PA 7100 is a 0.5 micron implementation
Components represent the smallest elements of a computer
system. Yet., certain components, such as the central
processing unit, play a critical roll in the overall price and
performance of the system. For this reason HP has chosen
to concentrate resources and expertise in this area.
The PA-RISC architecture was create by HP. PA-RISC is used
from HP's lowest cost desktop system to the high-end multi
processor business server.
HP designed the Precision Architecture -RISC in a simplified,
and modular fashion. This not only accommodates future
technology by decreasing system design costs and reduces
time-to-market for new product. PA-RISC has emerged as a
computer industry leader in RISC system sales and has
delivered more than 75% system performance improvement
each year.
Slide 8:
Systems:
Integrate our own ICs and subsystems to ensure the highest
quality and timely availabilityThese applications require a range of systems to meet their
varying needs. Systems is the area of concentration for CSO.
Three critical elements of system building are - Subsystems,
Systems Integration and Packaging.
Major functional elements of a computer systems are called
subsystems. Examples of subsystems that HP is
concentrating on are mass storage and graphics. These
subsystems coupled with the PA-RISC processor technology
address many of the critical paths through a system to
deliver information fast.
PA-RISC delivers high performance computing, our disk
subsystems retrieve information quickly and our graphics
software and hardware rapidly present information to the
intuitive user interface.
The right configuration of these subsystems must be
packaged for safe and efficient operation in the office,
factory and data center.
HP has partnered with a number of different companies to
address the markets needs for factory floor to corporate
office information technology solutions. Mitsubishi and EDS
are examples of channel partners working with HP to offer
solutions for today's broad IT needs.
Slide 9:
Open Systems:
Implement and initiate standards. Ensuring applications
availability and portability, peripheral support, interconnect
and
interoperability. Initiate standards: DCE, DME, Motif.
Today raw performance and application solutions isn't enough.
Open systems and standards support is now a market
requirement. Yet, system performance, ease-of-use and
application availability cannot be sacrificed for openness.
HP is in the forefront of the industry in delivering open,
standards compliant systems with leading price/performance
characteristics.
In addition, HP has a long history of driving innovation in
standards. The Open Software Foundations Motif User Group
Interface, Distributed Computing Environment and Distributed
