The Hardware Architecture and Linear Expansion of Tandem NonStop Systems
Robert W. Horst, Tim Chou · 2002
The Tandem NonStop TXP is a commercially available multiple processor system that delivers mainframe class performance for transaction processing applications. Several sixteen-processor systems may be configured in a ring structure using fiber optics. This structure allows from two to over two hundred processors to be applied to a single online application. Benchmark results are presented to demonstrate the linear growth of system performance as processors are
