SPECweb99_SSL Result
===============================================================================
||
IBM : pSeries 630 Model 6E4 (1000MHz) || NC SPECweb99_SSL
Zeus Technology Ltd. : Zeus 4.0r2 ||
||
===============================================================================
SPEC has determined that this result was not in compliance with the
SPECweb99_SSL run and reporting rules. Specifically, the original tester
has discovered that performance of the SUT shipped to customers did not
achieve same results (within 5%) thus failing to meet the 3-month
availability requirement.

bindintcpu [interrupt level] [cpu] (Interrupt affinity - bind 4 Ethernet interrupts to 4 CPU's(1 interrupt to 1 cpu))
bindprocessor [process] [cpu] (Process affinity - bind 4 Zeus child processes to 4 CPU's(1 process to 1 CPU))
maxpgahead=64(the maximum number of pages to be read ahead,default=8)
minperm=5%(the point below which the page-stealer will steal file of computational pages,default=20%)
maxperm=95%(the point above which the page stealing algorithm steals only file page,default=80%)
4 different logs for 4 zeus instances (1 log per zeus instance) for dynamic requests
Disk layout: 1 disk for OS, 1 disk for webserver, 10 disks striped for file_set,1 disk for weblog
