A base cell in the partition participates in Interleaved
Memory. 87.5% (7/8) of the base cell’s memory is used as
CLM.
A float cell in the partition does not participate in
interleaved memory. All of the float cell’s memory is used
as CLM.
Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also
numbered starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of 8 cells.
For example, the cells located in cabinet 0 will have the following cell numbers in global format:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4,
0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3,
1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7.
From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in the local format as
1/0 or in the global format as 8. The parstatus command displays the above cell as cab1,cell0.
The cell located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4 or in the global format
as 12. The parstatus command displays the above cell as cab1,cell4. See parstatus(1)
