[comp.sys.sgi] 4D/3x0 memory bandwidth

mccalpin@perelandra.cms.udel.edu (John D. McCalpin) (03/06/91)

I am working on some performance modelling for shared-memory
multiprocessor machines and I was wondering if anyone out there could
tell me the memory bandwidth on the SGI 4D/3x0 series machines.
I am most interested in the main memory to secondary cache link, but
the secondary cache to primary cache link is of interest also.

I believe that the cpu's all share the same secondary cache, so that I
would assume that the main memory is single-ported.  Is the secondary
cache multi-ported, or do the cpu's access it via a shared bus?

Thanks for any answers!
