Each with 1x2.5 GHz Intel Celeron, 512 MB main memory and 80 GB HDD. <> Pilot is always out of data path and is only used to load OS image, save the traces/debug information etc. <> Each Slammer contains 2 Control Units. Each Control Unit has 2x Intel Xeon Processors. NVRAM memory is mirrored between the Control Units. <> Each Brick has 2 RAID-5 Controllers each with 6 active disks. Each Brick has 1 hot spare disk not used during the benchmark. <> Each RAID controller has 128 MB cache. Each disk has 8 MB cache and works in write-cache enabled mode. Bricks are operated in write through mode and use cache on the controllers and the disks as staging buffer only. <> Each Slammer utilized 2 of 4 Ethernet interfaces. =============================================================================== Generated on Wed Jul 5 14:26:23 EDT 2006 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2004 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
