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.

Data Center Performance Overview Web Tier Benchmarks Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors World Record Performance

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.
