CPU Sizing

A CPU sizing only has to be performed in addition to the memory sizing if a massive amount of users working on a relatively small amount of data is expected. Choose the T-shirt configuration size that satisfies both the memory and CPU requirements.

The CPU sizing is user-based. The SAP HANA system has to support 300 SAPS for each concurrently active user. The servers used for the IBM Systems Solution for SAP HANA support about 60 - 65 concurrently active users per CPU, depending on the server model.


What is SAPS?
The SAP Application Performance Standard, known as SAPS is a unit of measurement that describes the performance (throughput result) of a SAP system configuration.
It is defined as:
      2,000 fully processed order line items per hour = 100 SAPS

To know more about SAPS, refer to the following links:

Note: That the CPU sizing has to be adjusted so that the server load does not exceed 65% in average (i.e. to obtain the maximum number of users per server, the absolute server SAPS capacity has to be multiplied by .65).
