Accelerating Business Intelligence with Large-Scale System Memory A Proof of Concept by Intel, Samsung, and SAP Ex Ecut Iv E Su MMA ry Real-time business intelligence (BI) plays a vital role in driving competitiveness across industries. Transforming operational data into actionable information that drives smart business decisions has become a core requirement. As a result, choosing the right solution building blocks to optimize BI infrastructure for performance and power consumption has become a strategic imperative in its own right. To identify the value of very high amounts of system memory to BI implementations, this proof of concept study tests SAP In- Memory Appliance Software (SAP HANA™) on servers based ® ® on the Intel Xeon processor E7 family and provisioned with next-generation memory from Samsung, a pioneer in producing 32-GB DIMMs and DIMMs based on 30nm-class process technology. Solution provided by: This paper begins with a review of the role of high-performance, real- time BI to the enterprise, before corE FIndIngS describing the test procedure and Full-text-search workload benefits from both 32-gB dIMMs and 30nm-class workloads used to compare the process technology: various memory configurations • Throughput per GB of loaded data increased by more than 1.4x as data sizes under test. It then presents the test were increased. results and provides an analysis of those results that shows their value • 30nm-class DIMMs provided up to 20 percent power reduction on the system level, relative to 50nm-class DIMMs. to real-world implementations.
