System Architecture
This chapter describes the Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z architectures in detail, including
the
motherboards and processors, memory subsystem, interconnects and ASICs, storage, and system I/O.
Motherboard
Page 12
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P12
The heart of the new Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z is the motherboard. Both
workstations are based
on a common motherboard that utilizes a two-piece construction. The main board provides the majority
of the
functionality common to all systems. Meanwhile, the expansion card provides one Advanced Graphics
Port (AGP)
and three full-length PCI-X slots. The two-processor Sun Java Workstation W2100z has an additional
processor and
memory daughter card that provides multi-processing capability.
Figure 3-1 illustrates the motherboard for both the Sun Java Workstation W1100z and the Sun Java
Workstation W2100z in a basic block diagram that represents the actual physical board layout of the
CPUs, ASICs, sockets, interfaces, and connectors.

AMD Opteron Processor
The Sun Java Workstation W1100z supports one AMD Opteron 100 Series processor while the Sun
Java Workstation W2100z supports up to two AMD Opteron 200 Series processors. Each processor
contains a memory controller supporting a 128-bit wide path to memory and three 16x16-bit
HyperTransport links. Each HyperTransport link runs at up to 800 MHz and is clocked on both edges of
the clock pulse, allowing for a maximum of 3.2 GB/sec. (1.6 GB/sec., 2 bytes wide) throughput in each
direction (6.4 GB/sec. aggregate data rate bi-directionally).
Page 17
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P17
The following AMD Opteron processors are available:
• Native support for the 32-bit x86 ISA, MMX, and 3DNow!
• ECC protection for L1 data cache, L2 unified cache, and DRAM
• HyperTransport links supporting up to 6.4 GB/sec. of direct inter-processor bandwidth and up to 6.4

Processor VRM
Each CPU receives core voltage from an individual voltage regulator module (VRM). The VRMs
regulate the bulk 12 Volt supply to the value required by the CPU core, as specified by the VID code
output by the CPU package. The processor VRM is integral to and physically located adjacent to the
memory sub-system.
Memory Architecture
Each CPU device includes an integrated memory controller. Up to four memory DIMM modules are
supported per CPU. Access by one CPU to the memory residing on the other CPU incurs some latency
as data must be forwarded through the interconnecting HyperTransport link. The AMD Opteron memory
controller operates as a dual channel controller and can be configured to be 8 or 16 bytes wide. The
controller supports 1 bit per byte ECC, and supports DDR400 (PC3200) registered DDR SDRAM
modules.
Other features of the Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z memory architecture include:
• Memory bandwidth of up to 6.4 GB/sec. per processor (with PC3200 modules)
• Under 80 ns latency
• Registered ECC DDR1-400 SDRAM support
• Up to 16 GB (8 GB per CPU) in 8 DIMM slots (4 slots per CPU)
• 512 MB to 2 GB DIMMs support
• Single supply (2.50 VDC)
• Standard SPD (VCC-SPD = 3.3V)
AMD64 Architecture
The AMD64 architecture allows end users to run existing 32-bit applications and operating systems at
peak performance, while providing a migration path that is 64-bit capable. It is designed to enable 64-bit
computing while remaining compatible with the vast x86 software infrastructure. The AMD64 Instruction
Set Architecture (ISA) extends the existing x86 ISA and natively executes 32-bit code with no
“emulation mode” to degrade performance. For 32-bit software that does not require immediate 64-bit
implementations, AMD64 processorbased systems are designed to provide full application performance
while continuing to improve with AMD64 platform performance enhancements.
Many applications encounter architectural barriers that prevent efficient performance scaling. The
AMD64 ISA is designed to allow continued performance scaling for applications that demand
multiprocessor scalability, larger addressable memory, better multimedia performance, or
improvements in computational accuracy.
The kind of applications most likely to benefit from the AMD64 ISA include those that:
• Need large memory addressing to handle datasets larger then 3 GB (financial, scientific, and
engineering modeling applications commonly deal with datasets much larger than 4 GB)
• Must manage a large number of concurrent users or application threads, such as large-scale, thinclient solutions, large databases, and data warehouse applications for solutions in customer
relationship
management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and digital
rights management (DRM) systems
Page 20
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P20
• Require real-time encryption and decryption for enhanced security, including e-commerce and
protection of private or classified data
• Require high-precision mathematical precision and floating-point performance, including modeling,
simulation, statistics and financial analysis, imaging/video/signal processing, physics, medical research,
telecommunications, encryption, and compression
• Require large, high-power database performance, including decision support, searching and indexing,
document and content management, and voice recognition
• Require x86 compatibility or the economies of scale of x86 as well as the large memory addressing
capabilities
of 64-bit computing, including many high-performance computing (HPC) cluster applications
• Provide digital content creation capabilities such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE), digital music production and video
editing, and
real-time media streaming solutions
• Require maximum performance for realistic and cinematic consumer experiences, including computer
games,
digital video, and real-time collaboration
• Are able to migrate capabilities previously available only on 64-bit workstations to the business,
consumer, and
hobbyist desktop, including 3D modeling, rendering, animation, simulation, and software development
The evolution of microprocessor architectures has played a fundamental role in increasing the
capabilities and usefulness of computers. AMD64 processors are designed to maintain full compatibility
with x86 while providing the architectural enhancements that provide world-class 64-bit performance.
