whitepaper Automatic Application-Specific Customization of Multi-Processor Microarchitecture2007-03-08 Washington University in St. Louis
  Reconfigurable logic devices offer new and interesting opportunities for application-specific customization and processor configuration. However, the most compelling optimization problems in this area are NP-hard. This paper customized the microarchitecture of a single processor core for a target application by viewing it as a multi-objective constrained integer nonlinear optimization problem. The results demonstrated the validity, feasibility, and scalability of that approach. Here, they propose extensions to customize the microarchitecture of multiple processor cores.

whitepaper VMware Case Study: Pathology Partners0000-00-00 EMC
  Founded in 1996 to deliver superior pathology diagnostic services for physicians and patients, Pathology Partners serves Gastro-Intestinal (GI) specialists with freestanding endoscopy centers. The company needed six different servers to run its lab system. The company wanted a solution that would not only provide high availability and application uptime, but allow IT to eliminate servers and consolidate hardware for reduced maintenance and total cost of ownership. This was solved by deploying NEC's Express5800/320Lb fault tolerant server, which features 2 Intel Xeon MP 2.4 GHz processors, with a 512KB cache. It also helped consolidate its six servers to a single FT server, with all of its lab applications in a virtual stack.

whitepaper HP White Paper: Dual-Processor Workstation Productivity in MCAD/AEC Environments2007-03-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This white paper describes multi-core, multi-processor computing and the performance advantages of dual-processor, Xeon-based workstations. Dual-processor equipped xw6400 and xw8400 workstations provide better performance in typical MCAD/AEC environments than the single-processor xw4400. Tests have shown performance gains of up to 17% for typical MCAD/AEC application scenarios. Nowadays compute-intensive environments demand more performance.

whitepaper Netra X4200 M2 Server Architecture2007-03-01 Sun Microsystems
  The Netra X4200 M2 server is Sun's first Netra server to incorporate the Second Generation AMD Opteron dual-core processors. Second Generation AMD Opteron processors now support DDR2 memory and come with hardware-assisted AMD Virtualization. In addition, the Second Generation AMD Opteron processors offer a seamless upgrade path to Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors with the same consistent socket design. The Netra X4200 M2 server delivers dramatic performance and flexibility along with space and power efficiency to meet the increasing demands of the network infrastructure. This white paper describes the architectural features and benefits of the Netra X4200 M2 server.

whitepaper Reaping the Benefits of SoC Processors for Video Applications2007-03-01 Texas Instruments
  Today's demanding consumer video applications often require the high performance of System-on-a-Chip (SoC) integration, yet SoC processing engines have created new challenges for system developers. SoCs have traditionally been based on closed architectures, giving developers few options for implementation; however, video applications ranging from consumer communications to multimedia products are becoming increasingly complex, requiring design flexibility for greater customization and advanced feature updates.

whitepaper HP White Paper: Multi-Processor Workstation Productivity in DCC Environments2007-03-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This white paper describes multi-core, multi-processor computing and the performance advantages of multi-core, multi-processor workstations. Dual-processor equipped xw6400 and xw8400 workstations provide better performance in typical Digital Content Creation (DCC) environments than the single-processor xw4400. For typical DCC application scenarios, tests have shown performance gains of up to 65%.Digital content creators in animation, video game development, and post-production know well the challenge of delivering cutting-edge, lifelike graphics, and special effects to increasingly sophisticated audiences. Under pressure to deliver ever more astonishing results, artists and designers look to technology to improve their productivity and the quality of their work.

whitepaper Response Time Analysis of a Multi-Server Processor Sharing Model2007-03-01 University of Tsukuba
  This paper investigates the response time of a multi-server Processor Sharing (PS) model. A multi-server PS model is a PS queue but the number of requests which can be processed simultaneously is limited by a threshold. An arriving request has to wait in the queue if the number of requests exceeds the threshold. Assuming Markovian arrival input of requests and general processing time distribution, they investigate how mean response time is affected by the threshold. Through numerical experiments for various instances, it turns out that the mean response time geometrically converges as the threshold increases.

whitepaper Dual-Processor Workstation Productivity in MCAD/AEC Environments2007-03-01 Hewlett-Packard
  Off late compute-intensive environments demand more performance. While many factors influence system performance, the heart of a workstation is its Central Processing Unit (CPU) or processor. This white paper describes multi-core, multi-processor computing and the performance advantages of dual-processor, Xeon-based workstations. Dual-processor equipped xw6400 and xw8400 workstations provide better performance in typical MCAD/AEC environments than the single-processor xw4400. Tests have shown performance gains of up to 17% for typical MCAD/AEC application scenarios.
