In the ongoing quest for faster access to data, Diablo Technologies has taken what could be a significant next step.
Diablo’s Memory Channel Storage (MCS) architecture, expected to show up in servers shipping later this year, allows flash storage components to plug into the super-fast channel now used to connect CPUs with memory. That will slash data-access delays even more than current flash caching products that use the PCI Express bus, according to Kevin Wagner, Diablo’s vice president of marketing.
The speed gains could be dramatic, according to Diablo, helping to give applications such as databases, big data analytics and virtual desktops much faster access to the data they need most. Diablo estimates that MCS can reduce latencies by more than 85 percent compared with PCI Express SSDs (solid-state disks). Alternatively, the flash components could be used as memory, making it affordable to equip servers terabytes of memory, Wagner said.
Other than on-chip cache, the memory channel is the fastest route to a CPU, Wagner said. Not only do bits fly faster over this link, there are also no bottlenecks under heavy use. The connection is designed to be used by many DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) in parallel, so each component doesn’t have to relinquish the bus for another one to use it. That saves time, as well as CPU cycles that would otherwise be used managing the bus, Wagner said.

I’m looking for getting CPU cores information of Sun machines (like: SunFire V880, Fujitsu SPARC T5120, …) via SNMP, unfortunately i couldn’t find the proper OID for that. Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks,
Canonical esperae dar un impulso a la carrera de super-teléfono con 32.000.000 dólares campaña crowdfunding audaz.
Patrocinador comercial de Ubuntu es el objetivo de recaudar fondos para el desarrollo y la producción de un nuevo Ubuntu-marca móvil llamado #UbuntuEdge durante los próximos 30 días.
Ubuntu Edge será más que “sólo” un teléfono inteligente – que va a ser un ‘super-teléfono, lo suficientemente potente como para hacer doble como un PC tradicional cuando está conectado a un monitor externo. Esto, dicen Canonical, hará que sea “el primer dispositivo verdaderamente convergente del mundo ‘.
Pero primero $ 32 millones tiene que deberán reunirse en los próximos 30 días. Si se cumple este objetivo los teléfonos Ubuntu Edge se producirán en una edición limitada de producción de 40.000 e hizo disponible en mayo de 2014.
Especificaciones de Ubuntu Edge
Ubuntu Edge no habrá ningún ol ‘run-of-the-mill móvil. Canonical están elaborando un dispositivo de comunicación que es de alta costura, quieren fuera de Apple.
Las normas provisionales para ello cuenta con componentes de gama alta, algunos casi nunca se usan en los móviles de los consumidores.
Sabio OS Ubuntu Edge, tal vez lo más sorprendente que se arranque dual Ubuntu Touch y Android. Será capaz de alimentar una experiencia de escritorio Ubuntu completa en un monitor externo.
Video Promocional
La mayor campaña promocional de todos los tiempos
El proyecto, en vivo por IndieGoGo, es el único mayor campaña de crowdfunding en la historia.
El Pebble smartwatch – hasta la fecha el más exitoso recaudador de fondos – tiene más de $ 10 millones de dólares en Kickstarter de 68.929 partidarios, muchos de los cuales eran promesas de más de $ 100. Canonical necesita 40.000 partidarios de “pre-compra” de un teléfono de 810 dólares para cumplir su objetivo.
Aunque la campaña no logra su objetivo aún podría ser útil al demostrar demanda. Si esto lo suficientemente alto como podría boya el interés de las compañías de telecomunicaciones más cautelosos y fabricantes de teléfonos.
Mark Shuttleworth concluye que inorder para hacer el futuro de la telefonía móvil convergente suceder que tendrán que “… romper todos los registros de crowdfunding historia.
“Pero si hay suficientes entusiastas que quieren lo último en rendimiento, almacenamiento, pantalla, batería y ancho de banda, Ubuntu Edge será el catalizador para la innovación impresionante, y una muestra del futuro del teléfono.”

Last week many of you will have seen the teasers that were shared on www.ubuntu.com. As you can imagine, our community, the press, and others picked up on this with rampant curiosity of what was to come. I am delighted to see the news is now out there, and boy, is this exciting.
In a nutshell, today we are kicking off an Indigogo crowdfunding campaign to fund a fully converged device called Ubuntu Edge.
Can’t see the video? See it here!
The Ubuntu Edge will dual boot Ubuntu and Android, and will transform into a PC when docked with a monitor, with the full Ubuntu desktop and shared access to all the phone’s files. For this it needs the power of a PC, so Ubuntu Edge will be equipped with the latest, fastest processor, at least 4GB of RAM and a massive 128GB of storage.
Every week on my weekly Q&A many of you ask when you can buy a fully converged Ubuntu device in which you can use it as a phone and boot a desktop, and here it is. Now is the opportunity to not only buy one, but to contribute to showing your support for an Ubuntu converged device by contributing to the campaign.
The Ubuntu Edge is not only functionally powerful though. This beautifully crafted device replaces the traditional glass screen with a pure Sapphire crystal, so tough it could only be scratched by diamond. It will also pioneer the use of long-life silicon anode battery technology. A special dual-LTE solution will allow high-speed roaming with access to 4G-LTE broadband in both Europe and the US.
I know many of you who are reading this will be interested in the technical specs, which are:
(specifications are subject to change)
All in all this is a beautiful powerhouse for running a fully converged Ubuntu experience – not just a phone, but a phone and your desktop all in one package that looks and feels uniquely Ubuntu.
For the next 30 days our goal is to reach $32 million, an unprecedented amount raised in a crowd-sourcing campaign. Fortunately we have an incredible global community, and we are asking each of you to contribute what you can to the campaign.
The idea is simple: by committing $600 (£394) on day one, or $810 (£532) thereafter, you will receive one of these ground-breaking mobile devices in …read more

