Abstract

The IBM RISC System/6000(R) Model R30 is the newest RISC System/6000 rack system offering. The R30 is the first of a family of rack-mountable, symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) servers. The six Electronics Industries Standards (EIA)-unit, rack-mountable enclosure has space for up to four dual processor cards, four memory cards, and 16 Micro Channel(R) bus cards. It comes with a dual PowerPC 601(TM) processor card running at 75MHz with 32KB instruction/data Level 1 (L1) cache and 1MB Level 2 (L2) cache per processor, and 64MB of shared memory. A single system image is provided via AIX(R) Version 4.1.1 for servers operating system.

In addition to the dual-601 processor card and 64MB memory card, the base configuration includes a diskette drive, a SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter, a CD-ROM, a 1GB SCSI-2 disk, and either an AC-input or optional DC-input power supply. An additional dual processor card, an optional media device, and a second, redundant power supply can be ordered. Configurations will initially be limited to a maximum of two dual-601 processor cards.

The Model R30 can be added to existing RISC System/6000 rack configurations or installed in a Model R00 rack in combination with other processor drawers and storage subsystems. A new Cluster Power Controller option is available as a feature of the Model R00 rack to manage power on/off control of one or more processor units along with attached subsystems. The power controller has modem and RS-232 serial interfaces for external communication.

All uniprocessor models of the RISC System/6000 rack family can be upgraded to either the R30 or R3U. The R3U includes the same enclosure as R30 but supports the 900 series model configurations. The upgraded system will have the same serial number as the predecessor system.

An upgrade from the RISC System/6000 Model R10 to the Model R20 is also being announced. For information about a no-charge model conversion from the IBM RISC System/6000 Model R30 PowerPC Server, refer to the Product Preview for RS/6000 PowerPC Servers section.

SMP Technology

Design: The RS/6000's new SMP design incorporates multiple PowerPC processors sharing a single common memory and single copy of the AIX Version 4.1.1 for servers operating system. Jobs are scheduled across the processors, allowing separate processes to be run simultaneously. Data and instructions are accessed from the shared memory, through a high-speed cache to the processors. This simple design with a coherent cache allows programs to exploit the parallelism provided by the multiple processors.

Design Requirements: There are several requirements that the design of a multiprocessor system must satisfy when compared to a uniprocessor system. The SMP design must:

There are several additional requirements placed on the design by the unique characteristics of commercial applications. The key to delivering good commercial performance is not a factor solely of the processor but rather of the memory hierarchy and the ability to do rapid cache-to-cache transfers. Typically commercial applications exhibit data access patterns with a large "footprint". This is very different from scientific or technical workloads. Commercial workloads are characterized by high L1/L2 cache miss rates, heavy memory traffic, and high cache migration rates. As data traffic increases due to the large footprint of commercial workloads, it is evident that the memory bus is potentially a bottleneck. It is critical to performance that the SMP system be designed to handle these applications.

Design Fulfillment: The RS/6000 SMP models have the following major attributes:

The design of the IBM SMP servers is to maximize performance as follows: IBM's new generation of servers provides efficient paths between processors and memory and efficiently manages the processor caches to maintain cache coherency. A distributed directory (snoop) mechanism is used to maintain cache coherency. The traditional memory bus is still present, but it only carries address tags. A non-blocking cross-bar switch is added to the design, which carries the data between cache and memory or cache and cache. A patented, four-deep pipelined snoop architecture is used to provide the highest degree of concurrency in memory and cache operations and operates with the data cross-bar. The design allows operations to take place in a single memory-read cycle, which in other SMP designs will take two or three such cycles.

Reliability and Availability: Reliability and availability are key concerns for any commercial system. In a widely distributed environment this becomes more critical. To address this, the IBM design provides remote and local control. The IBM SMP servers include features such as SystemGuard(TM), an imbedded service processor, that will enable remote operation of the system, remote power-on/power-off, running of diagnostics, service, repair, and console support and processor reconfiguration in case of errors. The support processor is continuously powered even when system power is off. The mirrored console support means that remote service actions are visible and controlled by the customer. This includes control over whether the system can be remotely re-booted. An additional feature is that the system can be set to dial a remote service or support point should the system fail, and a surveillance function allows the system to detect "hang" conditions in the system and, if necessary, invoke a rapid re-boot.

In addition to the service processor, the error checking and correction circuitry protecting memory is able to detect and correct all single-bit failures. Double-bit errors (such as could be caused by a chip failure) will also be detected and auto-re-boot invoked.

The AIX Version 4.1.1 for servers operating system plays an important part in reliability and serviceability. Features such as the Logical Volume Manager, Journaled File System, and dynamic kernel all contribute to a reliable and robust operating system implementation.

