Alpha 21364处理器提供了高性能，高度可扩展且高度可靠的网络体系结构。路由器以1.2 GHz的速度运行，并以22.4 GB/s的峰值带宽路线。网络体系结构扩展到128个处理器配置，该配置最多可以支持四个分布式rambus内存和数百个磁盘存储的terabytes。通过可扩展的，基于目录的高速缓存方案保持一致的分布式Rambus存储器。该网络还提供了各种可靠性功能，例如全封闭ECC。这些功能使21364网络体系结构非常适合支持通信密集型服务器应用程序。
The Alpha 21364 processor provides a high-performance, highly scalable, and highly reliable network architecture. The router runs at 1.2 GHz and routes packets at a peak bandwidth of 22.4 GB/s. The network architecture scales up to a 128-processor configuration, which can support up to four terabytes of distributed Rambus memory and hundreds of terabytes of disk storage. The distributed Rambus memory is kept coherent via a scalable, directory-based cache coherence scheme. The network also provides a variety of reliability features, such as per-flit ECC. These features make the 21364 network architecture well-suited to support communication-intensive server applications.
