Location: San Mateo, California New sound studios spearhead renovations for Sony Computer General Contractor: Entertainment America, with an acoustical assist from Magnum Drywall Magnum Drywall and PABCO® Gypsum’s QuietRock® Products: QuietRock® FLAME CURB® San Mateo, California The Sound of Silence means a lot to engineers producing video games for Sony PlayStation®4 (PS4™) enthusiasts. At Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC headquarters in San Mateo, California, producers’ tolerance for intrusive noise from beyond studio walls is zero. Only the intense action on-screen matters while creating audio effects that dramatize, punctuate and heighten the deeply immersive experience for video gamers. In these studios Sony Entertainment sound engineers make the most of that capability while keeping the PlayStation® pipeline full for weekly launches of new games. The gaming experience draws players to PS4™ and its predecessor PlayStation® consoles, and PS4™ elevates 3D excitement ever higher. It’s the world’s most powerful games console, with a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) able to perform 1,843 teraflops*. “When sound is important, we prefer to submit QuietRock as a good solution for the architect and the owner. There’s nothing else on the market that’s comparable. I even used it in my own home movie theatre.”” – Gary Robinson, Owner Magnum Drywall what the job demands Visit www.QuietRock.com or call Call 1.800.797.8159 for more information On top of its introductory lineup in November 2013, over 180 PS4™ games are in development, including “Be the Batman”, the epic conclusion of the “Batman: Arkham Knight” trilogy, that is due out in June 2015.

  • Zoned Storage for HDD and SSD Technologies
    Zoned Storage Now Encompasses Both HDD & SSD Technologies WHITE PAPER 3 Western Digital | WHITE PAPER WHITE PAPER Zoned Storage Now Encompasses Both HDD & SSD Technologies Both HDDs and SSDs have their own on-device controllers that are used to provide low-level manipulation of the drives. The division of compute tasks performed by the host-side CPUs and the drive-side controllers has evolved over time, with the boundaries moving back and forth between them. Computational architectures have evolved, especially in data centers where — as systems started to scale — local optimizations performed by the devices began to impact global optimizations. The concept of Zoned Storage is a relatively recent development that refers to a class of storage devices — both HDDs and SSDs — that enable the host system and the storage devices to cooperate so as to achieve higher storage capacities. As its name suggests, Zoned Storage involves organizing or partitioning the drives into zones. In the case of HDDs, Zoned Storage is implemented using a technology known as shingled magnetic recording (SMR). In the case of SSDs, Zoned Storage is implemented using a technology known as Zoned Namespaces (ZNS). Data Taken As-Is Serialize Data Zoned Storage Zoned Storage 2 HDDs An HDD contains one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with a magnetic material. Electromagnetic read/write heads are positioned above and below each platter. Data is stored on the platter as a series of thin concentric rings called tracks. In turn, the tracks are sub-divided into sectors. The HDD also contains a hard disk controller (HDC), which may be thought of as a small processor that is used to provide low-level control of the drive.

  • Storage Solutions for Embedded Applications
    White Paper Storage Solutions Brian Skerry Sr. Software Architect Intel Corporation for Embedded Applications December 2008 1 321054 Storage Solutions for Embedded Applications Executive Summary Any embedded system needs reliable access to storage. This may be provided by a hard disk drive or access to a remote storage device. Alternatively there are many flash solutions available on the market today. When considering flash, there are a number of important criteria to consider with capacity, cost, and reliability being foremost. This paper considers hardware, software, and other considerations in choosing a storage solution. Wear leveling is an important factor affecting the expected lifetime of any flash solution, and it can be implemented in a number of ways. Depending on the choices made, software changes may be necessary. Solid state drives offer the most straight forward replacement option for Hard disk drives, but may not be cost-effective for some applications. The Intel® X-25M Mainstream SATA Solid State Drive is one solution suitable for a high performance environment. For smaller storage requirements, CompactFlash* and USB flash are very attractive. Downward pressure continues to be applied to flash solutions, and there are a number of new technologies on the horizon. As a result of reading this paper, the reader will be able to take into consideration all the relevant factors in choosing a storage solution for an embedded system. Intel® architecture can benefit the embedded system designer as they can be assured of widespread

You can resolve these issues yourself using the Exadata Cell rescue functionality provided by Oracle on Exadata Storage Server Software CELLBOOT USB flash drive. The whole procedure is quite straightforward, but enough due diligence must be done to make the recovery a delightful experience. Oracle performs automatic backups of the operating system and cell software on each Exadata Storage Server without any Oracle DMA or operational process intervention. The critical files from the storage cells are backed up into the internal USB drive called CELLBOOT USB Flash Drive. The internal USB (/dev/sdm) maintains the most recent configuration and the updated copy of the OS and storage cell software. The internal USB serves as the default first boot device.

  • Boisvert-Storey-Sony Case Brief
    Storey C204 Summer 2014 Case Study BE MOVED SITUATION Sony Corporation is a 68-year old multinational based in Tokyo. In 2012, the tech giant employed 173,000 people, with corporate headquarters in Japan, Europe, and America. In May 2014, the company was down to 146,300, cutting 26,700 as part of CEO Kaz Hirai’s “One Sony” plan. Recently, the firm eVen sold former office buildings in Tokyo for $156 million (Inagaki). This followed a similar $1.2 billion sale in 2013. After seVeral years of losses, Sony’s situation appears critical. In the last fiscal year, the company lost $1.25 billion. EVen the gaming diVision, where the Playstation console family (PS2, PS3, PS4) is projected to sell 17 million units this year, lost $78 million (Quarterly Results). There are many causes: Sony’s jettisoning of its PC brand Vaio, the poor performance and planned spinoff of Sony’s teleVision diVision, PS4 launch and marketing costs, the struggling PSVita, R&D costs for Sony’s Project Morpheus, and the fluctuation of exchange rate markets. For the current year, Sony is projecting a $489 million loss. How sustainable is Sony’s current business model? Will the success of the PS4 lead to renewed profitability for the games diVision and the company as a whole? Perhaps opportunities in new markets can spark a turn-around. The company’s core businesses are electronic entertainment (Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment, and Sony Pictures Entertainment) and hardware (Sony Mobile Communications and Sony Electronics). Though it also dabbles in financial serVices, publishing, and medical imaging, electronics represents roughly two-thirds of the corporation’s reVenue (Sony Annual Report 2011, 2013).
