RAMP-White: An FPGA-Based Coherent Shared Memory Parallel Computer Emulator

Overview RAMP-White is an FPGA-based coherent shared memory research platform. It is one of the three initial prototypes being developed by the RAMP (Research Accelerator for Multiple Processors) group. In the spirit of the RAMP project, RAMP-White has been architected to emphasize flexibility over raw performance. This paper describes the architecture of RAMP-White. RAMP-White is designed to provide a configurable coherent shared memory research platform while also demonstrating how large systems can be assembled using RAMP modules. The platform is sufficiently flexible to handle different coherency protocols, memory hierarchies and even processor ISAs and implementations.

IBM launches "killer commodity system"

That system, however, uses 64-bit processors that more gracefully handle large amounts of memory. An x440 with 16 processors and 8GB of memory costs $81,000, said Deep Advani, vice president of IBM's xSeries servers.

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.
