Chapter 2.
overview
This chapter describes the overall system architecture for the IBM Power 720 and Power 740,
represented by Figure 2-1 on page 42 and Figure 2-2 on page 43. The bandwidth numbers
that are provided throughout the section are theoretical maximums values that are used
for reference.
The speeds shown are at an individual component level. Multiple components and application
implementation are key to achieving the best performance.
Always perform sizing at the application workload environment level and evaluate
performance by using real-world performance measurements and production workloads.
