Technology
* 8+8 Memory Socket
* Up to 64GB registered ECC DDR memory
* Four hot swappable SCSI HDDs
* Choice of PCI-Express or PCI-X is possible for
Expansion slot Product features
■Specially designed engineering workstation to improve
the EDA process EDA is an abbreviation for Electronic Design Automation
and it is the word to reference the highly sophisticated
software or its design toolset to improve the design
process of the LSI by going through the complicated
engineering simulation on the computer platform. The
“edAEW216 series” was developed aiming to improve the
design process by understanding the user needs for the
engineering workstation. Comparing with the RISC type
UNIX workstation, it can provide a very good cost
performance for the work environment.
■Specification generated based on the user needs By listening the engineers’ voice of wanting the large
capacity of memory space with high speed 64bit CPU to
improve the development capability, the edAEW series has
been developed by Proside. It has a large memory space
of up to 64GB and for the CPU, it can take up to two AMD
Opteron(TM) processor. It can even take two Dual-Core
AMD Opteron(TM) giving nearly the same performance as
the 4 way solution workstation.
■Number of experiences on the EDA field The “edAEW series” has already been implemented by a
number of Japanese domestic EDA vendors as EDA
workstation replacing the RISC type UNIX workstation.
This “edAEW series” has been a very effective solution
by taking a better part of “low processing power yet
having 64bit environment” and “high processing power yet
only 32bit environment performance PC”.
■8+8 solutions for realizing the large capacity of
memory space To realize the large capacity of memory space, the
“edAEW series” has 8+8 solution, which means that it can
take up to 8 memory modules per CPU giving the total of
16 memory sockets for the system. With this solution, we
can realize the memory space of 64GB.
■Expansion to 4-way workstation - Dual core AMD
Opteron(TM) compatible
 To have the maximum multiple CPU processing capability,
it uses two of the high performance 64bit AMD
Opteron(TM) CPU. It can also take the Dual core AMD
Opteron(TM) CPU by having two core in one CPU. By using
this solution, the workstation is moving to the 4-way
high performance field.
■High quality control to assist the EDA work environment By having the 64bit environment, the largest merit is
the size of memory space. With the 32bit environment,
the memory space is limited to 4GB, but with the “edAEW
series” it can take up to 64GB of memory space. EDA
design work requires to use the large capacity of
memories for a very long period of time with a very high
loading. To have a high reliability under such high
stressed environment, we have been going through a very
strict aging test and the memory validation process
before we ship out from our factory in Taiwan
■Multiple system can be monitored with the rackmount
type edAEW216R1-SC is a very high density 1U rackmount type
designed to be used by accessing remotely. It has the
RAID disk system and planning to implement the remote
monitoring system to monitor the health condition and
usage of the workstation just like a server system.
■How swappable RAID storage onboard It has
four SCSI HDDs which has a large MTBF value
comparing to an IDE HDD. The standard model has two HDDs
and it can be hot swappable.
