IBM P5 575

The IBM ® p5 575 cluster nodes are designed as high-powered building blocks for "extreme" performance computing applications.IBM P5 575

Featuring either innovative dual-core 1.9GHz IBM POWER5 modules with only a single core active or conventional 1.5GHz dual-core modules packed into a highly dense enclosure, the p5-575 delivers very high memory bandwidth.

The 8-way node offers twice the per processor cache of any POWER5 SMP while the 16-way node offers the ability to achieve a new level of price/performance for compute intensive applications.

Highlights

  • High-powered building blocks designed for the most demanding HPC and BI applications
  • Combines powerful IBM POWER5™ processors with extraordinary memory bandwidth
  • Innovative packaging helps minimize space requirements, reduce environmental demands and simplify system management

The p5-575 outstanding performance potential results from several factors:

  • IBM's powerful POWER5 processor
  • IBM's packaging technology, which connects the eight or 16 POWER5 processors with a wide, high-speed fabric
  • Use of highly interleaved flat shared memory, which enables high sustained memory bandwidth
