It scales from a tiny 3-10 user system to a huge 24-CPU machine that is very competitive performance-wise with Sun's biggest 64-CPU monster. Proven scalability from a single processor machine for a few users, (256M memory, 8G DASD) to a 12-way...
The manufacturer has added an AXL300 accelerator card, which enables more than 330 secure socket layer (SSL) transactions per second through a dedicated co-processor. According to Compaq, the additions will enable faster performance for encrypted...
The technique, which won't result in chips larger than those from competitors, sacrifices the ability to perform one task extremely quickly for the ability to do multiple independent tasks simultaneously, David Yen, Sun's executive vice president...
The system was able to perform 151,000 database transactions per minute, according to the scores. That's ahead of a rival 8-Xeon Hewlett-Packard DL760 G2 that clocked in at 115,000, but still behind the 32-Xeon Unisys Orion 230 that racked up 234...
The chip incorporates a dual-CPU architecture, bearing two 225-MIPS CPUs. The processor analyses compressed data for storing, reading and editing, and offers multistandard data processing, including DVD video and digital video broadcasting.
Independent technology analyst Peter Glaskowsky said if it came to restarting production of the old model, Apple might find it hard to quickly get hold of one component, the custom core logic chip that helps shuttle data to and from the iMac's CPU...
