IBM z10 processor core 20-Takes Crown

IBM said that its central z10 consumes 85% less energy and needs 85% less surface 1500 x86 processors that can not even keep up.

IBM yesterday announced its new System z10 mainframe, with its next generation of processors z10. IBM said that the z10 is designed from the ground up to dramatically increase the efficiency of the data center and reduce the power and floor space requirements, as well as the costs of cooling.

The new z10 is equal to almost 1500 in the performance of x86 servers and requires up to 85% less energy and requires up to 85% less space. IBM also claims that the system allows for the consolidation of the software license x86 to a ratio of 30:1.

The purpose z10 uses 64-built four-processor cores performance and scalable enough to support hundreds to hundreds of thousands of users agree with IBM. The server supported by a wide range of workloads including Linux, XML, Java, WebSphere and IBM is working with Sun Solaris to carry the z10.

IBM describes 991 million transistors on the processor Quad processor with 3 MB level 2 cache per core. The company claims the chip can operate above 4.4 GHz. A separate, dedicated “service” processor adds 24MB of L3 cache, shared between all processor cores.

The highest-end processors use z10 Quad five packages of dying and two cores services, which in the 20 kernels 4.4 GHz, 60 MB of level 2 cache and 48 MB of shared L3 cache on a single processor .

IBM was in the press in early February 2008 to propose a single supercomputer, capable of accommodating the entire Internet as a web application. With the z10 IBM’s ambitious plan might not be as far from a dream.
