Improved SP Floating Point performance

POWER7/7+ has four FP pipelines.

Each pipeline in POWER7/7+ can do either a SP or a DP.

DP width is 2x of SP.

POWER7/7+ feeds two SP in each DP pipeline� Needed separate area for control and some status bits.

In POWER7: Two DP pipe together can execute a 2-way SIMD FPDP instruction.

In POWER7+: Same two DP pipe together now can execute a 4-way SIMD SPFP instruction.

Two 4-way SIMD SPFP instruction can be executed in POWER7+� Only one in POWER7.

Multiply-add counting as two, POWER7+ has 16 SP FLOP per cycle

POWER7+ Encryption Accelerator Client Benefits

� Can be applied to a broader set of data creating a stronger security ecosystem

� POWER7+ core focused on application performance.

� Two primary AIX security applications: 1) Encrypted File Systems protecting your data in storage or on backup media 2) IPsec protecting your data over the network.

� Ensures that the high demand for entropy on a heavily loaded systems always yields high quality random numbers.

� RNG offload provides entropy snd security is ensured

� Processor performance focused on your applications.

Technology

� Crypto Offload Accelerators:

o Provide cryptographic engines to relieve the POWER7+ processor from the performance intensive cryptographic algorithms of AES, SHA, and RSA.

� High quality random numbers:

o Generated with high performance with the RNG offload feature of the POWER7+ processor.

New Power On Reset Engine (PORE)� Enables a processor core to be re-initialized

while system remains up and running� Directly used to:

�Allow for Concurrent Firmware Updates: In cases where a processor initialization register value needs to be changed

L3 Cache dynamic column repair� New self-healing capability that

complements cache line delete� Uses PORE feature to substitute a failing

bit-line for a spare during run-time.

New Fabric Bus Dynamic Lane Repair� POWER7+ has spare bit lanes that can

dynamically be repaired (using PORE)�For Busses that connect CEC drawers�Avoids any repair action or outage

related to a single bit failure.

POWER7+ RAS Specific Features

Dynamic Processor Fabric Bus repair

Fabric busses run between CEC drawers / use ECC protection.

Spare signals run between the drawers.

If fault occurs on one of the signals, ECC allows continued operations until we dynamically activate and start using a spare.

Activation of a spare involves temporarily stopping the clocks using a power savings mode that is new for POWER7+.

Transparent to applications since it is a very momentary pause that allows us to switch from one signal to another on the bus

At least 2 bits can be bad and can be tolerated �First bit can be "self-healed" without any need to take a service action.

Competition: Single bit-line error will cause an entire lane of traffic to be taken out of commission –� Major impact to performance,� Drive the necessity of a service action.

Power 750 / 760 Performance Considerations

Power 750+ / 760 systems design / topology is similar to Power 770 with 6 core sockets�Similar workload characteristics�Bandwidths between cores is higher than those between

Sockets / Nodes�Latency across Sockets / Nodes is higher than latencies between cores

Memory Bandwidth per core�Power 750+ = Power 750�Power 760 < Power 750

�Power 760 has more cores per socket

Power 750/760 Integrated Multifunction Card

Four Integrated Multifunction Card (IMFC) options #1768 = $ 1785 #EN10 = $ 3013 #1769 = $ 3358 #EN11 = $ 4061

Every 750/760 needs one …. can change to different feature later if needed� Power down server to replace (not hot plug)

Does not require a PCIe slotUse VIOS to virtualize (no integrated virtualization without VIOS)

IBM i requires VIOS for Ethernet ports (native support of USB ports) � IBM i LAN consoles must be native, not connected through VIOS

Rear view of POWER7+

750/760

� Four Ethernet ports– Two SFP+

(Copper or Optical SR)

– Two RJ45

� Two USB ports� One serial port

Integrated Multifunction Card#EN10 / #EN11

�Compared to #1768 / #1769 Multifunction Card – #EN10/EN11 have expanded Ethernet port capabilities

• Higher function SFP+ ports … CNA (Converged Network Adapter = NIC + FCoE) … can reduce the number of PCIe adapters needed

• Higher speed RJ45 ports … 10Gb … and lower cost cabling option to attach to 10Gb switches vs SR optical or Copper twinax

– Same USB and serial port capabilities

�Available for POWER7+ 750/760 – SOD for 770/780 (‘C’ and ‘D’ models)

�NPIV support through VIOS for FCoE

�AIX, IBM i, Linux, VIOS support– Identical to POWER7+ 750 / 760 support levels– Note IBM i -- VIOS required. For SFP+ ports, NIC supported, FCoE not tested/supported
