Application Performance Data Below you will find performance charts comparing HP VISUALIZE UNIX® Workstation systems to HP PA-8200 systems and to Sun's Ultrasparc60 systems. Performance gains in both EDA and MDA applications are shown. In the EDA applications, Verilog and QuickHDL are two memory intensive applications. It should be noted that not all performance improvements are due to improvements in the memory subsystem. Faster processor speeds and improved I/O performance also influence the performance numbers below. The performance numbers below are based on proprietary customer application workloads. Larger numbers represent better performance. The EDA Composite workload is an average of the other EDA application results of Verilog, Design Compiler, QuickHDL, Calibre and Cyclone. Similarly, the MDA Composite is an average of the UG, SDRC and PTC workloads. The systems shown in the J5000 comparisons had 1GB of memory and the systems shown in the C3000 comparisons had 512MB of memory.
