IBM High Performance Computing for AIX Using InfiniBand | 2007-10-01 | IBM |
| This paper provides an overview and describes the components and performance of an HPC solution for AIX on POWER using InfiniBand as the cluster interconnects. The paper contains performance results for several communication benchmarks running on IBM System p servers with the IBM Host Channel Adapter driving InfiniBand switches, and on IBM JS21 Blade Center servers. It provides some guidelines for end users on the various environmental settings that can be tuned to improve the performance of applications. The specific measurements are for the MPI communication protocols. The MPI measurements were done with blocking and non-blocking sends and receive between pairs of MPI tasks using a benchmark which is called as Spark. Selected results for some industry standard benchmarks are also included.

Infoprint Manager for AIX: Why Multiple pdservers? | 2006-12-01 | IBM |
| A pdserver is comprised of three functional parts a command processor, a spooler, and a supervisor. With IPM/Win, one can have only one pdserver per box. However, with IPM/AIX one can have multiple pdservers that function as one, two, or all three of the components. The key factor that makes IPM scalable is this ability to grow an IPM system by adding pdservers. The most common implementations of multiple pdservers separate the command processor function from a combined spooler-supervisor function. | |||

Controlling Application Memory Consumption | 2006-03-23 04:32:03 | |
| pSeries nodes with large memories are often used for applications that expect to use all the available real memory, either for one serial application or in aggregate for the tasks of a parallel MPI job running on the node. If an application accesses real memory beyond the amount available, AIX 5L provides support for paging out less frequently used pages. However, paging is relatively slow compared to CPU speeds, and adversely affects the critical performance requirement of these applications. This paper describes mechanisms to help applications use maximum available real memory while protecting the integrity of the node by reducing the risk of paging by applications that demand more real memory than is available. | |||

Guide to Multiple Page Size Support on AIX 5L Version 5.3 | 2006-04-04 03:00:58 | IBM |
| The POWER5+ processor and AIX 5L Version 5.3 with the 5300-04 Recommended Maintenance Package introduce support for two new virtual memory page sizes - 64KB and 16GB. Using larger virtual memory page sizes for an application's memory can significantly improve an application's performance and throughput due to hardware efficiencies associated with larger page sizes. This paper gives an overview of the new multiple page size support of AIX 5L and how a user can use these new page sizes for an application's memory to potentially improve performance. | |||

Configuring AIX 5L for Kerberos Based Authentication Using Windows Kerberos Service | 2006-04-04 03:04:19 | |
| This paper describes the use of Kerberos as an alternative authentication mechanism to AIX using Windows 2000/2003 Server Kerberos Service. Authentication applications on AIX do not require any change to alternatively perform Kerberos authentication as it is woven into the fabric of the AIX security subsystem. By utilizing the loadable identification and authentication framework of AIX, the system directs authentication requests to use Kerberos instead of standard UNIX authentication. | |||

The Business Value of HP-UX 11i: HP-UX 11i on Integrity Servers vs. IBM AIX 5L on eServer | 2007-02-01 14:15:04 | Hewlett-Packard |
| This paper analyzes the five year lifecycle TCO of two alternative platforms, considering the costs to plan, purchase, implement, manage, and use two comparable UNIX server configurations for a specified scenario, application, and workload. The comparisons in this study use HP-UX 11i, a UNIX solution hosted on an open system platform using HP Integrity (Intel Itanium based) servers versus IBM AIX 5L running on proprietary RISC-based IBM eServers and quantifies how open systems UNIX solutions running on Intel Itanium servers can deliver higher levels of manageability, consolidation, virtualization, adaptability, security, and availability. | |||

Performance of the IBM System p5 520, 550 and 550Q | 2006-04-04 02:52:42 | IBM |
| The IBM System p5 520, 550 and 550Q are the latest IBM POWER5 processor-based servers designed for commercial and high performance compute-intensive workloads. The p5-520 and p5-550 servers are 2-way and 4-way Dual-Chip Module systems running at 1.9 GHz while the p5-550Q is 4-way and 8-way 1.5 GHz Quad-Core Module systems. All three systems support the AIX 5L (AIX 5L V5.3 and AIX 5L V5.2) and Linux (SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9) for POWER, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 (RHEL AS 4) for POWER operating systems. This paper examines key features of the three systems and discusses their performance under such industry standard benchmarks as SPEC CPU2000, SPEC OMP2001, SPECjbb2000, SPECjbb2005 and LINPACK. |
