Power 795: New Memory Price/Performance
Easier to buy “standby” memory and Elastic (On/Off) memory
For example … using the 0/128 GB memory features as a comparison:
– Was $31,824 to buy 128GB memory + 64GB activations ---- 64GB inactive
– Now $14,040 to buy 128GB memory + 64GB activations ---- 64GB inactive
Around a 50% reduction !!!
Pie charts below show price of 0/128 GB memory 100% activated

SAME as previous memory features:
Same minimums per server or per book or per socket/SCM
Same minimum activation rules
Same maximums per server or per book
Same considerations mixing of different size memory features
Can mix new (#EM4x 4Gb technology) & old (#56xx 2Gb technology)
Can mix on the same server (assuming 7.6 firmware)
Can mix on the same processor book
BUT can NOT mix on the same socket / SCM
Can continue to buy old memory features even if on Firmware 7.6
But probably a poor economic/environmental decision
Also announcing equivalent bulk memory features #EMB1, EMB2, EMB3, EMB4
(only
used when upgrading from POWER6 595 to Power 795 when POWER6 595 has bulk memory features)

Power 795 Memory Details
• 32 DDR3 DIMM slots per processor book (8 memory feat codes)
• DIMMS: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB
• Plugged in “octants” of DIMMs. 1 feature code = 4 identical DIMMs. So always plug two feat
codes of memory at a time
• CAN mix pairs of different size DIMM features on same processor book
• Per processor book: minimum 2 quad DIMMs (two of the same memory features)
• Per system: minimum of 50% of memory capacity activated or minimum of 32GB memory
activated (which ever is larger)

Power 795 & PCIe Gen2 Function
• Plug GX++ PCIe adapter
directly into GX++ slot on the
processor card
• No cabling except optical fiber
for downstream I/O switch
• Max 3 GX++ PCIe adapters per
per processor book
• Can be in any of the 4 GX slots
• Using a GX++ PCIe adapter
means an I/O drawer can not be
placed in that GX slot. Can
have one or the other. OK to
mix.
• No change to minimum of one

• Two PCIe Gen2 GX++ adapters
• 16 Gb Fibre Channel #EN23
• 10 Gb FCoE/CNA #EN22
Nov GA 2012:
• 2-ports of high performance capability
– Access to full bandwidth of GX++ bus (up to 20 GB/s peak)
– Slightly lower latency than adapter in #5803/5873 I/O Drawer, but
probably not noticeable for most client applications
• Innovative, highly compact packaging
– Combines GX adapter + GX cables + PCIe I/O drawer + PCIe adapter
into just one new 2-port GX adapter
– Can save money, space, energy/cooling, maintenance

Future
IBM plans to expand the capabilities of the EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O Drawer in several areas. First, the number of
servers which support attachment is planned to be expanded to include the Power 770/780 (9117-MMC/9179MHC) and other future servers.
Second, the attachment of up to two #5887 EXP24S Disk Drawers downstream of the Ultra Drawer is planned.
The Ultra Drawer's integrated SAS controllers would then run these EXP24S drawers (up to 48 disk drives) in
addition to the 30 SSD in the Ultra Drawer. Assuming 600GB drives are used in the EXP24S, this would provide
a total of up to 40 TB storage capacity in only 5U of space while using zero PCIe slots.
Third, then later in time, IBM also plans to provide Easy Tier functionality for the EXP30 Ultra Drawer and
downstream EXP24S Disk Drawer combination for AIX and AIX/VIOS. The Ultra drawer's integrated SAS
controllers would automatically monitor and manage the contents of the SSD and HDD and place "hot" (frequently
accessed) content on the SSD and "cold" (less frequently accessed) content on the HDD.
Fourth, IBM plans to expand the integration of IBM Power Systems with the EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O Drawer and
with selected IBM storage solutions such as the IBM Storage System DS8000. With this planned advanced
integration configuration, the Ultra Drawer would provide an extremely low latency cache for the IBM SAN,
improving overall I/O performance while maintaining the SAN's advance capabilities such as FlashCopy and
Metro/Global Mirroring and supporting Power Systems Live Partition Mobility capability.

Additional Solarflare Adapter Information
• Solarflare's SFN6122F and SFN5162F 10Gb Ethernet server adapters can enable
high throughput, low latency and high CPU efficiency, improving the performance
and efficiency of network communications, network-attached storage and remote file
system access. Solarflare's unique hardware-accelerated virtualized NIC (vNIC)
architecture can provide high scalability, high throughput, and low latency benefits to
a wide range of network-intensive applications. Each vNIC provides a dedicated
channel between the network adapter and host software, allowing network I/O
processing to be distributed efficiently over multiple CPU cores. This can reduce or
eliminate processing bottlenecks and can dramatically improve I/O performance on
busy networks.
• Solarflare SFN6122F 10Gb Ethernet adapters support the OpenOnload application
acceleration middleware which can provide ultra-low latency, very high throughput,
and reduced latency jitter even as message loads increase. SFN6122F with
OpenOnload bypasses the network stack in the operating system kernel by
dedicating a vNIC to each accelerated application, reducing the processing
associated with networking and improving core scaling. SFN6122F application
acceleration is based on industry standard APIs and protocols, so, for applications
written to standard POSIX socket APIs, 10 Gb Ethernet accelerated performance
can be achieved without modifications to applications, proprietary protocols, or
specialized networks.

Notes on performance estimates
rPerf 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
