This chapter describes the following features of the main unit:
l

High Performance

l
High Reliability
l
Expanding of Maintenance and Operational Functions
1.1 High Performance
The main unit is based on Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architecture. This architecture
provides excellent scalability and reliability, without changing or stopping user application.
l Crossbar interconnection technology developed by Fujitsu realizes optimum scalability.
l Crossbar interconnection technology allows up to 32 processors for PRIMEPOWER1000,
and 16 processors for PRIMEPOWER800.
l System Boards assure memory module expansion and upgrade to the next generation
processors.
l The main unit central processing unit is a SPARC64 GP.
l The memory subsystem enables interleave transactions with SDRAM Memory module of 32
way for PRIMEPOWER1000, and 16 way for PRIMEPOWER800.
l PCI slots are capable of 64 bits at 66 MHz.
l For PRIMEPOWER1000, up to 32 CPUs and 48 PCI slots, and for PRIMEPOWER800, up
to 16 CPUS and 24 PCI slots can be built in without trade off. Flexibility of the CPU,
memory, and I/O enhancement is not restricted.
l The main unit supports Solaris; assuring application binary compatibility between SPARC
and Solaris devices.
The main unit also supports both 32 bit and 64 bit Solaris: The 32 bit application programs
and 64 bit application programs are interchangeable.
