Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 Server User Manual

Introduction

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 using Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 processors delivers world record performance for all three KPIs for SAP® BW edition for SAP HANA® Standard Application Benchmark Version 3 with 5.2 billion (5.2B) initial records in a single-node setup.
Product Overview

The benchmark refers to the SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) application running on the SAP HANA database.

The benchmark consists of three phases and the SR650 V2 server achieved the following performance results (1):

Phase 1: Data load phase = 12,859 (Runtime of last Data Set in seconds)
Phase 2: Query throughput phase = 4222 (Query Executions per Hour)
Phase 3: Query runtime phase = 89 (Total Runtime of complex query phase in seconds)

The SR650 V2 was configured as follows:

Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 Processors, 2.30 GHz
- 80 total cores / 160 total threads
- 80 KB L1 cache and 1280 KB L2 cache per core
- 60 MB L3 cache per processor
1,024 GB DRAM system memory
2,048 GB of persistent memory using Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2
SAP HANA 2.0
SAP NetWeaver® 7.50

Results referenced are current as of July 20, 2021. For the latest SAP BW benchmark results, visit:

The Lenovo XClarity family of software helps to deliver peak efficiency and precision management including ThinkShield Security.
The ThinkSystem SR650 V2 features single sign-on support for XClarity Administrator, enhanced Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) and Hardware Root of Trust, transport layer security and IP Address blocking.

With Lenovo ThinkSystem best-in-class reliability, the highly flexible and configurable SR650 V2 is the ideal platform for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) or software-defined storage (SDS).

It provides a solid foundation for:

Transforming physical resources into services, using validated designs for hybrid cloud
Performing analytics on streaming data, using validated designs for Big Data
Increasing productivity of virtualized transactional systems, using validated designs for OLTP

About the SAP BW edition for SAP HANA Benchmark

The SAP BW, edition for SAP HANA Standard Application Benchmark, Version 3, is the latest addition to the list of benchmarks for SAP Business Warehouse.
It utilizes the capabilities of SAP HANA to process the benchmark workload.
Allowed data volumes are a multiple of 1.3 billion initial records and can be run in single-node and multi-node setups.
This benchmark was released in July 2018.

The benchmark scenario represents typical mid-size customer scenario and volumes for SAP BW running on SAP HANA.
The benchmark simulates a variety of users with different analytical requirements and measures the key performance indicator (KPI) relevant to each of the three benchmark phases.

The three benchmark phases are as follows:

Data load phase, testing data latency and load performance
Query throughput phase, testing query throughput with moderate complex queries
Query runtime phase, testing the performance of running very complex queries
