  1. SGI Origin 3000 010652000 Introduction to Parallel Computing Ville Nummela

  2. History

  3. Architecture • Modular architecture • allows easy upgrading • consists of building blocks called bricks • each system can be customised using only those bricks which are needed in that particular system

  4. C-bricks • CPU modules • 2 or 4 64 bit MIPS processors • up to 8 GB RAM • Bedrock controllel chip • 8-to-6 crossbar • Network interface

  5. C-bricks

  6. R-bricks • Router blocks • 6-port, 8-port and metarouter • 4 ports to C-blocks, the rest to other R-bricks • A single R-brick can have 16 CPUs • NUMAlink 3 - 1.6GB/s/link • crossbar • Hypercube up to 128P, then fat hypercube

  7. R-bricks

  8. Other bricks • I-brick • I/O • Connects to C-bricks via XTown2 (1.2GB/s) • P-brick • 12 PCI slots • X-brick • 4 XIO slots

  9. Other bricks • G-brick • grapchics brick • D-brick • 1-12 JBOD disks • Powerbay • 1-6 hot plug 48V pover supplies

  10. Software • Operating system is IRIX • Controllel machine runs Linux • Shared memory • message passing can be used • Libraries: MPI, PVM, shmem • Languages: Fortran, C, C++, ADA, Pascal

  11. Memory architecture • Each C-brick has some local memory • However, the memory is shared between all C-bricks • --> NUMA • C-bricks have caches • --> ccNUMA

  12. Statistics • Highest rating on top500 list: 116 • 1024P machine called ”Chapman” • operated by NASA • 256 C-bricks, 144 R-bricks, 4 I-bricks, 4 P-bricks, 38 Power bays • Total 31 Origin 3000 computers on the list
