  • Gigaplane-XB: Extending the Ultra Enterprise Family
    Gigaplane-XB: Extending the Ultra Enterprise Family Alan Charlesworth ([email protected]), Andy Phelps, Ricki Williams, Gary Gilbert Sun Microsystems, Inc. Abstract The Gigaplane-XB interconnect of the Starfire system extends the range of Sun’s Ultra Enterprise SMP server family by 4x. It uses multi-level address and data routers to provide 167 million global snoops per second, and 10,667 MBps of uniform-memory-access band- width. The use of point-to-point routers allows the system to be dynamically reconfigured into multiple hardware-protected operating system domains, with hot-swappable boards. Comparisons are made with the bus-based technology of the smaller family members. 1. Introduction Table 1 compares the memory-port architectures of cur- rent microprocessors.

This trend was motivated by the need to provide dedicated interconnection fabric — much in the same way everyone with a bit-mapped display, and it was made as a building’s telephone services are accessed by a possible by the widespread availability of collection of handset devices. The stateless desktop design high-performance workstations. However, the desktop provides a useful mobility model in which users can computing model is not without its problems, many of transparently resume their work on any desktop console. which were raised by the original UNIX designers[14]: This paper examines the fundamental premise in this “Because each workstation has private data, each system design that modern, off-the-shelf interconnection must be administered separately; maintenance is technology can support the quality-of-service required by difficult to centralize.
