4.2 System architecture
The IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 compute node features the Intel E5-2600 v2
series processors. The Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processor has models with
either 6, 8, 10, or 12 cores per processor with up to 24 threads per socket.
The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors (formerly known by the Intel code
name
Ivy Bridge-EP
) are the successors of the first implementation of Intel’s
micro architecture that is based on tri-gate transistors, Intel Xeon E5-2600 series
(formerly
Sandy Bridge-EP
). The Xeon E5-2600 v2 series uses a 22nm
manufacturing process in contrast to the 32nm used by its predecessor. By using
this new, smaller 22nm tri-gate transistor technology, you can design more
powerful processors with better power efficiency.
