HP servers and balanced architecture
HP servers achieve a balanced architecture through superior engineering of fundamental elements. These elements
include mechanical infrastructure, power, cooling, processor, and memory as well as I/O devices, storage,
boot, networking, and interconnecting components. A balanced architecture involves:
Compute capability based on processor core count, cache size per processor, and processor socket count
Low-latency processor-to-memory bandwidth, commensurate with this compute capability
Memory footprint that maximizes bandwidth and capacity with power-efficiency and performance without
compromising quality or reliability
Application-appropriate I/O devices
Closely-coupled and balanced processor-to-memory and processor-to-I/O ratios
Mechanical design that ensures optimum levels of cooling, stability, and serviceability through space-efficient and
modular partitioning
By designing a balanced architecture, HP ensures that all subsystems perform effectively under a broad range of
applications and workloads.
For example, a virtual machine (VM) benefits from memory, coupled to the processor responsible for that VM. In
addition, a server needs to have appropriate levels of I/O bandwidth and CPU capabilities to ensure that every VM
has the resources it needs.
DL580 G7 architecture
The DL580 G7 is a powerful, 4U enterprise server incorporating technologies that extends the capabilities of
industry-standard x86 computing. This high-performance server can run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications
simultaneously. There is no performance penalty when the server uses an operating system that supports 64-bit
extensions.
The server’s architecture includes the following essential features:
The new Intel Xeon Processor E7 series allows the DL580 G7 to support up to 40 cores and 80 hyperthreads
(10 cores/20 threads and 30MB shared cache per processor. This design allows for improved performance of
