  • VIA Apollo P4X400 Chipset Enabling Total System Performance
    VIA Apollo P4X400 Chipset White Paper VIA Apollo P4X400 Chipset Enabling Total System Performance High performance DDR400 chipset platform for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor Page 1 VIA Apollo P4X400 Chipset White Paper Introduction The VIA Apollo P4X400 is a core logic chipset solution that makes Total System Performance a reality in Intel® Pentium® 4 processor based systems . Fusing the unequalled bandwidth of DDR400 with the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, the VIA Apollo P4X400 with 533MHz processor bus, AGP 8X, ATA-133, USB 2.0 and 8X V-Link chip interconnect, brings an unmatched suite of new memory, system and I/O technologies to a single platform. In combination these technologies enable Intel® Pentium® 4 systems and servers to achieve heights of performance never scaled before. In the past, advances in one area of system performance have frequently been held back by I/O and connectivity bottlenecks, but with the advent of the VIA Apollo P4X400, every aspect of performance is addressed, delivering end user experiences that meet the high expectations of today’s consumers. The VT8235, with USB 2.0 integrated into a chipset for the first time, enables peripheral devices to send and receive data at 480 Mbps, 40 times faster than the previous USB standard. This data can then be sent to the North Bridge through the new 8X V-Link chip interconnect which offers 533MB/s of bandwidth, twice as much as Intel Hub Architecture, making sure the ultra fast processor and DDR333 memory subsystem is supplied with all the data it needs minimizing system delays and offering the smoothest system performance you will ever have experienced.

  • Temperature Adaptive Computing in a Real PC
    TEAPC: Temperature Adaptive Computing in a Real PC Augustus K. Uht and Richard J. Vaccaro University of Rhode Island Microarchitecture Research Institute Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering 4 East Alumni Ave. Kingston, RI 02864, USA {[email protected], [email protected]} Abstract* Herein we present an adaptive prototype, TEAPC, based on the standard IBM/Intel PC architecture and TEAPC is an IBM/Intel-standard PC realization realizing underclocking, that is, operating the system of a CPU temperature-adaptive feedback-control greatly below its specified frequency. We have system. The control system adjusts the CPU frequency implemented the entire TEAPC control system in and/or voltage to maintain a constant set-point software, in a Windows application. It runs in a temperature. TEAPC dynamically adapts to changing normal application mode on Windows 2000, CPU computation loads, as well as any other system multitasking normally with other applications. CPU phenomenon that affects the CPU temperature. For frequency and core voltage are changed dynamically, example, with the specific TEAPC hardware, should based on the output of a feedback control system using the CPU cooling fan fail, the control system detects the CPU chip temperature as its input. The control the increase in CPU temperature and automatically loop and underclocking models should be usable for reduces the CPU frequency and voltage to keep the any PC to be built, as well as many that already exist. CPU from overheating. In such a circumstance the This paper’s contributions are as follows: system continues to operate. All of the adaptation is Demonstration of temperature control of a COTS done dynamically, at runtime, on an unmodified (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) based PC via a modern standard operating system (Windows 2000) with a feedback control system; On-demand reliability and purely software-implemented feedback-control system.
