众所周知,DEC公司去年9月推出了集成有930万个晶体管、时钟频率达300MHz、每秒可运行10亿条指令(BIPS)的Alpha 21164微处理器,令业内人士刮目相看。时至今日,采用这一芯片的两款功能强大的服务器又已问世,为业界带来新的震撼。 此次推出的全新AlphaServer8400企业级服务器和8200部门级服务器将计算技术真正带入了每秒10亿条指令的时代。正如DEC公司Alpha服务器业务部副总裁Paulin Nist女士所说:“AlphaServer系统具有超过现有RISC机两倍的性能,是计算密集型应用的理想机型。这些应用包括分子模型研究、有限元分析、电子电路模拟、地理信息
As we all know, DEC company launched in September last year, 930 million transistors, the clock frequency of 300MHz, 1 billion instructions per second (BIPS) Alpha 21164 microprocessor, so that the industry admired. Today, two powerful servers using this chip have come out, bringing a new shock to the industry. The introduction of the new AlphaServer8400 enterprise server and 8200 departmental server computing technology really brought into the era of 1 billion instructions per second. As Paulin Nist, vice president of Alpha Server Business at DEC, puts it: "AlphaServer systems are twice as powerful as existing RISC machines and are ideal for compute-intensive applications such as molecular modeling, finite element analysis, Electronic circuit simulation, geographic information
