IBM Power 780 comparisons Performance per watt is calculated by dividing the performance in the table above by the recommended maximum power for site planning. Actual power used by the systems will be less than this value for all of the systems. The maximum power requirement for the Power 780 is 6,400 Watts and is available at http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/index.wss - search for Power 780.  Power consumption figures of 6400 W for the IBM Power 780, 12,196 W / 24,392 W for the HP Superdome and 44,800 W for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 were based on the maximum rates published by IBM, HP and Sun Microsystems, respectively. The information for the HP Integrity Superdome is in “QuickSpecs HP Integrity Superdome Servers 16- processor, 32-processor, and 64- processor Systems” available at www.hp.com. The information for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 is in the "Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Servers Site Planning Guide" available at www.sun.com.
IBM Power 780 comparisons The virtualized system count and energy savings were derived from several factors:  A performance ratio factor was applied to the virtualization scenario based on SPECint_rate2006.  The performance factor is simply the SPECint_rate2006 result per core of the Power 780 divided by the per core result of the HP or Sun system. Power 780 (64-core, 8 chips, 8 cores per chip, 3.8 GHz) SPECint_rate2006 2,530 peak as of 2/8/2010.  HP Superdome (64-core, 32 chips, 2 cores per chip) 1.6 GHz, SPECint_rate2006 824 peak published October 2006. Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 (256-core, 64 chips, 4 cores per chip) 2.88 GHz, SPECint_rate2006  2,586 peak published October 2009. SPEC® results available at: www.spec.org A virtualization factor of 3.157X was applied to the virtualization scenario using utilization assumptions derived from an Alinean white paper on server consolidation. The tool assumes 19% utilization of existing servers and 60% utilization of new servers. Source - www.ibm.com/services/us/cio/optimize/opt_wp_ibm_systemp.pdf.  Air conditioning power requirement estimated at 50% of system power requirement.  Energy cost of $.1031 per kWh is based on 2009 YTD US Average Retail price to commercial customers per US DOE at http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_b.html as of 1/27/2010.  The reduction in floor space, power, cooling and software costs depends on the specific customer, environment, application requirements, and the consolidation potential. Actual numbers of virtualized systems supported will depend on workload levels for each replaced system. System data for HP from the HP Superdome Datasheet and HP Integrity Superdome Server — specifications both available at www.hp.com.

Notes on benchmarks and values The IBM benchmarks results shown herein were derived using particular, well configured, development-level and generally-available computer systems. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application oriented testing.  For additional information about the benchmarks, values and systems tested, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller or access the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor. IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at  http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf.html   . All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX Version 4.3, AIX 5L or AIX 6 were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX.  The SPEC CPU2006, SPEC2000, LINPACK, and Technical Computing benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers were used: XL C Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL FORTRAN Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX, XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux, and XL FORTRAN Advanced Edition V9.1 for Linux.  The SPEC CPU95 (retired in 2000) tests used preprocessors, KAP 3.2 for FORTRAN and KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 v4.01X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors.  Other software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX, MASS for AIX  and Kazushige Goto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.  For a definition/explanation of each benchmark and the full list of detailed results, visit the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor.

