The benchmark reflects my experience pretty accurately.
Some Caveats
1.) My vendor is Data General and DG has offically said that they do not support Linux in any way shape or form
2.) The hardware I'm running on is Intel based, but based on #1, getting Linux to even boot successfully is difficult.
Basically we have DG 3700's and 3800's (Basically 4-way Pentium Pro units, and 4 and 8 way Xeon units). The performance on them in testing is consistent with they described. BUT remember this key detail. How many Linux developers have access to type type of hardware? Espeically if the vendor has said they don't want Linux support.
Additionally, Dell has been somewhat anal at times about releasing specifications. But that server the 6300 is pretty common, I'm sure someone has access to a similiarly equipped machine that they can use to recreate the results.
Any takers? I've always wanted to find another outfit running DG hardware under Linux but I don't think it exists.
