Denis Sheahan blogged on the recent launch of Sun's next-generation chip multithreading (CMT) servers, the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers, which are based on the UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor, the first CMT processor with in-built coherency links that enables 2-way servers with double the former capacity in the same 1U and 2U form factors to deliver the highest compute density in the server market.
BM Seer is wrapping it up for benchmark watchers interested in finding out how Sun's new UltraSPARC T2 Plus Processor Systems are operating in terms of performance. The new systems incorporate two CMT processors. Each UltraSPARC T2 Plus chip includes eight hardware strands in each of eight cores for a total of 128 CPUs, delivering an unprecedented amount of CPU capacity in 1U and 2U packaging. In recent blog posts, Seer lists six benchmark results.
With all the pomp and circumstance surrounding any new release, much less the new multi-chip UltraSPARC T2 Plus systems - Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers, specific information interested users are hunting for can sometimes be hard to find. Thanks to Sun's Allan Packer, potential UltraSPARC T2 Plus enthusiasts need only visit his blog to find a summary of references on these newest additions to Sun's CMT-based systems.