  • 59. IBM Power 780 comparisons Performance per watt is calculated by dividing the performance in the table above by the recommended maximum power for site planning. Actual power used by the systems will be less than this value for all of the systems. The maximum power requirement for the Power 780 is 6,400 Watts and is available at http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/index.wss - search for Power 780. Power consumption figures of 6400 W for the IBM Power 780, 12,196 W / 24,392 W for the HP Superdome and 44,800 W for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 were based on the maximum rates published by IBM, HP and Sun Microsystems, respectively. The information for the HP Integrity Superdome is in “QuickSpecs HP Integrity Superdome Servers 16- processor, 32-processor, and 64- processor Systems” available at www.hp.com. The information for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 is in the "Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Servers Site Planning Guide" available at www.sun.com.
  • 60. IBM Power 780 comparisons The virtualized system count and energy savings were derived from several factors: A performance ratio factor was applied to the virtualization scenario based on SPECint_rate2006. The performance factor is simply the SPECint_rate2006 result per core of the Power 780 divided by the per core result of the HP or Sun system. Power 780 (64-core, 8 chips, 8 cores per chip, 3.8 GHz) SPECint_rate2006 2,530 peak as of 2/8/2010. HP Superdome (64-core, 32 chips, 2 cores per chip) 1.6 GHz, SPECint_rate2006 824 peak published October 2006. Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 (256-core, 64 chips, 4 cores per chip) 2.88 GHz, SPECint_rate2006 2,586 peak published October 2009. SPEC® results available at: www.spec.org A virtualization factor of 3.157X was applied to the virtualization scenario using utilization assumptions derived from an Alinean white paper on server consolidation. The tool assumes 19% utilization of existing servers and 60% utilization of new servers. Source - www.ibm.com/services/us/cio/optimize/opt_wp_ibm_systemp.pdf. Air conditioning power requirement estimated at 50% of system power requirement. Energy cost of $.1031 per kWh is based on 2009 YTD US Average Retail price to commercial customers per US DOE at http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_b.html as of 1/27/2010. The reduction in floor space, power, cooling and software costs depends on the specific customer, environment, application requirements, and the consolidation potential. Actual numbers of virtualized systems supported will depend on workload levels for each replaced system. System data for HP from the HP Superdome Datasheet and HP Integrity Superdome Server — specifications both available at www.hp.com. System data for Sun from the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Tech Specs available at www.sun.com. Data is current as of January 27, 2010.

  1. POWER7 will deliver new features and functions to the Power family of Processors The enhancements include: Additional core density On chip cache using the energy saving technology developed in IBM Research Energy efficient core New on chip memory controller technology providing support for DDR3 memory. The memory will deliver more than 3X memory bandwidth of the POWER6 chip Support for both single and dual precision SIMD processing Support for additional Storage Protection Keys
  2. Let’s take a closer look now at the POWER7 Chip. POWER7 is fabricated in IBMs 45nm Silicon on insulator technology using copper interconnect and embedded dram for the L3. The chip is 567mm square and contains 1.2B transistors. However if you consider each EDRAM cell has the function of a 6T SRAM cell the chip actually has the equivalent function of a 2.7B transistors chip. The chip as you can see has 8 processor cores each with 12 execution unit capable of running 4 way SMT. I’ll share some core details in a few slide. To feed the processor cores: We have two memory controllers one on each side of the chip. Each memory controller supports 4 channels of DDR3 memory. Combined these 8 channels provided 100GBs sustained memory bandwidth. On the top and bottom of the chip are our seven 8 byte multi-processor links providing 360GB/s bandwidth to make balanced SMP systems scalable to 32 sockets.
  3. Next let’s take a closer look at the POWER7 core. The smaller P7 core provides additional performance over our previous generation Power6 core by: Having a shorter wider pipeline with better utilization leveraging SMT4 and Out of order execution The net is higher performance even with a smaller core in equivalent technology thus saving power. Taking a look at the chip floor plan you can see. Two fixed point pipelines. The two LSU pipes , The load store pipes are also capable executing simple fixed point instructions. FPU pipelines capable of 4 double precision multiply add operations per cycle or 8 flops/cycle. This unit also handles vector instructions. The instruction fetch unit which also executes branch and condition register instructions. The decimal floating point unit < A widened Instruction sequencing unit capable of dispatching 6 instructions per cycle including 2 branches and issuing up to 8 instructions per cycle. <click> In POWER7 we took advantage of the out of order execution to switch from a dedicated recovery unit to a distributed one using the flush and refetch capability in the OOO machine. The core caches on Power7 have been improved by making the L1 instruction and data cache 32KB and reducing the access time from 4 to 2 cycles and backing them with a 256KB L2 cache integrated with the core to be only 8 cycles away.

