1.3.2 CPU Module

Each CPU module contains SPARC64 VI processors or SPARC64 VII/SPARC64 VII+ processors. Each processor chip incorporates and implements the following:

• Chip multithreading (CMT) design that sequentially executes the multiple processes on the CPU.
• SPARC64 VI processors are two-core processors.
• SPARC64 VII/SPARC64 VII+ processors are four-core processors.

The CPU modules can be accessed from the top of the midrange server. FIGURE 1-7 and FIGURE 1-8 illustrate the number of CPU modules per midrange server and their location. TABLE 1-4 lists features of the CPU modules. For additional information on the CPU module.
