August 2005 Intel® IXDP465 Development Platform AN 4 Order Number: 305825, Revision: 003 Quick Start Guide—Intel® IXDP465 Development Platform 1.0 Purpose This document, the Intel® IXDP465 Development Platform Quick Start Guide, contains instructions for unpacking, inspecting, setting up, and starting the Intel® IXDP465 Development Platform. Before the IXDP465 platform is powered up for the first time, it is very important to first become familiar with the platform. Therefore, Section 5.0 through Section 8.0 provide the required information for powering up the platform for first time use. These sections provide the following information: • Photo of the IXDP465 platform setup for Quick Start operation, showing the location of factory-installed mezzanine modules and location of key interfaces to assist with connection of console, Ethernet, and power cables. • Factory default settings of all switches and jumpers, allowing the user to ensure they were not accidentally changed during transport, or repositioned by a previous platform user. • Location and definitions of the LCD display and all the platform LEDs, so that they can be visually monitored for proper power-up and booting. Instructions for preparing and starting the IXDP465 platform begin in Section 9.0. Note: It is highly recommended that a printout of this entire Quick Start Guide is obtained prior to preparing and powering up the platform for the first time. All tables in this Quick Start Guide include checkboxes so that items in the printout can be checked off to insure that all platform switches, jumpers, and LEDs operate in their default state,

Then compare the resulting value to a threshold. If it is too high, investigate. The New Way: Look at the Branch Mispredict metric, and see if any cells are pink.

  • Crosstalk and Signal Integrity in Ring Resonator Based Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers for Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing Networks
    Crosstalk and Signal Integrity in Ring Resonator Based Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers for Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing Networks by Riyadh Dakhil Mansoor, B.Eng, M.Sc, MIET. School of Engineering and Sustainable Development De Montfort University A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 To my family. i ABSTRACT With 400 Gbps Ethernet being developed at the time of writing this thesis, all-optical networks are a solution to the increased bandwidth requirements of data communication allowing architectures to become increasingly integrated. High density integration of optical components leads to potential ‘Optical/Photonic’ electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI) issues due to the close proximity of optical components and waveguides. Optical EMC issues are due to backscatter, crosstalk, stray light, and substrate modes. This thesis has focused on the crosstalk in Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (OADMs) as an EMC problem. The main research question is: “How can signal integrity be improved and crosstalk effects mitigated in small-sized OADMs in order to enhance the optical EMC in all-optical networks and contribute to the increase in integration scalability?” To answer this question, increasing the crosstalk suppression bandwidth rather than maximizing the crosstalk suppression ratio is proposed in ring resonator based OADMs. Ring resonators have a small ‘real estate’ requirement and are, therefore, potentially useful for large scale integrated optical systems. A number of approaches such as over-coupled rings, vertically-coupled rings and rings with random and periodic roughness are adopted to effectively reduce the crosstalk between 10 Gbps modulated channels in OADMs.

  • Tech Heaven: Intel Technology Innovation on Display
    Intel Corporation 2200 Mission College Blvd. P.O. Box 58119 Santa Clara, CA 95052-8119 Showcase Overview Tech Heaven: Intel Technology Innovation On Display This interactive showcase highlights technology innovations that are in some stage of active research or development and have the potential to change how we live, work and play in the following areas: home, hands-free technology, fashion/shopping, communication/social media, health and transportation. We see a world where personal computing is expanding beyond the PC to nearly every kind of electronic device. We see “smart” computers themselves vanishing into the background – a network of billions of connected people and trillions of “smart” connected electronic products, many connecting without human intervention. Intel is investing some of its annual USD$6 billion in research in order to make this vision a reality. Moore’s Law is enabling Intel to pack more and more technology and innovation into ever shrinking chips. As we are multiplying the number of “brains” or cores inside the chip and computer, our computing experiences continues to get faster, stronger, smarter, more personalized and with unprecedented vividness. And with the unfettered Internet connectivity in the home, car and everywhere in between, this new computing experience follows us wherever we go. Intel has been at the forefront of the computer industry’s rapid pace of change. Things that were unimaginable just a decade or two ago are now considered common place. The pace of technological innovation is accelerating, and the number of inventions in the next 40 years will equal or surpass all of the inventive activity that has taken place in history.
