Features of the PRIMEPOWER Servers
The features of the PRIMEPOWER servers are as follows:
High-performance SPARC64 GP Processors
The SPARC64 GP is a high-performance processor with an out-of-order execution engine.
The SPARC64 GP features high-speed arithmetic operations with high-precision Branch
Prediction
The SPARC64 GP supports a large external cache and on-chip cache.
ECC (error correcting code) is used in both the on-chip and external caches.
High-performance Multi-Processor Platform
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architecture (maximum number of CPUs varies from model
to model).
Memory interleaving (maximum number of interleaves varies from model to model).
Implements a packet-based bus protocol, with a throughput of 1.3 to 1.6 GB/s per processor.
A high-speed crossbar switched multiprocessor interface is used. This enables simultaneous
operation of multiple processors, I/O and memory devices and faster data transfers.
High-speed I/O interface
The following high-speed I/O interfaces are provided as standard:
100Base-TX (100/10 Mbps auto-sensing)
64-bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) busses
