• Each Core has its own Floating Point Unit. This removes completely the 2% FP restriction of T1.

• Only a 6 cycle penalty to the FPU> T1 required upwards of 28 cycles

• Fully-pipelined (except divide/sqrt)> Divide/sqrt in parallel with add or multiply operations of other

threads• Full VIS 2.0 implementation in hardware, no emulation• FPU performs integer multiply, divide, population count• Multiplier incorporates enhancements for offloading modular

arithmetic operations to the Crypto Unit

10/100/1000/10GbE Network Interfaces• Uses the Neptune Chip on the Motherboard which provides

> Two RJ-45 ports dedicated for 10/100/1000 > Two RJ-45 ports capable of 10/100/1000

– Fitting a XAUI adapter disables the one of these ports per XAUI • Same 10 GbE XAUI cards as T5x20 server• 16 Rx and 24 Tx DMA channels for virtualization

– Integrated NIU in T2 has 16 Tx channels– Raw UDP Tx performance on Neptune > T2 NIU

– T2 processor network typically outperforms Neptune on most network benchmarks

• Packet classification> Rx data can be HW classified at layer 2 ,3 and 4

– Put into the separate Rx DMA buffers by classification rules

• Same 'nxge' device driver as T2 NIU.• Performance estimates, testing/tuning ongoing

– 1 port 10GbE TX/RX = 9.3 Gbps with CPUs still 65-75% idle– 2 port 10GbE TX/RX = 12-19Gbps (better if dedicate RX/TX ports)

Network Ports and Options

XAUI 0

NOTESAll Ethernet ports provided by a single Neptune Chip on the motherboard

NET 0 and NET 1 are disabled by XAUI cards if installed to take advantage of 10GbE networking* If a XAUI card is installed, the matching RJ-45 port is disabledXAUI cards take one of three current Fibre 10GbE transceiversShort Reach(SR), Long Reach(LR) and Long Reach Multimode(LRM)

Copper versions of the XAUI card are expected Post-RR XAUI Cards consume the same physical space in the chassis as a PCI card, so are mutually exclusive

Solaris for Sun SPARC Enterprise T5x40• T5x40 servers will require Solaris10 8/07 (update 4) with

patches> A Patch CD is supplied in the box

– Mandatory patches = 127111-08,126434-05,125416-05– Available patches = 124235-02, 125369-13,125476-02,127111-07– Likely to be out of date, so customers should check SunSolve...

• This incorporates several specific UltraSPARC T2/T2 Plus optimizations and for CMT servers in general

• Also includes some specific T5x40 optimisations> UltraSPARC T2 Plus MPO optimisations> nxge driver tweaks for 10GbE devices> MMU DMA relaxed scheduling > LDOMs pre-install upgrade to version 1.0.2 (US T2 Plus support)


Solaris FMA• Now aware of CPU Core offlining• PCIe Fabric diagnostics improved• Crypto Unit offlining• Neptune awareness (though XAUI's not diagnosed)• POST memory CE tolerance improved• FRU identity info improved in fault reports (part/ser #)• Diagnostic Engines (DE)

– Existing DE have been extended for T5x40– New Eversholt DE used for HostBridge, PCIe diagnostics

• Limitations...– Can't isolate Uncorrectable Errors to a single DIMM– PCIe riser cards not in topology– XAUI card and XFP not in the topology– SouthBridge chip is not diagnosed at this time (DVD, USB,...)– IO Expansion box is not diagnosed via FMA

Tuning Out of the Box• Using Solaris 10 08/07 (update 4) with Patches

> MPO optimisations used> DMA relaxed Ordering implemented> Default pages sizes for

– Initdata Segments is 64kB pages– Private Anon, Heap, Process Stack, Text, Shared Anon segments are 4MB pages– ISM and DISM use 256MB pages– New variables introduced to control these sizes if changes are needed

– max_uheap_lpsize,max_ustack_lpsize, max_privmap_lpsize, max_shm_lpsize, max_uidata_lpsize, max_utext_lpsize, max_shm_lpsize

> L2 Cache hashing implemented– helps randomise accesses to L2 caches and ease thrashing

> Stack biasing implemented– D-Cache is only 4 Way associative... 8 threads– Running multiple copies of a binary can lead process stacks aligning in the cache

and to hot lines in the cache– Stack Bias slews the stack variable for processes.


Tuning Out of the Box (continued..)> Processor Groups introduced

– Helps associate CPUs with some shared resources (int/FP pipelines, Crypto units etc)

– Enables improved multi-level CMT load balancing and affinity policies> 'bcopy'/'uiomove' Optimizations

– Key kernel operations– new implementation about 2x faster than previous

• Optimisations will require patching of S10 8/07> These will be post RR patches as they become available> Most fixes are already committed in update 5> Check patch levels for customers with performance issues> Also check Firmware versions as this can improve performance

too...


Tuning Recommendations• Less involved than with T2000• S10 8/07 is more 'automatic'

– OOB optimised page size selection, thread scheduling, block copy, IP instances for zones, page coloring etc...

• If tuning is necessary remember...> Improved pipeline results in Single threaded performance around 20% better> Floating Point is no longer an issue> Start with T2000 tuning options> Use updated trapstat, cpustat,

• LDOMs may be an easier way to scale poorly threaded applications• Solaris Crypto framework is still being tuned

> Great for big packets, working on improving small packets• A Blueprint is being prepared (Denis Sheahan)


Tuning Recommendations (cont..)• Refer to UltraSPARC T1 applications tuning best practices...

> http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/tnb/applications.jsp• CoolTools are being updated for UltraSPARC T2 and T2 Plus

> http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/overview/cooltools.jsp• Sun Studio 12 is UltraSPARC T1 and T2/T2 Plus aware

> Recompiling without code changes should benefit T1/T2/T2 Plus apps• LDOMs configs can benefit significantly from a transition to T5x20 platform

> Multiple IO/Service domains with higher bandwidth PCI busses> Make sure appropriate LDOMs tuning and sizing is carried out

• Wider Crypto capability, so ensure code is using PKCS#11 framework> Ensure that the ncp (SSL, RSA, DSA etc) and n2cp (bulk ciphers),

n2rng(random number generator) drivers are used appropriately

http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/tnb/applications.jsp

http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/overview/cooltools.jsp


PCIe Performance

• Up to two times the performance of T5x20 (two PCIe Busses)

• All PCI card slots are x8 PCI electrically> Single level hierarchy> Cut through switching> PCI-E relaxed ordering for higher performance

• Performance per bus...> Marketing performance = 4000MB/sec> Theoretical Rate with overheads = 3790MB/sec> Max. DMA Achievable(bidirectional) = 3096MB/sec

– with 128byte packets– And 512 byte read size