Scalability: Scalability is also a key design consideration. IBM SMP servers have been built to be easily upgraded. The packaging permits convenient replacement or upgrading of processor, memory, or I/O adapters. For example, the processors are contained on dual processor cards, and to upgrade from a 2-way to a 4-way system is merely a matter of plugging in an additional dual processor card. It is IBM's intention to support up to six PowerPC 604 processors in the first half of 1995 and up to eight processors by year-end 1995.

RISC System/6000 R00 System Rack

The R00 System Rack provides mounting space and support for Models R10, R20, R24, and R30, and external supported devices. The 1.6-meter rack meets the requirements of the EIA-310C standard. An EIA is a unit measure of vertical mounting space that equals 44.45 mm (1.75 inches). The R00 System Rack has 32 EIA units of vertical mounting space.

The R00 System Rack can be used as both the base rack to support one or more processor drawers with available external supported devices and an expansion rack to support additional external supported devices. AC and DC power distribution units, with or without battery backup for AC, are available. Features are available to provide bolt-down to either a concrete or raised floor.

Two new power features are being announced for the R00 System Rack:

Limitations

Limitations for the Model R30 (per drawer):

Limitations for Disk Storage Adapters and Subsystems on Model R30: Storage configurations can be maximized for individual types of storage or combination of types (for example, all SCSI, all serial-link, and SCSI and serial-link in combination). The following chart shows maximum disk capacity for each maximized configuration. The Assumptions section below defines each adapter/subsystem combination. The Configuration sections below show the type or combination of types of storage in each header followed by the quantity of each adapter in the left-hand column with the quantity of each type of storage in the center and right-hand columns.

PRODUCT POSITIONING

The new RISC System/6000 PowerPC servers are the first of a new generation of systems for business featuring an innovative symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) design that combines the PowerPC -- the leading RISC microprocessor; AIX -- IBM's industrial strength UNIX; and IBM's large systems development experience to bring unprecedented reliability, scalability, and capacity to low-cost enterprise servers. With the addition of these new IBM SMP PowerPC servers and the RISC System/6000 uniprocessors and highly scalable SP2(TM), IBM offers the broadest range of binary-compatible, UNIX-based servers in the industry.

These new SMP systems exploit the performance of the PowerPC 601 in a 2-way or 4-way processor configuration. Over time, these systems will incorporate higher performance PowerPC microprocessors, and, for the Models J30 and R30, up to eight-way processor configurations. This built-in upgrade path allows easy capacity upgrades as performance requirements grow.

Designed to avoid typical performance bottlenecks, IBM's new RISC System/6000 PowerPC servers leverage IBM's extensive large systems experience, applying mainframe-class technology to the SMP design. An innovative non-blocking data crossbar speeds memory/processor interaction, with a sustained memory subsystem bandwidth of 800MB/second. This high memory capacity allows future performance upgrades to most effectively exploit these systems. Reliability has been enhanced with the inclusion of an integrated service processor that continually monitors the system and automatically acts to recover the system from selected error conditions.

Supporting the SMP-enabled AIX Version 4.1.1 for servers operating system, these systems are binary-compatible with the vast majority of the over 10,000 applications available for the RISC System/6000 uniprocessors. Combining resources and experience, IBM and its leading software partners are focused to quickly offer application enablers, such as the leading database offerings, for the new SMP servers to provide timely availability of solutions.

The RISC System/6000 uniprocessors remain best suited for many server applications as they offer strong granularity in performance and expansion and a large range of model upgrades. As performance needs grow beyond the uniprocessors, aggressively priced upgrades are available from many of the deskside and rack-mountable uniprocessors to SMP systems.

Most technical server applications requiring the maximum performance on floating-point or numerically intensive workloads will be best served by the POWER2-based uniprocessors. They continue to offer the best performance and price-performance on these technical applications.

STATEMENT OF GENERAL DIRECTION

Product Preview for RS/6000 PowerPC Servers

The RS/6000 symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) 4-way PowerPC 601 systems will deliver in excess of 1,250 transactions per minute (TPM). IBM intends to significantly increase the performance of the RS/6000 SMP product family over time.

The RS/6000 PowerPC SMP servers are designed to support increasingly powerful generations of PowerPC processors. Introduction of the PowerPC 604 processor in the first half of 1995 will provide a performance increase of 1.5- to 2-times the performance of PowerPC 601-based SMP systems. For planning purposes, IBM expects the performance to increase by a factor of 1.5-times for workloads that scale with the TPM measurement and by a factor of 2-times for workloads that scale with the SPEC benchmarks. System performance will vary depending upon the application.

