Abstract
The HP V-Class server family provides up to 32 processors
and 32 GB of memory in a single cabinet. Scalable Computing Architecture
technology allows multiple V-Class cabinets to be interconnected, forming
a single cache coherent non-uniform memory architecture (ccNUMA) system
providing up to 128 CPUs and 128 GB of memory. This paper discusses some
interesting aspects of the Scalable Computing Architecture and the changes
made to the HP-UX kernel to operate in this environment.
