Intel presented information on their Atom processor-based platforms for embedded systems. They discussed the Queens Bay Atom E6xx and Cedar Trail Atom N2000 and D2000 series processors. Cedar Trail offers improved performance over previous generations through a 32nm process, faster memory and graphics. Development kits are available to help designers evaluate and integrate the Atom platforms into their products. Future generations will provide continued enhancements for embedded and mobile intelligent devices.

Performance and scalability of Informix ultimate warehouse edtion on Intel Xe...Keshav Murthy
Talk at Information on Demand Conference 2011. As part of the Informix Ultimate Warehouse Edition, Informix
Warehouse Accelerator (IWA) transparently provides up to several
orders of a magnitude speed up in query performance for
Informix Dynamic Server (IDS), as well as enormous administrative
cost savings. Combined with the Intel Xeon E7 processor series,
Informix and the Accelerator brings the performance and
scalability of IDS solutions to new levels. This presentation will
give best practices and benefits of IWA and the Intel Xeon E7
processors, and highlight the implications and performance
benefits of running IDS and IWA on these processors, compared
to previous releases of IDS and prior Intel server platforms.
Simulation Directed Co-Design from Smartphones to SupercomputersEric Van Hensbergen
SystemExplorer is a system simulation framework based upon the open-source gem5 simulation infrastructure. It includes a rich collection of hardware components such as ARM cores, interconnect, memories and memory controllers, IO devices - ethernet, PCIe, and other peripherals. In addition it provides support for run fully featured operating systems such as Linux and Android combined with pre-packaged filesystem images that contain real workloads and benchmarks for Smartphone, Server and High Performance Computing. In this talk I'll give an overview of ARM R&D's use of the SystemExplorer tool for workload directed architectural co-design. I will focus on how we are using it in combination with the Department of Energy's co-design center proxy applications to help evaluate and enable the ARM architecture to address the power-efficiency, performance, and resilience requirements of Exascale computing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

On a high level, there are two major contributors to the advancements on this platform. One contributor is that the latest Intel Atom processors—the N2000 and D2000 Series are built with 32nm process technology—A shrink from the previous generation. This shrink allows for lower leakage, which helps save in power and aid in increased performance. These processors offer the first Intel Atom CPUs breaking the 2GHs barrier! All this to say, these new processors are driving leadership in performance/watt. The second contributor is that these processors have a new graphics core for enhanced graphics. This new core allows for 1080p as well as hardware accelerated HD-Decode. The predecessor platform (the 400 and 500 series) did not provide full hardware decode support. The new core also allows for Blu-ray, and dual independent display via multiple options including Display Port and HDMI.
