  • 1.  Imbedded NX processor

    Posted 4 hours ago

    Has anyone used the imbedded gzip NX processor?  I'm not able to get it to work on a small P9 system.

    System Model: IBM,9009-41A
    Machine Serial Number: xxxxxxxx
    Processor Type: PowerPC_POWER9
    Processor Implementation Mode: POWER 9
    Processor Version: PV_9_Compat
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Processor Clock Speed: 2300 MHz
    CPU Type: 64-bit
    Kernel Type: 64-bit
    LPAR Info: 1 xxxxxxxxx
    Memory Size: 29696 MB
    Good Memory Size: 29696 MB
    Platform Firmware level: VL950_179
    Firmware Version: IBM,FW950.E0 (VL950_179)
    Console Login: enable
    Auto Restart: true
    Full Core: true
    NX Crypto Acceleration: Capable and Enabled
    In-Core Crypto Acceleration: Capable, but not Enabled

    Checking the nx processor availability with nxstat:

    nxsstat -S reports 

    nx_accel_mask = 0

     ** No accelerators available **
     ** Accelerators are not available for partitions in POWER9_base mode

    There seems to be a discrepancy for mode between prtconf and nxstat? 

    zlibNX.rte is installed along with pigz
