Central Electronics Complex
From Wikistix
The Central Electronics Complex or CEC is a term invented by IBM to describe a "module" within their modular systems (like the p570). It describes a "module" or "building block" housing CPUs, RAM, PCI backplane, etc. These are then linked together by "scalability cables", in the case of a p570, CPU and memory interconnect at the front and IO interconnect at the back.
