An Assessment of Leadership Performance With POWER6 Processors and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 2008-01-31 IBM

Compute-intensive performance is increasingly required for today's high-performance environments. The IBM System p 570 with POWER6 processors provides leadership performance and demonstrates excellent scalability moving from one node to four nodes in this environment while providing linear SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing) scaling and growth for workloads similar to the metrics used here. This paper highlights the exceptional performance on IBM's POWER6 processor-based systems running with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.1 operating system, based on recently audited published SPEC CPU2006 and SPECjbb2005 results, including single-system LINPACK metrics on System p 570 4-core, 8-core and 16-core systems. With Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) support turned on, Linux is easily able to provide effective scheduling support of the 32 processor threads seen on the 16-core 570 system.

This Might Be the Last Place You'd Expect to Find an Intel Processor 2008-01-01 Intel

Finding a processing platform that runs so efficiently has been challenging for developers like GD Canada. Proprietary technology can offer the performance and power efficiency needed, but such solutions are often vendor-specific, take a very long time to develop and deploy, and can be quite costly to maintain, let alone upgrade. Intel really attacked the thermal output and power consumption problem when they came out with the Intel Pentium M processor and associated chipsets. Shortly after Intel launched the Intel Pentium M processor, the U.S. Army announced the Future Combat System (FCS) program, a move to standardize the Army's entire vehicle computing infrastructure on a common product.

Intel Centrino With VPro Technology and Intel Core2 Processor With VPro Technology 2007-12-01 Intel

Intel Centrino with vPro technology-based notebooks and Intel Core2 processor with vPro technology-based desktop PCs1 deliver built-in security and remote management capabilities to meet critical business challenges. IT administrators can now quickly identify and contain more security threats, take more accurate asset and hardware/software inventories remotely, resolve more software and OS problems faster without leaving the service center, and accurately diagnose hardware problems down-the-wire. IT organizations can now spend less time on routine tasks, and can focus resources where they are most needed for better security and manageability of both notebook and desktop PCs.

Introducing the 45nm Next-Generation Intel Core Microarchitecture 2007-11-01 Intel

In the second half of 2007, Intel started producing of the next-generation Intel Core2 processor family codenamed "Penryn." The Penryn processor family is based on industry-leading 45-nanometer (nm) High-k metal gate silicon technology and latest microarchitecture enhancements. This next evolution in Intel Core microarchitecture builds on the tremendous success of revolutionary microarchitecture and marks the next step in Intel's rapid cadence for delivering a new process technology with enhanced microarchitecture or an entirely new microarchitecture every year.

System Power Management Support in the IBM POWER6 Microprocessor 2007-11-01 IBM

The IBM POWER6 microprocessor chip supports advanced, dynamic power management solutions for managing not just the chip but the entire server. The design facilitates a programmable power management solution for greater flexibility and integration into system- and data-center-wide management solutions. The design of the POWER6 microprocessor provides real-time access to detailed and accurate information on power, temperature, and performance. Together, the sensing, actuation, and management support available in the POWER6 processor, known as the EnergyScalee architecture, enables higher performance, greater energy efficiency, and new power management capabilities such as power and thermal capping and power savings with explicit performance control. This paper provides an overview of the innovative design of the POWER6 processor that enables these advanced, dynamic system power management solutions.

IBM POWER6 Microprocessor Physical Design and Design Methodology 2007-11-01 IBM

The IBM POWER6e microprocessor is a 790 million-transistor chip that runs at a clock frequency of greater than 4 GHz. The complexity and size of the POWER6 microprocessor, together with its high operating frequency, present a number of significant challenges. This paper describes the physical design and design methodology of the POWER6 processor. Emphasis is placed on aspects of the design methodology, technology, clock distribution, integration, chip analysis, power and performance, Random Logic Macro (RLM), and design data management processes that enabled the design to be completed and the project goals to be met.
