System x3755 Technical Introduction

Delivering an industry-leading, 64-bit framework for high performance computing and business computing, the IBM System x3755 is built for speed. The x3755 eliminates system architecture bottlenecks through the use of separate, high-speed links between the processors, main memory, and I/O. The AMD Direct Connect Architecture and HyperTransport technology combined with IBM Xcelerated Memory Technology drive the x3755 to deliver the performance, availability, and manageability needed for the next generation of high performance computing servers that require low latency and high speed access to memory. This paper describes the technical aspects of the server.
