whitepaper Adaptive Sensing and Image Processing With a General-Purpose Pixel-Parallel Sensor/Processor Array Integrated Circuit2006-09-01 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  In this paper, a pixel-parallel image sensor/processor architecture with a fine-grain massively parallel SIMD analogue processor array is overviewed and the latest VLSI implementation, SCAMP-3 vision chip, comprising 128 × 128 array, fabricated in a 0.35µm CMOS technology, is presented. Examples of real-time image-processing executed on the chip are shown. Sensor-level data reduction, wide dynamic range and adaptive sensing algorithms, enabled by the sensor-processor integration, are discussed.

whitepaper Dell Infrastructure Is Helping Connectria Streamline Operations and Inspire Customer Confidence2006-09-01 Dell
  Founded in 1996, Connectria originally focused on Internet infrastructure consulting but later widened its scope to include hosting and outsourcing. Connectria wanted to satisfy the needs of Web-hosting customers for multifunctional, high-performance, highly available servers. The challenge was to help Connectria respond to explosive customer growth with a business-smart IT strategy. As a solution Connectria created a data center based on Dell PowerEdge 1850, PowerEdge 2850, PowerEdge 850, and new-generation PowerEdge 1950 and PowerEdge 2950 servers with Intel Xeon processors running a wide variety of applications and operating systems.

whitepaper Intel Virtualization Technology: Hardware Support for Efficient Processor Virtualization2006-08-10 Intel
  The first generation of Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) for IA-32 and Itanium processors provides hardware support that simplifies processor virtualization, enabling reductions in Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) software size and complexity. Resulting VMMs can support a wider range of legacy and future Operating Systems (OSs) on the same physical platform while maintaining high performance. In this paper, the authors provide details of the virtualization challenges posed by IA-32 and Itanium processors; present an overview and furnish details of VT-x (Intel Virtualization Technology for the IA-32 architecture) and VT-i (Intel Virtualization Technology for the Itanium architecture); show how VT-x and VT-i address virtualization challenges; and finally provide examples of usage of the VT-x and VT-i architecture.

whitepaper Performance of the AMD Opteron LS21 for IBM BladeCenter2006-08-01 IBM
  This paper examines the performance of the AMD Opteron LS21 for IBM BladeCenter, or LS21. The analysis includes memory bandwidth and latency using Stream and a proprietary benchmark, floating-point vector performance using High Performance Linpack (HPL) and performance of the SPEC CPU2000 speed and rate benchmarks. The real value proposition of the LS21 is its small form factor, ease of management and low-power consumption, at which the LS21 excels. So the question that the authors endeavored to answer is "Was performance sacrificed in the designing of this blade?" The findings presented in this paper demonstrate that, even with a processor speed limit of 2.6 GHz instead of 2.8 GHz, performance was in no way sacrificed.

whitepaper Floating Point Calculations and the ANSI C, C++, and Fortran Standard2006-08-01 Intel
  High application performance is an important goal of the Intel compilers, even at default optimization levels. A number of optimizations involve transformations including: evaluation of constant expressions at compile time, hoisting invariant expressions out of loops, and changes in the order of evaluation of expressions that are not consistent with a strict interpretation of the ANSI or ISO standards for C, C++, and Fortran. These can result in differences in rounding and small variations in floating point results, which may be more or less accurate than the ANSI-conformant result. The Intel compilers provide command-line options that request the compiler not to perform optimizations that may be inconsistent with strict ANSI standards.
