This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 10nm Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (formerly codenamed “Ice Lake-SP” or “Ice Lake Scalable Processor”). These processors replace the previous 14nm “Cascade Lake-SP” microarchitecture and are available for…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 7nm AMD EPYC processor (codenamed “Milan” and based on AMD’s Zen3 architecture). EPYC “Milan” processors replace the previous “Rome” processors and are available for sale as of March…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 7nm AMD EPYC processor (codenamed “Rome” and based on AMD’s Zen2 architecture). EPYC “Rome” processors replace the previous “Naples” processors and are available for sale as of August…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 14nm Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (formerly codenamed “Cascade Lake-SP” or “Cascade Lake Scalable Processor”). “Cascade Lake-SP” processors replace the previous 14nm “Skylake-SP” microarchitecture and are available for…
Compute-intensive applications typically require as much system memory bandwidth as can be provided. For this reason, it is very important that system memory be correctly configured and installed. Microway reviews all systems to ensure proper performance (both…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 14nm Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (formerly codenamed “Skylake-SP” or “Skylake Scalable Processor”). “Skylake-SP” processors replace the previous 14nm “Broadwell” microarchitecture (both the E5 and E7 Xeon families)…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 14nm Xeon E5-2600v4 series processors (formerly codenamed “Broadwell-EP”). “Broadwell” processors replace the previous 22nm “Haswell” microarchitecture and are available for sale as of March 31, 2016. For an…
This week I had the opportunity to run the STREAM memory benchmark on a Microway 2U NumberSmasher server which supports up to 3 DIMMs per channel. In practice, this system is typically configured with 768GB or 1.5TB…
Recently, while carrying out memory testing in our integration lab, Lead Systems Integrator, Rick Warner, was able to clearly identify when it is appropriate to choose load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMM) and when it is appropriate to choose registered…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 22nm Xeon E5-4600 v3 series processors (formerly codenamed “Haswell-EP”). “Haswell” processors replace the previous 22nm “Ivy Bridge” microarchitecture and are available for sale as of June 1, 2015.…
