    With this dual-threaded architecture, each UltraSPARC IV processor consists of two virtual processors with shared memory. A dynamic arbitration scheme enables each thread to make optimal use of the available memory, resulting in higher performance. Sun Fire V890 Server Service Manual • October 2005...
  • Page 247 The following illustration shows the four CPU/Memory board slots on the system motherboard. The slots are labeled A through D from bottom to top. The virtual processors (CPUs) in the system have unique numbers, depending on the slot where each CPU/Memory board resides. For example, a CPU/Memory board installed in slot D always contains CPUs 5 and 21 and 7 and 23, even if there are no other CPU/Memory boards installed in the system.

The Sun Fire V890 server employs a shared-memory multiprocessor architecture with all processors sharing the same physical address space. The system processors, main memory, and I/O subsystem communicate via a high-speed system interconnect bus, operating at a clock rate of 150 MHz.

  • Page 249: About Memory Modules

    The system reads from, or writes to, all four DIMMs in a group simultaneously. DIMMs, therefore, must be added in sets of four. The figure below shows the DIMM slots and DIMM groups on a Sun Fire V890 CPU/Memory board. Every fourth slot belongs to the same DIMM group. The four groups are designated A0, A1, B0, and B1.
