  • Abstract
    This paper describes the first IBM system implementation using the Orca 12 cache. The Orca cache is a high performance, cost effective solution for using PowerPC 604e processors in server systems. The paper details the capabilities of the Orca performance monitor and results obtained on several workloads using the first IBM SMP value server
