2 Capacity Virtualisation SQL databases InMemory databases Big data Performance Complex modelling Audio and video editing Banking trades Transactions per second Performance Power efficiency Power draw Heat dissipation Cooling requirements 3 Module Types For Server Platforms ( ) Unbuffered ECC DIMM Registered DIMM Load Reduced DIMM E5 & 6200 Series Only You can configure a server memory with either: Unbuffered ECC DIMMs up to 8GB each* For entry level servers & workstations Registered DIMMs up to 32GB each* For mid range and higher end servers & workstations Load Reduced DIMMs up to 32GB each For faster maximum capacity platforms Optimizing Memory: Install memory in kits of identical modules according to memory architecture Configure all processors the same way for most bandwidth Install either all RDIMMs or all ECC UDIMMs or all LRDIMMs, cannot mix! Mixing DDR3 (1.5V) and DDR3L (1.35V) will default the memory to 1.5V. * Platforms may limit the number of Unbuffered ECC or Quad Rank modules that can be installed. 4 2

9 Minimizing Power Usage for Xeon 5600s and E Servers Can save up to 5 10% or more of a server s total power draw. Few large capacity modules better than several low capacity modules. The faster the memory speed, the more power it requires compared to the same memory running at a lower speed. Memory modules with multiple ranks (Dual Rank and Quad Rank) further reduce power consumption, as not all ranks are active at a time. Lower power consumption leads to additional power budget headroom in a datacenter, as well as reduced cooling requirements. 17 Intel Romley Memory Bandwidth Study Balanced vs Unbalanced memory configuration , ,7 14 Memory Bandwidth in GB/s with SiSoft Sandra 2012 Memory Bandwidth in GB/s with STREAM Unbalanced Near Balanced Balanced 8GB module 4GB module Benchm ar ked with SiSoftwar e Sandr a 2012 on Intel Rom ley platfor m S2600GZ with two Xeon E GHz pr ocessor s and up to 160GB of m em or y (KVR16R11D4K4/32 and KVR16R11D8K4/16) installed. 9
