Blade Computing - CPU Density vs Memory Density
While there are competitive products that have a better Core density within one Rack than our Constellation System, there is simply no blade solution that can compete with our blade memory density.
The question here realy is, what is the best combination! This leads me back to the question, why blades? One of the main reasons why customers choose the blade technology is:
So, let's look at the solutions and most innovative Sun Blades we have available at the moment!
Sun Blade T6320 UltraSparc T2 Single Socket Server Module
To summ up the calculations:
One Constellation Rack in combination with the Sun Blade X6450 provides 768 Cores and 4.608 TB RAM. This are 6GB RAM per Core!
Do you need more RAM per core?
One constellation Rack in combination with the Sun Blade X6250 or X6220 provides 384 Cores and 3.072 TB RAM. This are 8GB RAM per Core!
Do you need Sparc Technology?
One Constellation Rack in combination with the Sun Blade T6320 provides 384 Cores and 3.072 TB RAM. This are also 8GB RAM per Core! Now as we talk about CMT - Chip Multi Threading, this would be 1GB per Thread. Also very interesting is the power consumption for this UltraSparc T2 Blade Solution!
Summary, we can deliver an intelligent Blade Design with the right CPU/RAM combination, and this within the single and standardized Sun Blade 6000 Enclosure.
The question here realy is, what is the best combination! This leads me back to the question, why blades? One of the main reasons why customers choose the blade technology is:
- VIRTUALIZATION
- DENSITY
- POWEREFFICIENT COMPUTING
So, let's look at the solutions and most innovative Sun Blades we have available at the moment!
Sun Blade T6320 UltraSparc T2 Single Socket Server Module
- 1x 8 Core UltraSparc T2 CPU
- 16x Dimm Slots = 64 GB Fully Buffered DDR2 Memory (with 4GB Dimms)
- 2x 4 Core AMD Opteron CPUs
- 16x Dimm Slots = 64 GB ECC DDR2 Memory (with 4GB Dimms)
- 2x 4 Core Intel Xeon CPUs
- 16x Dimm Slots = 64 GB FBDIMM Memory (with 4GB Dimms)
- 4x 4 Core Intel Xeon CPUs
- 24x Dimm Slots = 96 GB DDR2 FBDIMM Memory (with 4GB Dimms)

This information is really nice posted by you, before sometime i was looking for difference between CPU Density V/S Memory Density finally i have find this information by reading your blog. this will be helpful for me.
