STAC recently performed STAC-A2 Benchmark tests on a Dell PowerEdge R770AP server featuring Intel® Xeon® 6980P Processors.

STAC-A2 is the technology benchmark standard for financial market risk analysis, evaluating the performance, scaling, quality, and resource efficiency of stacks capable of running a compute-intensive workload: Monte Carlo estimation of Heston-based Greeks for a path-dependent, multi-asset option with early exercise.
 


Highlights from the report:

Compared to previous generation featuring 2x Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8592+ Processors and the rev N of Intel STAC Pack (SUT ID INTC240321), this solution delivered:

  • 2.21x the throughput
  • 9.6x / 1.43x the speed in cold / warm runs of the baseline problem size
  • 1.65x / 1.77x the speed in cold / warm runs of the large problem size
  • 1.22x the energy efficiency
  • 1.97x the space efficiency

 

This Dell solution delivered the highest throughput and space efficiency of all Intel Xeon 6 servers tested. Compared to the Intel Avenue City Platform using 2x Intel® Xeon® 6980P processors and the same STAC Pack (SUT ID INTC250422), this solution delivered: 

  • 1.03x the throughput
  • 1.18x the number of correlated assets simulated in 10 minutes
  • 2.05x the space efficiency
