whitepaper Introducing Windows Server x64 on IBM eServer xSeries Servers2005-12-01 01:00:02
  This paper introduces Windows Server 2003, x64 Edition, the 64-bit processors from Intel and AMD that support it, and the xSeries servers on which the operating system runs. It describes the concepts of 64-bit computing and the technology behind the processors. This paper introduces the xSeries product line that includes the Intel EM64T processor. It also describes how the new Windows operating system is different from its 32-bit counterpart and discusses the migration options that are available to customers and developers.   
whitepaper Performance Scalability of Data-Mining Workloads in Bioinformatics2006-01-04 01:01:52
  The bioinformatics workloads studied in this paper are representative of general-purpose data-mining techniques. They use BNs, SVMs, and DP, among other methods. They are data parallel workloads with large data sets and are very compute intensive. Data mining is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large data bases. Emerging data mining applications are important factors to drive the architecture of future microprocessors. This paper analyzes the performance scalability on parallel architectures of such applications to understand how to best architect the next generation of microprocessors that will have many CPU cores on chip.   
whitepaper FPGAs for High-Performance DSP Applications2005-07-21 03:00:01
  This white paper compares the performance of DSP applications in Altera FPGAs with popular DSP processors as well as competitive FPGA offerings. With higher performance, you can easily time-division-multiplex your DSP design to increase the number of processing channels, reducing the overall cost of your system. The performance comparisons in this white paper use DSP IP benchmarks and application level benchmarks.   
whitepaper Performance of Voltaire InfiniBand in IBM 64-Bit Commodity HPC Clusters2005-09-15 03:00:04
  In this paper, the performance of Voltaire InfiniBand using 100 MHz PCI-X, 133 MHz PCI-X and PCI-Express slots has been examined. In this experimentation it is found that InfiniBand exhibits high throughput (1,735 MB/s) and low latency (4 microseconds) when used with PCI-Express. With 133 MHz PCI-X it also shows low latency (5 microseconds) and high bandwidth (788 MB/s), considering the limitations of its slot. InfiniBand shows consistent performance over a range of message sizes.   
whitepaper Configuring DDR2 Memory on Dell Platforms Based on the Intel E7520 and E7525 Chip Sets2005-09-15 03:00:04
  In the summer of 2004, Dell introduced new dual-processor Power- Edge servers and Dell Precision workstations equipped with Intel Xeon processors with Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). The workstations are based on the Intel E7525 chip set, formerly code-named "Tumwater," and most of the servers are based on the Intel E7520 chip set, formerly code-named "Lindenhurst." The E7520 and E7525 chip sets have flexible DDR2 memory subsystem implementation options. Dell worked closely with Intel to design server and workstation platforms that provide flexible DDR2 memory configuration options that meet a variety of customer requirements. This white paper provides guidance on how to configure Dell PowerEdge and Dell Precision systems based on the E7520 and E7525 chip sets.   
whitepaper Scalability and Performance of HP ProLiant BL35p Server Blades With AMD Opteron Model 250 (2.4 GHz/1 MB) Processors in an HP SBC Environment2005-08-04 03:00:01
  The new HP ProLiant BL35p two-way server blade delivers uncompromising manageability, maximum computing density, and breakthrough power efficiencies to the high-performance data center. Offering customers a modular, space-saving design, the HP ProLiant BL35p server blade consumes less power, enabling denser rack architectures. The HP ProLiant BL35p shares the same infrastructure components as all BL p-Class server blades, allowing customers to enjoy additional benefits from the HP BladeSystem p-Class rack-centralized power sub-system and network interconnect options. A two-way HP ProLiant BL35p server blade with 2.4 GHz/1 MB processors can provide optimal support for up to 123 users1 in an HP SBC environment.   
whitepaper Platform 2015 Software: Enabling Innovation in Parallelism for the Next Decade2006-12-23 01:00:24 Intel
  Intel's microprocessor architectures over the next decade as envisioned in Platform 2015 will incorporate massive parallelism as they evolve to keep pace with expanding application demands. Using Chip-level MultiProcessing (CMP), these architectures will deliver superb performance scaling while improving critical power and heat issues. Along with advancing the performance and capabilities of its platform hardware, Intel is accelerating its software development and industry-enabling activities, aimed at empowering software vendors to exploit its hardware advances and develop a wide range of innovative applications. Data mining, a key enabling technology for the coming "Era of tera," provides an example of capabilities that have hitherto been available primarily on high-performance computers but will become relevant to - and highly beneficial for - ordinary consumers.   
whitepaper Platform 2015: Intel Processor and Platform Evolution for the Next Decade2006-12-23 01:00:24 Intel
  Without a doubt, computing has made great strides in recent years. But as much as it has advanced in the last ten years, in the coming decade, the emergence and migration of new workloads and usage models to mainstream computing will put enormous demands on future computing platforms: demands for much higher performance, for much lower power density and for greatly expanded functionality. This paper has outlined an ambitious vision which, in some respects, is a wide departure from present-day processors and platforms.   
whitepaper AMD Multi-Core White Paper2005-08-04 03:00:01 Advanced Micro Devices
  Multi-core processors represent a major evolution in computing technology. This important development is coming at a time when businesses and consumers are beginning to require the benefits offered by these processors due to the exponential growth of digital data and the globalization of the Internet. Multi-core processors will eventually become the pervasive computing model because they offer performance and productivity benefits beyond the capabilities of today's single-core processors.   
whitepaper Endianness White Paper2005-11-29 01:00:03 Intel
  Endianness is the format to how multi-byte data is stored in computer memory. It describes the location of the most significant byte (MSB) and least significant byte (LSB) of an address in memory. Endianness is dictated by the CPU architecture implementation of the system. The operating system does not dictate the endian model implemented, but rather the endian model of the CPU architecture dictates how the operating system is implemented. This paper describes software considerations related to microprocessor Endian architecture and discusses guidelines for developing Endian-neutral code.
