Memory part 4: NUMA supportMemory part 4: NUMA supportPosted Oct 19, 2007 4:47 UTC (Fri) by sweikart (guest, #4276)Parent article: Memory part 4: NUMA support
Intel is working on a point-to-point processor interconnect called QuickPath, which is a competitor to AMD's HyperTransport. AMD will support HyperTransport 3.0 with its next-generation sockets (AM2+ and F+). HyperTransport 3.0 lets you split the links in half, so you can have 8 links total (and HT3.0 links can run twice as fast as HT2.0 links, so the half-width links should have good throughput). I assume this will enable a fully-connected (diameter of 1) eight-socket server.
