Sort Benchmark

Why isn't HPCC a winner based on its benchmark on http://sortbenchmark.org/

We have not, to this point, devoted the resources to producing an official entry although we do run the benchmark internally and produce extremely impressive – albeit not externally verified - results.

As a platform vendor we are really more concerned with how efficient a given architecture makes a particular set of machines; rather than how many machines we can put in a room. We believe that on identical hardware our system will go faster than anything else. Therefore we are releasing the ECL benchmark code we use soon – and we invite people to run the benchmarks and publish their results.

Thank you!
