Performance and Scalability
⚫
Powered by two Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable Skylake or Cascade Lake processors, the
server provides up to 28 cores, 3.8 GHz frequency, a 38.5 MB L3 cache, and two
10.4 GT/s UPI links between the processors, which deliver supreme processing
performance.
− It supports up to two processors with 56 cores and 112 threads to maximize
the concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.
− An L2 cache is added. Each core can exclusively use 1 MB of L2 cache and
at least 1.375 MB of L3 cache.
− Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run faster than
the frequency specified in the Thermal Design Power (TDP) configuration if
they are operating below power, current, and temperature specification
limits.
− Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables each processor core to run up to
two threads, improving parallel computation capability.
− The hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) allows
operating system (OS) vendors to better use hardware to address
virtualization workloads.
− Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) significantly
accelerates floating-point performance for computing-intensive applications.
− The Cascade Lake processors support Intel® Deep Learning Boost vector
neural network instructions (VNNI) to improve the performance of deep
learning applications.

The server supports double data rate 4 (DDR4) registered dual in-line memory
modules (RDIMMs) and load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) with error checking
and correcting (ECC). A server fully configured with twenty-four 2933 MT/s
memory modules (only available with Cascade Lake processors) provides 3072
GB memory space and the maximum theoretical memory bandwidth of 249.9375
GB/s.

A server supports a maximum of 12 Intel
®
Optane
TM
DC persistent memory
modules (DCPMMs for short). When the DDR4 memory modules are used
together, the server supports a maximum of 7.5 TB memory capacity (calculated
based on a maximum of 128 GB capacity per DDR4 memory module and a
maximum of 512 GB capacity per DCPMM).

Flexible drive configurations cater to a variety of business requirements and
ensure high elasticity and scalability of storage resources.
