HP NonStop Himalaya S88000 High-End Server

In its position at the high end of the Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S88 server family, the S88000 (1974-x) server with a slight  performance boost over its predecessor, the S76000. It features the high- performance MIPS  R16000  microprocessor, which runs at 550 megahertz and includes 8 megabytes of DDR secondary cache—much more than that of the NonStop Himalaya S86000 (1972) server. The new Ultra SCSI I/O interconnect technology provides a faster pipe for disk traffic. Memory-intensive applications such as home location registries, trading systems, or operational data stores are never a problem:

The Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S7000, S70000, S72000 and S74000 memory modules are not compatible with the S88000 (1974) processor.
