AMD Opteron ™ 6100 Series is not the latest series released
by AMD. But there is no harm if we review this series processor so that we
could obtain comparable data for the next series.
AMD-P
The AMD-P suite of power-saving technologies to help
customers maximize the performance per watt in their datacenter and can help
lower power and cooling costs.
Features and Benefits
AMD-P 2.0
FEATURE
|
FUNCTION
|
BENEFIT
|
APML (Advanced Platform Management Link)
|
Provides an interface to the processor and Management
System monitoring and control of system resources (in APML-enabled
platforms); Consists of Remote Power Management Interface (RPMI) and
Precision Thermal Monitor
|
Remote Power Management Interface (RPMI):
Precision Thermal Monitor:
§ Provide
accurate information about the CPU to monitor thermal power / cooling and
proactively remind Base Management Controller (BMC)
|
AMD CoolSpeed Technology
|
Reducing p-state when temperature limit is reached
|
|
C1E
|
A state of sleep called when all processor cores are
idle
|
This feature can equate to significant electricity savings
in your datacenter depending on system configuration, when the Northbridge
and HyperTransport ™ technology links are turned off and the cores are in
idle.
|
LV-DDR3
|
Low voltage memory standard memory at 1.35V vs 1.5V
|
Helping to reduce the overall power consumption
|
Direct Connect Architecture 2.0
HyperTransport ™ 3.0 technology (HT3) enables outstanding
speed interconnect between the channel core, quad-memory cache and supports
DDR3 memory up to 1333MHz.
FEATURE
|
FUNCTION
|
BENEFIT
|
Up to DDR-3 1333 (1.333 GHz)
memory support
|
Provide higher peak
throughput than earlier memory technologies
|
Enables improved overall
system performance and investment protection compared to previous
technologies
|
Quad Channel Memory
|
Doubling the memory capacity
compared to previous generations of AMD Opteron ™ processor 1
|
To improve the performance,
especially in memory-intensive workloads
|
HyperTransport ™ Technology
Assist (HT Assist)
|
Helps to increase coherent
memory bandwidth and reduces the latency in multi-node systems by reducing
cache probe traffic between the core
|
Can result in faster query
can increase performance for cache sensitive applications such as database,
virtualization, and compute intensive applications.
|
HyperTransport ™ 3.0
technology (HT3)
|
Provides superior system
bandwidth between the CPU and I / O, increasing the level of interconnection
of 2GT / s with HT1 in the previous generation to a maximum 6.4GT / s with
HT3
|
Help improve overall system
balance and scalability for scale out computing environments such as HPC,
database, and web serving
|
Cache & Core Total
|
Integration up to 12 cores in
the same package, and each core has its own L1 and L2 cache and 12MB L3 cache
shared
|
Offers improved performance
and performance / watt (compared to prior generations) for multithreaded
environments like virtualization, database, and web serving
|
AMD Virtualization ™ 2.0
AMD Virtualization (AMD-V ™) technology is a set of hardware
extensions to the x86 system architecture that allows you to better utilize
your resources, which helps make your servers, clients, and data centers more
effectively.
FEATURE
|
BENEFIT
|
Virtualization extensions to
the x86 instruction set
|
Enables software to more
efficiently create virtual machines so that multiple operating systems and
their applications to run concurrently on the same machine
|
Tagged BIS
|
Hardware features that
facilitate efficient switching between virtual machines for better
application responsiveness.
|
Virtualization Rapidly
Indexing (RVI)
|
Helps accelerate the
performance of many virtualized applications by enabling hardware-based
virtual machine memory management.
|
AMD-V ™ Extended Migration
|
Hardware feature that helps
virtualization software enable live migration of virtual machines between all
available AMD Opteron ™ processor generation.
|
I / O Virtualization
|
Enables direct device access
by a virtual machine, through the hypervisor to improve application
performance and increasing isolation of virtual machines to improve the
integrity and security.
