NEW YORK - Supermicro (NASDAQ:SMCI), a prominent player in the Technology Hardware industry with a market capitalization of $30.45 billion, announced record-breaking results for the STAC-M3 benchmark, a performance test for time-series databases used in algorithmic trading and backtesting workloads, according to a press release statement. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated impressive revenue growth of 46.59% over the last twelve months.
The tests, conducted in collaboration with Intel and Micron, showed the configuration set new world records on 19 of 24 Kanaga mean-time response benchmarks and 3 of 5 Kanaga throughput benchmarks. The system also established records in all Antuco multi-user benchmarks. This technical achievement comes as Supermicro maintains a strong financial position, with InvestingPro analysis showing a healthy current ratio of 5.25, indicating robust liquidity management.
The tested configuration consisted of six 2U Supermicro storage servers equipped with Intel Xeon 6 processors, Micron 9550 NVMe SSDs, DDR5 memory, and KX Software’s kdb+ 4.1 database. The setup completed compute-intensive tasks 36% faster than previous record holders while using 62% fewer CPU cores.
"The record-breaking test results are a testament to both Supermicro’s workload optimized building block product design enabling us to achieve first-to-market leadership and our collaboration with leading technology providers," said Vik Malyala, SVP Technology & AI at Supermicro.
The STAC-M3 benchmark focuses on quantitative trading scenarios using simulated market data for thousands of assets. It measures query response time for operations commonly performed by banks, hedge funds, and trading firms.
Despite using significantly less rack space than previous record-holders (12U versus 21U or 44U), the configuration supported 1.6PiB of storage capacity, more than six times that of previous record systems.
The benchmark results were presented at the STAC Summit in New York. STAC is an independent testing organization that focuses on the financial industry, with over 500 financial institutions and more than 70 technology companies participating in its benchmark council.
