This blade is ideal for 3D rendering, compression and encryption. The QS22 blade is based on the multi-core IBM PowerXCell 8i processor.

• IBM PowerXCell 8i processor:
  • Advanced asymmetric multi-core processor optimized for parallel processing and streaming applications
  • Exceptional double precision performance versus previous Cell/B.E. processors
  • Each processor includes a Power Processor Element and eight Synergistic Processor Elements optimized for floating point operations
• Standard dual Gigabit Ethernet and optional dual-port DDR InfiniBand 4x, Serial Attached SCSI and I/O buffer
  • Supports high communication throughput for high performance computing applications
  • InfiniBand connected through PCI-Express for maximum performance
• Single-wide blade:
  • Up to 14 blade servers per chassis, delivering extreme performance in a compact footprint
  • Up to 6.4 TFLOPS Single Precision performance in a single BladeCenter H chassis and 25.8 TFLOPS in a standard 42U rack
  • Up to 3.0 TFLOPS double precision performance in a single BladeCenter H chassis and 12.18 TFLOPS double precision in a standard 42U rack
• BladeCenter deployment flexibility:
  • Leverages the high-speed communication fabric of BladeCenter H or HT chassis
  • Coupled with BladeCenter S chassis leverages the chassis’ internal storage
  • Straightforward management and efficiency in business-critical, heterogeneous environments
  • Integrate your networking switch infrastructure for improved cabling and data center maintenance
• Two high-availability midplane connections:
  • Each blade is reliably and easily connected via two redundant paths to the passive midplane and the integrated switching and power infrastructure contained in the BladeCenter chassis.
• Light path diagnostics standard
  • LED lights provide a quick and easy guide to troubleshoot your server. Faster problem resolution means higher availability and more server uptime.
  • Independently powered, allowing you to remove the server from the chassis and still illuminate the light path LEDs.
• Predictive Failure Analysis:
  • Helps save you time and money by decreasing planned and unplanned downtime.
  • Increases uptime by allowing you to receive proactive alerts as much as 24 – 48 hours in advance.
• Integrated System Management Processor:
  • Increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes.
• IBM Director and IBM Director Extensions—comprehensive systems management tools:
  • Exploits hardware capabilities by surfacing pertinent information about your system, allowing you to automate a response.
  • Helps increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity via advanced server management capabilities.
  • Provides intelligent system management for rock-solid reliability.
