Energy / Power measurement wish list
By Taylor Kidd (Intel) (10 posts) on September 5, 2008 at 8:34 am

I got such a good response from my previous post, that I decided to pose another question to my select and invisible audience. If you could come up with a wish list, what power related measurements would you like to get from the (computer) platform, as well as from the processor itself? Now, let's be a little [...]

IDF Concurrency panel follow up -- performance fundamentals matter
By Michael Wrinn (Intel) (6 posts) on August 29, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Our IDF panel (officially, the Academic Community Multi-core Programming Roundable) brought some lively points of view, and at least one recurrent theme. First, the points of view: Dan Garcia gave a quick overview of the UC Berkeley approach; they really *do* get the new kids coding a version of MapReduce - in the first school term. [...]

Vertical Applications of a SOA "soft appliance"
By Joseph Natoli (Intel) (11 posts) on August 29, 2008 at 8:13 am
Comments (2)
So far I have been posting the last week or so about how to apply a SOA "soft appliance" to overall scenarios like Federated SOA, SaaS, and Mainframe deployments. XML performance acceleration, in-line / on-the-wire security processing, and manageability optimization also has direct application to specific vertical markets like healthcare, financial services, telecommunications and manufacturing. We [...]

Intel® Summary Statistics Library: how to detect outliers in datasets?
By Dmitry Kabaev (Intel) (4 posts) on August 29, 2008 at 4:29 am
Comments (0)
Earlier I computed various statistical estimates like mean or variance-covariance matrix using Intel® Summary Statistics Library. In those cases I knew for sure that my datasets did not contain “bad” observations (points which do not belong to the distribution which I observed) or outliers. However, in some cases we need to deal with datasets which [...]
