SIBA(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SIBA(4)NAME
siba -- Sonic Inc. Silicon Backplane driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device siba
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
siba_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The siba driver supports the Sonic Inc. Silicon Backplane, the interblock communications architecture that can be found in most Broadcom
wireless NICs.
A bus connects all of the Silicon Backplane's functional blocks. These functional blocks, known as cores, use the Open Core Protocol (OCP)
interface to communicate with agents attached to the Silicon Backplane.
Each NIC uses a chip from the same chip family. Each member of the family contains a different set of cores, but shares basic architectural
features such as address space definition, interrupt and error architecture, and backplane register definitions.
Each core can have an initiator agent that passes read and write requests onto the system backplane and a target agent that returns responses
to those requests. Not all cores contain both an initiator and a target agent. Initiator agents are present in cores that contain host
interfaces (PCI, PCMCIA), embedded processors (MIPS), or DMA processors associated with communications cores.
All cores other than PCMCIA have a target agent.

Hi All,
Im having issues getting my backplane to work. I just installed extension backplane onto my V880. I followed all the cabling directions in the document i had and all seems well.
Slots 0 - 5 Work Fine, however on the slots where i installed the new backplane (Slots 6 - 11) things arent... (4 Replies)
Hello all.
I have made an application in C using pthreads. My problem is that my program seems to be only using 1 of my cores when I create multiple threads. I have 4 cores (Q9300). I am using Ubuntu 8.04.
I do believe the problem is that on linkage it's using a pthread emulation package... (4 Replies)
Hi All,
I Have Sun SPARC T5220 is a single processor machine with 8 cores.
I want to create a zone which should take 3 cores.
So how can I Configure those 3 cores to zone?
and
Once I configured some particular cores to zone and if I want to increase or decrease the cores how can I do it?

Hi all,
This is my server configuration.
Hard Disk - 500 GB
RAM - 3GB
Processor - intel core 2 quad ( 4 numbers). each one of four cores.
We have an application hosted thorough tomcat and accessed via apache through mod_jk connector.
There would be around 200 clients... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am very new to scripting and I wanted to write a unix shell script which can give me,
1)number of cpu's in a box
2)number of cores per cpu
3)total number of cores in abox (ie multiplying 1&2)
I am also trying to figure out how to check if hyper-threading is enabled in the... (8 Replies)
Hi,
I have 48 cores in my server. I want to assign 50% of the cores to certain programs and rest to some other programms. I found the command "taskset" very good option to assign cpu afinity to already running programms or newly created programms.
But the problem is even if i set a cron to... (1 Reply)
Booting and checking BIOS there is no option to enable-disable hyperthreading.
I have 8 Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8220 and I see 16 cores.
Enable hyperthreading I should have 32 cores.
I have red hat 5.4 installed.
Anyone know how can enable hypethreading ? I have last BIOS/Firmware... (2 Replies)
turbostat reports C-states of all CPU cores, and includes entries for each hyper-threaded core as well. Often enough the two logical cores on a single physical core will list different C state percentages. Does that make any sense?
Is this reporting the c-states of the few duplicated parts... (8 Replies)
Hi Experts -
we have power710 (no VIOs) that is already connected to hmc and everything . I already have a Physical LPAR in there and network configured . Now I plan to delete that LPAR and then put Virtualization code (COD) to virtualize that machine by building VIO servers and stuff.Also ordered... (9 Replies)
