Performance Characteristics of Dual-Processor HPC Cluster Nodes Based on 64-bit Commodity Processors
Dual-processor nodes are the preferred building blocks in HPC clusters because of the greater performance-to-price ratio of such configurations relative to clusters comprising single-processor nodes. The arrival of 64-bit commodity clusters for HPC is advantageous for large space applications that require memory and I/O addressing beyond the 32-bit support. Some of these 64-bit processors also ...
متن کاملCluster Bus performance for the IBM S / 390 Parallel
As the speed of the S/390 processors has increased at a rapid rate over the years, it has become extremely challenging to be able to connect them in a Parallel Sysplex without compromising system performance. The cost of synchronous accesses to the coupling facility will build up progressively unless coupling link technology keeps pace with the development of the processors. Beginning with the ...

The PowerPCt 440 floating-point unit (FPU) with complexarithmetic extensions is an embedded application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) core designed to be used with the IBM PowerPC 440 processor core on the Blue Genet/L compute chip. The FPU core implements the floating-point instruction set from the PowerPC Architecturee and the floating-point instruction extensions created to aid in matri...
متن کاملDesign considerations for the PowerPC 601 microprocessor
The PowerPC 601” microprocessor (601) is the first member of a family of processors that support IBM’s PowerPC Architecture”. The 601 Is a general-purpose processor based on a superscalar design point. As with any development effort, the 601 development program had several different, often conflicting, design goals. The most important requirements were support for the PowerPC Architecture, a sh...
متن کاملG4 Is First PowerPC With AltiVec: 11/16/98
Motorola will extend its PowerPC line with the first G4 processor core, which it unveiled at last month’s Microprocessor Forum. According to project leader Paul Reed, the new core adds a faster floating-point unit to the older G3 core and doubles its cache and system-bus bandwidth. The G4 is also the first chip to incorporate the AltiVec extensions, which greatly increase performance on many ba...
