashed that I ignore TPC-C. I'd still take the six mill though.
Incidently, Oracle on Linux/x86 has really been improved. Oracle 8.1.7.4 was a step backwards from 8.1.7.3, which wasn't itself so hot. But 9i is really sexy...
