The IBM System p 575 cluster node server is designed to excel at high performance computing (HPC) applications for organizations involved in engineering problem solving, drug design, oil reservoir modeling, weather forecasting, financial simulation and business intelligence (BI). Use it in clustered configurations of as few as 16 CPUs or in world class supercomputer configurations of more than 2,000 processors.
The System p 575 features a choice of two powerful nodes. An 8-core node includes dual-core 2.2 GHz POWER5+ processors with only a single core active. Each processor core has access to 1.9MB of L2 and 36MB of L3 dedicated cache for HPC and BI applications. Also available is a 16-core node built with dual-core 1.9 GHz chips that have both cores active. In this case, two processor cores share access to the same L2 and L3 cache. Although per processor cache and memory bandwidth are less, the 16-core node achieves up to 60% more floating-point performance 1 for HPC applications than the 8-core node.
