Scaling Server Performance By Brian Neal on Friday, January 17, 2003 8:27 AM EST As you may have guessed by now, the key to our server performance does not lie in the physical hardware itself, but in the software. Specifically, our web application is designed from the... The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Mainframe By Ford Prefect on Tuesday, November 5, 2002 6:09 PM EST In this article I will provide a brief history of the mainframe, with an emphasis on features that make a mainframe unique. I will not attempt to cover the architecture in any technical... Ace's Guide to Memory Technology: Part 3 By Johan De Gelas on Saturday, August 10, 2002 1:57 AM EDT What is the memory standard of the future? RDRAM, DDR400 or DDR-II? It is a question that continues to fuel heated discussions on many internet hardware forums, including our own... Volume Multi-Processor Systems: Part 3 By Chris Rijk on Monday, July 8, 2002 11:01 PM EDT This time around, we�ll take a look into the future of volume multi-processor systems (or the very immediate present in the case of the recently introduced Itanium 2). Of course, we�ll look... Volume Multi-Processor Systems: Part 2 By Chris Rijk on Thursday, June 20, 2002 8:24 AM EDT For this part, we�ll be looking at the specific architectural implementations of several volume multi-processor systems, including those based around the Pentium III, Pentium 4, Athlon,... Volume Multi-Processor Systems: Part 1 By Chris Rijk on Saturday, May 25, 2002 3:08 PM EDT The primary goal of this article is to look into the volume workstation and server markets to determine what the implications are for the hardware design and usage, for software and the... SPECmine - A Case Study on Optimization By Chris Rijk on Monday, December 3, 2001 9:28 PM EST For the most part, your internet connection and your browser has a greater affect on perceived performance than the time required to process the request itself. All this on a Sun Blade... Building a Better Webserver in the 21st Century By Brian Neal on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 8:07 AM EST When we first launched the new and improved Ace's Hardware, a number of readers asked how we had achieved these improvements. In fact, since the beginning of Ace's Hardware in the summer of... Itanium: Titan or Titanic? By Johan De Gelas on Sunday, July 22, 2001 9:24 AM EDT The schedule slips of the "Itanic" have become almost legendary. Originally slated to be launched in 1998, the Itanium finally saw daylight on the 29th of... Floating-Point Compiler Performance Analysis By Johan De Gelas on Friday, June 29, 2001 2:18 AM EDT If a simple recompile with a P4 optimized compiler can result in software that runs significantly faster on the Pentium 4, the Netburst CPUs could outclass the competition in the near... Pentium 4 Architecture In Depth, Part 2 By Johan De Gelas on Tuesday, March 6, 2001 12:11 PM EST Still intrigued by the battle of architectures between Intel's Pentium 4 and AMD's Athlon?As you may have read in the past, today's software runs better on the Athlon than on the Pentium 4... Pentium 4 Architecture In Depth, Part 1 By Johan De Gelas on Monday, January 29, 2001 10:31 AM EST Simply assuming the Pentium 4 was designed for high clockrates, and that Intel has thrown all other considerations overboard, however, is a bit too simplistic. No, there must be more!... Mustang VS Pentium 4: Design Decisions By Johan De Gelas on Monday, October 23, 2000 9:00 AM EDT Are double pumped, hyperpipelined, low latency designs the only future for x86? Will future designs from AMD and other competitors be similar to Intel's innovative seventh generation core?... The Future of x86 Performance By Johan De Gelas on Thursday, October 5, 2000 12:37 PM EDT This article does not speculate about the Pentium 4's performance, but we thought it would be interesting to try to get a better understanding of the trade-offs Intel engineers made... Ace's Guide to Memory Technology, Part 2 By Johan De Gelas on Thursday, August 3, 2000 9:15 AM EDT The battle between Rambus vs (DDR) SDRAM is one of the hottest discussion topics on the net today. Some people feel as if it has become an "Intel versus AMD" flamewar or a more typical... Ace's Guide to Memory Technology By Johan De Gelas on Thursday, July 13, 2000 1:33 AM EDT We at Ace's Hardware decided to forget the rumbling in the courts and focus on what is our duty: making sure that you are well informed. No better weapon than a comprehensive article to... Binaries Vs Byte-Codes By Chris Rijk on Friday, June 2, 2000 12:00 PM EDT There are several reasons why Java could be thought to be inherently slower than C for pure performance. For starters, Java is optimized at run-time, instead of compile-time.... The Quest for Better Performance, Part 2 By Johan De Gelas on Sunday, April 23, 2000 3:39 PM EDT In our previous article, we hunted for performance bottlenecks and we have discovered quite a few interesting bottlenecks. In this article we will try to solve these bottlenecks.... The Quest for Better Performance By Johan De Gelas on Friday, April 21, 2000 3:07 AM EDT Performance is limited by certain bottlenecks, that is what this article is all about. We will try to find out what exactly are the bottlenecks in a top notch system of today.... Inside Tech: The UltraSPARC III By Chris Rijk on Friday, February 25, 2000 12:01 AM EST Increasing cache sizes is not as effective as it used to be, ILP is not as effective as it used to be, increasing clock frequency by lengthening the pipeline is not as effective as it used... The Athlon: Seventh generation or not? By Johan De Gelas on Friday, November 5, 1999 11:47 AM EST CPU freaks have welcomed the Athlon chip enthusiastically, finally a new core with ambition! However,now that the sixth generation Coppermine has made the gap smaller,a lot of people to... Understanding the Performance of the Athlon, Part 1 By Johan De Gelas on Wednesday, September 29, 1999 1:59 AM EDT The Athlon is an excellent well-rounded performer, both in games and high-end applications, but what about the various aspects of the architecture behind this blockbuster CPU?... The Secrets of High Performance CPUs, Part 5 By Johan De Gelas on Wednesday, August 25, 1999 1:59 AM EDT Intel's x86 architecture is now 20 years old, and it is crystal clear that designing a fast x86 CPU is like designing a race car with the brakes on. While the Pentium was a big step forward... The Secrets of High Performance CPUs, Part 4 By Johan De Gelas on Wednesday, September 29, 1999 2:00 AM EDT The RISE MP6 is the first to have a real dual issue, pipelined FPU in the x86 world. Wow! Twice the power of the PII? Nope. Ok, twice the power of the P-MMX? No, again. Hey, where has all... The Secrets of High Performance CPUs, Part 3 By Johan De Gelas on Wednesday, September 29, 1999 2:00 AM EDT A strong, lightning fast CPU has a ton of decoders and execution units right?