Samsung announced this morning that it is taking pre-orders on its Ativ Book 9 Lite notebook PC, which was first announced on June 20. One of the most interesting features of the new notebook is the custom AMD CPU, which Samsung is describing as a “white-label” quad core.
“It’s something we wanted that was outside [AMD’s] roadmap,” Samsung PC Product manager David Ng told me in a briefing on Friday. Asked why Samsung chose to partner with AMD for this custom CPU, Ng replied “A huge part of it was the superior integrated GPU in AMD’s parts.”
Be that as it may, Samsung tapped Intel’s new Haswell chips to power its flagship notebook—the Ativ Book 9—which made waves last month when Samsung revealed it would come equipped with a 3200 by 1800-pixel, 13.3-inch touchscreen.
The Ativ Book 9 Lite will also have a 13.3-inch touchscreen, but this one delivers a more down-to-earth resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels. And while Samsung has not announced pricing or availability of its flagship notebook, the Lite model is selling for a reasonable $800 and is expected to reach customers beginning July 28.

I came across another command called cpuset which looks like it performs a similar function. I’ve read the cpuset man page and I think I am running the command correctly but I just want to confirm it. I want to do the following:
file1 executed using processor 1
file2 executed using processor 2
file3 executed using processor 3
etc.
For this example file1.txt simply echoes ‘file1’ to the screen and file2.txt echoes ‘file2’ to the screen. The code I executed is:
# cpuset -l 0 ./file1.txt
file1
# cpuset -l 1 ./file2.txt
file2
#
It looks like it’s working but I just need to confirm that I am seting the CPU affinity correctly.

Advanced Micro Devices reported a 31 percent drop in revenue for the first quarter as it continues to battle a weak PC market and lackluster demand for its chips.
Sales in AMD‘s Computing Solutions group, which makes processors for PCs and servers, plummeted 38 percent from last year to US$751 million. Its graphics chip business did slightly better, with sales down 12 percent to $337 million, AMD announced Thursday.
Overall revenue for the quarter, ended March 30, was $1.09 billion, AMD said. It reported a net loss for the quarter of $146 million, or $0.19 per share, an improvement on its loss of $590 million, or $0.80 per share, a year earlier.
It’s a tough time for the PC industry as a whole, with the economy stumbling along and more people turning to smartphones and tablets for their computing. PC shipments were down almost 14 percent in the first quarter, research firm IDC said last week. That was the biggest year-on-year quarterly decline IDC has ever recorded.

Please help me in find the right way to create a script for the below task.
Task – I need to create a alert script for CPU usage and I only need to alert when there is a process hold the CPU high for more than 5 mins.
Initially five mins one use the ps command five mins once like below to get the high CPU usage
ps -eo pcpu | sort -nr | head -1 | awk '{print int($1)}'
But the problem is this script will also alert the process which momentary spike and come to normal. So i am using the line below to calculate the idle CPU then the process count. Is there any better way to deal this, please help me with your ideas?
sar -u 12 20 | tail -1 | awk '{print int($8)}'

Over the last few days I was wondering what is a “lightweight” desktop. And I must say I couldn’t come up with an answer to that question.
I was considering various things like “being memory efficient” which I discarded for obvious reasons. First of all it’s difficult to measure memory usage correctly (I haven’t seen anyone, who provides numbers, doing it correctly, this includes especially Phoronix). And then it’s comparing mostly apples to oranges. Loading a high-resolution wallpaper might make all the difference in the memory usage. Also if desktop environment Foo provides features which are not provided by Bar it’s obvious that Foo uses more memory. But still it’s apples vs oranges. It’s not a comparison on memory, it’s a comparison of features. And of course one might consider the Time-memory-tradeoff.
So is it all about features? Obviously not. If there is a feature a user needs and uses it cannot be bloat. The fact that a desktop environment has only few features cannot be the key to being lightweight. Being evil now: many people say GNOME is removing features, but nobody would say that GNOME is lightweight.
What about support for old systems? That’s not lightweight, that’s support for old hardware. And it’s something which doesn’t make any sense given Moore’s law. Which raises the first question: what is old hardware? One year, two years, ten years? Is it a moving target or is a Pentium III for all time the reference? Optimizing for old hardware means not making use of modern hardware capabilities. But does that make sense to not use modern hardware if it is available? Using the GPU for things the GPU can do better than the CPU is a good thing, isn’t it? Parallelize a computation on multi-core if possible is a good thing, isn’t it? But if you do so, you are optimizing for modern hardware and not for old hardware. So saying you are good for old hardware, implies you are bad on new hardware? Also I’m wondering how one can optimize for old hardware? Developers tend to have new hardware to not have problems like this. And how can one keep support for old hardware when the complete stack is moving towards new hardware? Who tests the kernel against old hardware? Who provides DRI drivers for obsoleted hardware which doesn’t fit into modern mainboards (who remembers AGP or PCI)? Who ensures that software is still working on 32 bit systems, who would notice such a breakage for example in the X-Server? So lightweight cannot be fit for old hardware. And remember: optimizing for old hardware is not the same as optimizing for modern low-end hardware. Even the Raspberry Pi has a stronger CPU (700 MHz) than the oldest Pentium III (450 MHz) – not to mention things like OpenGL…
What’s it then? Let’s ask Wikipedia. For Xfce it tells us, that “it aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use”. Unfortunately there’s no

Following the gloomy estimates out of market researcher IDC on the sad state of the PC market in the first quarter, Intel shares dropped by as much as 3%, since the bulk of Chipzilla’s business is still tied directly to the PC market.
Bulls will point to the company’s upcoming line of chips based on its Haswell architecture as a possible catalyst to reinvigorate growth. Intel’s latest and greatest silicon is expected to offer modest CPU performance gains of 5% to 15% (assuming same clock speed as the previous-generation Ivy Bridge) and more impressive integrated GPU performance improvements of 30% to 50%, all while improving power efficiency and battery life. CEO Paul Otellini recently said that Haswell would offer “the single largest generation-to-generation battery life improvement” in the company’s history.
The problem? None of that matters.
Of course performance increases every year. That’s a given. There’s no doubt that Intel continues to create the most powerful consumer microprocessors known to man. When it comes to manufacturing prowess, the company remains unrivaled. But those aren’t the types of things that will sway the average consumer in the market for a computing device, who is increasingly switching to smartphones and tablets.
In some ways, Intel is facing performance oversupply. Most of that raw power likely isn’t being tapped by casual users anyway, so consumers are turning their attention to lower-cost mobile devices where Intel still has no traction. Intel’s fate remains inextricably linked to Microsoft‘s , and Windows 8 is absolutely bombing with the average user. Having a cutting-edge processor does no good if a consumer hates the interface.
J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz concurs. He believes that though Haswell may spur some demand within the Ultrabooks, it won’t be enough to offset the broader declines that the PC industry is facing. Of particular concern were shipments in the Asia-Pacific region. Units fell 13% there, which is the first double-digit decline posted in that geography. Moskowitz also thinks that OEMs will start looking for price breaks amid soft demand.
Haswell is more of a threat to NVIDIA than anything else, primarily at the low end of the discrete GPU market. NVIDIA has held up admirably to the threat of integrated graphics, and its high-end discrete GPUs will always blow integrated solutions out of the water.
Last year, NVIDIA investor relations exec Rob Csongor emphasized to me that investors should focus more on the difference between integrated performance and discrete performance, since that difference is where NVIDIA conveys its value proposition to gamers and enthusiasts. With Haswell, that difference will get smaller.
Despite Intel‘s attempts to crack mobile, it still has little to nothing to show for it. Within the PC market that Intel still leans on (63% of revenue last quarter), Intel is helpless.
When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn’t get much better than Intel’s position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel finds itself in

Defiance is an odd beast. It’s half shooter, half MMO, and half TV show, and it’s available on consoles and PC. It has dynamic in-game events that will allegedly influence the TV show, plus a whole separate system of in-game rewards you can unlock by inputting codes from watching ads (sigh). On the bright side, the PC version offers a better experience than the console versions. But by how much?

Rumors of the next Xbox’s use of an AMD-based CPU have been circulating for months, and now, Bloomberg is lending credence to the claim. According to the news organization’s anonymous sources, the system will utilize a chip based on AMD‘s Jaguar APU architecture. While the report offers no additional detail, it falls in line with purported specs leaked earlier this year, which claimed the system would utilize a 1.6GHz 8-core AMD CPU.
If true, the next Xbox would be comparable to the PlayStation 4, which Sony has confirmed will use an 8-core AMD processor based on the same Jaguar architecture. Whether or not Microsoft’s silicon will outpace the PS4 in terms of clocking speed or number of cores, however, remains unknown.
