The Untold Story of Marvell's Processor Development

This paper discloses the eight-year effort that preceded the recent launch of Marvell's Sheeva processors, explaining how the company became a leading CPU supplier without announcing a single processor product. The paper also examines these new processors and their applicability to communications, printers, storage, consumer, and mobile applications, and provides...

Power Fractal 1.4.1 (Mac)

A numerically-intensive parallel graphics application that computes a Mandelbrot-like fractal and displays processor performance statistics. This app uses the Velocity Engine, a.k.a. AltiVec, and multiple processors MP for its computations and uses UCLA AppleSeed's MacMPI_X library for communication between parallel processors. To run it on a Mac cluster, use Pooch....

ASEBA, an Event-Based Middleware for Distributed Robot Control

Computing infrastructures of mobile robots have grown in complexity in the last decades; They have evolved from single processor systems to networks of microcontrollers communicating through a shared bus. This has induced additional architectural constraints that do not fit well with the traditional polling-based sensors and actuators control. To address...

Managing CPU-Intensive Work on Uniprocessor LPARs

Uniprocessor systems may exist as either an LPAR on a single-engine physical processor or as a "Small LPAR" on a larger n-way physical processor. For this discussion, a "Small LPAR" is one that is guaranteed less than 50% of an engine based on its assigned weight when the processor runs...

Intel seeks new 'microserver' standard

Why bother with a new standard?What Intel needs to do is use the pre-existing motherboard form factors like Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Why can't they just design a board in the Mini-ITX form factor for a single-socket Xeon 3400-series processor with ECC RAM and dual-GBe ports with the standard fare...

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310

How much of a difference does a single-core versus dual-core ultralow-voltage processor make on a thin-and-light these days? You may not be paying attention under the hood--and that's not your fault, because it's hard to notice the differences based on processor name and Intel sticker-logos--but you should know that it...

Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists

A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore's Law, we'll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years. The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today's manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink...
