| Overview |
|
The IBM BladeCenter® QS20 extends the IBM Power Architecture™-based blade portfolio by providing a new level of parallelism and performance to targeted workloads, including image processing, signal processing, and graphics rendering applications. The QS20 complements IBM's more mature rack-optimized and blade server product lines (based on Xeon, Opteron, and POWER™ processors) that are highly suited to production applications.
Based on the Power Architecture, the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) processor was originally developed in collaboration with IBM, Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (Sony and Sony Computer Entertainment collectively referred to as Sony Group), and Toshiba Corporation. The Cell BE processor is an advanced microprocessor optimized for compute-intensive workloads. Cell BE's breakthrough multicore architecture and ultra-high-speed communications capabilities deliver vastly improved, real-time response for entertainment and rich media applications. Effectively delivering supercomputer-like performance by incorporating advanced multiprocessing technologies used in IBM's sophisticated servers, Cell BE is especially suitable for high-performance workloads across a number of industries, including digital media, medical imaging, aerospace and defense, seismic computing, communications, and the high-performance computing industry.
The new QS20 Cell BE technology-based system is designed for businesses that need the dense
computing power and unique capabilities of the Cell BE processor to tackle tasks involving
graphic-intensive, numeric applications. The system will rely on the Cell BE processor to help
accelerate key algorithms like 3D rendering, compression, and encryption, to help enable companies
to create and run highly visual, immersive, real-time applications.

| Description |
|
The IBM BladeCenter QS20 blade represents the newest offering in the BladeCenter family of high-density, high-performance blades with multisocket processors. The model QS20 provides two-socket, multicore (one Power Processing Element plus eight Synergistic Processing Elements for a total of nine cores per processor), 3.2 GHz Cell BE processors directly mounted to the planar board.
The QS20 blade extends and deepens IBM's Power Architecture based blade portfolio by providing a new level of parallelism and performance to targeted workloads, including image processing, signal processing, and graphics rendering applications. As a new offering that has an emerging set of support tools and libraries, the Cell BE blade is suited for evaluation and experimentation by early adopters who are seeking to differentiate through technology capability. This complements IBM's more mature rack-optimized and blade server product lines (based on Xeon, Opteron, and POWER processors) that are highly suited to production applications and feature a rich software stack and extensive business partner support.
The QS20 blade offers advanced and differentiating features compared to blades and servers based on traditional processors. The Cell BE blade is quite unique with new features of the Cell BE processor, and it will complement (or accelerate) new applications which are not capable of their full potential running solely on available technology.
The Cell BE itself is derived from Power Architecture and can therefore leverage the significant investment in Power Architecture software, blades, and ecosystem IBM has created. However, due to its new multicore architecture and the new Synergistic Processing Element (SPE) cores that are part of the architecture, clients will have to port or optimize their software and likely develop new software to realize the inherent benefits of the Cell BE processor. The Cell BE processor-based blade uses the popular IBM BladeCenter form factor, thereby benefiting from the ease of deployment, manageability, and integration for which the BladeCenter is known. IT offers very fast, floating-point processing performances, broader bandwidth, and a fast interconnect, and can leverage the Power Architecture. Each BladeCenter chassis can be populated with seven QS20 blades. QS20 blades cannot be intermixed with other blades within a chassis; however, the QS20 can be networked with other blades within a rack or multirack system configuration.
InfiniBand is a connectivity option for QS20. You can purchase the blade without InfiniBand or optionally purchase either one or two InfiniBand Adapters for each blade that interfaces to the QS20 via the PCI Express connectors. When using InfiniBand, clients must add external InfiniBand switches to the system-level/rack configuration.
IBM has made the Cell SDK available on AlphaWorks® as a software foundation; however, clients will have to invest time and energy to develop, port, and optimize code to introduce complete solutions for themselves and their clients. The SDK provides a development toolchain that includes compilers, a debugger, performance tools, libraries, sample code, and a full system simulator.
