RISC System/6000 300 Series Workstations and Servers
Powerful graphics on your desk
Contents
RS/6000 Model 3BT workstations with POWERdisplay monitor
The RISC System/6000(r) (RS/6000(tm)) 300
Series workstations and servers are
powerful, industry-leading systems. They provide
excellent price/performance for interactive
2D and 3D graphical applications,
multi-user commercial applications, and numeric
intensive computing capability.
- The 3AT, 3BT, and 3CT workstations
are available in easy-to-order system packaged
solutions. These solutions
include a high-resolution, color IBM POWERdisplay 17 (maximum
viewable screen size of
16.1 inches/409 mm when measured
diagonally); a POWER GXT150M(tm) graphics
accelerator; up to 64MB standard memory on
the 3CT; a 1GB SCSI-2 disk; a 1.44MB
3.5-inch diskette
drive; a SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller;
two removable media bays; and a keyboard and mouse.
- Through an extensive family of graphics accelerators,
the 3AT, 3BT, and 3CT workstations provide outstanding
support for your 2D and 3D graphics applications.
- To increase performance and
efficiency, the 3BT
and 3CT workstations and the 390 and 39H servers
offer optional Level 2 (L2) caches.
- The 3CT and 39H feature the full POWER2(tm)
implementation of the POWER Architecture(tm).
The larger internal data cache size (L1)
and wider memory path results in higher system performance than
the 3BT and 390.
- A wide range of system upgrades help ensure investment
protection for the 300 Series.
- Other key 300 Series features include integrated SCSI-2
and Ethernet(tm) controllers, 540MB to 2GB disk storage
standard, and three
available 80MB/sec. Micro Channel(r) slots.
The RS/6000 300 Series desktop workstations and servers provide
a broad range of performance and function for technical and commercial
customers. Models range from the low-end POWER Model 370
server (62 MHz), to the POWER2 Models 380 (59 MHz), 390
(67 MHz), and 39H (67 MHz) servers. As
high-end workstation performers, the POWER2-based 3AT, 3BT, and
3CT also offer 59 and 67 MHz clock rates.
For technical users, the 300 Series offers a broad range of
support for graphics functions. The workstations are ideally
suited for applications requiring sophisticated interactive 2D
and 3D graphical simulations, such as CADAM(r)
and CATIA(r).
The 300 Series processors, with their superscalar architecture,
protect your investment and provide increased performance as
your needs grow.
Technical users will appreciate the outstanding integer and
floating-point performance available on the desktop for their
compute-intensive
applications. In the commercial arena, the
67 MHz clock rate of Model 390 and 39H means high-speed online
transaction processing.
The 300 Series also helps protect your investment by providing
a range of performance upgrade options. All currently available
models can be upgraded to the higher performing 3AT, 3BT, 3CT,
380, 390, and 39H models and to the SMP Model G30 PowerPC server.

these values should be indicative of generally-available systems,
no warranties or guarantees are stated or
implied by IBM. IBM recommends application-oriented
testing for performance predictions
and offers the above commonly reported benchmarks only as an initial
indicator. Additional information on these tests are available from
your IBM local Branch Office or IBM Authorized Reseller.
AIX 4.1.1 was used with each of the benchmarks. IBM C Set++ for

these tests. The preprocessors used in the tests include KAP 2.5 for
FORTRAN and KAP/C 1.4 from Kuck & Associates, VAST-2 X.03h28 from
Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessor products are purchased
separately.
SPECint92: Geometric mean of six integer tests which comprise
the CINT92 benchmark suite. All of these are written in C
language. Baseline SPECint92 results are included in the
detailed results.
SPECfp92: Geometric mean of 14 tests that represent the CFP92
benchmark suite. Five of the tests are single precision while the
remaining nine are double precision. Two tests are written in C
language and the rest are written in FORTRAN. Baseline SPECfp92 results
are included in the detailed results.
Linpack DP: Double Precision, n=100 results with AIX XL FORTRAN
compiler, with
optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS).
Linpack SP: Single Precision, n=100 results with AIX XL FORTRAN
compiler, with
optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS).
Linpack TPP: Toward Peak Performance, n=1,000 results with AIX XL
FORTRAN compiler, with optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS).
