چکیده
0272-1732/00/$10.00 2000 IEEE The Itanium processor is the first implementation of the Intel IA-64 architecture. Designed for the high-end server market, the processor provides features (see the sidebar, next page) that maximize system reliability and availability. These features include fault coverage at the hardware level, a configurable multilevel error containment strategy, an availability feature set, and a machine check abort (MCA) architecture.

Rachet Up Reliability for Mission-Critical Applications
This white paper focuses on a particularly important new RAS feature in Intel Itanium processor 9500 series: Intel Instruction Replay Technology. This new technology provides enhanced support for automatically detecting and correcting errors in the instruction pipeline of the processor. It not only identifies a wider range of potential errors, but also corrects them almost instantly, so the del...
متن کاملThe Itanium 2 Processor Extends the Processing Power of the Itanium Processor Family with a Capable and Balanced Microarchitecture. Executing up to Six Instructions at a Time, It Provides Both Performance and Binary Compatibility
On 8 July 2002, Intel introduced the Itanium 2 processor—the Itanium architecture’s second implementation. This event was a milestone in the cooperation between Intel and Hewlett-Packard to establish the Itanium architecture as a key workstation, server, and supercomputer building block. The Itanium 2 processor may appear similar to the Itanium processor, yet it represents significant advances ...

متن کاملReliability and Availability Improvement in Economic Data Grid Environment Based On Clustering Approach
Abstract - One of the important problems in grid environments is data replication in grid sites. Reliability and availability of data replication in some cases is considered low. To separate sites with high reliability and high availability of sites with low availability and low reliability, clustering can be used. In this study, the data grid dynamically evaluate and predict the condition of t...
