SGI Prism Workstatsion

The Prism Workstation is essentially a Altix 350 server with the addition of ATI FireGL graphics. Like the Altix 350 it uses Intel ItaniumII processors and industry standard DDR SDRAM DIMMs.
Each Prism chassis takes up only 2U in a standard 19inch rack.
Processors from a single 1.3GHz ItaniumII w/1.5MB L3 Cache to dual 1.6GHz ItaniumII w/9MB of L3 cache
From 1GB to 24GB of main memory per chassis, 192GB maximum per system
NUMAlink3 architecture that scales as processors are added, with 6400MB/sec bi-directional links
On the back of each Altix 350 compute module:

1 serial console port

2 NUMAlink ports

4 PCI-X ports Each compute module has 4 PCI-X 3.3V seperated on 2 busses one 100MHz the other 66MHz
The base compute module has an IO9 which has the following ports:

10/100/1000BaseT ethernet

2 Ultra160 SCSI busses(1 internal, 1 external) for 320MB/s total SCSI bandwidth

Internal IDE port for DVDROM drive

Real time interrupt input and output ports
Alternatively they can have an IO10 that has the following ports:

10/100/1000BaseT ethernet

Serial ATA ports for the 2 internal drive slots

Internal IDE port for DVDROM drive

4 external serial ports via breakout cable

Real time interrupt input and output ports

They can have hot swapable redundant power supplies.
