The SERT suite 2

The SERT® standard is providing a first order of approximation of server efficiency across a broad range of application environments. It is designed to be economical and easier to use by utilizing a comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI) and predetermined sets of tuning parameters. The SERT suite has been implemented and tested for a variety of 64-bit processors, operating systems, and JVMs. It is scalable and tested up to a maximum of 8 processor sockets and a maximum of 64 nodes. The server under test (SUT) may be a single stand-alone server or a multi-node set of servers. A multi-node SUT will consist of server nodes that cannot run independently of shared infrastructure such as a backplane, power-supplies, fans, or other elements. These shared infrastructure systems are commonly known as blade servers or multi-node servers.
