The Model 40P offers a low-priced platform for a set of AIX
Solutions. This extension of the RISC System/6000 family into the
entry technical and commercial client opportunity continues the RISC
System/6000 leadership in open systems. The Model 40P includes:
Investment Protection: The Model 40P can grow as needs grow. The
system is designed for easy user installation of L2 cache and
additional memory, disk, tape, and network communications. New and
additional features from IBM, such as processor upgrades, will also
be designed for easy customer installation to protect the initial
investment.
Performance can be enhanced by the optional IBM L2 Cache.
Modern RISC processors like the PowerPC 601 in the Model 40P process
data at a prodigious rate -- for example, the 601 processor in the
Model 40P can execute a maximum of five operations every 15
nanoseconds. A significant challenge in computer system design is to
keep the processor filled with enough new instructions and data so it
can operate at maximum capacity.
A typical technique is the use of a cache, a small amount of very
fast memory holding the next few thousand instructions and data for
the processor. Given the sequential nature of the instruction stream
of most customers' programs, very often the next instruction and data
to be processed will be found in the cache, and can be quickly
executed by the processor, without requiring the access of the slower
main memory.
Performance of many programs is dramatically improved by the
introduction of a secondary L2 cache, in addition to the on-chip 32K
L1 cache. The optional 256KB of L2 cache can be accessed by the
processor quicker than conventional memory. This provides an
additional cache for larger programs, thus increasing the probability
that the next instruction or data can be found in the cache, and
avoiding the access of main memory.
The performance benefits of the L2 cache are achieved without
modification to the application software.
The Model 40P uses PCI-based graphics adapters and offers high
performance for graphics-intensive applications. The adapter choices
depend on the price/performance the user requirements. The adapters
are:
The announcement of the IBM RISC System/6000 Model 40P entry
workstation provides a new, low-price point for the RISC System/6000
workstation product line. The 40P balances new features with proven
RS/6000 performance and reliability. The 40P was developed with
superior expansion, delivering a system flexible enough for customers
in a range of commercial and technical applications.
The 40P complements the current RS/6000 workstations by providing AIX
compatibility and new graphics adapters optimized for application
areas that are less demanding than engineering graphics such as
retail, insurance, and finance industry applications.
The 40P delivers excellent investment protection through flexible
options for visual, storage, and connectivity. Specifically, these
options include:
The RS/6000 Model 40P entry workstation provides a glimpse into the
future with its PowerPC Reference Platform architecture that allows
other system providers to develop open and compatible systems based
on the PowerPC Architecture(TM). IBM RS/6000 workstations will
continue to provide industry leading system and graphics performance
to a wide range of technical and commercial customers with POWER and
PowerPC microprocessors and IBM graphics technology.
IBM intends to provide a PowerPC microprocessor upgrade option for
the IBM RISC System/6000 Model 40P. This processor upgrade card will
include a 604 PowerPC microprocessor and will significantly enhance
the system performance of the IBM RISC System/6000 Model 40P
product. This 604 processor upgrade represents IBM's current intent,
which is subject to change or withdrawal, and represents only goals
and objectives.
