چکیده
The IBM eServer z990 microprocessor implements many features designed to give excellent performance on both newer and traditional mainframe applications. These features include a new superscalar instruction execution pipeline, highbandwidth caches, a huge secondary translation-lookaside buffer (TLB), and an onboard cryptographic coprocessor. The microprocessor maintains zSeries leadership in RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) capabilities that include state-of-the-art error detection and recovery.

متن کاملPackaging the IBM eServer z990 central electronic complex
The z990 eServer central electronic complex (CEC) houses four multichip-module-based processor units instead of one, as in the previous-generation z900 eServer. The multichip module (MCM) input/output pin density in z990 processor units is more than twice that of the MCMs in z900 processor units. This increase in packaging density and the consequent tripling of the current drawn by the processo...
