  • Contents [Edit] History
    HP 9000 is the name for a line of workstation and server computer systems produced by the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP). The HP 9000 brand was introduced in 1984 to encompass several existing technical workstations models previously launched in the early 1980s. Contents [hide] • 1 History • 2 Workstation models o 2.1 Series 200 o 2.2 Series 300/400 o 2.3 Series 500 o 2.4 Series 700 . 2.4.1 VME Industrial Workstations o 2.5 B, C, J class • 3 Server models o 3.1 D-class o 3.2 R-class o 3.3 N-class o 3.4 L-class o 3.5 A-class o 3.6 S/X-class o 3.7 V-class • 4 Operating systems • 5 See also • 6 Notes • 7 References • 8 External links [edit] History The first HP 9000 models comprised the HP 9000 Series 200 and Series 500 ranges. These were rebadged existing models, the Series 200 including various Motorola 68000- based workstations such as the HP 9826 and HP 9836, and the Series 500 using HP's FOCUS microprocessor architecture introduced in the HP 9020 workstation. These were followed by the HP 9000 Series 300 and Series 400 workstations which also used 68k- series microprocessors. From the mid-1980s onwards, HP started to switch over to its own microprocessors based on its proprietary PA-RISC ISA, for the Series 600, 700, 800, and later lines. More recent models use either the PA-RISC or its successor, the HP/Intel IA-64 ISA. All of the HP 9000 line run various versions of the HP-UX operating system, except earlier Series 200 models, which ran standalone applications.

  • HP Integrity Superdome Servers 16- Processor, 32- Processor, and 64
    HP Integrity Superdome Servers 16- processor, 32- QuickSpecs processor, and 64- processor Systems Overview DA - 11717 Worldwide — Version 43 — August 1, 2007 Page 1 HP Integrity Superdome Servers 16- processor, 32- QuickSpecs processor, and 64- processor Systems Overview At A Glance The latest release of Superdome, HP Integrity Superdome supports the new and improved sx2000 chip set. The Integrity Superdome with the sx2000 chipset supported the Mad9M Itanium 2 processor at initial release. HP Integrity Superdome currently supports the following processors: sx2000 Dual core Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processor Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processor sx1000 Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processors HP mx2 processor module based on two Itanium 2 processors HP sx1000 Integrity Superdome supports mixing the Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processor and the HP mx2 processor module in the same system, but in different partitions, as long as they have the same chipset. All cell boards to be mixed in a system must contain the same chipset, sx1000 or sx2000, but not both. HP Integrity sx1000 Superdome supports mixing the Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processor, PA 8800 and PA 8900 processors in the same system, but on different partitions, again only with the same chipset, sx1000. HP Integrity sx2000 Superdome supports mixing the Dual-core Itanium 2 1.6-GHz, Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processor and PA 8900 processors in the same system, but on different partitions, again only with the same chipset, sx2000. Throughout the rest of this document, the term HP sx1000 Integrity Superdome with Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processors or mx2 processor modules will be referred to as simply "Superdome sx1000." The HP sx2000 Integrity Superdome with dual core Itanium processors or single core Itanium 2 processors will be referred to as "Superdome sx2000." Superdome with Itanium processors showcases HP's commitment to delivering a 64 processor Itanium server and superior investment protection.

  • Overview of Recent Supercomputers
    Overview of recent supercomputers Aad J. van der Steen high-performance Computing Group Utrecht University P.O. Box 80195 3508 TD Utrecht The Netherlands [email protected] www.phys.uu.nl/~steen NCF/Utrecht University July 2007 Abstract In this report we give an overview of high-performance computers which are currently available or will become available within a short time frame from vendors; no attempt is made to list all machines that are still in the development phase. The machines are described according to their macro-architectural class. Shared and distributed-memory SIMD an MIMD machines are discerned. The information about each machine is kept as compact as possible. Moreover, no attempt is made to quote price information as this is often even more elusive than the performance of a system. In addition, some general information about high-performance computer architectures and the various processors and communication networks employed in these systems is given in order to better appreciate the systems information given in this report. This document reflects the technical state of the supercomputer arena as accurately as possible. However, the author nor NCF take any responsibility for errors or mistakes in this document. We encourage anyone who has comments or remarks on the contents to inform us, so we can improve this report. NCF, the National Computing Facilities Foundation, supports and furthers the advancement of tech- nical and scientific research with and into advanced computing facilities and prepares for the Netherlands national supercomputing policy. Advanced computing facilities are multi-processor vectorcomputers, mas- sively parallel computing systems of various architectures and concepts and advanced networking facilities.

All rights reserved. Virtualizing Legacy PA-RISC Based Servers and Applications Abstract Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) offers a product called HPE 9000 Containers. This product allows you to virtualize older, legacy, PA-RISC based HP-UX servers and their applications onto newer Itanium-based HP-UX servers. In this white paper we will explore how Service IT Direct has used this product with two of its customers to increase their application performance and availability while decreasing rack space usage, power and cooling requirements, and maintenance costs. Customer Problems Service IT Direct was approached by two customers asking for a solution that would allow them to modernize their aging PA-RISC based hardware, running HP-UX, and storage environment. However, they still need to run legacy versions of the HP-UX operating system and their databases and applications currently in production. Some of the reasons given for this request were: age of the hardware; increasing number of service calls for the hardware; increasing cost of hardware maintenance; system and application performance, or lack thereof; lack of system redundancy; rack space usage; power inefficiency.
