Product Details

HPC 160 - *******HPC 320********Compaq's HPC160 and HPC320, family of parallel servers, are 16 and 32 CPUsystems configured and tuned for high performance technical computingapplications.*
Based on Compaq's AlphaServer ES40 building blocks, that link four 64 bit Alpha 21264 microprocessors via a high bandwidth crossbar switch. These parallel servers harness the SMP power of 4 or 8 quad processor building blocks in an integrated system via Compaq's Memory Channel II System Area Network. Form Factor Rackmount, choice of single rack 16 CPU systems (HPC160) or dual rack 32 CPU systems (HPC320). Processor/cache Choice of 16 or 32 500 MHz Alpha 21264 CPUs; with 64 KB I-cache, 64 KB D-cache on chip, and 4 MB per CPU L2 cache. Memory 8 GB (HPC160) or 16 GB (HPC320), ECC, 4 way interleaved industry standard DIMM memory, expandable to 64 or 128 GB, respectively. System Four or eight 4 CPU SMP building blocks (ES40) with advanced Architecture dual 256 bit wide memory datapaths and cross-bar switch technology providing 5.2 GB/sec (peak) memory bandwidth; dual 64 bit PCI buses providing 532 MB/s I/O throughput. These are tied together with a Memory Channel II System Area Network, providing 95 MB/s bandwidth per rail, one or two rails per building block. A Compaq Professional Workstation XP1000 is provided as the system management console. Internal 10 64 bit PCI slots, in two PCI buses, per building block, Expansion for a total of up to 80 PCI slots (HPC320) Storage Controllers The HPC160/320 building blocks include an Ultra2SCSI controller. Optional Ultra2-SCSI, Fast SCSI-2, FW SCSI-2, FWD SCSI-2; Ultra SCSI Raid, CI, DSSI can be added. Network Dedicated 100 Mb system management LAN. Optional additional Controllers 10/100 Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, asynchronous communication controllers. Drive Bays In each building block: Up to 12 internal hot swap Compaq drives in the system drawer, implemented using two internal Ultra-2 SCSI cages each supporting either four 1.6" drives or six 1" drives. Three removable media bays per building block: one 3.5" bay for diskette drive one 5.25" for CD-ROM one open full height 5.25" bay for tape or hard disk drives Additional external StorageWorks drive bays or storage arrays can be added. Power Supply Up to three hot swap 750 watt N+1 power supplies per building block: two standard, third optional. Cooling Six hot swap redundant variable speed fans per building block. Interfaces Two serial, one parallel, keyboard, and mouse interface per building block. One serial connection from each building block is tied to a terminal concentrator for use by the Parallel Server Management Utility. High Server management software, hot swap redundant power and Availability cooling, auto reboot, thermal management software, remote system management, RAID, hot swap drives, memory failover, ECC memory, ECC cache, SMP CPU failover, error logging, optional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and UPS Power Management Software. Operating Tru64 UNIX 4.0F Systems Optional Tru64 UNIX TruCluster Available Server & TruCluster Clustering Production Server. Standard Pre installed Tru64 UNIX and the Parallel Server Management Software Utility. Additional server management software and Internet-Energized software are standard on the ES40 building blocks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
