Chapter 5
5. Optional Octal Router Chassis Information
This chapter describes the optional NUMAlink router technology available in SGI UV 2000
systems consisting of two or more racks. This router technology is available in an enclosure
“package” known as the Octal Router Chassis (ORC). This optional ORC chassis can be mounted
on the top of the SGI UV 2000 rack. NUMAlink 6 advanced router technology reduces UV 2000
system data transfer latency and increases bisection bandwidth performance. Router option
information is covered in the following sections:
“Overview” on page 53
“SGI UV 2000 Series NUMAlink Octal Router Chassis” on page 54
“SGI UV 2000 External NUMAlink System Technical Specifications” on page 56
Overview
At the time this document was published, external NUMAlink router technology was available to
support from 2 to 512 SGI UV 2000 racks. Other “internal” NUMAlink router options are also
available for high-speed communication between smaller groups of SGI UV 2000 racks. For more
information on these topics, contact your SGI sales or service representative.
The standard routers used in the SGI UV 2000 systems are the NL6 router blades located internally
to each IRU. Each of these first level routers contain a single 16-port NL6 HARP router ASIC and
connect to eight compute nodes within the IRU. The remaining eight ports of the internal router
are used to connect to other NL6 router blades or to the Octal Router Chassis. The NUMAlink
ORC enclosure is located at the top of each SGI UV 2000 rack equipped with the option. Each
top-mounted NUMAlink ORC enclosure contains one to eight 16-port HARP ASIC based router
boards. Each of these router boards has a single NL6 HARP router ASIC. This is the same router
ASIC that is used in the NL6 router blades installed inside the system IRUs.
Note that the ORC chassis also contains a chassis management controller (CMC) board, three
power supplies and its own cooling fans.
