IBM posts LS-DYNA benchmark results for quad-core x3455 server
September 10, 2007 ... IBM® today announced results for the IBM System x™ 3455 running the
LS-DYNA benchmark with the 3cars (3 vehicle collision) workload.
The x3455 server achieved an elapsed time of 31,526 seconds, which is better than the 32,578
seconds of elapsed time achieved by a single-node 8-core blade system using the Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® X5355 processor at 2.66GHz. (1) Improved LS-DYNA performance can result in
quicker simulations by industry users, which in turn can result in delivery of better and safer
products to the marketplace in less time.

These are the first LS-DYNA benchmark results published for the x3455 using the AMD
Opteron™ Model 2347 quad-core processor. For this benchmark, the single-node x3455 system
was configured with the AMD Opteron Model 2347 quad-core processor (1.9GHz, 512KB L2
cache per core) and eight 2GB PC2-5300 ECC DDR2 memory. (2)
