Revision as of 10:41, 20 April 2009
The ND-5000 CPU is the third generation of the ND-500 architecture. It is a totally new construction both in hardware and physical layout. ND-5000 uses the same instructions as the ND-500 CPU but adds a couple of new instructions called '87 extensions', also found in the ND-500/1 and ND-500/2 CPUs.
The new ND-5000 CPU replaces 24 cards in the old ND-500 arcitecture. The ND-5700 system have the same computational power as a ND-570 system.
The ND-5000 series of computers can run both SINTRAN-III and NDIX, Norsk Data's version of UNIX.
Hardware implementation
ND-500/ND-5000 processors are using a ND-100/ND-110/ND-120 CPU as I/O processor.
Models
The original series of ND-5000 computers came in three different models, ND-5700, ND-5800 and ND-5900. Later additions to the family were a Compact model, ND-5200.
| System | Relative CPU performance | Memory shared (Mb) | Memory local (Mb) | Data cache (Kb) | Instruction cache (Kb) | Max disk capacity (Gb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ND-5700 | 1 | 8-512 | 2 | 64 | 320 | 29 |
| ND-5800 | 2 | 16-512 | 4 | 64 | 320 | 29 |
| ND-5900 Model 2 | 4 | 16-512 | 4 | 2x64 | 2x320 | 29 |
| ND-5900 Model 3 | 6 | 16-512 | 4 | 3x64 | 3x320 | 29 |
| ND-5900 Model 4 | 8 | 16-512 | 4 | 4x64 | 4x320 | 29 |
