Destination CPU Utilization = Source CPU Utilization *
(Source SAPs per Core / Destination SAPs per Core)
Destination CPU Utilization = 50% * (881.25 / 2071.88) = 21.27%
If you happen to be reading this topic in advance of virtualizing an SAP system using
SQL Server 2012, you may be interested to know that the largest SAP system we're
aware of using SQL Server as its database platform running on VMware vSphere is
approximately 10.2 million users and around 8 million SAPS, including production and
non-production environments. This is a substantial system for a very large government
department.
Comparing Similar System Processor Types Across Generations
The same sort of calculations can be done to compare processors within the same type
but between different processor generations. Table 10.6 presents the SAP SD
Benchmark results for three different HP Server and Intel Xeon processor generations.
Table 10.6 SAP SD Benchmark Examples Between Different Processor Generations
From this table, we can see the progression of performance, core for core, socket for
socket, and thread for thread, across three HP server generations taken from the SAP SD
2 Tier benchmark results. Even for relatively the same CPU Core clock speed, the core-
