whitepaper Processor Power Management in Windows Vista and Windows Server Longhorn2007-04-22 Microsoft
  Windows Vista and Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" include updated support for ACPI Processor Power Management (PPM) features, including support for processor performance states and processor idle sleep states on multiprocessor systems. This paper provides details of the support in Windows Vista, describes how PPM works with Windows Vista power policy, provides guidelines to BIOS developers and system designers, and includes details on how Windows Vista may be tuned to optimize the balance between performance and power savings.

whitepaper NPO Saturn Gets Top Positions in the Field of Aircraft Construction Due to Intel-Based IT Solutions0000-00-00 Intel
  High-performance computing is critical throughout the aircraft design lifecycle. To meet its growing demands for high-performance computing, NPO Saturn, one of Russia's leading aerospace companies, has chosen a clustered solution powered by the Intel Xeon processor and Intel Itanium 2 processor. With peak performance of 922 Gflops and LINPACK performance of 769 Gflops, the system is one of the most powerful of its kind within Russian industrial companies and the fourth highest ranking computer in the Top 50 supercomputer listing at CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States, the Union of former soviet republics excluding Baltic countries). To further its cost savings and flexibility, NPO Saturn chose a cluster running the Linux operating system.

whitepaper Nanyang Technological University Enrolls Intel Solution Services to Set the Direction for e-Learning0000-00-00 Intel
  Growing use of e-Learning applications by the Nanyang Technological University's 3,000 faculty and staff members, 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and fast-rising number of alumni was pushing the university's RISC architecture - based IT infrastructure to its limits. Yet the school was planning to increase the use of e-Learning applications by expanding its alumni distance-learning program. The school wanted to test and validate the expected price/performance and scalability of an Intel architecture running e-Learning applications in a Linux environment. Facing an expensive IT upgrade to accommodate projected 15 percent annual growth in e-Learning activity, the IT team decided to evaluate an Intel architecture as an alternative.

whitepaper Plaza Hotel Revolutionizes Customer Relationships With Technology Advantages From Intel Processor-Based Computers0000-00-00 Intel
  Plaza Hotel, the largest hotel in the Brazilian Southern region, was faced with the challenge of centralizing their administration, enhancing customer relationship management (CRM) information, and increasing the quality of services. The challenge was to restructure its information technology (IT) environment across six facilities to allow centralized hotel administration and improved customer relationship management capabilities. To restructure their IT environment, the Plaza Hotel chose the Linux open source operating system (OS) and Intel Xeon and Intel Celeron processor-based platforms to achieve the required performance and reliability.

whitepaper ELSC: Scalable Linux Scheduling on a Symmetric Multi-Processor Machine0000-00-00 University of Michigan
  Concerns about the scalability of multithreaded network servers running on Linux have prompted to investigate possible improvements to the Linux scheduler. The purpose of the research discussed in this paper is to improve the scalability of the Linux scheduler in order to prepare it for industrial-strength computational chores. The problem focuses on determining why time spent in the Linux scheduler increases with the number of threads executing in the system. It is determined that this problem's cause is a direct result of the scheduler's task selection process. This paper proposes a scheduler design alternative based on the static and dynamic portions of "Goodness", implement that design, and compare the implementation with the current Linux scheduler.

whitepaper Vanderbilt University's ACCRE Selects Capricorn Technologies and AMD64 for High Performance Storage Solution2007-04-16 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  Vanderbilt University's Advanced Computing Center for Research & Education (ACCRE) mission is to enhance the research efforts of all the colleges and schools at Vanderbilt, and ensure that all those who need access to the Center's computational power to advance their particular academic discipline can take advantage of the resource. They needed a tunable approach to storage and set about solving these issues on the software side. ACCRE deployed AMD64 processor-based solution with which they now have the ability to meet a wide range of user storage requirements while, at the management level, achieving a credible option for maximizing the storage resources with fewer dollars. The AMD64 processor-based Capricorn solution delivered exactly what they wanted.

whitepaper Edit 1 Media Completes Polished Videos On-Site in a Day Using Adobe Production Studio Software0000-00-00 Adobe Systems
  Imagine how exciting it would be to watch a video of your wedding at the reception, immediately following the big event. People who hire Chris and Laura Randall of Edit 1 Media to create their wedding videos can do exactly that. The Randalls and their team are pioneering same-day editing, shooting footage throughout the wedding day of events such as the bride getting ready as well as scenes from the ceremony. Edit 1 Media is taking videography to a new level of speed and efficiency-all using a Dell Precision M90 mobile workstation with an Intel Core Duo processor equipped with Adobe Production Studio software.

whitepaper Feedback Directed Implicit Parallelism2007-04-10 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper presents an automated way of using spare CPU resources within a shared memory multi-processor or multi-core machine. The approach is to profile the execution of a program; from this to identify pieces of work which are promising sources of parallelism; recompile the program with this work being performed speculatively via a work-stealing system and then to detect at run-time any attempt to perform operations that would reveal the presence of speculation.

whitepaper Gertex Weaves a New ERP Landscape Using SAP Software on IBM System p50000-00-00 IBM
  Gertex Textil GmbH is a medium-sized company operating in the textiles sector. The company wanted to replace sector-specific ERP system with industry-standard software; invest in 64-bit server technology to support at least three years of future business growth; ensure low cost of ownership for new solution. To solve this, the company worked with IT-Informatik GmbH, an IBM Premier Business Partner, to implement an SAP landscape under Linux on two IBM System p5 systems with IBM POWER5 microprocessors.

whitepaper Novell Case Study: The Susquehanna International Group of Companies0000-00-00 Novell
  The Susquehanna International Group of companies (SIG) is a leading institutional sales, research and market making firm active in financial markets on five continents. SIG needed an operating system platform that would support rapid development and deployment. SIG recognized the benefits of moving its UNIX environment to Linux would include better performance on AMD-based hardware. SIG evaluated several distributions before selecting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to run on its servers.
