whitepaper Server Rightsizing: Dual-Socket Systems Cut Costs2006-12-22 01:00:22 Intel
  By establishing a policy of using two-socket servers - except for large scale-up applications - Intel has saved more than USD 8 million in capital costs, power and cooling, and data center infrastructure. Intel operates a worldwide computing environment with about 8,000 servers; buying the most cost-effective servers translates into major savings. Due to rapidly increasing processor power, dual-socket servers can run the vast majority of business applications, including many previously handled by four-socket servers costing three to four times as much.   
whitepaper Inside Intel Core Microarchitecture and Smart Memory Access: An In-Depth Look at Intel Innovations for Accelerating Execution of Memory-Related Instructions2006-12-22 01:00:22 Intel
  The Intel Core microarchitecture is a new foundation for Intel architecture-based desktop, mobile, and mainstream server multi-core processors. This state-of-the-art, power-efficient multi-core microarchitecture delivers increased performance and performance per watt, thus increasing overall energy efficiency. Intel Core microarchitecture extends the energy-efficient philosophy first delivered in Intel's mobile microarchitecture (Intel Pentium M processor), and greatly enhances it with many leading edge microarchitectural advancements, as well as some improvements on the best of Intel NetBurst microarchitecture. This new microarchitecture also enables a wide range of frequencies and thermal envelopes to satisfy different needs. This paper provides a brief look at the five major "Ingredients" of the Intel Core microarchitecture.   
whitepaper Built-In Manageability and Proactive Security for Business Desktop PCs2006-12-09 01:00:17 Intel
  Business Desktop PCs with Intel vPro technology provide down-the-wire proactive security and manageability capabilities - even for PCs whose power is off or whose operating system is down. These PCs also include virtualization capabilities that allow IT managers to enhance isolation of third-party applications. PCs with Intel vPro technology feature dual-core Intel Core2 Duo processors that deliver significantly improved performance for compute-intensive tasks - all in a power-efficient package that is Windows Vista Premium Ready.   
whitepaper Random Walk for Self-Stabilizing Group Communication in Ad Hoc Networks2006-07-01 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper introduces a self-stabilizing group communication system for ad hoc networks. The system design is based on a mobile agent, collecting and distributing information, during a random walk. Three possible settings for modeling the location of the mobile nodes (processors) in the ad hoc network are presented: slow location change, complete random change, and neighbors with probability. The group membership algorithm is based on a mobile agent collecting and distributing information. The new techniques support group membership and multicast, and also support resource allocation.

whitepaper Accelerating Security Applications With Intel Multi-Core Processors2006-12-26 01:00:57 Intel
  The transition to multi-core processors offers flexibility for development and optimization of higher performance applications. Multi-core architectures can significantly improve program flow so that cache memory associated with each execution core is used more effectively. With multiple caches, optimizing data locality is possible, driving higher cache-hit rates and improved overall application performance. Intel demonstrated over 6x performance improvement of an intrusion detection and prevention security application running on four processor cores (dual-core, dual-processor) - without threading the application. Such supra-linear performance improvements offer new opportunities for developers to inexpensively improve their applications while also achieving faster time-to-market.   
whitepaper Validate Java EE Annotations With Annotation Processors2006-11-29 01:00:19 Sun Microsystems
  The annotation facility is widely used in Java EE 5 and other frameworks, but it needs a validation facility to check the semantic constraints. Apt is a great tool for creating annotation processors to validate EE annotations at build time. The apt-based, build-time annotation validation is complementary to run-time reflection-based validation. It is especially useful when the annotations are not available at run time. The upcoming JSR-269 defines a standardized annotation process API to supersede the apt API. The new annotation processing API is easy to use and preferred, even though apt remains supported in the next release of Java.   
whitepaper Set Up Procedure for Performance Characterization Results: Benchmark to Demonstrate Improvement in SIP Performance for IMS, Powered by Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors2006-12-27 01:00:55 Intel
  This white paper provides the detailed technical information necessary to understand test parameters and results characterizing Single Board Computer (SBC) performance for IMS workload based on SIP transactions. SIP testing was performed to determine a relative comparison of SBC performance reflecting the performance of the microprocessor, memory architecture, and compiler of a computer system on compute-intensive, 32-bit applications.   
whitepaper Microsoft SQL Server I/O Basics Chapter 2: SQL Server 2004 SP4 and SQL Server 20052007-05-29 00:08:30 Microsoft
  Microsoft SQL Server 2005 continues to innovate and extend I/O performance and reliability. With new innovations come new terms, designs, and algorithms. The administrator of a SQL Server 2005 installation will find that visibility into the SQL Server I/O subsystem has been significantly increased. A primary focus of the SQL Server 2005 I/O design was overall stability of performance and data integrity as these relate to the outside influences of the I/O subsystem/path. The new and extended features provide both more visibility and more capabilities. One can maintain a SQL Server 2005 installation with high confidence in the system. This paper introduces new terms, discusses maintenance and configuration issues, new and improved error messages, and I/O enhancements.   
whitepaper Solving Power and Cooling Challenges for High Performance Computing2006-12-26 01:00:57 Intel
  It takes a comprehensive strategy to scale High Performance Computing (HPC) capabilities, while simultaneously containing power and cooling costs. New Dual-Core Intel Xeon and Intel Itanium processor-based servers offer a critical new resource, delivering dramatic increases in performance, price/performance and energy-efficiency across a broad range of HPC applications. This paper explains this and other Intel advances that can help to increase density, reduce costs and scale capacity in the existing facilities.   
whitepaper Preparing Applications for Intel Core Microarchitecture2006-06-01 Intel
  Intel Core microarchitecture combines the best of the desktop Intel NetBurst microarchitecture and mobile Intel Pentium M architecture. As Intel will be using a single architecture for both the desktop and mobile platforms, the challenge is how to prepare applications so that they can run well on Intel Core microarchitecture. What can be done with existing and new desktop and mobile applications to make them ready when the new Intel processors hit the market? This paper is not intended to show users everything they can do to improve the performance of existing applications on the Intel Core microarchitecture. It only suggests some techniques to either improve or maintain the performance of an existing application when running on systems with these new Intel processors.
