T4 MIA
I was recently looking to do a comparison of a couple of systems and figured the easiest data to look at would be SPEC CPU data. I mean it’s almost a given that even though these integer and floating point benchmarks can be, should I say, pretty boring (yawn), at least you’ll find what you [...]

Notes from Oracle, Chapter 3 in the Series
Once again, I received a marketing email from Oracle this morning. And once again, hoping that it contained exciting new data on the T5, I was sadly disappointed. I can not fathom why they continue to address the email to a bizarre truncation of my first name. I continue to question my confidence in a [...]

Oracle’s Historical Fiction
I love reading historical fiction. It’s somewhat like the real thing, but not quite. And definitely more exciting. This morning I received another email from Oracle that reminded me of just that. The note was once again addressed to “Elis”. I can not fathom why they continue to truncate my first name to only four [...]

I Want to Buy a Zoo, Not an Oracle System
Most people don’t think about going to the zoo in the middle of winter. But it’s actually the very best time to go. No crowds, the zebra fried oreo shacks are closed, and the animals are at their very best. And, after all, isn’t that what it’s really all about? Last week, I had a [...]

All I Want for Christmas is a Good T4 Benchmark
I read an article the other day about a Santa school where aspiring Santas go to learn about how to be Santa Claus. Important concepts like how to comb your beard, how to make that amazing Ho Ho Ho, and where to properly keep your hands when a kid is on your lap. In this [...]

Is There a “Right” and “Wrong” with Benchmarks?
Like many of our politicians lately, Oracle has been proselytizing — in this case that there are certain benchmarks which are right and certain benchmarks which are wrong. In their evaluation Oracle claims to focus on all the right benchmarks while claiming that everyone else is focusing on the wrong ones. Let’s take a look [...]
