85nm Gate Length Enhancement and Depletion Mode InSb Quantum Well Transistors for Ultra High Speed and Very Low Power Digital Logic Applications 2005-10-31 Intel

This paper demonstrates for the first time 85nm gate length enhancement and depletion mode InSb quantum well transistors with unity gain cutoff frequency, fT, of 305 GHz and 256 GHz, respectively, at 0.5V VDS, suitable for high speed, very low power logic applications. The InSb transistors demonstrate 50% higher unity gain cutoff frequency, fT, than silicon NMOS transistors while consuming 10 times less active power.

Service Oriented Architectures for Science Gateways on Grid Systems 2006-08-04 01:00:11 Springer Science+Business Media

Grid computing is about allocating distributed collections of resources including computers, storage systems, networks and instruments to form a coherent system devoted to a "Virtual organization" of users who share a common interest in solving a complex problem or building an efficient agile enterprise. Service oriented architectures have emerged as the standard way to build Grids. This paper provides a brief look at the Open Grid Service Architecture, a standard being proposed by the Global Grid Forum, which provides the foundational concepts of most Grid systems. Above this Grid foundation is a layer of application-oriented services that are managed by workflow tools and "Science gateway" portals that provide users transparent access to the applications that use the resources of a Grid.

Cost-Based Scheduling of Scientific Workflow Applications on Utility Grids 2005-12-21 01:01:53

Over the last few years, Grid technologies have progressed towards a service-oriented paradigm that enables a new way of service provisioning based on utility computing models. Users consume these services based on their QoS (Quality of Service) requirements. In such "pay-per-use" Grids, workflow execution cost must be considered during scheduling based on users' QoS constraints. In this paper, a cost-based workflow scheduling algorithm is proposed that minimizes execution cost while meeting the deadline for delivering results. It can also adapt to the delays of service executions by rescheduling unexecuted tasks.

Enhance Performance and Manageability Through Scalable High-Bandwidth PCI Express 2005-12-15 09:31:58

Ever-increasing network traffic creates bottlenecks in the existing parallel, multi-drop architecture of Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus systems. Today, PCI Express* architecture uses a 2.5-GHz serial I/O structure to provide higher bandwidth and far better scalability than previous architectures, improving network performance.

Read about the 3rd generation of PCI in this white paper.

Paremus - Infiniflow: Redefining Enterprise Grid 2006-01-05 01:01:44 Sun Microsystems

Infiniflow, an enterprise service fabric, is an extremely reliable, adaptive, high throughput grid platform that is ideal for a wide range of service-oriented, enterprise class business applications. Designed to meet the most demanding SLAs while operating across conventional and utility compute infrastructure, the Infiniflow enterprise service fabric (ESF) provides fully autonomic operation to reduce systems management costs. Easy-to-use Infiniflow development tools simplify the construction of Infiniflow applications, accelerating the delivery of new business solutions and lowering development costs.

When IT Becomes a Service, Business Flexibility Increases 2006-01-04 01:01:52

Today's businesses are rethinking the way they purchase and allocate IT resources. A new model is emerging-and rapidly gaining broad acceptance. This model is based on the concept of providing it as a set of services, which can be purchased whenever and wherever needed. Similar to the model used by large utility companies-where energy and products and services are made available on a pay-per-use basis-the services model for IT can significantly increase a business's flexibility and help control costs. IT becomes a service instead of a fixed asset. HP is a leader in developing and providing utility computing services to businesses across the globe. The utility approach to computing is core to HP's vision of an Adaptive Enterprise, where business and IT are synchronized to capitalize on change.

C&DS - IBM Content Management makes your company more competitive with Information On Demand 2006-09-15 10:02:51 IBM

Tightly integrating business information with processes and people is crucial in order to enhance productivity while extending information infrastructures to ensure consistent, high-quality customer service. Companies must ensure that information such as purchase histories and current portfolio activity is available to employees, distributors and customers, in real time. Learn how IBM Content Management can help you: improve productivity and maximize control of information, streamline compliance to address specific business needs, extend and leverage existing information assets, deliver content where it's needed, maximize return on information, curb database growth and manage compliance issues.

Data Services - Resilient, available and higher-value database servers as the foundation for Information On Demand 2006-09-15 10:02:51 IBM

Learn how IBM Data Servers can provide you with: 1) a resilient and security-rich information management infrastructure that maximizes availability while minimizing planned outages; 2) a scalable, powerful solution that handles mixed workloads and spikes in demand to fully leverage your resources and help you fulfill service-level agreements (SLAs); 3) a productivity-boosting system with autonomic features that enable your information technology (IT) staff to work efficiently�maximizing resources and helping you to keep down the total cost of ownership; and 4) database servers that plug easily into your existing IT architecture.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g R2 Grid Control: New Features for Database Management 2005-12-06 01:01:57

Enterprise Manager Grid Control has consolidated it's position as the best tool to manage and monitor not only Oracle databases but also the entire Oracle ecosystem which might include host systems, Web servers and application servers. Enterprises see a range of benefits as a result including higher reliability and predictability, higher system availability and transaction performance, and as a result a lower total cost of ownership. By fulfilling the essential requirements of a modern day data center management system, Enterprise Manager Grid Control is poised to play a key role in today's modern and provide a richer data center management experience than ever before.

Towards Automated Deployment of Built-to-Order Systems 2005-12-22 01:01:52 Hewlett-Packard

End-to-end automated application design and deployment poses a significant technical challenge. With increasing scale and complexity of IT systems and the manual handling of existing scripts and configuration files for application deployment that makes them increasingly error-prone and brittle, this problem has become more acute. Even though design tools have been used to automate system design, it is usually difficult to translate these designs to deployed systems in an automated manner as multiple activities are involved in such a deployment. This paper describes a generic process of automated deployment and an evaluation of the tool.
