CHAPTER 1 Product Outline
1.1 Key Features
The GP7000F is SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processor) servers with 64-bit SPARC64 GP processors. Each model in
the group has high-performance 64-bit processors, high-speed I/O interfaces and enhanced reliability, availability,
and serviceability (RAS) features. The crossbar configuration is used as the system architecture of the GP7000F,
and the performance of the multi-processor configuration has been improved almost linear scalability.
The GP7000F, which has excellent scalability and reliability, is an ideal server for not only group or department
servers but also for mission-critical enterprise servers.

The availability of these products depends on the Sales and Support Companies. Please contact these
companies.
High-performance SPARC64 GP Processor
The SPARC64 GP is a high performance processor which has an out-of-order execution engine.
The SPARC64 GP supports large size external cache of 2MB/4MB/8MB per processor as well
as 64KB(instruction)+64KB(Data) on-chip cache.
Error Correcting Code (ECC) is used for both on-chip and external cache.
High-performance Multi-Processor Platform
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architecture
The memory system has a high bandwidth, up to 8-way interleaving, and which enables fast
access.
A packet-based bus protocol, to enable a throughput of 1.3 to 1.6 GB/s per processor, is
implemented.
A crossbar configuration, which is based on a packet bus, enables high-level parallel operations
of processors and memory modules, I/O and memory modules, and data transfer among
processors. And, the system delivers scalable performance by installing additional processors
and I/Os.
– The crossbar switch enables parallel operations of several processors and I/Os.
– The performance of the single bus is improved by expanding the bus width and high
frequency operation.
– The efficiency of bus usage is drastically improved by bus control in the packet exchange
system.
High-performance EDO DRAM (Extended Data Out DRAM) is used on the platform for the
memory expansion.(M200, M600)
High-performance SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) is used on the platform for the memory
expansion.(M200R, M400A, M400R, M600R)
