8-64 core systems ARE Scale-up computing - where other x86 vendors are untested
4
Xeon 7500 will extend Nehalem architecture to four & eight socket systems
A MONSTER CHIP IS COMING. The next generation of MP processor is targeted
for production later this year, and by all accounts it is going to be a monster.
Nehalem-EX is part of the Nehalem family of processors, but compared to its siblings
it has the highest cores/threads count, largest shared cache, highest CPU-to-CPU
bandwidth, highest I/O bandwidth, highest memory capacity, highest memory
bandwidth, greatest scalability, and highest level of
Reliability/Availability/Serviceability. Its expected to bring a gargantuan,
unprecedented leap in capabilities and performance--the biggest leap in all of Xeon
product history.

VMware vSphere 4
No more than 8 virtual CPUs can be assigned to a single VM (up from 4 in prior version)
The 8 virtual CPUs option is only available in the high-end Enterprise Plus edition
This constraint limits the type of high-end workloads that can be virtualized
Note: It does not matter if more than 8 CPU cores are available on the physical host
(Example: a four-socket Nehalem EX x86 system will have 32 total cores, but a single
VM cannot be configured to use all 32 of those cores)
PowerVM
Can assign as many CPU cores as are available on the physical host
(Example: a VM (LPAR) can use all 64 cores on a Power 595)
Each virtual CPU can run two threads, resulting in a maximum of 128 threads per VM
Result: A more effective solution for CPU-intensive workloads

* The virtualized system count and energy savings were derived from several factors: A performance factor of 5.67X
was applied to the virtualization scenario based on SPEC results source: www.spec.org . Power 570 (32-core, 16
chips, 2 cores per chip, 4.2 GHz) SPECjbb2005 1,390,087 bops, 86,880 bops/JVM as of 10/7/2008; Sun Fire V890
(16-core, 8 chips, 2 cores per chip) 2.1 GHz, SPECjbb2005 244,846 bops, 30,606 bops/JVM as of 9/25/2008. A
virtualization factor of 3X was applied to the virtualization scenario using utilizations derived from studies conducted by
Alinean available at http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/cio/optimize/opt_wp_ibm_systemp.pdf. A factor of 2X was
used to represent the ability to install two 32-core Power 570 systems in a single rack. Power consumption figures of
5600 W for the IBM Power 570 and 4843 W for the Sun Fire V890 were based on the maximum rates published by
IBM and Sun Microsystems, respectively. Air conditioning power requirement estimated at 50% of system power
requirement. Energy cost of $.0971 per kWh is based on 2008 YTD US Average Retail price to commercial customers
per US DOE at http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_b.html as of 9/25/2008. The reduction in floor
space, power, cooling and software costs depends on the specific customer, environment, application requirements,
and the consolidation potential. Actual numbers of virtualized systems supported will depend on workload levels for
each replaced system.

notes on 39 for 1
*
The number of Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 servers that a single IBM Power 595 server could replace was calculated based on
SPECint_rate2006 results. The peak result for the M5000 is for a 2.4GHz system with 16 processors (chips) and 2 cores per chip. It has
a result of 158. The M5000 result can be found at www.spec.org. It is current as of March 25, 2008. The IBM Power 595 server result is
for a 5.0GHz system with 32 processor (chips) and 2 cores per chip. That result was submitted on April 8, 2008. It will also be posted on
www.spec.org. It has a peak result of 2,080 users. Estimating cumulative capacity as the number of servers times the throughput result
of a single server, the cumulative capacity of the 13 Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 servers is 13 times 158 users or 2,054. The capacity
of the single Power 595 server is greater than the cumulative capacity of the 13 M5000 servers.
A virtualization factor of 3X was applied to the virtualization scenario using utilizations derived from studies conducted by Alinean
available at http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/cio/optimize/opt_wp_ibm_systemp.pdf. That is; the utilization rate for the non-virtualized
capacity of the M5000 server is estimated to be 20% and the utilization rate for the virtualized capacity of the Power 595 is estimated to
be 60%. The used M5000 capacity is therefore estimated as 39*158 * 20% = 1,232.4. The Power 595 server used capacity is estimated
as 2,080* 60% =1,248. Therefore the capacity of the Power 595 server at 60% is > than the cumulative capacity of the 39 M5000
servers at 20% utilization .

** Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 server Maximum AC power consumption of 4,684 VA was sourced from Sun SPARC Enterprise
M4000/M5000 Servers Site Planning Guide available at http://docs.sun.com/source/819-2205-10/Chap2_environ.html as of March 25,
2008. The IBM Power 595 server maximum power requirement is 27,700 VA.
The savings from using the Power 595 were calculated by multiplying the M5000 maximum by 39 for a total of 182,676VA. The Power
595 server maximum requirement of 27,700 VA is 15.16% of the 182,676.
*** The Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 is a rack system. The calculation of floor space here was based on using .1 of Sun Rack 1000-42 for
each M5000. The dimensions of the Sun Rack 1000-42 are 23.5 wide x 39.4 deep. They were sourced for the Sun Rack 1000-42 Tech
Specs available at http://www.sun.com/servers/rack/1000-42/specs.xml#anchor1 as of March 25, 2008. The IBM Power 595 is 30.5 wide
x 58.5 deep for a system with up to 3 I/O drawers.
The savings from using the Power 595 were calculated by multiplying the M5000 floor space by 39 for a total of 62.69 squarefeet.

square footage for the Power 595 is 12.39 square feet which is 19.76% of 62.69.

be less than this value for all of the systems. Four M5000 servers times 3,738 watts equals 14,952. 83% more power than one Power 560 at
2,400 Watts.
20% of Sun V490 SPECint_rate2006 of 78 is 15.6. 60% utilization of the SPARC enterprise M5000 using SPECintrate_2006 is 158.4. Hence, the
M5000 using Solaris containers can support 10 Sun Fire V490 servers. It would require two M5000 servers to consolidate 13 V490s using
Solaris containers.
