IBM Telum
Telum is a microprocessor made by IBM for the IBM z16 series mainframe computers. The processor was announced at the Hot Chips 2021 conference on 23 August 2021. Telum is IBM's first processor that contains on-chip acceleration for artificial intelligence inferencing while a transaction is taking place. Description The chip contains 8 processor cores with a deep superscalar out-of-order pipeline, running with more than 5 GHz clock frequency which is optimized for the demands of heterogenous enterprise-class workloads (e.g: finance, security sensitive applications, applications requiring extreme reliability). The cache and chip-interconnection infrastructure provides 32 MB cache per core and can scale to 32 Telum chips. The cache design has been described as "revolutionary" in 2021, by creating a system where the L2 cache of one core can be used as virtual L3 and L4 caches for another core. The Telum processor can either be water cooled or air cooled, but water cooling is req ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
IBM Z15 (microprocessor)
The z15 is a microprocessor made by IBM for their IBM Z#IBM z15, z15 mainframe computers, announced on September 12, 2019. Description The processor unit chip (PU chip) has 12 cores. The z15 cores support two-way simultaneous multithreading. The cores implement the Complex instruction set computer, CISC z/Architecture with a superscalar, Out-of-order execution, out-of-order Instruction pipeline, pipeline. New in z15 is an on-chip nest accelerator unit, shared by all cores, to accelerate Data compression, compression. The cache (e.g. level 3) is doubled from the previous generation z14, while the "L4 cache increased from 672MB to 960MB, or +43%" with the new add-on chip system controller (SC) SCM. Both it and all levels of cache in the main processor from level 1 use eDRAM, instead of the traditionally used static random-access memory, SRAM.

Instruction Pipeline
In computer engineering, instruction pipelining is a technique for implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. Pipelining attempts to keep every part of the processor busy with some instruction by dividing incoming Machine code, instructions into a series of sequential steps (the eponymous "Pipeline (computing), pipeline") performed by different Central processing unit#Structure and implementation, processor units with different parts of instructions processed in parallel. Concept and motivation In a pipelined computer, instructions flow through the central processing unit (CPU) in stages. For example, it might have one stage for each step of the von Neumann architecture, von Neumann cycle: Fetch the instruction, fetch the operands, do the instruction, write the results. A pipelined computer usually has "pipeline registers" after each stage. These store information from the instruction and calculations so that the logic gates of the next stage can do th ...

Mainframe Computer
A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or big iron, is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing. A mainframe computer is large but not as large as a supercomputer and has more processing power than some other classes of computers, such as minicomputers, server (computing), servers, workstations, and personal computers. Most large-scale computer-system architectures were established in the 1960s, but they continue to evolve. Mainframe computers are often used as servers. The term ''mainframe'' was derived from the large cabinet, called a ''main frame'', that housed the central processing unit and main computer memory, memory of early computers. Later, the term ''mainframe'' was used to distinguish high-end commercial computers from less powerful machines. Design Modern mainfr ...

Out-of-order Execution
In computer engineering, out-of-order execution (or more formally dynamic execution) is an instruction scheduling paradigm used in high-performance central processing units to make use of instruction cycles that would otherwise be wasted. In this paradigm, a processor executes instructions in an order governed by the availability of input data and execution units, rather than by their original order in a program. In doing so, the processor can avoid being idle while waiting for the preceding instruction to complete and can, in the meantime, process the next instructions that are able to run immediately and independently. History Out-of-order execution is a restricted form of dataflow architecture, which was a major research area in computer architecture in the 1970s and early 1980s. Early use in supercomputers The first machine to use out-of-order execution was the CDC 6600 (1964), designed by James E. Thornton, which uses a scoreboard to avoid conflicts. It permits ...
