    ProLiant ML530 High-Performance Technologies Level 2 Advanced Transfer Cache allows Windows .NET to resolve logical processors to their associated physical processors. In summary, OSs that support Hyper-Threading include: • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (counts logical processors) • Microsoft .NET

As a result, there is greater chance of a cache hit for any given memory 89.6 GB/s to the processor so that it can keep executing instructions instead of sitting idle. This compares to a transfer rate of

    This balanced configuration reduces latency of data transfers between memory and processors, further enhancing system performance. The ProLiant ML530 G2 server comes standard with a single memory board. The memory board has eight Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets for a total capacity of 16

    data twice per clock cycle (on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal). The ProLiant ML530 G2 server uses two-way interleaving to improve memory performance. Two-way interleaving works by dividing memory into multiple 64-bit blocks that can be accessed two at a time, thus doubling the

    ProLiant ML530 G2 server well beyond that of 2P servers without Hyper-Threading technology and two-way memory interleaving. The ServerWorks Grand Champion HE chipset ensures that the bandwidth of the I/O subsystem complements the processor and memory bandwidths (see Figure 10). The chipset supports
