whitepaper Performance Characterization of HP ProLiant DL360 G5 With Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors (3.16 GHz/2x6 MB) in a 64-Bit HP Server Based Computing Environment2007-11-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper describes a performance characterization performed utilizing the HP 64-bit test harness, which incorporates a Microsoft Office 2003 workload. Test results cannot be compared directly with the results of tests performed using the 32-bit Office XP- or Office 2003-based harnesses. Combining concentrated 1U computing power, HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) management, and essential fault tolerance, the HP ProLiant DL360 G5 server is a great choice for any business where space is at a premium.

whitepaper Huawei ATCA Blade Server Powered by AMD Opteron Processors2007-10-22 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  When AMD first introduced the AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture in 2003, the target market was for servers in the datacenter. Back then, AMD had a new vision for how system memory and I/O interface to the processor core as well as the ability to create the world's first native dual-core and quad-core x86 processors. These technological advances by AMD have also brought out a new metric called "Performance per watt" which is frequently used as a way to measure overall processor effectiveness. Besides the traditional server market, AMD Opteron processors are also being used for high-end embedded applications. The AMD64 superscalar processor family features Direct Connect Architecture with an integrated memory controller, a scalable high-speed HyperTransport technology I/O interface and industry-leading x86 processor performance.

whitepaper Quantum?Dot?Based Photonic Devices2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  Adopting nanometer-sized semiconductor particles, called quantum dots, in the active regions of photonic devices provides the characteristics specific to 3-dimensional quantum effects. This will greatly improve the performance of photonic devices in many respects. This paper is developing quantum-dot lasers and quantum-dot optical amplifiers through joint research conducted with the University of Tokyo. This paper introduces the development of technology for these devices, along with some recent results. For quantum-dot lasers, one has realized temperature-insensitive direct modulation at a modulation rate of 10 Gb/s in the 1.3-?m wavelength range. The paper has also fabricated high-performance, quantum-dot optical amplifiers with a wide bandwidth of over 100 nm, high gain of 20 dB, and high optical output power of over +20 dBm.   
whitepaper Carbon Nanotube Bumps for Thermal and Electric Conduction in Transistor2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor chips has rapidly improved the performance of semiconductor products. However, thermal issues that affect semi- conductor chips are becoming more serious. For example, heat transfer has become a very serious problem in the CPUs of personal computers; high-frequency High-Power Amplifiers (HPAs) of mobile communication systems; and power control units of hybrid-car motors. To solve this problem, Fujitsu has been developing semi-conductor heat sinks that exploit the high thermal conductivity of Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs). This paper describes the CNT bumps that have been recently developed for transferring heat and electrically connecting the source, gate, and drain of the high-power, flip-chip amplifiers of mobile communication base stations.

whitepaper New Ferroelectric Material for Embedded FRAM LSIs2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  The strong growth of information network infrastructures in the society has enabled personal authentication services for electronic money systems and ticketless trans- portation services to become firmly established. Secure, high-speed, and low power consumption nonvolatile memories will be required for mobile devices used with smart RFID tags and secure IC cards. Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) is one of the best choices for these applications. Market needs must be paid attention for these mobile and secure applications.   
whitepaper Statistical Static Timing Analysis Technology2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  With CMOS technology scaling down to the nanometer realm, process variations have been increased. In particular, the increase of delay variations has seriously affected the design periods and timing yields. To estimate more accurately these delay variations, Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA), which considers delay variations statistically, has been proposed. SSTA is expected to shorten the design Turnaround Time (TAT) and predict the timing yields. Research on practical applications of SSTA has already been conducted at Fujitsu Laboratories. The paper has developed SSTA tools for use in designs for processors and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) in cooperation with Fujitsu and Fujitsu VLSI. This paper describes the delay variations and basic SSTA techniques and introduces SSTA applications to Fujitsu's processor and ASIC design flows.

whitepaper Leading Managed Services Provider Forecasts "The Perfect Storm" for Small Business Services2007-10-01 Intel
  With the right processes and the right tools, one can become the client's high-value IT department. But 'High-value' doesn't mean 'Fix it when it breaks.' It means an enterprise level of service for small businesses that puts the right infrastructure in place, keeps it working with very few disruptions, and grows it carefully as the client's needs and challenges change. masterIT's tools were not mature enough to support their business model effectively. But now the company's current managed services infrastructure - built on N-able's software's management console, N-central, and PCs with Intel vPro processor technology - gives the capability to deliver very comprehensive, very high-value services to their clients at a reasonable cost.   
whitepaper Medical Device Manufacturer Makes Hand-Carried Ultrasound a Reality2007-10-01 Microsoft Tips
  SonoSite, Inc. is leading in the race to make medical imaging devices smaller and more portable. Its lightweight, hand-carried, point-of-care ultrasound products enable clinicians to deliver safer, better, faster care, right at the patient bedside. For its latest product, SonoSite M-Turbo system, the company wanted to maintain rapid boot-up time of less than 15 seconds, while increasing system performance and enabling high-bandwidth transfer of image data files for clinicians to be able to seamlessly access digital images for diagnostic consultation, instruction, and publishing. SonoSite sought an embedded operating system to run with Texas Instruments' DaVinci Technology. As a Windows Embedded Partner, Texas Instruments recommended Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 for its support of connectivity options, multimedia capabilities, and integration with Visual Studio 2005 development tools.

whitepaper Digital Services Developer Launches Handheld Media Player With Embedded System0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Commodore International Corporation (CIC), based in the Netherlands, planned to develop a range of innovative digital media services. One, the Gravel-in-Pocket, aimed to meet the increasing demand for music and video streaming through handheld devices. To launch the product at CeBIT 2007 - the digital showcase event - CIC needed to develop the software platform rapidly. It chose Windows CE version 5.0 as the operating system and worked with Windows Embedded Partner PTS Software to create the application layer. As a result, CIC saved up to five months in development time and established a reliable software platform supporting the latest media formats such as MPEG 4, Xvid, DivX, and Windows Media Video (WMV).

whitepaper Growing Manufacturer Gains Productivity and IT Reliability With Combination Solution0000-00-00 Microsoft
  In only one year, California manufacturer Soundproof Windows quadrupled - from 4 people in a 5000 square-foot shop to 23 people in an 18000 square-foot facility, with offices across the country and overseas. The company realized that its aging computer network could not meet increasing business requirements. Desktop computers had no reliable e-mail, fax, or internet security service. Nor could the company provide remote access for its mobile users. Nor could the company provide remote access for its mobile users. Teaming with ExpressNets, a Microsoft Certified Partner and Intel Technology Provider, Soundproof Windows deployed and Intel Xenon processor-based server running Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003.
