CSIP can offer a systematic and cost effective lifecycle management solution for desktop and notebook PCs. CSIP, combined with the AMD64 platform, was developed to help customers extend PC client lifecycles, and can offer significant value as the latest cutting-edge applications become mainstream. With CSIP, AMD is embracing extending the benefits of competition, choice and stable image solutions to their customers and industry partners.   
whitepaper Super-Servers: Commodity Computer Clusters Pose a Software Challenge2006-05-02 04:39:30
  Technology is pushing the fastest processors onto single mass-produced chips. Standards are defining a new level of integration: the Pizza Box - a one board computer with memory, disk, baseware, and middleware. These developments fundamentally change the way one will build computers. Future designs must leverage commodity products. Clusters of computers are the natural way to build future mainframes. A simple analysis suggests that such machines will have thousands of processors giving a tera-op processing rate, terabytes of RAM storage, many terabytes of disc storage, and terabits-per-second of communications bandwidth.   
whitepaper Exploiting the Scalability and Power of FLUENT2005-07-20 03:00:01
  Download this Intel-sponsored white paper to read about a collaborative engineering initiative between Fluent, SGI, Intel, and NEC that yielded the greatest advances in the performance and scalability of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application ever. Find out why running FLUENT on the Altix platform with SGI’s newest version of MPT (Message Passing Toolkit) reduces communications latency and significantly improves the performance of FLUENT in high-processor-count situations.   
whitepaper Advanced Virtualization Capabilities of POWER5 Systems2005-11-29 01:00:03
  IBM POWER5 systems combine enhancements in the IBM PowerPC processor architecture with greatly enhanced firmware to significantly increase the virtualization capabilities of IBM POWER servers. The POWER hypervisor, the basis of the IBM Virtualization Engine technologies on POWER5 systems, delivers leading-edge mainframe virtualization technologies to the UNIX marketplace. The technology behind the virtualization capabilities that are available on the POWER5 servers, enabling customers to better utilize the industry-leading computing capacity of the POWER5 processor, is discussed in this paper.   
whitepaper The AMD Processor Roadmap for HP ProLiant Servers2006-05-02 06:33:57 Hewlett-Packard
  In 2003, AMD introduced the AMD Opteron processor with 64-bit extensions. It was the first x86- based processor capable of using 64-bit operating systems and applications. Building on its architecture, AMD introduced dual-core Opteron processors in 2005. This paper discusses the Opteron processor family, its high-level architecture, and how the processors are used in ProLiant server products.   
whitepaper Optimized Linux Code for Intel XScale Microarchitecture2006-12-22 01:00:22 Intel
  This paper outlines recommendations to be made to the software architecture of a software product running on I/O Processors (IOPs) using Intel XScale microarchitecture. The objective of the recommendations is to optimize the overall system performance by making enhancements to the software architecture used with external storage products. As a result of the increased usage of Linux on IOPs using Intel XScale microarchitecture, Intel has identified several recommendations to the software architecture that can be made to improve the overall system performance.   
whitepaper Discovering Multi-Core: Extending the Benefits of Moore's Law2005-07-01 Intel
  Intel dual- and multi-core chips are ushering in a new era of computer architecture, embracing a scale-out approach to enhance performance and enable more-efficient simultaneous processing of multiple tasks. Multi-core chips do more work per clock cycle, and thus can be designed to operate at lower frequencies than their single-core counterparts. Since power consumption goes up proportionally with frequency, multi core architecture gives engineers the means to address the problem of runaway power and cooling requirements. All this makes for significantly improved user experiences in both home and business environments, enabling Intel to extend Moore's Law well into the future.

whitepaper HP Integrity Superdome Server Breaks the 1 MILLION Plus tpmC Mark With 64 Intel Itanium 2 9M Processors, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64-Bit, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64-Bit Datacenter Edition2005-09-15 03:00:04 Hewlett-Packard
  The HP Integrity Superdome is a high-end enterprise computing solution that continues to demonstrate leading performance, flexibility, simplified management, best-in-class solution deployment, and a track record of leading benchmarks. By supporting the next generation Intel Itanium 2 processor, the Integrity Superdome now provides up to 37% performance improvement over its previous model running a Microsoft Windows platforms.   
whitepaper Automating Initial Setup and Management of Sun Fire V20z and V40z Servers2005-11-09 01:00:02
  Many compute- and network-centric applications can benefit from pools or grids of smaller, horizontally-scaled servers due to their lower initial cost, flexibility, scalability, and performance for certain tasks. However, installing and managing tens or hundreds of servers in a consistent manner can be time consuming and prone to errors that further increase the time required to manage large pools of servers. This paper describes a method for helping system administrators save time by automating the processes and running them on multiple systems simultaneously. It details the steps for creating scripts to automate these tasks and run them in parallel and includes examples of several of the more common tasks.   
whitepaper Resizing Partitions Automatically With HP-UX Workload Manager2006-03-03 01:01:29
  This paper is intended for individuals interested in using one or both of the following technologies to isolate applications while also maintaining a desired level of performance from those applications: HP-UX virtual partitions and nPartitions with HP Instant Capacity. The paper explains how to manage partitions, adding and removing processors as needed, using HP-UX WLM A.03.00 (product B8843CA) running on HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) or later.
