Performance Criteria for the Predictor Resource

The following table shows the performance criteria for the Predictor resource. The criteria are based on the average numbers defined in Data Sizes and Limits for the Predictor Resource.

All numbers are measured on a dual-processor 550Mhz Pentium III with 512 MB of RAM Web server for making Prediction, and quad-processor 550Mhz Pentium III with 2 GB of RAM Database server for building Analysis models and to call LoadModelFromDB(). Client computers are 400 MHz Pentium II with 128 MB of RAM.

Criteria Component Minimum Maximum Average
Latency to make prediction Client 0 milliseconds 20 milliseconds per prediction call 10 milliseconds per prediction call
Throughput of prediction requests Client 30 predictions per second per CPU Not applicable 90 predictions per second per CPU
Load model from database Client Not applicable 3.6 seconds 3.4 seconds
Service start time Service Not applicable 20 seconds 5 seconds
