11
The following scenarios were tested:
 Server blade configured with the AMD Opteron processor Model 6174, 6164 HE, 6136, and
6128 HE
 HP SBC test environments
– 64-bit: 6174, 6164 HE, 6136, 6128 HE
– 32-bit: 6174, 6136
Configured with processor Model 6174
An HP ProLiant BL465c G7 server blade featuring the AMD Opteron processor Model 6174 was
tested in 64- and 32-bit HP SBC test environments.
64-bit test environment
Perfmon values and canary times are presented.
Perfmon values
HP ran a performance test using a workload based on the Heavy User profile. Figure 3 shows select
Perfmon values during this test run; Figure 4 presents normalized results.
Figure 3. % Processor Time values – showing that 487 Heavy Users were supported when processor utilization reached 80%
Figure 3 shows the optimal number of Heavy Users supported by the bare-metal HP ProLiant BL465c
G7 server blade to be 487.
HP noted that, as the test run progressed, processor queue length started to increase steadily and
never emptied. With approximately 500 users logged on (that is, more than the optimal number),
there was a marked increase in queue length.
