The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) | 2008-01-01 | Microsoft |
| This white paper reviews the ongoing OMB and NIST Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) program at an executive level. It provides information on how the program originated, its current status and source data for additional information. The concept of enhancing PC and network security while also reducing the total cost of ownership first took shape on a large enterprise scale in the US Air Force. During the 2004-2006 timeframe, the Air Force, partnering with Microsoft, developed the Standard Desktop Configuration (SDC) and successfully deployed the SDC image on over 435,000 desktops and laptops. | |||

Characterizing and Evaluating Desktop Grids: An Empirical Study | 2007-12-01 | University of California |
| Desktop resources are attractive for running compute-intensive distributed applications. Several systems that aggregate these resources in desktop grids have been developed. While these systems have been successfully used for many high throughput applications there has been little in-sight into the detailed temporal structure of CPU availability of desktop grid resources. Yet, this structure is critical to characterize the utility of desktop grid platforms for both task parallel and even data parallel applications. This paper addresses the following questions: What are the temporal characteristics of desktop CPU availability in an enterprise setting? How do these characteristics affect the utility of desktop grids? Based on these characteristics, can one construct a model of server "Equivalents" for the desk-top grids, which can be used to predict application performance?

Set Up a New Desktop Computer | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft Tips |
| When one sets up a new desktop computer, some assembly is required. And computer setup isn't limited to hardware - when one first turns on a new computer that has Microsoft Windows preinstalled, one needs to perform some simple setup tasks. If the new computer is a standard desktop model, it consists of at least four pieces: a Central Processing Unit (CPU), which is the box that contains the computer's processor, memory, disk drives, and ports for connecting external devices; a monitor; a keyboard; and a mouse. There might also be a pair of external speakers. Turn the CPU around. The back of the CPU has a collection of ports and jacks that looks something like this illustration, although they might be arranged differently.
