Developing and Tuning Applications on UltraSPARC T1 Chip Multithreading Systems

Overview Chip multi-threading processor technology is key to the approach of maximizing overall workload throughput rather than the speed of a single thread of execution. CMT technology, like that available in the UltraSPARC T1 processor, provides a new thread-rich environment that drives application throughput and processor resource utilization while effectively masking memory access latencies. This new processor design provides multiple physical-instruction execution pipelines and several active thread contexts per pipeline. Akin to symmetric multiprocessing on a chip, UltraSPARC T1 processors are designed so that applications that currently scale well on SMP machines are likely to scale well in UltraSPARC T1 processor-based environments. Simple modifications, including those discussed in this paper, often result in even greater scalability.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.

IBM Information Server Change Data Capture

In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
