Planning Considerations for HiperDispatch Mode 2008-04-02 IBM

For all levels of z/OS, a TCB or SRB may be dispatched on any logical processor of the type required (standard, zAAP or zIIP). A unit of work starts on one logical processor and subsequently may be dispatched on any other logical processor. The logical processors for one LPAR image receive an equal share for equal access to the physical processors under PR/SM LPAR control. For example, if the weight of a logical partition with four logical processors results in a share of two physical processors, or 200%, the LPAR hypervisor will manage each of the four logical processors with a 50% share of a physical processor. All logical processors are used if there is work available, and they typically have similar processing utilizations.

An Assessment of Leadership Performance With POWER6 Processors and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 2008-01-31 IBM

Compute-intensive performance is increasingly required for today's high-performance environments. The IBM System p 570 with POWER6 processors provides leadership performance and demonstrates excellent scalability moving from one node to four nodes in this environment while providing linear SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing) scaling and growth for workloads similar to the metrics used here. This paper highlights the exceptional performance on IBM's POWER6 processor-based systems running with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.1 operating system, based on recently audited published SPEC CPU2006 and SPECjbb2005 results, including single-system LINPACK metrics on System p 570 4-core, 8-core and 16-core systems. With Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) support turned on, Linux is easily able to provide effective scheduling support of the 32 processor threads seen on the 16-core 570 system.

Developed a Feature Rich Speed Controller Board for a Leading Air Conditioning Company That Would Equip the Client to Be First Mover in the Market 2008-01-26 MindTree Consulting

The client wanted to take to market the All Electric Air Conditioning System for large vehicles. The system would control evaporator fan speeds to ensure uniform temperature control and increase safety. MindTree leveraged its expertise in hardware design and development to develop a microcontroller based system with enhanced features that reduced the time to market for the final product. The new design reduced the product cost without compromising on safety and reliability.

45-nm Manufacturing Creating the Next Wave of Quad-Core Processors

This Might Be the Last Place You'd Expect to Find an Intel Processor 2008-01-01 Intel

Finding a processing platform that runs so efficiently has been challenging for developers like GD Canada. Proprietary technology can offer the performance and power efficiency needed, but such solutions are often vendor-specific, take a very long time to develop and deploy, and can be quite costly to maintain, let alone upgrade. Intel really attacked the thermal output and power consumption problem when they came out with the Intel Pentium M processor and associated chipsets. Shortly after Intel launched the Intel Pentium M processor, the U.S. Army announced the Future Combat System (FCS) program, a move to standardize the Army's entire vehicle computing infrastructure on a common product.

An Innovative Tool to Benchmark Smartphone Operating Systems 2008-01-01 Jakajima

Jakajima, a knowledge and information provider for the telecom, ICT, and consumer-electronics trade chain, noticed that no real benchmark has been developed for Smartphone Operating Systems, while the importance of the smartphone and its' OS is growing rapidly. Together with Eindhoven University of Technology, Jakajima has developed a benchmark for these Operating systems. With this benchmark, Jakajima and Eindhoven University of Technology offer the market (OS developers, application developers, hardware suppliers, operators etc.) new innovative tools to compare their mobile products and/or applications in an independent way. The benchmark is an ideal tool in any phase of a product; during concept, development and deployment. This paper provides the approach, methodology and some results.

Wireless Digital Picture Frame Retrieves Live Information From Windows Vista Computers 2007-12-21 Microsoft Tips

The Momento digital picture frame needed to stand out from a pack of look-alike products. To differentiate their product from a standalone digital frame, which simply reads photos from memory cards or USB keys, OEM i-mate designed a connected, services-oriented device intended for the high-end segment of the consumer electronics market. Windows Embedded CE provided built in WiFi connectivity, advanced graphics, and powerful, integrated development tools. Using Visual Studio and .NET Compact Framework to build applications and web services, i-mate completed development in four months. Today, the Momento frame not only communicates wirelessly with local computers to stream photos and other content from hard drives, it also streams pictures from the Internet and displays live information from Windows Vista systems using Windows SideShow gadget technology.