Introduction of 6-way and 8-way systems and additional software tuning will further increase SMP system performance.

G30, J30, and R30 models installed prior to the planned availability of comparable PowerPC 604-based SMP models will be converted to the 604 processor at no additional charge.

In addition to the model conversions announced today, IBM intends to announce model conversions from RS/6000 desktop server Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, 370, 380, and 390 to the new Model G30.

The RS/6000 Models J30 and J01 will support the 4.5GB SCSI-2 Fast/Wide disk by the first quarter of 1995.

This expectation is based on IBM's knowledge of the aspects of AIX that have been changed and their potential impact to an application running on the system and on IBM's own in-house experiences. However, application providers will need to certify that their individual applications will run unchanged. This is typically done through the vendor's own testing process. Customers, then, should consult the application vendor for verification of compatibility. There are situations where some AIX 3.2.5-based applications will not run unchanged on AIX 4.1.1. Examples include applications that use certain kernel extensions or device drivers. For the vendors of these applications, IBM is providing documentation, education, and support to help the vendor identify the changes necessary to make their application AIX 4.1.1-compatible.

Refer to Hardware Announcement 194-612, for more information.

MODEL CONVERSIONS

Model Conversion to Model R20: A model conversion will be available to upgrade the RISC System/6000 Model R10 to Model R20.

Customers with installed RISC System/6000 Model R10 drawers can upgrade to the higher-performance Model R20. The Model Conversion MES contains the following items:

Memory cards must be installed in pairs of equal capacity on the Model R20. Additional memory cards must be ordered if necessary.

Model Conversion to Model R30 or R3U: Model conversions will be available to upgrade to the R30 or R3U model as follows:

        Model
     From     To

R10 R30 R20* R30 R24* R30 930 R3U 950 R3U 95E R3U 970 R3U 97B R3U 97E R3U 97F R3U 980 R3U 98B R3U 98E R3U 98F R3U 990* R3U 99E* R3U 99F* R3U 99J* R3U 99K* R3U

*     See text following
Note: All models of the RISC System/6000 rack family will be upgradeable to future (604) SMP models.

Customers with installed RISC System/6000 uniprocessor racks or rack drawers requiring additional Transaction Processing performance can upgrade to the new model R30 or R3U. These customers can preserve their investments and attain increased levels of server performance.

All upgrades to the model R30 or R3U will come with one dual (2-way) processor card as standard. An additional dual processor card must be ordered (#4302) when upgrading from certain models marked with an asterisk (*) in the chart above. It is optional with other upgrades.

Upgraded machines must contain the same or equivalent base features as the Model R30 or R3U at the conclusion of the upgrade. The existing RISC System/6000 uniprocessor memory cards are not compatible with the new R30 or R3U Models. The 64MB memory requirement may be satisfied by purchasing new memory cards, converting 128MB or 256MB uniprocessor memory or exchanging memory cards separately as required. (Refer to the Feature Availability Matrix and Charges sections for the memory options and associated charges. A list of memory exchanges is shown at the end of this section.)

Some upgrades may require the purchase of an additional adapter or drawer to support the disks from the original system. If additional hardware is required for the upgrade, it must be purchased with the upgrade or be available at the time of the upgrade. It will also be necessary to perform a prerequisite analysis of all customer machine orders prior to the upgrade being scheduled for shipment.

The new drawer requires additional space in the rear of the rack. A new door (#6096) can be ordered or the door of the existing rack can be removed to provide more space.

AIX Version 4.1.1 for servers must be installed and the customer's applications validated prior to performing the upgrade.

There are several features on the existing models that are not supported on the Model R30 or R3U. Refer to the Feature Availability Matrix section for a listing of supported and non-supported features. Customers must be advised of all features being displaced as a result of upgrading their machine prior to accepting the customer's order.

Any MES features displaced as a result of performing an upgrade remain the property of the customer and should not be returned to IBM.

The upgrades to the Model R30 or R3U contain some or all of the following items:

The replaced chassis with its base features become the property of IBM and must be returned to IBM. Optional features of the replaced system will either be installed in the new system or returned to the customer. The Deep Door for Rack with MP (#6096) should be ordered with the model conversion.

A model conversion of the Models R30 and R3U to the PowerPC 604 processor-based system will be provided at no additional charge for systems installed before the planned availability of comparable PowerPC 604-based systems. Refer to the Product Preview for RS/6000 PowerPC Servers section for more information.

The following memory feature exchange is offered on upgrades to a RISC System/6000 Model R30 PowerPC Server. IBM will exchange currently installed memory cards for equal or greater capacity MP memory cards. The price for this exchange will be less than the list price of a new MP memory card.
