whitepaper Hardware Support for Spin Management in Overcommitted Virtual Machines2006-09-20 Association for Computing Machinery
  Multiprocessor Operating Systems (OSs) pose several unique and conflicting challenges to System Virtual Machines (System VMs). For example, most existing system VMs resort to gang scheduling a guest OS's virtual processors (VCPUs) to avoid OS synchronization overhead. However, gang scheduling is infeasible for some application domains, and is inflexible in other domains. In an overcommitted environment, an individual guest OS has more VCPUs than available physical processors (PCPUs), precluding the use of gang scheduling. In such an environment, the authors demonstrate a more than two-fold in-crease in runtime when transparently virtualizing a chip-multiprocessor's cores.

whitepaper Phoenix: Detecting and Recovering From Permanent Processor Design Bugs With Programmable Hardware2006-09-18 University of Illinois
  Although processor design verification consumes ever-increasing resources, many design defects still slip into production silicon. In a few cases, such bugs have caused expensive chip recalls. To truly improve productivity, hardware bugs should be handled like system software ones, with vendors periodically releasing patches to fix hardware in the field. Based on an analysis of serious design defects in current AMD, Intel, IBM, and Motorola processors, this paper proposes and evaluates Phoenix - novel field-programmable on-chip hardware that detects and recovers from design defects. Phoenix taps key logic signals and, based on downloaded defect signatures, combines the signals into conditions that flag defects.   
whitepaper Evaluation of ESX Server Under CPU Intensive Workloads2006-09-06 Brigham Young University
  Virtual machines are used by IT departments to provide better hardware utilization and to isolate users and programs from each other. The paper explores how configuration changes affect the throughput of virtual machines hosted on ESX Server during CPU intensive workloads. In particular the paper explores how Hyper-Threading, Virtual SMP, and the amount of RAM allocated affect throughput. Hyper-Threading is Intel's implementation of simultaneous multithreading technology and was introduced with the Xeon processor. Virtual SMP allows ESX Server to host virtual machines with two virtual processors.

whitepaper Intel Energy-Efficient Performance: Performance Made Energy Efficient Through New Technological Leaps2006-12-27 01:00:55 Intel
  The drive for more performance is relentless, but is now matched with a need for greater energy efficiency-performance made energy efficient. Intel is addressing this need by delivering unprecedented innovations in processor architecture, silicon, platform technologies, and software. These innovations are delivering superior performance in the most efficient ways to give people what they care about most - whether it's smaller devices, increased performance, lower cooling bills, or better energy-efficiency.   
whitepaper IBM eServer pSeries Hardware Management Console Security0000-00-00 UniRecovery
  The pSeries Hardware Management Console (HMC) was introduced in 2001 at the same time as the POWER4 family of AIX 5L servers. It consists of a 32-bit Intel processor-based computer running a modified Linux operating system. The primary function of the HMC is to run a graphical user interface based on Java that provides management tools for controlling one or more POWER4 servers and associated Logical PARtitions (LPARs). This white paper describes what IBM has done to protect the HMC from unauthorized access or exploitation in a networked environment.

whitepaper Harness the Power of Virtualization for Server Consolidation: Xen-Based Virtualization With SUSE Linux Enterprise on AMD Processors With AMD Virtualization2006-09-01 Novell
  Virtualization lets one to reduce the total number of servers by giving a person the ability to migrate multiple environments on different physical machines to individual virtual machines hosted on a single server. These virtual machines each run their own independent and self-contained operating systems and server applications. By consolidating multiple server environments onto a single server, one can harness more of the data center's unused computing power and get up to eight times more work from the same amount of resources. Virtualization also provides the added benefit of dynamic provisioning - moving applications and systems in one virtual machine from one server to another as needed.
