- IBM plans new top-end Xeon servers this yearWarningNote that multi-core is not the same as multi-processor. Professional developers are coding for multi-processor and multi-core. Hence I see this top-end Xeon as kind of the last of a failed experiment where faster and faster single processors were expected. Today we get...

- HP White Paper: Multi-Processor Workstation Productivity in DCC Environments
- This white paper describes multi-core, multi-processor computing and the performance advantages of multi-core, multi-processor workstations. Dual-processor equipped xw6400 and xw8400 workstations provide better performance in typical Digital Content Creation DCC environments than the single-processor xw4400. For typical DCC application scenarios, tests have shown performance gains of up to 65%.Digital content...

- Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors
- Heterogeneous or asymmetric chip multiprocessors present unique opportunities for improving system throughput, reducing processor power, and mitigating Amdahl's law. On-chip heterogeneity allows the processor to better match execution resources to each application's needs and to address a much wider spectrum of system loads - from low to high thread parallelism...

- SpliceNP: A TCP Splicer Using a Network Processor
- TCP Splicing can be used in content-aware switches to tremendously reduce overall request latency. In order to reduce the processing latency further, this paper proposes to offload the protocol processing onto network processors NPs. An NP consists of a multithreaded multiprocessor architecture that can provide high throughput for packet processing...
