JouleSort: A Balanced Energy-Efficiency Benchmark 2007-06-14 Association for Computing Machinery

The energy efficiency of computer systems is an important concern in a variety of contexts. In data centers, reducing energy use improves operating cost, scalability, reliability, and other factors. For mobile devices, energy consumption directly affects functionality and usability. The paper proposes and motivates JouleSort, an external sort benchmark, for evaluating the energy efficiency of a wide range of computer systems from clusters to handhelds. The paper lists the criteria, challenges, and pitfalls from the experience in creating a fair energy-efficiency benchmark. Using a commercial sort, the paper demonstrates a JouleSort system that is over 3.5x as energy-efficient as last year's estimated winner. This system is quite different from those currently used in data centers.

Part 3: Orchestrating Into End-to-End Processes 2007-02-01 Oracle

This paper focuses on how to build agile and standard business processes that orchestrate those services into end-to-end business flows. A business process is a series of steps required to implement a business function. The business process may include system interactions and/or human interactions, within an enterprise or extending across corporate boundaries. Some enterprises merely document their business processes, for consistency or regulatory purposes. However, the past several years have seen an increase in the number of organizations that use IT systems to execute and monitor their business processes in an automated fashion. The paper believes that one of the key drivers behind this accelerating adoption of Business Process Management (BPM) is the emergence of broadly accepted standards such as WS-BPEL for implementing and executing business processes.

Wireless Universal Serial Bus (WUSB): Greater Convenience and Mobility to Devices 2006-11-28 University of California

The Universal Serial Bus (USB), with one billion units in the installed base, is the most successful interface in PC history. Projections are for 3.5 billion interfaces shipped by 2006. Benefiting from exceptionally strong industry support from all market segments, USB continues to evolve as new technologies and products come to market. It is already the de facto interconnect for PCs, and has proliferated into Consumer Electronics (CE) and mobile devices as well. Wireless USB will build on the success of wired USB, bringing USB technology into the wireless future. Usage will be targeted at PCs and PC peripherals, consumer electronics and mobile devices.

Microsoft SQL Server I/O Basics Chapter 2: SQL Server 2004 SP4 and SQL Server 2005 2007-05-29 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.

Updating Fibre Channel Expansion Card BIOS With RDM 4.30 2006-05-11 IBM

This paper explains how to use IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) 4.30 (or a later RDM version) to update the BIOS on Fibre Channel Expansion Cards in BladeCenter HS20 systems. There are other ways to flash Diagnostics firmware (e.g., with the BIOS diskette, with the UpdateXpress CD, etc.). But using RDM to do this from a remote console on many systems concurrently, without having to visit the systems, is a powerful and easy way to accomplish this task.
