Thinking about IBM LS42 performance

IBM Leadership Benchmark Results and the Art of Fencing
Sometimes you eventually get to the place you wanted to go, but not exactly in the way you expected.

And that’s what I think happened this morning. You see, earlier today somebody in Brazil, wanting to find out more about IBM System x performance, happened to google the words “fencing x3650 ibm.” And linked to what came up first. Which was this blog.

My guess is that they were talking about something like CPU or memory fencing. Certainly not the NCAA sport that I happened to discuss in this blog earlier this year. You know, the kind with the foil, sabre, or épée, and the scary helmet.

I was doing some research for the IBM LS42 and came across this post with some good links to benchmarks for the blade as well as some links to information about their new quad-core AMD blades/servers. Do check it out.
