whitepaper Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Beta 22006-12-26 01:00:57 Microsoft
  For customers solving complex computational problems, Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Beta 2 will accelerate time-to-insight by providing a High-Performance Computing (HPC) platform that is simple to deploy, operate, and integrate with existing infrastructure and tools. Historically, cluster configuration was technically complex and the level of difficulty frequently required dedicated support staff. Prescriptive setup procedures simplify network configuration, remote loading of nodes using Remote Installation Services, node configuration, and security setup. The integrated Job Scheduler can be accessed via command-line interface, or through several API's is provided for submitting and managing cluster workloads. Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 provides seamless integration with the award winning Windows Server 2003 operating system for security, storage, and productivity.   
whitepaper 85nm Gate Length Enhancement and Depletion Mode InSb Quantum Well Transistors for Ultra High Speed and Very Low Power Digital Logic Applications2005-10-31 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.

whitepaper Service Oriented Architectures for Science Gateways on Grid Systems2006-08-04 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.   
whitepaper Cost-Based Scheduling of Scientific Workflow Applications on Utility Grids2005-12-21 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.   
whitepaper Enhance Performance and Manageability Through Scalable High-Bandwidth PCI Express2005-12-15 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. 		  
whitepaper Paremus - Infiniflow: Redefining Enterprise Grid2006-01-05 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.   
whitepaper When IT Becomes a Service, Business Flexibility Increases2006-01-04 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.
