PREVIOUS ARCHITECTURE/SOLUTIONS ARCHITECTURE OF CHOICE
Intel Provides Architectural Choice & Flexibility for Evolving 64-bit Server Computing PREVIOUS ARCHITECTURE/SOLUTIONS TRANSITION BENEFITS ARCHITECTURE OF CHOICE IA-32 Architecture 64-bit support, great performance for 32-bit apps RISC Replacement Exceptional performance – choice of operating system, software & hardware vendors Platforms address 64bit architectures Key message: The requirements for enterprises computing are very diverse – Intel is committed to delivering products for all the different segments. One single architecture is not able to completely serve the entire $50 bill server market – that’s why Intel provides two different architecture, each focused on a different part of the market. Intel Itanium Architecture is clearly targeted as RISC replacement, where performance, reliability and scalability is critical for customers. On top of that, end-users have a choice of operating systems and great price/performance against RISC. Albeit not high in number of system sold, this market remains huge – $20 bill USD worldwide! Itanium architecture has all necessary features to compete successfully in this market. In the volume server market and enterprise client, 64-bit Intel Xeon processors and 64-bit Pentium 4 processors provide outstanding price/performance and the broadest range of 32 bit applications together with headroom for 64-bit applications. We will describe more details about all platform in next slides. Intel is driving 64-bit computing from datacenter to desktop

64-bit Server Support from Intel - Itanium® 2 Architecture: Explicit Parallelism
Enable Growth Traditional Itanium® Architecture Original Source Code Parallel Machine Code Original Source Code Hardware Itanium® -based compiler compiler . Sequential Machine Code The Itanium™ application architecture has a number of features which lead to superior performance while running integer, floating-point and Multimedia instructions. Do not read out each bullet in this slide. Predication Most of the software code has “if/then” branches that determines what the processor should do next Application performance suffers in a very branch intensive code Predication allows the compiler to identify instructions that explicitly allows instructions streams to be executed in parallel It also the processor to pre-load instructions and data. It begins the processing of both the branches simultaneously Once the conditional statement is processed, the information of the incorrect branch is simply discarded without flushing the pipeline This enables the processor not to wait for the conditional branch execution to be resolved, improving performance Large computing resources 128 general purposes registers 128 floating registers 64 predicate registers 8 stage pipeline 11 issue ports Multiple execution units resources used more efficiently Execution Units unused – reduced efficiency . . . .

Itanium® processor lockstep support is at a significantly higher, more robust level than that offered on the Intel® Xeon™ processors. ECC on the data bus is a feature that will debut in Potomac in the Intel® Xeon™ processor MP space. Error recovery on data bus (ECC) ECC are bits in a sector of the hard disk, which contain information about the data that can be used to correct any problems encountered trying to access the real data bits Lockstep support Lockstep technology uses replicated fault-tolerant HW components that process the same instructions at the same time. In the event of a component malfunction, the redundant component provides an active spare that continues normal operation and averts system downtime. Bad data containment Bad Data Containment (Fault Containment) is a good reliability strategy for multiprocessors used as general-purpose compute servers. The workloads characteristic of this environment frequently contains multiple independent processes, so some processes can continue doing useful work even if others are terminated by a partial system failure. If the OS manages resources well, fault containment will have reliability benefits. Memory SDEC, retry on double-bit Single-bit Data Error Correction Memory spares Memory designed with redundant rows and columns (spares) which can be logically replaced for rows and columns which may contain defective memory cells. The replacement is made by special precision tools which takes the wafer probe failure data, locate the failed element, and use a laser beam to perform micro-surgery on links to remove the defective element and connect in a replacement. Partitioning If fault occurs, applications can be switched to a failover partition as a cluster in a box. This is partitioned among system level. Itanium® processor based platforms: leadership reliability features

Faster calculations handled – Itanium® 2 (for security algorithm implementations in secure Database deployment) Mitigate Risk Instructions / clock handled CPU Architecture Instructions / clock cycle handled Itanium 2 6 (through parallelism) RISC 4~5 More instructions / clock cycle boosts performance in the looping algorithms that form the core of most encryption calculations The data blocks used by common encryption algorithms, which are often 64 bits or larger, can be moved and manipulated in fewer steps by the Itanium processor than with 32-bit chips. The Itanium processor's 64-bit integer multiply boosts the execution of security algorithms significantly — roughly three to five times faster than with 32-bit architectures. But recompiling security algorithms for IA-64 returns even more benefits. The key benefit of EPIC parallelism — more instructions per clock cycle — boosts performance in the looping algorithms that form the core of encryption calculations. Advanced loop handling enables the chip to run multiple loops simultaneously using register rotation with automatic register renaming. The Itanium processor's improved floating-point can also run the multiplication of large numbers in parallel and in such operations attain the chip's full potential of executing six instructions simultaneously.

