目前,DEC公司正在加紧开发一种新型高档服务器。它将采用新的Alpha芯片,可向用户提供更快的运行速度、更高的带宽以及更好的连接特性,并可进一步扩展OpenVMS操作系统的集群能力。这种32个CPU的服务器代码名为Wildfire,基于DEC即将推出的500MHz的64位Alpha 21264芯片,针对的是数据仓库、事务处理以及Internet应用市场。这种服务器将接替该公司的高档TurboLaser AlphaServer服务器。 Wildfire将使用代码名为Tsunami的高带宽系统总线,该总线基于即将推出的Alpha新型芯片,可进一步加速服务器中各处理器之间的
Currently, DEC is stepping up its efforts to develop a new high-end server. It will feature a new Alpha chip that will provide users with faster speeds, higher bandwidth, and better connectivity, as well as further expand the clustering capabilities of the OpenVMS operating system. The 32-CPU server code, called Wildfire, is based on DEC’s upcoming 500MHz 64-bit Alpha 21264 chipset for data warehousing, transaction processing, and Internet applications. This server will take over the company’s upscale TurboLaser AlphaServer server. Wildfire will use a high-bandwidth system bus called Tsunami based on the upcoming Alpha chipset, which will further speed up server-to-processor