With the AMD64 ISA, relevant instructions and encodings have evolved to support 64-bits, increasing
the resources available to hardware and software.
Major enhancements over legacy x86 include:
• Sixteen 64-bit general-purpose integer registers that quadruple the general purpose register space
available to applications and device drivers as compared to x86 systems
• Sixteen 128-bit XMM registers for enhanced multimedia performance to double the register space of
any current SSE/SSE2 implementation
• A full 64-bit virtual address space with 52 bits of physical memory addressing that can support
systems with up to 4 petabytes of physical memory 65,535 times the amount of RAM supported by 32bit x86 systems
• 64-bit operating systems to provide full, transparent, and simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit platform
application multitasking
AMD64 processors include HyperTransport Technology and are designed for flexibility and scalability.
HyperTransport Technology provides links-based multiprocessing, simplifying the design of
multiprocessor workstations and servers. Compatibility with x86 makes the AMD64 computing platform
the first 64-bit platform designed to be compatible with mainstream PC applications while offering worldclass performance, making it suitable for solutions ranging from consumer client PCs to highperformance clusters. The combination of flexibility and scalability directly addresses the broad range of
capability and performance requirements IT professionals face today.
HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport Technology is a high-speed, high-performance, point-to-point link for integrated circuits.
Page 21
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P21
At a peak throughput of up to 6.4 GB/sec. bi-directional per link, HyperTransport Technology provides
an I/O solution for the most demanding system applications. The AMD Opteron processor with built-in
HyperTransport Technology links provides a scalable bandwidth interconnect between processors, I/O
subsystems, and other chipsets. Sun Microsystems was a founding member of the HyperTransport
Technology consortium.
System Performance Enhancements
HyperTransport Technology is designed to increase overall system performance by helping to remove
I/O bottlenecks, which improves bandwidth and reduces latency.
Page 22
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P22
Memory Interface
In traditional NorthBridge/SouthBridge architectures, memory transactions must traverse the
NorthBridge element, creating additional latencies that reduce performance potential. To help resolve
this performance bottleneck, AMD incorporates the memory controller into its AMD64 processors. The
direct interface to the memory significantly reduces the memory latency seen by the processor. This
latency will continue to drop as the processor frequency scales.
Additionally, hardware and software memory pre-fetching mechanisms can further reduce the effective
memory latency seen by the processor. This reduction in memory latency, coupled with the additional
increase in memory bandwidth available directly to the processor (resulting from this platform
architecture design optimization), is critical as it greatly enhances system performance across all
application segments.
Chip-to-Chip Interconnect
Current existing interface schemes offer throughput performance on the order of 266 MB/sec. to 1
GB/sec. Although these rates may be sufficient for desktop platforms, workstation, server, and other
future platforms require a more robust interface. The simultaneous integration of high-speed
technologies (such as AGP-8X, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X, and the InfiniBand Architecture) onto high-end
platforms will quickly dwarf the bandwidth capabilities of existing interfaces.
HyperTransport Technology provides a high-speed, chip-to-chip interconnect that virtually eliminates the
I/O performance bottleneck while providing ample performance headroom for future growth.
I/O Expansion Capability to High-Speed Industry Buses
The traditional NorthBridge/SouthBridge architecture is not intended to support more than two “corelogic” elements. Adding additional high-speed functionality (such as Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X, the
InfiniBand Architecture, or any combination thereof) would have to occur in one of three ways:
• The functionality would have to be attached to an existing bus interface such as the PCI bus.
However, an existing bus may not have sufficient bandwidth to support high-speed technologies,
especially in instances in which multiple buses or combinations of buses must be supported
simultaneously.
• The functionality would have to be directly attached to the higher-speed, proprietary, chip-to-chip
interconnect bus via a bridging device. However, the proprietary nature of this solution may limit the
number of components available from vendors, thus impacting cost and availability.
• The functionality would have to be integrated into one of the core logic components. This solution is
the least flexible, as a wide range of components would have to be created for each desired
combination of feature-set buses.
HyperTransport Technology, an industry standard, provides system designers a high-speed, daisychained interconnect between system components. Specific components can be connected in a
building-block fashion to achieve a platform with specific feature-set and performance objectives. Figure
3-7 shows a sample HyperTransport technology architecture block diagram.