Clustering Definition
A cluster is a group of independent computers working together as a single system Availability - minimizes downtime by keeping systems running in an event of a hardware or software failure Scalability - new nodes can be added to a cluster to accommodate increased workload Performance - workload can be distributed among nodes for optimal performance Now, let’s see what is a cluster. A cluster is a group of independent computers working together as a single system. This is a definition of cluster. There are three major features of cluster. -First, Availability: minimize downtime by keeping systems running in an event of a hardware or software failure. Actually we need not just availability but need High Availability. Cluster supports High Availability. -Second: Scalability: When there is a increase of workload, we should easily expand the systems we have. This is done by adding new nodes to a cluster in order to manage the workload. - Third: Performance: workload can be distributed among nodes for optimal performance. This means load balancing. Cluster supports load balancing. === Next slide

Microsoft* SQL Database Cluster Architecture basic
Shared-Nothing (MSCS Cluster) Client PCs Server A Server B Heartbeat Cluster management In this picture, Shared nothing Architecture, the only difference is storage area. MSCS, SQL Server Cluster uses this architecture. See the storage. They are separated two parts. They are logically partitioned not physically separated. In this architecture, each node can access the partition assigned for each node. In this picture, Disk cabinet A and B is not a separated storage box but logically partitioned. Server A can access only Disk cabinet A, and Server B can access only Disk cabinet B. In this architecture, Virtual Server IP mechanism is used for client. Client always connect to Virtual Server that should be available all the time, because it’s virtual server. So, they can’t die. But the reality is, at first, Virtual Server is mapped to Server A internally , and if something happened in Server A, then Server B takes over the control. So Virtual Server is now connect to Server B internally. But client doesn’t know what’s happened. Disk cabinet A Disk cabinet B

Microsoft* SQL Database Cluster Architecture basic
Benefits reduced unplanned downtime easier upgrades, due to the ability to manually failover from one server to the other (allows IT to upgrade one server at a time without impacting availability) Implementation Awareness failover is never “instantaneous”, will have a non-zero period of time when the database services are not available (usually less than one minute)

Database Solution with the Highest Level of Availability
Disaster-Recovery-Enabled For highest level of availability, IT departments should consider whether the database server configurations needs to be disaster-recovery-enabled Implementation Awareness Data storage needs to be geographically dispersed, so that no single disaster can take out both copies of the data Price of distance is a loss of performance due to latency and the speed of light Disaster-recovery-enabled systems are the most expensive level of system protection

When to consider a Microsoft* SQL Database (64-bit)
Challenge Large Working Set Size (>4GB+) Lots of Buffer Pool thrashing (critical sections) Complex Queries Sorts, joins, workspace that can spill to disk ERP and SCM applications Large Virtual Memory / Large # Connections Many open cursors Multiple Instances of SQL Server Total memory required is >4GB OLAP environment MS SQL Server (Analysis Services) Situation when need huge dimensions supported in memory SQL-64 Provides Large cache reduces I/O Large cache & higher parallelism Large cache & larger virtual memory Higher parallelism & large memory Larger virtual memory addressing

Same on-disk format for both SQL32 and SQL64 databases
MS SQL bit and 64 bit compatibility (from Xeon™ 32-bit to Itanium® 2) Same on-disk format for both SQL32 and SQL64 databases Procedure to migrate SQL32 to SQL64: Detach database from 32-bit server (sp_detach_db command) Transfer the file to the target system (The same process for a standard backup and restore can be used to migrate data to the 64-bit platform, by simply restoring 32-bit backup files to the 64-bit platform) 3. Attach database to 64-bit server (sp_attach_db command)

Application Front-end Business Logic Mid-tier Database Back-end
Clients Switching the Microsoft* SQL 2000 Database from a 32-bit server to a 64-bit server require NO changes in the front-end and mid-tier applications

Example of an End-To-End OLAP Scenario
[with Microsoft* SQL Server (Analysis Services)] Data Warehouse Application Front-end Business Intelligence Server (OLAP) Clients MS SQL Windows* MS DTS ODBC Oracle* UNIX Financial Accounting HR management CRM IBM* DB2* AS/400* MS SQL (Analysis Services) will act as a staging database to handle the dynamic analysis for OLAP. Datawarehouse (MS SQL , Oracle/UNIX , DB2/AS400) will act as the static database. AS/400 in particular is slow in performing analytical processing, so a MS SQL 64 OLAP server in front of a AS/400 datawarehouse makes a lot of sense. MS SQL Analysis Services will create cubes and pull the necessary data from the Datawarehouse for analysis through integration tools (MS DTS, ODBC, AS/400 data transformation tools such as Data Mirror or Orion Integrator). Itanium 2 is a good candidate for OLAP also because of its strong computational power (can handle 6 instructions per clock cycle, better than all other CPU architecture) needed for analytical processing. Industries that needs heavy OLAP usage are : FSI – CRM for branch banking & Insurance, financial modelling … Manufacturing – constant inventory tracking to ensure accurate production forecasting Retail – sales analysis for sales forecasting/projection 3rd party tools, eg. Data Mirror* Orion Integrator* MS Office* 2003 MS Internet Explorer Data Transformation

Other Deployment Considerations for MS SQL 2000* Database (64-bit) on Itanium® 2 Platform Compatibility with MS SQL 2000* Database (32-bit) example of some components that are not available on MS SQL 2000* (64-bit) version and are recommended to be run on a 32-bit client Enterprise Manager Query Analyzer Area that needs work in migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit MS SQL 2000* Database Extended Stored Procedures need to be recompiled. Extended stored procedures are dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that SQL Server can load and execute dynamically. Extended stored procedures run directly in the address space of SQL Server and are programmed using the SQL Server Open Data Services API

Backward compatibility
Other Deployment Considerations for MS SQL 2000* Database (64-bit) on Itanium® 2 Platform Backward compatibility Data migration from 64-bit MS SQL 2000* Database back to 32-bit version is supported Scenarios that 32-bit Database should be used For some SQL Server workloads, the 2-3 GB of virtual address space available with a 32-bit platform is sufficient. If a workload performs well with 2-3GB of memory (or with AWE) and does not require scaling up beyond 8 CPUs, the benefits of fast CPUs available in 32-bit architecture may outweigh the advantages of moving to a 64-bit platform.
