Multi-core CPU’s
April 9, 2008
Multi-Core at BNL
• First purchase of AMD dual-core in 2006• First purchase of Intel multi-core in 2007
– dual-core in early 2007
– quad-core in late 2007
• Motivated to migrate to multi-core – power, space issues
– steep ramp-up for ATLAS

Multi-Core & Facility Operations
• Migration to multi-core has many advantages– physical consolidation
– performance gains
– virtualization
• And also some disadvantages– more complicated facility operations
– cost of licensed software
– network/memory requirements

Near-Term Developments
• 1st purchase of Intel quad-core Harpertown (5400 series) soon at the RACF
• AMD Barcelona quad-core available now (1 year late – competitive with Intel Clovertown)
• Incremental improvements to Harpertown in 2008• Intel Nehalem (next-generation chip on 45 nm
technology) available 2nd-half of 2008 – 1- 8 (or more) cores/cpu
• More info available by SC-08 in Austin (Nov. 08)
Summary
• Significant SI2K/Watt gains with multi-core• Performance improvements not linear with core
count• ATLAS/RHIC benchmark test results generally
differ somewhat from SI2K• Increasing network bandwidth requirements for
multi-core (gigE line rate for 8 cores/server)• Other challenges ahead with multi-core cpu’s
