Performance Analysis and Tracing of Technical and Java Applications on the Itanium 2 Processor

Overview This paper presents a detailed workload characterization of important technical and Java applications used in the industry, on the Itanium2 processor. This paper presents a detailed performance study of four major classes of technical applications: crash finite element analysis (LS-Dyna3D), structural analysis (Nastran), computational fluid dynamics (Star-CD), and other technical applications (GUPS). The performance of technical applications is compared to a commercial Java server benchmark (SPECjbb2000). The data indicate that the average IPC ratio of technical applications to that of the commercial Java application is from 1.23 to 2.36 (1.74 on average). This paper analyzes the time varying behavior of the applications and collect instruction traces at both the kernel and user levels of representative sections of the code.

HP announces Itanium server upgrades

The improvement came through use of the 2.6 Linux kernel, which is reportedly scheduled for use in Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the first quarter of 2005. HP also announced version 3 of its HP-UX Workload Manager for automatically juggling...

BigTux project shows Linux scaling to 64 processors

Running three different benchmarks on a standard Linux distribution based on the 2.6 kernel, the Superdome showed linear improvements for kernel compiling, memory bandwidth, and the HPL common supercomputer benchmark.

Torvalds issues new Linux kernel

Linus Torvalds released a new Linux kernel on Monday that supports features in IBM's Cell processor, includes Oracle software for clustered databases and improves how the open source operating system runs on multiprocessor systems.

IT's not broken but still needs fixing

It is against this less glamorous backdrop that most companies in the real world seek to benchmark themselves in terms of improvement, rather than executing Indiana Jones' style escapes from corporate doom.

Virtualisation - a CIO's best friend?

The chip has been engineered so under-utilised sections of the core can be powered down to optimise power efficiency for the workload that's being run on the server at that time, explained Meyer. Speaking at the launch of AMD's new Opteron quad...

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.
