How to find out how many CPUs are required from SAPs

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to do sizing for SRM product.

Now questions is

1> How to determine no.of CPUs , kind of CPUs freq. etc from SAPS.

Is there any formula for it?

Even we ask this to hardware vendor, will verndor be aware of SAPS. How can vendor relate CPU details to SAPS?

Best Regards,

Tushar

Hello,

to turn SAPS into actual hardware configuration, an initial approach is to use the published benchmark results.

For example: The sizing result yields 40,000 SAPS. You go to sap.com/benchmark --> SD 2-tier and cross check several recent benchmark results and get a sample config. Currently, I would think that 1 core (of course depending on the type of processor/ clock speed/OS, etc.) would yield 1200 SAPS.

Best regards,

Hello Tusher,

The SAPs is determined by running the SAP SD benchmark. At the end of this benchmark you will get a value of SAPs and could determine the SAPs for each core. So you need to specify how many SAPs you will need and the hardware vendor can configure you a server environment, that is possible to handle your requests.

For sure .. if it isn't .. go away and search for another.
