HP DL740 HP F8 Architecture Technology Brief - Page 14

HP F8 Architecture Conclusion Feedback On December 6, 2002, HP announced a new TPC-C performance mark for 8-processor systems.8 Running Microsoft® Windows® .NET Datacenter Server and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3, the ProLiant DL760 G2 server-HP's first implementation of the F8 architecture-performed 115,025 tpmC while supporting 92,000 users. The F8 chipset delivers bandwidth four to five times greater than that in the Profusion architecture and is capable of handling the highest demands from IA-32 processors and high-bandwidth peripherals in 2003 and beyond. Its nonblocking crossbar switch allows direct point-to-point access to all system resources: processors, memory, and I/O. The balanced architecture of the F8 chipset delivers superior performance for the most demanding applications, regardless of whether these applications are processor intensive, memory intensive, or I/O intensive. Perhaps most importantly, HP has developed the new capability of Hot-Plug RAID Memory to provide an unprecedented level of fault tolerance, scalability, and availability while using industry-standard DIMMs. Please direct comments regarding this communication to the ISS Technology Communications Group at this Internet address: [email protected] Intel is a U.S. registered trademark of Intel Corporation.
