whitepaper Processor Power Management Features and Process Scheduler: Do We Need to Tie Them Together?2007-08-15 Intel
  Power savings is a key focus area in today's microprocessors, with almost all latest microprocessors providing wide variety of power saving features. Processor P-state is the capability of running the processor at different voltage and/or frequency levels. Processor C-state is the processor capability to go into various low power idle states (with varying wakeup latency). Linux kernel policies like cpufreq-ondemand governor and cpuidle-menu governor make effective use of these processor power management features, giving power savings to the end user. This paper looks at various inter-relations between Linux power management features and process scheduler. In particular, it covers various issues and mechanisms for incorporating power management related information in process scheduler.

whitepaper The Benefits of Using HP Integrity Servers to Consolidate HP 9000 Servers2007-08-01 TechWise Research
  HP has been shipping HP 9000 servers with PA-RISC microprocessors since about 1990. Since that time, nearly 100 different models of servers have been introduced ranging from single-CPU entry-level machines to enterprise-class Superdome models that support 128 cores. Today, thousands of companies worldwide rely on HP 9000 servers and the HP-UX operating system as key components of their IT infrastructure. Several years ago HP made a strategic decision to consolidate its high performance server product line by replacing servers based on PA-RISC and Alpha chips with HP Integrity servers (which are based on Intel's Itanium processor). HP's current plans are to continue selling HP 9000 systems until at least December 2008.

whitepaper Using Intel VPro Processor Technology in 802.1x Networks2007-08-01 Intel
  PCs based on Intel vPro processor technology include Intel AMT, which provides OOB management capabilities. Built-in 802.1x support is included in Intel AMT version 2.5 for laptops and is expected in Intel AMT version 3.0 for desktop PCs. This support enables enterprises to perform remote remediation of client PCs in 802.1x networks, even when the client OS is down. They have developed a solution that enables the same OOB remediation in 802.1x networks with PCs based on current Intel vPro processor technology that includes Intel AMT version 2.0. Because these PCs typically remain in service for three years or more, expect that this solution will play a useful role.

whitepaper The Sun Blade 6000 Modular System: Open Modular Architecture With a Choice of Sun SPARC , Intel Xeon , and AMD Opteron Platforms2007-06-01 Sun Microsystems
  The Participation Age is driving new demands that are focused squarely on capabilities of the datacenter. Web services and rapidly escalating Internet use are driving competitive organizations to lead with innovative new services and scalable, dynamic infrastructure. High Performance Computing (HPC) is constantly finding new application in both science and industry, fostering new demands for performance and density. Agility is paramount, and organizations must be able to respond quickly to unpredictable needs for capacity - adding compute power or growing services on demand. At the same time, most datacenters are rapidly running out of space, power, and cooling even as energy costs continue to rise.

whitepaper Optimizing Oracle's Siebel Applications for the Sun Platform, Solaris 10 OS, and UltraSPARC T1 Processor2007-04-01 Sun Microsystems
  This paper discusses the performance optimization of a complete Siebel Enterprise solution on the Sun platform using UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC IV+ processor based servers. Also presented in detail is information on tuning the Solaris Operating System (OS) tuning, Siebel 7.7 tuning, Oracle Database 10g server tuning, Sun storage tuning and Sun Java System Web Server tuning. Additionally, unique features of the Solaris 10 OS that reduce risk while helping improve the performance and stability of Siebel applications are discussed. All of the techniques discussed here are lessons learned from a series of performance tuning studies, which were conducted under the auspices of the Siebel Platform Sizing and Performance Program (PSPP).
