1.2 PRIMEQUEST Features
1.2.1.2 IPF
The PRIMEQUEST-series machines contain IPF processors, which are Intel 64-bit
processors.
The IPF features reliability and performance levels, as described below, suitable for
large-scale mission-critical systems:
• High reliability
The reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) function is enhanced by the error
detection and correction function incorporated for cache memory and other
components. This improves business continuity.
• High performance
The IPF improves performance because its 64-bit processors use an expanded
memory address space and have higher computing speeds.
• Openness
Since the IPF processors are open-standard IA processors, a wide range of IPF
independent software vendor (ISV) and independent hardware vendor (IHV) products
can be used, thereby expanding the selection of products for system construction.
1.2.1.3 Symmetric multi-processing (SMP) technology
Each processor is the same as any other processor in a multiprocessor system using
SMP technology, so processing can be assigned to any processor. High scalability can
thus be obtained with applications unchanged.
In an SMP system configuration with multiple SBs linked, the PRIMEQUEST 480
supports up to 32 CPUs, and the PRIMEQUEST 440 supports up to 16 CPUs.
By using large-scale SMP technology originally developed for mainframes and UNIX
servers, high performance suitable for a high-reliability large-scale mission-critical
system is implemented.
