Scaling Linux to the Extreme: From 64 to 512 Processors
Overview SGI announced the SGI Altix 3000 family of servers. As announced, the SGI Altix 3000 system supported up to 64 Intel Itanium 2 processors and 512 GB of main memory in a single Linux image. Altix now supports up to 256 processors in a single Linux system, and it has a few early-adopter customers who are running 512 processors in a single Linux system; others are running with as much as 4 terabytes of memory. This paper continues the work reported on in the 2003 OLS paper by describing the changes necessary to get Linux to efficiently run high-performance computing workloads on such large systems.
