Dell Helps Merlin Securities Prepare for the Future of the Hedge Fund Industry 2006-03-01 Dell

Merlin Securities needed a reliable, high-performance IT infrastructure to provide medium and large-sized hedge funds with advanced portfolio management tools and near-real-time reporting. As a solution Merlin Securities deployed clustered Dell PowerEdge 2850 and PowerEdge 1850 servers with Intel Xeon processors running an Oracle Database 10g on the Linux operating system; and a Storage Area Network (SAN) for remote disaster recovery solution; leasing from Dell Financial Services. As a result high-performance IT allowed Merlin Securities to provide its customers in the hedge fund industry deeper analysis faster than in the past and clustered server architecture helped scale service offering when Merlin Securities adds new fund managers with extremely large portfolios.

Dell Helps Provide the Power and Visual Accuracy Necessary to Meet the Needs of One of the World's Largest Associations of Adobe Photoshop Professionals 2006-03-01 Dell

To produce its wide variety of publications and events, National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) needs computing technologies that can deliver not only speed and power for image rendering but also accurate color representation. NAPP wanted to be sure that the colors in its books and magazines appear perfect in print. To achieve this goal, the organization needs monitors with enough brightness and resolution to let designers view images clearly. As a solution NAPP deployed Dell Precision 670 workstations and Dell Precision M70 mobile workstations with Intel processors running the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system and Adobe Photoshop software; Dell UltraSharp high-definition flat panel monitors.

Guide to Multiple Page Size Support on AIX 5L Version 5.3 2006-04-04 03:00:58

The POWER5+ processor and AIX 5L Version 5.3 with the 5300-04 Recommended Maintenance Package introduce support for two new virtual memory page sizes - 64KB and 16GB. Using larger virtual memory page sizes for an application's memory can significantly improve an application's performance and throughput due to hardware efficiencies associated with larger page sizes. This paper gives an overview of the new multiple page size support of AIX 5L and how a user can use these new page sizes for an application's memory to potentially improve performance.

Enhanced Virtualization on Intel Architecture Based Servers: Improve Utilization, Manage Change, Reduce Costs 2006-12-22 01:00:22 Intel

Virtualization technology is already transforming the way many IT organizations provision and manage their systems and applications. Server virtualization enables the flexible and secure consolidation of multiple operating systems and applications onto a single platform. This helps to reduce server proliferation, increase utilization, simplify IT infrastructure, and reduce management costs. When used in conjunction with rapid software provisioning tools, it can also enable flexible and dynamic management of hardware resources to address shifting workload requirements. These capabilities are delivering substantial value Virtualization is a transformative technology, and Intel is committed to delivering market-leading virtualization capabilities on Intel architecture. These capabilities will complement a variety of other Intel platform innovations focused on addressing some of the most critical IT challenges.

i2 Supply Chain Planner V6.2 on IBM System p5: Scalability and Performance Benchmark on the p5-570+ 8-Way With POWER5+ Processors 2006-02-01 IBM

This white paper explores the advantages of deploying to the IBM System p5 570+, built on the next generation IBM POWER5+ technology, for i2 Technologies Supply Chain Planner (SCP) implementations. This paper conclusively shows that the p5-570+ provides superior availability, performance, and scalability for SCP solutions. Test results demonstrate that the p5-570+ is an ideal platform to meet the needs of small and large businesses.

Denver Health Improves Business Operations and Patient Care by Standardizing on Dell Servers, Storage, Desktops, and Services 2006-02-01 Dell

Denver Health is a level-one trauma center equipped to provide the most demanding care to adults and children. Denver Health began its IT recovery by designing architecture to link departmental data. The Denver Health IT department decided to buy and build applications that integrated patient billing, insurance carrier data, medical records, lab scheduling, radiology images, and prescriptions. With the architecture decided upon and the applications selected, Denver Health set about evaluating hardware vendors. Denver Health tightly integrated applications running on Dell PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processors; systems standardized on Dell OptiPlex and Dell Dimension desktops, as well as Dell Inspiron notebooks; Dell Platinum Support.

Using advanced compiler technology to exploit the performance of the Cell Broadband Engine architecture 2007-05-21 13:00:29 IBM

This IBM white paper discusses a variety of compiler techniques designed to exploit the performance potential of the synergistic processor elements (SPEs), enabling the multilevel heterogeneous parallelism found in the Cell Broadband Engine architecture and enhancing programmability while providing for high performance.

The paper also reviews the Cell Broadband Engine architecture and presents the results of compiler techniques, including:

SPE optimization

Automatic code generation

Single source parallelization

Partitioning

Lock Free Data Structures Using STM in Haskell 2006-05-02 05:16:53 Microsoft

This paper explores the feasibility of re-expressing concurrent algorithms with explicit locks in terms of lock free code written using Haskell's implementation of software transactional memory. Experimental results are presented which show that for multi-processor systems the simpler lock free implementations offer superior performance when compared to their corresponding lock based implementations.

MPI Microtask for Programming the Cell Broadband Enginee Processor 2006-03-23 04:42:53

The Cell Broadband Engine processor employs multiple accelerators, called Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs), for high performance. Each SPE has a high-speed local store attached to the main memory through Direct Memory Access (DMA), but a drawback of this design is that the local store is not large enough for the entire application code or data. It must be decomposed into pieces small enough to fit into local memory, and they must be replaced through the DMA without losing the performance gain of multiple SPEs. This paper proposes a new programming model, MPI microtask, based on the standard Message Passing Interface (MPI) programming model for distributed-memory parallel machines.