  5. Our RAS results are better because we start with a full systems view. We have very challenging for each element of RAS and we measure our systems performance. as we approach a new generation of Power, we attack those elements which have had the greatest impact on reliability, availability, or serviceability. we can do this because we design the HW, firmware and OS together. Just as an example, look at the way we address processor execution errors. before an instruction executes, we save status information about the processor. if the instruction fails for any reason, we reload that status and retry the instruction using Processor Intstruction Retry. Most of the time, the instruction will work because most problems are intermittent caused by events like bombardment of the chip by alpha particles flipping a bit. This kind of event becomes more common as we make technology denser and the size of the alpha particles becomes larger relative to the distance between bits in execution reguisters. Some of the time, retry doesn’t work on the processor because it has a hard failure. In that case, if another processor is available, we use Alternate Processor Recovery andload the status into the other processor and try there to avoid any application outage. Hardware Instruction Retry requires cooperation between HW and firmware. Alternate Processor Recovery requires the additional cooperation of the OS. We develop all of them so we include that cooperation. Itanium and x86 systems have neither. We have similar features throughout the system. As you can see in the chart above, if Xeon does get all the RAS features itanium has, it will be an improvement, but it will still leave Xeon based systems well behind Power systems.
  6. Now let’s look at reliability, availability, and serviceability. A recent survey (independent - not vender funded) of 400 IT users worldwide by ITIC showed that the combination of AIX and Power Systems provides the best result in each of these categories. Our availability is 99.997% - 2 ½ times the next best UNIX alternative and 10 times better than Windows on x86. 54% of IT execs surveyed say they need 99.99% availability or better. With these kind of results it is no wonder that more and more of them are choosing Power systems. Note that Solaris on SPARC has better availability than Linux on x86. If your client moves to x86, they will be taking a step backward.
  7. To really put balanced performance into perspective, however, we have placed four of the leading performance results on this one chart. The telling statistic, however, is that regardless of workload, POWER7 technology performs. This means that regardless of your workload, POWER7 systems can deliver industry leading performance for your business. This means that you no longer have to buy specialized systems for different workloads. This means that you can feel safe in consolidating multiple workloads onto the p770, knowing that you will get the best possible performance for each of your applications
  8. Virtualization without Limits increases flexibility and reduces costs: Expanded system capability teamed with PowerVM’s performance, scalability and flexibility Workload-optimizing systems improve service levels with assured performance: PowerVM, Intelligent Threads and TurboCore mode enable you to optimize the performance of your workloads in a virtualized environment Consolidation that delivers exponential ROI: Industry’s leading performance, scalability and virtualization now unbounded with DB2 pureScale Dynamic Energy Optimization that balances performance and efficiency: >3X increased performance per watt, new EnergyScale features integrated with Active Energy Manager Resiliency without Downtime: Non-disruptive application upgrades from POWER6 and the improvements to the road for Continuous Availability

POWER7 processors support AltiVec™ instruction set and extended VSX SIMD (single instruction multiple data) acceleration which can execute up to eight single-precision or double-precision floating point operations per clock cycle per core to improve fine-grained parallelism and accelerate data processing. IBM HPC software stack has the development tools, libraries, file systems and system management software necessary to administer a Power 755 server cluster. There will be a HPC technical session on the Power 755 on Wed..
  12. On Slide 7, Clients will now be able to add the p520 and p550 to the list of POWER6 based servers that they can monitor and manage via IBM system director for active energy manager. The ability to collect and report power consumption and system themal data and leverage features such as power capping to control system power under a specified limit and power saving to reduce power when workload or policy allows. The POWER6 chip is also designed to conserve power and reduce heat generated by the server. A feature called “nap” mode enables processor clocks to be dynamically turned off when there is no useful work to be done and turned back on when there are instructions to be executed. This features is supported on all Power6 systems In summary, the POWER6 architecture with Acitve energy manager and POWER6 EnergyScale technology can help clients improve energy efficiency and reduce energy related costs .
