On one of our v.Dedicated servers, we compared the benchmarks generated with UnixBench when compiled with the default GNU GCC (which is what almost 99% of all hosting/server providers use) vs Entic optimized Solaris native compiler. No tuning was done to UnixBench itself.
Here are the results for GCC run:
INDEX VALUES TEST BASELINE RESULT INDEX Dhrystone 2 using register variables 116700.0 4455048.7 381.8 Double-Precision Whetstone 55.0 887.5 161.4 Execl Throughput 43.0 626.2 145.6 File Copy 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks 3960.0 49992.0 126.2 File Copy 256 bufsize 500 maxblocks 1655.0 12987.0 78.5 File Copy 4096 bufsize 8000 maxblocks 5800.0 158381.0 273.1 Pipe Throughput 12440.0 323922.0 260.4 Pipe-based Context Switching 4000.0 39441.5 98.6 Process Creation 126.0 1144.9 90.9 Shell Scripts (8 concurrent) 6.0 164.0 273.3 System Call Overhead 15000.0 264727.8 176.5 ========= FINAL SCORE 166.5
and (drum rolls please…) for Entic’s optimized results:
