These same companies are also using a combination of Windows and Linux on the IA-32 platform and leading software products from Oracle, SAP and other companies to power their businesses better, faster and more affordably"... And that's at the inquirer here _____________________________________________ 01/19/04 - Opteron Selected by DaimlerChrysler AMD today announced that DaimlerChrysler AG has implemented its new AMD Opteron processor-based cluster in the Mercedes-Benz Technology Center (MTC) in Germany. Based on AMD64 technology, the new cluster is the second AMD processor-based cluster installed by DaimlerChrysler in the last three years. The new cluster will utilize several hundred AMD Opteron processors and will be used in one of the most important testing areas for DaimlerChrysler: the crash-simulation division, where performance, stability and software compatibility are crucial elements.

Also, applications which require fast access to system memory (such as web/database servers) will perform better on the Opteron. Even with a 1GHz clock speed disadvantage, the Opteron manages to give Intel’s top Xeon a run for its money in nearly every benchmark."

Each processor will have access to 1GB of memory and there will be four I/O nodes that will control access to 11TB of disk storage through the PolyServe filesystem. The cluster will also be equipped with Myrinet 2000 - a very high speed interconnect (>400MB/sec) for interprocess communication as described in the page located here _____________________________________________ 01/15/04 - PC sales up 12 percent in quarter "Worldwide personal computer sales grew 12 percent in the fourth quarter, lifting growth for the year to 10.9 percent, according to market research firm Gartner Inc. Gartner reported Wednesday that sales for the October-December period were 48.4 million and 168.9 million for the year, based on preliminary data".

Known as Execution Protection, the feature detects an attacker's attempt to overflow a buffer -- a temporary holding place for data in a processor -- with more data than that buffer can hold. This results in data leaking to other buffers on a processor or the corruption of any data within that buffer".

". At CNET Today!" _____________________________________________ 01/13/04 - AMD 2004 CPU Roadmap Update "The new Socket-939 platform will bring dual channel support to the entire line of 64-bit AMD processors, and it will also take away half the cache from all but the FX processors. Although the Socket-754 3700+ features a full 1MB L2 cache, the Socket-939 version will not be given more than 512KB. What's interesting is that the two processors carry the same 3700+ model number, running at the same 2.4GHz, while the Socket-754 version features twice the cache. ".
