Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors Web Tier Benchmarks
Accelerate Web Tier Runtime Workloads with New Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
Accelerate your web tier processing by serving more requests and supporting more users in server scripting applications (PHP/Hack/Node.js/Python) with new Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
Web Tier Workloads are server applications that deliver static and dynamic content. Dynamic content is typically built by a server application written in a modern runtime language such as PHP/Hack/Python/Node.js* in response to a specific request from the client, while talking to the database. These workloads measure performance in throughput (Number of requests per second).
Using new Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors
- Customers gain throughput improvement
- Customers can support more users per server than previous generation E5 platforms
All performance measurements are accurate as of July 11 2017.1
Python Django* Workload on Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
The Django Workload uses the Python Django* Web framework to model a Web server application that serves mobile clients. It implements 5 weighted views with a client load generator simulating a realistic mix of payloads that are seen in real-world Web server products. The Django-based application serves client requests through a uWSGI server. On the server side, the uWSGI server talks to a Cassandra database and a Memcached object caching server. The use of a caching server reduces some of the object-access pressure from uWSGI and the database. This reflects realistic use cases of Python in large Web deployments such as Instagram.
WordPress* PHP/HHVM* on Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL*. WordPress is reportedly the most popular website management or blogging system in use on the Web supporting more than 60 million websites. PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development & PHP 7.1 and HHVM* are the runtimes for executing it. This workload uses a client load generator along with a MySQL* database to simulate a real WordPress deployment.
Node.JS* on Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Ghost.js is an open source blogging platform written in Node.js. Node-DC-EIS is an open source benchmark for Node.js modeling various functionalities of Employee Information Services. Both the workloads have a client load generator along with a database to simulate a Node.js deployment.
Product and Performance Information
Benchmark results were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates intended to address exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown". Implementation of these updates may make these results inapplicable to your device or system.
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
