Sizing up the Super Heavyweights
|
Tuesday October 12 2004 @ 08:11AM EDT views: 190
RealWorldTech: For more than 40 years, competition in the computer industry has been characterized as a game of leapfrog. Major new systems take years to conceive, design, verify and put into production, while at the same time the basic electronic technology underlying computers has improved in performance and dropped in cost exponentially. Because the product cycles of different vendors are often out of phase, it is common for the performance lead to exchange hands whenever new systems are introduced. This was the case in mid-2003 when Intel introduced the Madison 6M version of the Itanium 2 processor, which quickly took the lead in most commercial and technical computing. The wheel turned quite convincingly a year later when IBM introduced its POWER5 processor. What was originally represented as basically a POWER4+ augmented with simultaneous multithreading (SMT) capabilities turned out to be effectively a top to bottom redesign with substantial improvements in both the processor and system level architecture.

POWER5+ versus Intel Montecito - The Niche Battle
|
Monday October 04 2004 @ 11:49AM EDT views: 276
The Inquirer: AS THE NERDS and related gangs descended on yet another IDF earlier this month, there would have been a few among them interested in the Itanium futures - not too many probably, looking at the platform's popularity (or lack of it) right now. While 'revolutionary' stuff like Alpha-inspired Tukwilla is still beyond the horizon in far-future 2007 or beyond, the near-term promises to restore Itanium's performance and cost competitiveness rests with the Montecito and its related cousins, due next year.

Linux and the AMD64
|
Sunday October 03 2004 @ 10:17PM EDT views: 236
Linux Magazine: Linux was created on the first 32-bit CPU in the x86 CPU family, the 80386. Since then, computing has evolved substantially, and while 32-bit computing remains adequate for many purposes, its days are nearing an end. Increasing demand for RAM will soon dictate a shift to 64-bit architectures.
