OverviewSun ushers in another exceptional tool for technical professionals with the Sun Blade 2000 workstation. The Sun Blade 2000 system accommodates up to two Superscalar, 64-bit, high-performance UltraSPARC III Cu CPUs. It features a high-performance, crossbar-switch system interconnect that provides high bandwidth (up to 4 GBps) for ultra-high-speed processors and graphic subsystems. It also delivers plenty of internal disk and memory and a 64-bit PCI bus for incredibly fast I/O. The Sun Blade 2000 workstation provides both USB and IEEE 1394 interfaces for connectivity to leading-edge third-party peripherals. With high-end 3-D graphics, dual-monitor capabilities, and support for Sun's storage systems, this workstation is truly a powerful, flexible next-generation desktop.High PerformanceThe high-performance Sun Blade 2000 workstation supports two, high-speed, 64-bit, 900-MHz or 1.2-GHz UltraSPARC III Cu processors. With exceptional performance and scalability, UltraSPARC III technology provides support for compute-intensive applications while maintaining full compatibility with previous Sun systems and software. For some applications, the size of the processor cache can be key to performance. With the Sun Blade 2000 workstation's 8 MB of Level 2 cache per CPU, you can increase performance by keeping as much of the application in cache and out of slower main memory and secondary disk storage. Big MemoryThe Sun Blade 2000 workstation features up to 8 GB of RAM, enabling faster calculations and increased performance--applications can run directly in RAM at much greater speeds than from disk.StorageSupporting up to two internal 73-GB FC-AL disk drives (for a total of 146 GB), the Sun Blade 2000 workstation provides more local disk storage for applications and data that can be accessed faster than from network or attached storage.Graphics and Video OptionsThe Sun Blade 2000 workstation supports Sun XVR-100, Sun XVR-500, Sun XVR-1000, and Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerators, enabling you to mix and match a full range of 2-D and 3-D graphics cards and options. The entry-level Sun XVR-100 graphics accelerator provides simple, inexpensive 2-D operations. The mid-range Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator provides fast 2-D and inexpensive 3-D operations. The higher-end Sun XVR-1000 and Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerators are ideal for applications requiring high-performance, hardware-based, texture mapping acceleration. The Sun Blade 2000 workstation also features two UPA (Ultra Port Architecture) graphics slots which provide dedicated graphics card support, delivering the maximum throughput required by some applications to provide realistic renderings of objects. With dual UPA slots, you have greater flexibility in configuring a larger range of solutions. In addition, the Sun Blade 2000 workstation delivers IEEE 1394 connectivity on the system board and digital video performance at isochronous speed through two IEEE 1394 digital video ports--allowing for exceptional performance for FireWire-based multimedia devices. ExpandabilityWith four USB ports on the Sun Blade 2000 workstation, you can hot-plug in lower-speed serial devices in a large chain, such as Iomega ZIP and Jaz drives or alternative keyboards and pointing devices.ProcessorThe Sun Blade 2000 workstation comes with 900-MHz or 1.2-GHz versions of the 64-bit UltraSPARC III Cu processor. UltraSPARC III Cu processors provide excellent integer and floating-point performance to address the needs of the most computationally demanding applications in e-commerce, large corporate networks, high-capacity Web servers, and online transaction processing--or any demanding commercial or technical computing environment. Key features such as an on-chip memory controller, Uptime bus, and high memory bandwidth all contribute to increased application performance.CapacityMemoryEight Sun 232-pin SDRAM DIMM slots provide support for a maximum of 8 GB of ECC error correcting code memory. ECC code detects and correct all single bit errors. It also detects all double, triple, and quadruple bit errors that occur in the same nibble. The Sun Blade 2000 workstation implementation allows detection of SDRAM chip failures due to a customized routing of the memory bus.

Sun XVR-100 Graphics Accelerator Featuring 32 MB of SDRAM memory, dual-display support, and high-resolution support, the Sun XVR-100 graphics accelerator provides users with a low-cost, high-performance, 24-bit, 2-D graphics solution. Sun XVR-500 Graphics Accelerator The Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator provides outstanding performance, quality, and value. With exceptional geometry and texture mapping performance, dedicated frame buffer memory support, and a wide range of resolution and multi-display options, the Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator is ideal for demanding 3-D graphics applications. Sun XVR-1000 Graphics Accelerator The Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator is an ideal solution for users who need the highest possible workstation image quality. It is also an excellent solution for GIS, visualization and similar applications that will benefit from its large texture memory, 30-bit color precision, and its fast and flexible multihead output options. Sun XVR-1200 Graphics Accelerator The Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator is ideal for 3-D applications that require excellent performance and quality. Up to two Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerators are supported in a Sun Blade 2000 workstation, providing a high-end visualization solution designed to allow for fast, accurate data analysis and more profitable decision-making.
