The only conclusion here is not to use old and/or synthetic benchmarks.
- helper 12y agoNope. The conclusion is that it is really easy to benchmark the wrong thing. If you are trying to evaluate AWS vs DO vs Google Compute Engine vs Joyent you better make sure you are actually comparing apples to apples. Your comparison will probably invalid if you are using a different kernel version or compiler version or possibly even different shared libraries.
- sciurus 12y agoNo, the conclusion is "If you want to compare different servers using benchmarks that you compile, you need the compilers to match, or you need to take that into consideration. This should be something you unearth by following an [active benchmarking](http://www.brendangregg.com/activebenchmarking.html http://www.brendangregg.com/activebenchmarking.html) approach, where you study and understand what the benchmark really does."
