whitepaper Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series: An Intelligent Approach to IT Challenges2009-03-25 Intel
  In many organizations, IT infrastructure has begun to constrain business efficiency and growth. For the past decade, IT has rapidly added low-cost hardware to accommodate business growth. But with data centers now stretched to capacity in terms of power, cooling, and floor space, IT infrastructure is actually limiting IT from investing in innovation. IDC estimates that for every dollar IT spends on hardware to support new users and applications, they spend another 50 cents on power and cooling for existing hardware.

Read this paper to see why, with up to 9x the performance compared to installed single-core servers, up to 50 percent lower server idle power compared to the previous generation, and unique virtualization capabilities, Intel Microarchitecture Nehalem lets you deliver more business results from every clock cycle, every IT man-hour, every watt, and every inch of data center space. Learn how the lower TCO and groundbreaking performance of the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 series offers the opportunity to transform the competitiveness of your business and the economics of your data center.

whitepaper An Introduction to the Intel QuickPath Interconnect2009-01-01 Intel
  With its high-bandwidth, low-latency characteristics, the Intel QuickPath Interconnect advances the processor bus evolution, unlocking the potential of next-generation microprocessors. The 25.6 GB/s of low-latency bandwidth provides the basic fabric required for distributed shared memory architectures. The inline CRC codes provide more error coverage with less overhead than serial CRC approaches. Features such as lane reversal, polarity reversal, clock fail-over, and self-healing links ease design of highly reliable and available products. The two-hop, source snoop behavior with cache line forwarding offers the shortest request completion in mainstream systems, while the home snoop behavior allows for optimizing highly scalable servers.

whitepaper Improvements in the Intel Core2 Penryn Processor Family Architecture and Microarchitecture2008-10-01 Intel
  Intels Corporation continuously seeks to improve the performance of each Intel Architecture microprocessor generation through architectural initiatives as well as process and circuit improvements. The predecessor to the Penryn family of processors, the 65nm Intel Core microarchitecture, codename Merom, led the competition in performance. The paper explains how in the Penryn family of processors, the divide instructions are updated from Radix-4 to Radix-16. To minimize the hardware investment, integer divides are handled as floating point divides, so conversion techniques between integer and floating point are also discussed.

whitepaper Save Money on Mainframe Hardware and Software: Five Simple Steps to Start Managing MIPS2008-09-01 CompuWare
  Better management of MIPS consumption is one of the most overlooked opportunities for reducing mainframe hardware and software costs. MIPS usage is growing faster than both business growth and IT budget growth, and this trend is likely to become even more pronounced. One industry analyst, Ovum, estimates that "Mainframe MIPS growth is averaging around 20 percent per year and large mainframe-centric enterprises have been consistently averaging 35 percent-plus MIPS growth." This is substantial, as industry analysts estimate that the addition of one MIPS can cost between $4,000 and $15,000. Just as with any other outlay, the cost of MIPS can be controlled. This paper will detail how to control and manage MIPS usage by employing a systematic, repeatable approach that uses powerful technology and a proven process and expertise.

whitepaper Installing Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 on UEFI Systems2008-07-25 Microsoft
  Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 support Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) on Intel Itanium-based and x64-based platforms. This paper provides guidelines for system manufacturers and information technology (IT) administrators to prepare and install Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista SP1 on UEFI-based computers by using Windows Setup or the deployment tools in the Windows OEM Pre-installation Kit (OPK) or the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).

whitepaper Design of a Data Recovery Block for Communications Over Power Distribution Networks of Microprocessors2008-06-18 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper proposed the use of Power Distribution Network (PDN) of a microprocessor for ubiquitous access of internal nodes for test/debug and showed the suitability of impulse Ultra-WideBand (UWB) communications for the purpose. This paper presents design of a data recovery block to recover data from UWB impulses superposed on a power line of a microprocessor. Considerations for data recovery block design based upon measured PDN characteristics have been discussed. The proposed circuit was implemented in TSMC 0.18 um CMOS process, and simulations show that it consumes 4.42 mW when operating from a 1.8V supply and at a pulse repetition rate of 200 MHz.

whitepaper Oracle e-Business Suite Release 12 Upgrade and Platform Migration Guide: Tru64 UNIX to HP-UX Integrity2008-06-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 fully supports HP 9000 (PA-RISC) and HP Integrity (Intel Itanium) systems running HP-UX 11i. However, E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2 will be the final release for Tru64 UNIX on HP Alpha systems. For HP Tru64 customers to take advantage of the new features of E-Business Suite Release 12, they need to migrate to HP-UX 11i and upgrade their E-Business Suite Release 11i to Release 12. This paper is a guide for HP Tru64 customers who want to perform a platform migration to HP Integrity servers running HP-UX and upgrade to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.
