摘要: The Power7 is IBM's first eight-core processor, with each core capable of four-way simultaneous-multithreading operation. Its key architectural features include an advanced memory hierarchy three levels on-chip cache; embedded-DRAM devices used in the highest level and a new interface. This balanced multicore design scales from 1 to 32 sockets commercial scientific environments.
