SMP Technology

Design: The RS/6000's SMP design incorporates multiple PowerPC processors sharing a single common memory and a single copy of the AIX Version 4.1.4 or 4.2 for servers operating system. Jobs are scheduled across the processors, allowing separate processes to be run simultaneously. Data and instructions are accessed from the shared memory, through a high-speed cache to the processors. This simple design with a coherent cache allows programs to exploit the parallelism provided by the multiple processors.

Design Requirements: A multiprocessor system must satisfy several requirements when compared to a uniprocessor system. They must:

Several additional requirements are placed on the design by the unique characteristics of commercial applications. The key to delivering good commercial performance is not a factor solely of the processor, but rather of the memory hierarchy and the ability to do rapid cache-to-cache transfers. Typically commercial applications exhibit data access patterns with a large footprint. This is very different from scientific or technical workloads. Commercial workloads are characterized by high L1/L2 cache miss rates, heavy memory traffic, and high cache migration rates. As data traffic increases due to the large footprint of commercial workloads, it is evident that the memory bus is potentially a bottleneck. It is, therefore, critical to performance that the SMP system be designed to handle these applications.

Design Fulfillment: The RS/6000 SMP models have the following major attributes:

The design of the IBM SMP Servers helps increase performance as follows: IBM's SMP servers provide efficient paths between processors and memory and efficiently manages the processor caches to maintain cache coherency. A distributed directory "snoop" mechanism is used to maintain cache coherency. The traditional memory bus is still present, but it only carries address tags. A nonblocking cross-bar switch is added to the design, which carries the data between cache and memory or cache and cache. A patented, four-deep pipelined snoop architecture is used to provide outstanding concurrency in memory and cache operations and operates with the data cross-bar. The design allows operations to take place in a single memory-read cycle, which in other SMP designs will take two or three such cycles.



Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)

IBM continues to apply RAS experience to the RS/6000 servers from many decades of building mission-critical mainframe computers. RAS characteristics such as error detection, fault tolerance, reliable hardware components, high availability, fault management, concurrent or online diagnostics, which were once available only on mainframe computers, are now implemented in SMP RS/6000 servers.

RAS is an integral part of the SMP RS/6000 and AIX Version 4 design philosophy. But RAS doesn't stop there, it affects the way that IBM can offer service on SMP RISC System/6000 products to keep systems operational. In IBM, RAS is integrated into all aspects of hardware design, programming support, manufacturing quality, application system design, service, and service support. Its purpose is to help assure that the IBM product is operational when you need it, that it reliably performs the job, handles the occasional failure in a nondisruptive fashion, is repaired quickly and competently, and allows resumption operations with a minimum of inconvenience. The R40 provides N + 1 fans, which allow for deferred maintenance in the event of a fan failure. An optional second power supply, which supports dual power sources, allows for deferred maintenance in the event of a power supply failure.

PRODUCT POSITIONING

The new RISC System/6000 PowerPC Servers are the latest generation of systems for businesses featuring an innovative SMP design that combines the PowerPC -- the leading RISC microprocessor, AIX -- IBM's industrial-strength UNIX+ and IBM's large systems development experience to bring unprecedented reliability, scalability, and capacity to low-cost, enterprise servers.

These new SMP systems exploit the performance of the PowerPC 604 in two-, four-, six- and eight-way processor configurations. Process or performance growth can be accomplish by simply adding additional processor cards as performance requirements grow.

Designed to avoid typical performance bottlenecks, these new RISC System/6000 PowerPC Servers leverage IBM's extensive large systems experience, applying mainframe-class technology to the SMP design. An innovative non-blocking data crossbar speeds memory/processor interaction, with a sustained memory subsystem bandwidth of 800 MB/second. This high memory capacity allows future performance upgrades to most effectively exploit these systems. An integrated service processor continually monitors the system and automatically acts to recover the system from selected error conditions, enhancing system reliability.

For many customers with installed RS/6000 rack-based servers, aggressively priced upgrades to these new SMP systems are available to provide continued performance growth.

Most technical server applications requiring the maximum performance on floating-point or numerically intensive workloads will be best served by the POWER2-based uniprocessors. They continue to offer the best performance and price-performance on these technical applications.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION



Serviceability



World-Class Technical Service and Support

The SMP RS/6000 system servers come with IBM World Class Technical Service and Support.

Hardware Service and Support

Service Director(R)/6000: This licensed program is provided at no additional charge for customers who are currently under warranty or have an IBM Maintenance Agreement.

Service Director/6000 can provide increased system availability through remote maintenance information reporting. System errors are dynamically monitored and analyzed. If the situation warrants it, the system can automatically place a service call to IBM without any customer intervention being required. Service Director/6000 is an account management application for use by the IBM service provider.

