John -- here is the STREAM result for our new Blade product.
Peter Wong will submit the corresponding Linux measurements.

Could you please make this public as soon as possible? Please
tell me ASAP if there are any more details I need to supply.
Thanks,

      Measurements were made with a single blade (2 chips)
      POWER6 processors, 4.0 GHz, 2 cores per chip
      16 GB of Memory per blade: 4 x 4 GB DIMMs, DDR2 667MHz
      Primary Cache: 64 KB I + 64 KB D on chip per core
      Secondary Cache: 4 MB I+D on chip per core
      L3 Cache: None
      SMT is enabled

   OS & Environment:
      IBM AIX 5L V5.3, updated with the 5300-07 Technology Level.
      MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM
      OMP_NUM_THREADS=8
      XLSMPOPTS=startproc=0:stride=1
 
   C Compile:

Array size = 80000000, Offset = 0
Total memory required = 1831.1 MB.
Each test is run 10 times, but only
the *best* time for each is used.

Your clock granularity/precision appears to be 1 microseconds.
Each test below will take on the order of 86977 microseconds.
   (= 86977 clock ticks)
Increase the size of the arrays if this shows that
you are not getting at least 20 clock ticks per test.

WARNING -- The above is only a rough guideline.
For best results, please be sure you know the
precision of your system timer.
