ibm小型机知识（IBM minicomputer knowledge） IBM minicomputer knowledge (copied) 2007-10-28 20:51, on the topic of small computers have been relatively hot, because many, whether PC server or server, have claimed that they have done minicomputer level. But then the people have to be confused, before the clear concept of small and micro computer more and more fuzzy, in the end when should choose traditional minicomputer, when should choose PC server? I moved the IBM system technology division System P system engineer, Mr., who heard on IBM UNIX WORLD to share it with you. The part that you want to know from zhao. Minicomputer said for many years, the PC server is more familiar, their difference is very big, with the UNIX PC server CPU, the most simple CPU Intel desktop and notebook with the Pentium is very clear. But mention the name of Minicomputer processor are not clear, now they are called the CPU processor with RISC processor, the common Intel including AMD CISC processor, the RISC and CISC what is the difference, RISC is a RISC, CISC is CISC. RISC IBM is a research institute in 1974, IBM of computer research very deeply, in 70s found that we can use 20% instruction can be completed in 80%, and the 20% instructions are very simple and basic instructions. If you want to complete the work of 20% also requires a very complex instruction, if you want to achieve instruction in CPU, leading to CPU is very complex, the machine efficiency is very low, so this leads to the generation of RISC technology, RISC technology has rewritten history of computer development. The birth of technology led to the birth of RISC System/6000. In fact, RISC technology, CPU is an architecture, which has a very large number of models, POWER5 is a typical representative. IBMs POWER is typically represented in the RISC chip. RISC has a two and eight rule. Its very efficient, very low power, and very reliable. CISC representative is very understanding of X86, in this generation of Xeon processor is ve
