• Google engineers and the University of Toronto worked together to study
real-world memory errors across hundreds of thousands of Google data
center servers.
• Among the results from the two-and-a-half year study:
– Memory errors are an order of magnitude more common than previously
thought.
– More than 8% of DIMMs were affected by correctable errors per year in
Google’s computing environment.
– Hard errors, the kind that cause system failure, account for a much higher
percentage of total errors than anticipated. The annual incidence of un-
correctable errors was 1.3% per machine and 0.22% per DIMM.
– Occurring errors in a DIMM memory device provide a strong indication of
future errors in the same component.
A Study Into Real-World Memory Errors Google research uncovers the benefits of hardened RAS features and capabilities
It’s impossible to prevent underlying cause of many kinds of memory errors which can bring a system down

next generation Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel® QPI, formerly codenamed Westmere-EX) scoring 1,010 (includes Intel Compiler XE2011 improvements accounting for about 11% of the performance boost) to X7560 (24M cache, 2.26GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel QPI, formerly codenamed Nehalem-EX) scoring 723 (Intel Compiler 11.1). Source: Intel SSG TR#1131.
2. Scalability: Up to 2.8x scaling transaction improvement claim based on internal OLTP benchmark comparing next generation Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel® QPI, formerly codenamed Westmere-EX) scoring 2.73M transactions (leading database vendor) to X5680 (12M cache, 3.33GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel QPI, formerly codenamed Westmere-EP) scoring 970K transactions. Source: Intel SSG TR#1120.
3. Consolidation: Up to 29:1 server consolidation performance with return on investment in less than one year" claim estimated based on comparison
between 4S MP Intel® Xeon® processor 3.33GHz (single-core with Intel® HyperThreading Technology, 8M LLC cache, 3.33GHz, 800MHz FSB, formerly code named Potomac) and 4S Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.4GT/s Intel® QPI, formerly code named Westmere-EX) based servers.
Up to 18:1 server consolidation performance with return on investment in about 14 months" claim estimated based on comparison between 4S MP Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 (dual-core with Intel® HyperThreading Technology, 4M cache, 3.00GHz, 800MHz FSB, formerly code named Paxville) and 4S Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.4GT/s Intel® QPI, formerly code named Westmere-EX) based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 42U racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $41,523 based on averaged estimated list prices, and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Estimated SPECint*_rate_base2006 performance and power results are measured for Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 and estimated for Intel Xeon processor 3.33GHz single-core / 7041 dual-core based servers. Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 29x for single-core and 18x for dual-core (truncated).
* Baseline single-core platform (measured score of 34.1; idle = 480W; active = 780W): Intel server with four MP Intel® Xeon® processor 3.33GHz processors, 16GB memory (8x 2GB DDR2-400), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition R2 operating system, Intel Compiler 11 built SPECcpu* 2006 November 2009 binaries. Estimated result.
* Baseline dual-core platform (estimated score of 54.6; idle = 546W; active = 812W): Intel server with four Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 processors, 32GB memory (16x 2GB DDR2-400), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition R2 operating system, Intel Compiler 11 built SPECcpu* 2006 November 2009 binaries. Estimated result.
* New platform (measured score of 1,000; idle = 552W; active = 1053W): Intel internal reference server with four Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel® QPI), 256GB memory (64 x Samsung 4GB 2Rx8 PC3L-10600R), 1 hard drive, 3 power supplies, using SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11 operating system, Intel C++ and Fortran Composer XE2011 built SPECcpu* 2006 January 2011 binaries. Source: Intel SSG TR#1131.
4. Flexible Virtualization: Up to 25% better virtual machine performance claim based on SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark comparing next generation Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel® QPI, formerly codenamed Westmere-EX) scoring 2,540 @ 162VMs to X7560 (24M cache, 2.26GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel QPI, formerly codenamed Nehalem-EX) scoring 2,024 @ 126VMs. Source: Intel SSG TR#1118.
