STAC has released a benchmark of Reuters Market Data System (RMDS 6) running on a single Intel “Caneland” server with four Quad Core Intel Xeon X7350 processors (for a total of 16 cores), running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 and communicating over Gigabit Ethernet.

Stacked configurations were used to exploit the 16 cores as much as possible. The results are the highest Source Distributor throughput and Point-to-Point Server throughput achieved to date on a single 4-socket or 2-socket server, including:

- 2,800,000 updates per second in the Source Distributor throughput test and
- 2,200,000 updates per second in the P2PS throughput test.
