IBM System p5 575 (Frame-mount) To be used in clustered configurations as small as 16 CPUs or in large world class supercomputer configurations of over 2,000 processors, the System p5 575 is designed for superior performance in high performance computing environments like drug design, oil reservoir modeling, financial simulation, or engineering problem solving. With the powerful choice of an 8-core node that includes dual-core 2.2 GHz POWER5+ processors, or a 16-core node built with dual-core 1.9 GHz chips with both cores active, the System p5 575 features a high memory bandwidth and ultra-dense design. | Processor cores | Eight or 16 IBM POWER5+ | | Clock rates (Min/Max) | 2.2 GHz (8-core) 1.9 GHz (16-core) | | System memory (Std/Max) | 1 GB / 256 GB | | Internal storage (Std/Max) | 73.4 GB / 2.9 TB | | Performance (rPerf range)*** | 66.44 (8-core) and 111.4 (16-core) |
IBM System p5 590 (Frame-mount) The System p5 590 features mainframe reliability and rapid scalability to address your changing needs with ease. Ideal for server consolidation, the System p5 590 uses 64-bit POWER5 technology in up to 32-core symmetric multiprocessing configurations to provide superior performance, security, flexibility, and scalability necessary for the consolidation of critical AIX 5L and Linux applications on a single system. | Processor cores | Eight to 32 IBM POWER5+ | | Clock rates (Min/Max) | 2.1 GHz | | System memory (Std/Max) | 8 GB / 1 TB | | Internal storage (Std/Max) | 146.8 GB / 18.7 TB (using optional I/O drawers) | | Performance (rPerf range)*** | 41.68 / 202.88 |
IBM System p5 595 (Frame-mount) The most powerful IBM System p server, the p5 595 can consolidate all application workloads onto a single system, providing superior performance, scalability, flexibility, and reliability. Powered with IBM’s 64-bit POWER5+ processor cores in up to a 64-core symmetric multiprocessing configuration. Capable of handling complex and critical applications with demanding processing requirements, the p5 595 has twice the number of processors, twice the memory capacity, and nearly four times the commercial performance of IBM’s previous top-of-the-line model. Ultimately, the System p5 595 gives companies a competitive edge by allowing them to make decisions faster. | Processor cores | 16 to 64 IBM POWER5+ | | Clock rates (Min/Max) | 2.1 / 2.3 GHz | | System memory (Std/Max) | 8 GB / 2 TB | | Internal storage (Std/Max) | 146.8 GB / 28.1 TB (using optional I/O drawers) | | Performance (rPerf range)*** | 80.96 / 393.55 |
