whitepaper Migrating From UNIX/RISC to Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel Processor-Based Servers: Driving Higher Value Deep Into the Data Center2009-07-01 Intel
  Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on Intel processor-based servers is helping companies cut TCO by up to 50 percent and more versus comparable UNIX/RISC solutions, while providing a better foundation for growth. This white paper outlines the key benefits of migration and provides a step-by-step guide to planning and conducting a strategic and successful transition.

whitepaper Failover of Oracle Database Between HP 9000 (PA-RISC) Servers and HP Integrity (IPF) Servers Under HP-UX 11i2009-07-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  HP's Intel Itanium-based Integrity architecture was designed to employ the same data format as PA-RISC-based HP 9000 architecture, which gives rise to all manner of cross-architectural scenarios such as simple database migration from the HP 9000 to HP Integrity (or the reverse), and failover (Disaster-Recovery) configurations where HP 9000 systems act as a standby for HP Integrity production systems (or vice-versa).

whitepaper Batch Processing Tasks Are 40 Percent Faster With Dell PowerEdge Servers2009-05-01 Intel
  DataVision was seeking an alternative hardware solution to recommend to its banking clients, which would offer high performance and support in remote areas without requiring a compromise on cost. The company ran performance tests on Dell PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon 7400 series processor technology and found a significant improvement in performance over RISC-based servers favored by banks. As a result Dell PowerEdge servers complete batch processing tasks 40 percent faster than RISC-based servers.

whitepaper Staff Cost Savings Models to Justify RISC Migration2009-04-08 Ziff Davis Enterprise Holdings
  In the past, RISC-based servers delivered performance and memory advantages that made them the workhorses of corporate computing. And even though the systems used expensive, proprietary components and were expensive to operate, many organizations ran their critical business applications - including database, ERP, CRM, DNS server, and others - on RISC systems. As a result, fewer new servers are needed to do the jobs of older servers. For example, when Principled Technologies migrated an Oracle database application from a Sun Fire V440 with four Sun Ultra Sparc IIIi processors to a Dell PowerEdge R900 with four Intel Xeon E7450 processors, the Dell system ran over 13 times faster than the older system.

whitepaper When Good Instructions Go Bad: Generalizing Return-Oriented Programming to RISC2008-10-31 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper reconsiders the threat posed by Shacham's "Return-oriented programming" - a technique by which OX-style hardware protections are evaded via carefully crafted stack frames that divert control flow into the middle of existing variable-length x86 instructions - creating short new instructions streams that then return. The paper believes this attack is both more general and a greater threat than the author appreciated. In fact, the vulnerability is not limited to the x86 architecture or any particular operating system, is readily exploitable, and bypasses an entire category of malware protections. This paper demonstrates general return-oriented programming on the SPARC, a fixed instruction length RISC architecture with structured control flow.

whitepaper IBM Power Systems - Cost-effective Linux database serving2008-05-16 IBM
  Maintaining data security, performance, availability and recoverability is a growing challenge. The IBM Power platform offers cost-effective performance, scalability and key functional capabilities to support Linux-based database serving. It also simplifies virtualization, making it easier to reduce the number of physical servers required.

This International Technology Group (ITG) report shows the advantages of the IBM Power platform for Linux database-serving in mid-sized companies.

whitepaper RISC Processor Based Speech Codec Implementation for Emerging Mobile Multimedia Messaging Solutions2008-01-01 Aricent
  Mobile Multimedia Messaging (MMS) promises to provide a richer and versatile experience to the user along with new revenue streams for mobile service operators. MMS allows a full content range including images, audio, video and text in any combination. It delivers a location independent, total communication experience to the mobile customer. As proved by the success of Short Message Service (SMS) in generating revenue MMS applications would be the essential drivers of continuous growth in new services beyond voice. This paper describes the challenges and techniques of implementing speech codecs on RISC processors. The specific speech codec implemented was GSM-AMR and the processor used was ARM9TDMI.

whitepaper A Super Scalar Sort Algorithm for RISC Processors2007-11-07 IBM
  The compare and branch sequences required in a traditional sort algorithm can not efficiently exploit multiple execution units present in currently available high performance RISC processors. This is because of the long latency of the compare instructions and the sequential algorithm used in sorting. With the increased level of integration on a chip, this trend is expected to continue. The paper has developed new sort algorithms which eliminate almost all the compares, provide functional parallelism which can be exploited by multiple execution units, significantly reduce the number of passes through keys, and improve data locality. These new algorithms outperform traditional sort algorithms by a large factor.

whitepaper Stable, Highly Available Infrastructure Supports Transaction-Intensive Oracle Database0000-00-00 Unisys
  Named the "World's best-performing stock exchange" in 2002, the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) manages trading in 685 listed companies with a capitalization of more than $25 billion. The Karachi Stock Exchange's main business objective was to synchronize its database with its newly developed trading application, which can match more than 400 trades per second. Having already deployed an ES7000 server-based solution-the first step in moving from a UNIX/RISC platform to an open architecture based on a Microsoft Windows and Intel platform-the company sought to achieve even greater performance for its increasing number of concurrent users. The Karachi Stock Exchange is using Unisys ES7000 64-bit technology to run its database application based on Oracle in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating environment.

whitepaper Migrating From RISC/UNIX: It's Time to Choose Linux2007-05-01 Novell
  For the past decade and more, RISC/UNIX has established a history of solid reliability in the data center. It typically runs mission-critical applications, including back-end databases, and has a reputation for good performance, high reliability, proven scalability and trustworthy security. But these benefits come at a high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). UNIX generally requires expensive proprietary software and hardware as well as budget-draining annual maintenance costs. These expenses are a key factor in recent, widespread migrations to other platforms, specifically Linux.