The I/O subsystem is connected to the CPU complex through a HyperTransport link from the boot
processor. The I/O subsystem consists of the following components:
• A tunneling HyperTransport bridge (AMD-8131 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel)
• A HyperTransport-attached AMD-8151 AGP 3.0 Tunneling bridge
• A HyperTransport-attached “SouthBridge” component (AMD-8111 HyperTransport I/O Hub)

functions.
Memory
The AMD Opteron processor incorporates an integrated memory controller and improves the way
typical x86 processors access main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory
latencies, and increased processor performance.
The Sun Java Workstation W1100z can reach up to a maximum of 8 GB and supports industrystandard registered ECC PC3200 DIMMs. The Sun Java Workstation W1100z includes a 128-bit wide
integrated DDR DRAM memory controller that delivers memory bandwidth on the order of 6.4 GB/s and
supports up to four registered DDR DIMMs.
The Sun Java Workstation W2100z has two 128-bit wide, integrated DDR DRAM memory controllers
that are capable of delivering memory bandwidth on the order of 12.8 GB/s and supports up to eight
registered DDR DIMMs. The Sun Java Workstation W2100z can reach up to a maximum of 16 GB
memory.
Both workstations support industry-standard registered ECC PC3200 DIMMs in 512-MB, 1-GB, and 2GB configurations.
All DIMMs are available in pairs from Sun and should be installed in identical pairs. Sockets 1,2 3,4
(CPU1) and 5,6 7,8 (CPU2) are the pairs and must contain identical DIMMs (same size, rank, and
speed). If they are not, the memory controller may be placed in single channel mode vs dual channel
mode and memory performance will suffer significantly. Performance degradation will vary depending
on the application(s) running.
External Connectivity Ports
The Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z contain several expansion and peripheral connectivity
ports, as shown in Table 3-1. All ports are located either in the front or the back, providing easy access

GNOME 2.0 for the Solaris OS is open source, free software with no upgrade or licensing fees. It is
targeted as the alternative desktop to CDE in the Solaris 9 OS. More information about GNOME 2.0 is
available at http://www.sun.com/gnome.
Page 43
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P43
File System Logging
Logging file system features and parallel SCSI probes make rebooting faster. The Solaris 9 OS delivers
the performance and stability you need to meet your production, database, and file system
requirements with no incremental costs. UFS (User File System) logging enhancements deliver up to
140% better performance than Veritas. UFS Direct I/O enhancements provide an 87% database
performance improvement over default UFS.
Solaris JumpStart™ Software
With potentially hundreds or thousands of systems to manage, automation is absolutely key. Reducing
TCO depends on enabling a small administrative staff to manage a large number of systems. The
Solaris OS provides many of the key elements that enable efficient, centralized administration and
automation. For example, administrators can boot Sun workstations remotely over the network and
install operating systems from remote system administration servers. A standard component of the
Solaris OS, Solaris JumpStart software enables fully automatic and remote operating system
installation based on custom profiles and scripts.
Solaris™ Flash Software
To improve utilization of the systems that make up today’s data centers, administrators are turning to
tools such as Solaris™ Flash software. Solaris Flash software provides new provisioning functionality
that allows administrators to capture a snapshot image of a complete system—including the Solaris
OS, the applications stack, and the system configuration into a new Flash Archive format. Using this
system image, administrators can then rapidly replicate a reference system configuration onto many
target systems. Solaris Flash images can be deployed via standard media or over the network via
HTTP and NFS protocols. Solaris Flash software images can be installed using custom Solaris
JumpStart software scripts, the Solaris™ Web Start software graphical interface, or through interactive
installation of the Solaris Operating System.
Solaris™ Live Upgrade Software
Solaris™ Live Upgrade software allows Solaris OS software to be installed on a separate partition from
the currently running version of the operating environment. In particular, Solaris Live Upgrade software
enables systems to run uninterrupted while a system administrator installs a Solaris™ Flash archive or
upgrades to a new version of the Solaris Operating System. As a result, downtime for upgrades is
reduced to the time needed for a reboot. When installation is complete, a simple reboot enables the
Solaris 9 OS to take control. Since Solaris Live Upgrade software includes a version migration and
fallback feature, organizations can also fall back to the previous release (again, through a simple
reboot) without losing administration information.
Real-Time Video Creation and Broadcast Support
A Java Media Framework (JMF) technology player provides access to the latest industry-standard
audio and video files, including MPEG1/2, QuickTime, VIVO, AVI, AIFF, GSM, WAV, RMF, AU, and
MIDI.
Page 44
Sun Microsystems, Inc.On the Web sun.com P44
Graphics Software Interfaces
