ServerWorks Chipset Benefits

 

HT-1000

 

Multiprocessing SystemI/O controller for the HyperTransport-enabled processors

 

Performance, reliability, availability, scalability, and modularity

 

Best-in-class 64-bit performance

• HyperTransport-based architecture reduces I/O bottlenecks and improves overall system performance
• Integrated processor memory controller minimizes latency,yielding better application performance
• Best-in-class 64-bit and 32-bit performance

 

Industry-proven reliability and availability

• Reusable design methodology used with industry-proven functional blocks
• Designed for 24/7 enterprise computing uptime
• Advanced error detection and correction

 

Extensive scalability

• HT multiprocessor architecture allows superior per-processor scalability compared to similar x86 architectures
• Individual HT link widths and clock speeds easily suit cost/ performance targets
• Multiple HT-1000 SystemI/O controllers deliver plenty of I/O devices and slots

 

Modular architecture

• Modular building blocks allow platform designs that scale from the low-end all the way to high-end
• SystemI/O modularity keep costs low without sacrificing functionality
• Modular design allows more freedom to differentiate from competition

 

The HT-1000 utilizes the HyperTransport to interconnect to the CPU/host bridge and I/O bridge solutions. This building block approach enables OEMs to tailor systems to their applications
