Despite the rapid friends for computer help. But what influences whether and uptake of residential networked computing, however, a how a “helper” will provide help? To answer this question, number of researchers have remarked on user experience we conducted a qualitative investigation of people who difficulties associated with home computer and network participated in computer support activities with family and setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting friends in the past year. We describe how factors including [8,10,12,15,17,20,30,32,34]. Moreover, as residential maintenance of one’s personal identity as a computer expert computing infrastructures have become more complex, and accountability to one’s social network determine who professional technical support services have not sufficiently receives help and the quality of help provided. We also matured alongside the technologies [10,15,30]. discuss the complex, fractured relationship between the numerous stakeholders involved in the upkeep of home Thus, residential computing infrastructure setup and computing infrastructures.

Our described approach is both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’; we begin by summarizing existing studies on the cloud market, and review how the EASI-CLOUDS project partners are positioned on the cloud value chain. We review emerging trends, concepts, business models and value drivers in the cloud market, and present results from a survey targeted at top cloud bloggers and cloud professionals. We then review how the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure components create value both directly and by facilitating brokerage and federation. We then examine how cloud market opportunities can be grasped through different business models. Specifically, we examine value creation and value capture in different generic business models that may benefit from the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure. We conclude by providing recommendations on how the different EASI-CLOUDS demonstrators may be commercialized through different business models. © EASI-CLOUDS Consortium. 2 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Table of contents Table of contents ...........................................................................................................................

To If the large dataset cannot fit entirely in memory, it has to address the tremendous pressure on the main memory system, discrete memory modules can be networked together to form a be spilled to disk, thus causing sub-optimal performance due memory pool, enabled by recent trends towards richer memory to disk I/O contention. Unfortunately, with the current DDRx interfaces (e.g. Hybrid Memory Cubes, or HMCs). Such an inter- based memory architecture, the scaling of DRAM capacity memory network provides a scalable fabric to expand memory falls far behind the growth of dataset size of in-memory capacity, but still suffers from long multi-hop latency, limited computing applications [12]. A straightforward approach to bandwidth, and high power consumption—problems that will continue to exacerbate as the gap between interconnect and increase memory capacity is to add more CPU sockets for transistor performance grows. Moreover, inside each memory additional memory channels. However, this will introduce module, an intra-memory network (NoC) is typically employed to significant hardware cost [13].

  • Introduction to AGP-8X
    W H I T E P A P E R Introduction to AGP-8X Allan Chen Jessie Johnson Angel Suhrstedt ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. One AMD Place Sunnyvale, CA 94088 Page 1 Introduction to AGP-8X May 10, 2002 W H I T E P A P E R Background Tremendous efforts have been made to improve computing system performance through increases in CPU processing power; however, I/O bottlenecks throughout the computing platform can limit the system performance. To eliminate system bottlenecks, AMD has been working with industry leaders to implement innovative technologies including AGP, DDR SDRAM, USB2.0, and HyperTransport™ technology. This white paper will provide an overview of the latest graphics subsystem innovation: AGP-8X. Introduction The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) was developed as a high-performance graphics interface. It alleviates the PCI graphics bottleneck by providing high bandwidth throughput and direct access to system memory. The new AGP3.0 specification adds an 8X mode definition, which doubles the maximum data transfer rate from the previous high reached with AGP-4X by doubling the amount of data transferred per AGP bus cycle. Figure 1 shows the graphic interface bandwidth performance evolution from PCI to AGP-8X. In this figure, AGP3.0 refers to the specific AGP interface specification. AGP-1X, AGP-2X, AGP-4X and AGP-8X represent the data transfer speed mode. Graphics Interface Peak Bandwidth 2500 2000 1500 1000 Bandwidth (MB/s) 500 0 PCI AGP1X AGP2X AGP4X AGP8X AGP 1.0 Specification AGP 2.0 Specification AGP 3.0 Specification Figure 1: Available bandwidth of different graphic interfaces.