Service Director/6000 for RISC System/6000 is an IBM-exclusive software application that features:

Online Customer Support (OCS): OCS for hardware problem reporting can be performed via remote login by Remote Support Center (RSC) specialists using normal AIX facilities, or by the Service Director/6000 for RISC System/6000 software program.

AIX support offerings are available under the AIX SupportLine Family of Services and Service Director/6000 for RISC System/6000.

Scalability: Scalability is also a key design consideration. The IBM SMP servers have been built to be easily upgraded. The packaging is such that it permits convenient replacement or upgrading of processor, memory, or I/O adapters.

For example, the processors are contained on dual-processor cards and to upgrade from a two-way to a four-way system is merely a matter of plugging in an additional dual-processor card.

RS/6000 R00 System Rack: The R00 System Rack provides mounting space and support for Models R10, R20, R21, R24, R30, and R40 and external supported devices. The 1.6-meter rack meets the requirements of the Electronics Industries Standards (EIA) EIA-310C standard. An EIA is a unit measure of vertical mounting space that equals 44.45 mm (1.75 in). The R00 System Rack has 32 EIA units of vertical mounting space.

The R00 System Rack can be used as the base rack to support one or more processor drawers with available external supported devices, and an expansion rack to support additional external supported devices. AC and DC power distribution units are available. Features are available to provide bolt-down to either a concrete or raised floor.

Feature Availability Matrix For Models R40: The following feature availability matrix uses the letter "A" to indicate features that are available and orderable on the specified models. "I" indicates a feature that is only available at the time of the initial system order. "M" indicates a feature that is only available as an MES. "S" indicates a feature that is supported on the new model during a model conversion; these features will work on the new model but additional quantities of these features cannot be ordered on the new model; they can only be removed. "N" indicates that the feature is not supported on the new model and must be removed during the model conversion. As additional features are announced, supported, or withdrawn, this list will be updated. The "No Limit Specified" column may include external devices in some cases. Check with your IBM representative for additional information.

Software Support: All features are supported on AIX Versions 4.1 and 4.2.

Limitations



Model Conversions

R40 Model Conversions: You can upgrade any uniprocessor model of the RS/6000 rack family to either the R40 or R4U. The Model R4U includes the same enclosure as the R40 but supports the 900 series model configurations. The R40 and R4U upgraded system will have the same serial number as the predecessor system.

You can upgrade these RS/6000 rack systems to the Model R40/R4U PowerPC Server.

This section provides details on the contents of the R40/R4U model conversion shipment group and the additional features you will need to order or have available before performing the upgrade. Also, it discusses which existing features are supported and offers several options for using existing memory when upgrading to the R40/R4U.

What is contained in the model conversion shipment group?

The upgrades to the Model R40 or R4U contain some or all of the following items:

Your existing supported disk, media devices, and adapters can be transferred to the new Model R40/R4U system. The replaced chassis and main circuit boards become the property of IBM and must be returned to IBM. Optional features of the replaced system will either be installed in the new system or returned to you.

What additional features will I need to order?

Upgraded machines must contain the same or equivalent base features as the Model R40/R4U at the conclusion of the upgrade.

These items must be installed or available with the upgrade:

Some upgrades may require the purchase of an additional adapter or drawer to support the disks from the original system. The 7027-HSC can be ordered to support up to 30 16-bit, hot-plug disks and three media devices, or the 7012-G02 with feature number 6534 can be ordered to support up to four 16-bit disks and two media devices. If additional hardware is required for the upgrade, it must be purchased with the upgrade or be available at the time of the upgrade. It will also be necessary to perform a prerequisite analysis of all of your machine orders before the upgrade is scheduled for shipment.

Which of my existing features are supported?

Several features on the existing 900 series, R10, R20, R21, and R24 models are not supported on the Model R40/R4U. Refer to the Feature Availability Matrix for a listing of supported and non-supported features.

Battery backup (#6150) is only supported if it was installed before ordering the upgrade.

Before accepting your order, IBM will advise you of all features that will not be supported as a result of upgrading your machine. Non-supported features remain your property and are not returned to IBM.

Memory Feature Exchange: IBM offers an SMP memory exchange program, at a reduced fee, for customers who are converting from a uniprocessor to an SMP processor. Customers with installed IBM uniprocessor memory can use the exchange program to acquire SMP memory. IBM will exchange, at a reduced fee, uniprocessor memory for equal or greater capacity SMP memory. (Uniprocessor memory 4MB, 8MB, and 16MB does not apply).
