Sparc64 VIIIfx: A New-Generation Octocore Processor for Petascale Computing

The Sparc64 VIIIfx eight-core processor, developed for use in petascale computing systems, runs at speeds of up to 2 GHz and achieves a peak performance of 128 gigaflops while consuming as little as 58 watts of power. Sparc64 VIIIfx realizes a six-fold improvement in performance per watt over previous generation Sparc64 processors.

SPARC64™ VIIIfx: Fujitsu's new generation octo core processor for PETA scale computing

Presents a collection of slides covering the following topics: SPARC64™ VIIIfx; octo core processor; PETA scale computing; high performance computing-arithmetic computational extensions; register sets; SIMD; FP trigonometric functions; software controlled cache; and integrated multicore parallel architecture.

Fine grained power analysis and low-power techniques of a 128GFLOPS/58W SPARC64 ™ VIIIfx processor for peta-scale computing

An 8-core SPARC64™ VIIIfx processor is fabricated in a 45nm CMOS process and achieves a peak performance of 128GFLOPS. Measured results show that the processor consumes only 58W of power when executing a maximum power program. Fine-grained power analysis was used to tune the micro-architecture for low power consumption, and circuit-level low-power techniques were developed. Water cooling and supply voltage adjustment contribute to power reduction at the system level.

SPARC64™ VIIIfx: Fujitsu’s New Generation Octo Core Processor for PETA Scale computing

The SPARC64 XII 12-core processor, developed for high-performance, mission-critical servers, runs at speeds of up to 4.35 GHz and achieves a peak performance of 417 GIPS and 835 Gflops. SPARC64 XII realizes a 2.3-2.9 times improvement in core performance over the previous-generation SPARC64 X+.

SPARC64TM XII: Fujitsu's latest 12 core processor for mission critical servers

This paper describes the design, microarchitecture, and performance of the latest Fujitsu SPARC64 XII 12 core microprocessor which has been developed for high performance, mission critical servers. Dual instruction pipelines, 8-way SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading), a high CPU frequency of over 4 GHz, and a 12 core design have doubled the chip performance compared with the previous SPARC64 X+, while keeping its high single thread performance.
