| 1181.1 | oh dear, its real | RDGENG::WILLIAMS_A | | Tue Apr 29 1997 07:44 | 5 |
| confirmed, appears to be shippable in June / July. Called a 570 (I
think the letter prefix is still K), so I was told. PA8200, but no
confirmation yet of clock or cache schema.

| 1181.2 | too real now.... | MINNY::rahel.zuo.dec.com::dolder | | Fri May 23 1997 11:22 | 13 |
| and now it's very real.. for details see HP's web site.
* K570, 6 x 8200 @ 200 Mhz/ up to 8GB Mem
* V2200, 16 [later 32] x 8200 @ 200 Mhz, 15GB/s crossbar
* HP-UX 11, full 64-bit UNIX
slowly but surely we're surrounded by some quite scalable and powerful machines.
The little bit of good news is that V2200/HP-UX 11 will only ship Q4CY97.
But even from then on it's a long time until we'll ship
our W-class :-) systems.

| 1181.3 | At least V-Class is smoke | KAMPUS::NEIDECKER | EUROMEDIA: Distributed Multimedia Archives | Wed May 28 1997 02:57 | 28 |
| What I find funny about the V2200:
15 Gbyte/sec. crossbar
If you look at their picture, they have pairs of PA8200 sharing
a 960 Mbyte/sec. port to the crossbar. The 960 is their marketing
peak, the real peak is 768 and the achievable STREAM bandwidth
something like 250 Mbyte. To arrive at their 15 Gbyte/sec. claim the
are counting the sum of all the meaningless peaks. That box is
bandwidth limited, even for something as mundane as SPECfp_rate95:
V-Class Systems Performance Estimates
# of CPU SPECrateint95 SPECratefp95
1 120 135
2 235 270
4 460 500
8 910 890
12 1320 1180
16 1680 1350
For comparison:
AlphaServer 8400 5/440 12 CPU 1115
AlphaServer 8400 5/440 1 CPU 153
So, yes we are bandwidth limited as well, but we can still meet their
newest (not even shipping stuff) per CPU with older machines.

| 1181.4 | another day in the trenches.. | RDGENG::WILLIAMS_A | | Wed May 28 1997 06:28 | 10 |
| yeah, V class sounds like noise. I'll let Mr Henning apply the scalpel.
Re the K 570 - is the cache schema the 'same' as the K460 ?
Oh, and anyone seen any SPEC figures for a UE10000, let me know...

| V2200 will have PCI I/O, so We might even generate some FUD:
"Is HP-HSC (and HP-PB) dying?"
