whitepaper Leading Travel Firm Flies High With HP-AMD Solution0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Sabre Holding Corp.'s Global Distribution System (GDS) processes more than 48 million travel shopping, pricing, and availability transactions daily. Faced with dramatic increases in demand for its online travel and decision-support services, the firm needed to update its aging mainframe applications and hardware infrastructure in order to reduce costs of operation, increase service flexibility, and ensure availability. After comparing the features, performance characteristics and reliability of the AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL585 against other 64-bit platforms, travel-giant Sabre Holdings went with ProLiant servers running Linux Red Hat 3.0. These systems serve as the application-processing layer in a multi-tier architecture, which also includes HP NonStop and HP Integrity servers.

whitepaper Novell Case Study: FRITZ EGGER GmbH & Co.0000-00-00 Novell
  Headquartered in St. Johann in the Tyrol region of Austria, FRITZ EGGER GmbH ≈ Co. is a leading producer of wood-based materials in Europe. FRITZ EGGER was running 16 separate SAP ERP environments, supporting a total of 2,000 users, on proprietary HP Alpha servers running HP True64 UNIX. The company wanted to retain its existing Oracle databases while moving to a new 64-bit operating system that would not lock it into buying proprietary hardware. FRITZ EGGER selected SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as the platform for its SAP ERP software, supporting 2,000 users across five countries. The solution - initially the world's largest implementation of SAP on x86 Linux - offers high availability and performance, total hardware independence, and professional support from Novell.

whitepaper Power and Cooling in the Datacenter2007-03-29 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  Today's datacenter is more than a room built to house rack upon rack of servers - it is a complex system. In fact, datacenters have become so complex - with so many interactions among processors, rack systems, power and cooling systems, storage arrays, networks, and communications channels - that they can be regarded as ecosystems, requiring only the input of energy to become a world in themselves, while supporting virtually all critical business and scientific computing needs both inside and outside an enterprise. The escalating speed, capacity, and power density of datacenter components have increased the degree of interdependence typically required for maximum performance and cost-effectiveness. Processor power, chip density, and the resulting power consumption and heat can have a profound effect on datacenter operational costs.

whitepaper A SystemC Transaction Level Model for the MIPS R3000 Processor2007-03-29 Concordia University
  Processor cores in embedded applications build today the cornerstone of System-on-Chip designs. Among the most successful RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) cores are the MIPS processors used in applications such as DVD, automotive, broadband access, networking, etc. This paper designs and verifies a Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) architecture of the MIPS R3000 in SystemC. The TLM in SystemC is adopted so that abstract data types can be used for higher level modeling and faster simulation. The processor is implemented such that the instruction and data caches contain all the necessary instructions and data to eliminate complex memory access management, respectively.

whitepaper Multi-Core and Linux Kernel2007-03-27 Intel
  Semiconductor technological advances in the recent years have led to the inclusion of multiple CPU execution cores in a single processor package. This processor architecture is known as Multi-Core (MC) or Chip Multi Processing (CMP). Any application which is well optimized and scales with SMP will take immediate benefit of the multiple execution cores, provided by the Multi-core architecture. Even if the application is single-threaded, multi-tasking environment will take advantage of these multiple execution cores. 2.6 Linux kernels take instant advantage of the MC architecture. MC also brings in performance optimization opportunities which will further enhance the performance. This paper captures the recent enhancements to the 2.6 Linux Kernel which better support and enhance the performance of Multi-core capable platforms.
