Higher number of 1080HD video streams that Intel® Xeon® 8168 Platinum
can handle (2x61 compared to 2x45 on E5-2699 v4, VP9) enables more
streams per server which keeps TCO down.
Manual and compiler Intel® AVX-512 enabling.
“The VP9 video codec with superblocks of 64 x 64 pixels is particularly well
suited to the Intel AVX-512 instruction set since a 512 bit registers can hold
exactly 64 pixels. At similar visual quality, our VP9 implementation is roughly
3 times faster than the LibVPX implementation that is not yet adopted to
AVX512.”
- Lars Petter Endresen, PhD, Principal Performance Engineer, Pexip
“The Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel AVX-512 provides up to
almost 50% performance increase for VP9 encoding and decoding
[compared to the previous generation Broadwell CPUs]. This translates to a
dramatic reduction in TCO for our customers whether they deploy in an IaaS

Application:
IBM® Global Security Kit (GSKit) provides libraries and utilities to enable SSL or TLS
communication for IBM products, including DB2* and Websphere*. GSKit is a component
and not a stand-alone product. GSKit support and updates are provided as part of other products'
support and updates. The workload is compute bound and tests the speed of cryptographic
operations including SHA, AES, and RSA.
Lowering the overhead for cryptographic operations like AES encryption lowers the barrier for
adoption, delivering a better user experience and security.
IBM® GSKit leverages Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) to
accelerate AES encryption.

IBM® AlgoFinancialModeler®
ENTERPRISE
Application:
IBM Algo Financial Modeler is an application that models
financial contracts. The complex stochastic actuarial model used
for these tests has 1000 scenarios, where each record is valued
over a 120 year period using 1 month projection steps.
Many client datasets have more than a million records, thus
throughput is important. In this model, run times scale linearly
with the number of records. The calculation is not I/O bound
and makes full use of all allocated cores.
 The Intel® VTune™ Amplifier performance profiler highlighted
model and generator improvements that helped increase
throughput on all machines.
“New industry regulations require an increase in model
complexity; the use of the Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8180 processor
helps to meet their obligations.”
