A TESTING organisation has released a benchmark to simulate small business transactions, and the first system churned out 17,000 TPMs at $0.18 per transaction per minute.

Neal Nelson & Associates, a Chicago consulting firm, devised the Small Business Transaction Benchmark (SBTB), and tested a Tyan S2881 mobo, two AMD 256 Opterons, and two Seagate Cheetah 15,000 RPM Ultra 320 SCSI disk drives.

The benchmark is a client server test using web browser pages for input. Neal Nelson & Associates said it is an independent testing organisation that conducts tests in the Chicago area for commercial and government users.

A white paper describing the benchmark can be found here. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
