Coping with physical limits

29th July, 2009 5

� The industry is hitting fundamental

physical limits:

� Size

� Speed of electromagnetic

propagation

� Heat transfer rates

� Large CPU speed increases are a

thing of the past, across the

industry

� Capacity increases will increasingly

come from higher n-way, more

multithreading, and NUMA

optimisation

� Demand for lower latency will

drive co-location of hybrid

transaction processing elements

“In terms of size [of

transistor] you can see that

we're approaching the size

of atoms which is a

fundamental barrier, ….”

Gordon Moore, April 2005** Techworld, Operating Systems and Servers News,

13 April 2005

The IT model is shifting … real-time event-driven workloads, richer

content, and modular technologies alter the composition of systems and

how systems are deployed and managed

29th July, 2009 6

� Platform Virtualisation Capabilities are improving the efficiency of single purpose workload images

� Platform management software for Virtualisation is emerging aimed at reducing cost and complexity and providing transparent quality of service to software hosted in the virtual image of today’s compute-intensive applications

� Application software and middleware is becoming more platform agnostic

� Real-time, event-driven processing is driving the opportunity for specialised acceleration & offload engines

� Multi-core/thread x86 designs are becoming key drivers for system performance

The composition of today’s data centre introduces challenges in

managing the delivery of critical business services to intended cost and

service objectives

29th July, 2009 7

� Complexity and fragility

� Increased management (labour) costs

� Increased power/cooling costs

� Reduced flexibility and responsiveness

� Quality of service issues

� Under-utilised capacity

� Inability to relate the management IT resources to business objectives

Opportunity

� IBM System z® and its evolution to a well managed, integrated, hybrid platform provides an opportunity to

deliver enhanced function, and to further simplify, consolidate and reduce the costs of managing IT

infrastructure

� The ability to integrate, virtualise and coherently manage the multiple and varied processing elements of a

deployed business service, in accordance with stated business objectives, is the focus of this set of extensions

to the IBM System z® platform.

z/VM 6.1 Statements of Direction – July 2009

� z/VM Single System Image: IBM intends to provide capabilities that permit multiple z/VM systems to

collaborate in order to provide a single system image. This is planned to

allow all z/VM member systems to be managed, serviced, and

administered as one system across which workloads can be deployed.

The single system image is intended to share resources among all

member systems.

� z/VM Live Guest Relocation: IBM intends to further strengthen single system image support by

providing live guest relocation. This is planned to provide the capability

to move a running Linux virtual machine from one single system image

member system to another. This is intended to further enhance

workload management across a set of z/VM systems and to help clients

avoid planned outages for virtual servers.

Why the future state?

QoS by tight integration of hardware/firmware

29th July, 2009 25

Tightly integrated virtualisation and management

Each communication• consumes resources on

processors• injects delays• disrupts cache and running

programs• Has to transit many

independent components

Extremely low latency communications which:• consume no resources on processors• do not inject delays nor disrupts cache and

running programs• Independent messaging protocol to maintain

responsiveness• Reduced components to fail

Benefits: Better performance, higher availability, reduced management costs

The Economic Value of Rapid Response TimeAhrvind J. Thadani 1982

When a computer and its users interact at a pace that ensures that neither has to wait on the other, productivity soars, the cost of the work done on the computer tumbles, employees get more satisfaction from their work, and its quality tends to improve. Few online computer systems are this well balanced; few executives are aware that such a balance is economically and technically feasible.

In fact, at one time it was thought that a relatively slow response, up to two seconds, was acceptable because the person was thinking about the next task. Research on rapid response time now indicates that this earlier theory is not borne out by the facts: productivity increases in more than direct proportion to a decrease in response time.
