What is ENERGY STAR?

ENERGY STAR is a program developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce energy consumptionVoluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy efficient productsComputer servers that earn EPA’s ENERGY STAR include:

– Efficient power supplies that have smaller conversion losses and generate less waste heat,

– Capabilities to measure real time power use– Advanced power management features – Power and Performance Data Sheet

Power 750 Express and Power 755 are the first RISC or Itanium ENERGY STAR-qualified server

TPMD: Thermal Power Management DeviceTPMD card is part of the base hardware configuration.Residing on the processor planarTPMD function is comprised of a risk processor and data acquisitionTPMD monitor power usage and temperatures in real time Responsible for thermal protection of the processor cardsCan adjust the processor power and performance in real time.If the temperature exceeds an upper (functional) threshold, TPMD actively reduces power consumption by reducing processor voltageand frequency or throttling memory as needed.

If the temperature is lower than upper (functional) threshold, TPMD will allows POWER7 cores to “Over clock” if workloads demands are present.

Why TurboCore?TurboCore mode extends per core performance – Clock speed increases from 3.8 to 4.1 GHz– L3 cache doubles from 4 MB per core to 8 MB per core– Memory bandwidth per core doubles– I/O bandwidth per core doubles– Physical memory per core doubles

TurboCore mode provides the best option for minimizing software costs– Provides over 2X the rPerf per core as the POWER6 32 core 570

TurboCore mode allows clients choice and minimizes risk– Clients purchase the system with identical components– Clients choose the mode they wish to run– Clients can change the mode at any time

TurboCore mode eases the transition to highly parallel multi-core systems– Start with TurboCore mode when transitioning from POWER6 systems– Turn off and grow system when application environment is ready to leverage greater levels of parallel

POWER7 HMC Support

HMC V7 R710 is the minimum level for POWER7 support

HMC used to manage any POWER7 processor based server, must be a CR3 or later model rack-mount HMC or C05 or later deskside HMC.

If IBM Systems Director is used to manage an HMC or if the HMC manages more than 254 partitions, the HMC should have 3GB of RAM minimum and be a CR3 model or later rack-mount, or C06 or later deskside.

Where 4 SFF DASD on left (from front view) are assigned to the integrated SAS controller, and 4 SFF DASD on right are assigned to the external rear SAS port.

A PCIe or PCI-X SAS adapter (such as FC 5900 or FC 5901) can access the right 4 SFF DASD via an external SAS cable as shown on a picture below.

Statement of Direction

IBM plans to deliver a new release of IBM i in 2010. Some of the new capabilities planned for this new release include:

The integrated DB2 database for IBM i will be enhanced with support for XML, enabling clients to store and search XML documents. IBM also plans for DB2 for i to support transparent encryption of a specific column in a database table enabling clients to further protect sensitive information. PowerHA for IBM i is planned to support asynchronous replication providing clients a disk clustering

based disaster recovery solution. In addition, PowerHA for i will support LUN-level switching, providing another high availability option for clients with selected IBM System Storage solutions.IBM i storage management will further leverage Solid State Disk technology by automatically moving

data that is accessed most frequently to SSDs, designed to help clients improve application performance.IBM Power Systems and IBM Rational will provide enhancements to RPG enabling RPG programs to

easily work a variety of client applications including web services, mobile devices, and XML. Additional management tasks for IBM i will be available in web-based Systems Director Navigator for i

that IBM plans to include with the IBM i operating system. Additional monitors for IBM i will be added to Systems Director providing an alternative to Management Central for clients with multiple IBM i environments.IBM i integration with BladeCenter and System x via iSCSI technology will be enhanced with support for

software target support. This solution is planned to support a faster connection between IBM i and x86-based systems while potentially lowering the cost of the solution. IBM i support for PDF documents will be enhanced to support the transformation of existing spool files

to PDF files.

The IBM benchmarks results shown herein were derived using particular, well configured, development-level and generally-available computer systems. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application oriented testing. For additional information about the benchmarks, values and systems tested, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller or access the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor.

IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf.html.

All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX Version 4.3, AIX 5L or AIX 6 were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX. The SPEC CPU2006, SPEC2000, LINPACK, and Technical Computing benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers were used: XL C Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL FORTRAN Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX, XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux, and XL FORTRAN Advanced Edition V9.1 for Linux. The SPEC CPU95 (retired in 2000) tests used preprocessors, KAP 3.2 for FORTRAN and KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 v4.01X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors. Other software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX, MASS for AIX and Kazushige Goto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.

For a definition/explanation of each benchmark and the full list of detailed results, visit the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor.

Notes on performance estimatesrPerf for AIX

rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations.

rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM eServer pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Note that the rPerf methodology used for the POWER6 systems is identical to that used for the POWER5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture.

All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about rPerf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller.

CPW for IBM i

Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. More performance information is available in the Performance Capabilities Reference at: www.ibm.com/systems/i/solutions/perfmgmt/resource.html
