Performance and Scalability
●
Powered by two Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable Skylake or Cascade Lake processors, the
server provides up to 28 cores, 3.8 GHz frequency, a 38.5 MB L3 cache, and
two 10.4 GT/s UPI links between the processors, which deliver supreme
processing performance.
–
It supports up to two processors with 56 cores and 112 threads to
maximize the concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.
–
An L2 cache is added. Each core can exclusively use 1 MB of L2 cache and
at least 1.375 MB of L3 cache.
–
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run faster
than the frequency specified in the Thermal Design Power (TDP)
configuration if they are operating below power, current, and
temperature specification limits.
–
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables each processor core to run up
to two threads, improving parallel computation capability.
–
The hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) allows
operating system (OS) vendors to better use hardware to address
virtualization workloads.
–
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) significantly
accelerates floating-point performance for computing-intensive
applications.
–
The Cascade Lake processors support Intel® Deep Learning Boost vector
neural network instructions (VNNI) to improve the performance of deep
learning applications.
●
The server supports double data rate 4 (DDR4) registered dual in-line
memory modules (RDIMMs) and load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) with error
checking and correcting (ECC). A server fully configured with twenty-four
2933 MT/s memory modules (only available with Cascade Lake processors)
provides 3072 GB memory space and the maximum theoretical memory
bandwidth of 249.9375 GB/s.
●
Flexible drive configurations cater to a variety of business requirements and
ensure high elasticity and scalability of storage resources.
●
The use of all solid-state drives (SSDs) is supported. An SSD supports up to
100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical hard disk
