XSM Performances
XSM is with no doubt the fastest sort utility you can find !
You have done benchmarks ? You found a faster sort ? Please let us know !

XSM 6.77 vs 6.71 Performance Improvement
Comparing XSM v6.77 vs v6.71 for 10 GB sort
sort 10 GB (100 millions records x 100 bytes), no sortwork,
Linux FC14 x86_64 vs Win XP 32 on same box: Intel Core2 E8500, 2GB RAM, 1 x SATA2
XSM vs standard sort, from 1 to 50 GB, Sparc Solaris 10
Time in minutes to sort from 1 to 50 Gigabytes file
SunOS 5.10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000, EMC SAN disks, 2 Oracle instances, +2000 processes running
XSM vs standard sort, from 1 to 30 GB, Linux x86
Time in minutes to sort from 1 to 30 Gigabytes file
Linux FC9.x86_64, Core2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33GHz, 2 GB RAM, 2 x IDE 7200 rpm
XSM vs challenger softwares 5GB, 10GB, 20GB, WinNT
- Machine with normal, stable system load.
- Files generated by SortGen before each run.
- Ground rules : http://sortbenchmark.org
- Average elapse on 5 runs. Each run executes all sort programs.
- 1 hard disk IDE 7200 rpm for input + output
- 1 hard disk IDE 7200 rpm for temporary sortworks
- Benchmark is reproductible.
Time in minutes to sort a 5 Gigabytes file
Time in minutes to sort a 10 Gigabytes file
Time in minutes to sort a 20 Gigabytes file
XSM from 1 to 30 Gigabyte, Linux x86_64 vs Solaris 10 Sparcv9
Time in minutes to sort from 1 to 30 Gigabytes files
- Machine with normal, stable system load.
- Files generated by Sortgen before each run.
- 1 disk for input + output
- 1 disk for temporary sortworks (4 SORTWORKS)
- Multi-threading
- Benchmark is reproductible.
This benchmark shows linear performances on files from 1 to 30 Gigabytes on different platforms:
whatever the volume processed, elapse times is foreseeable and constant.
In above example, SUN Sparc has SCSI disks faster than PC's IDE but slower CPUs. This explains difference in performances.
XSM vs standard sort, IBM AIX
Time in seconds to sort from 100K up to a million records on IBM AIX:
AIX 5.2 P570 CPU 1.9Ghz RAM 6GB
XSM vs standard sort, IBM Z/Linux
Time in seconds and CPU usage to sort a 1M records file on IBM z/Linux:
XSM vs standard sort, AIX, Solaris, Linux
Ancient Benchmarks from old age (2002...) when it took 1 minute to sort 100 Megabytes...
Today, it takes 40 secs to sort 1 Gigabyte!
The point is to show that XSM, since its creation, has always been way faster that standard sort
