This is the first general programming book for software application developers targeting the Itanium processor family. Programming Itanium-based Systems will help you to harness the power of Intel's new line of very long instruction word (VLIW) processors by providing:  Code optimization advice, including low-level explanation of what happens under the hood when code is compiled. Explanation of ways the application programmer can take advantage of the EPIC architecture's parallelism. A thorough treatment of porting applications to the Itanium environment. Unique insights into optimization and tuning of Itanium applications—including numerous examples and an extensive case history. Insight into the effective use of Itanium software development tools.  This is the book for you:  If you want to know how to create, optimize, and tune application software for the Itanium architecture. If you are making the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit addressing. If you are buying your first, perhaps your only, book on the Itanium family of processors.  You can find additional detailed information about the architecture in a companion book from Intel Press, Itanium Architecture for Software Developers.

Intel Internet Exchange Architecture and Applications: A Practical Guide to Intel's Network Processors

Carlson, Bill

This unique description of the Intel® Itanium™ application architecture helps the software development community to use the power of Intel's new line of 64-bit processors. The book provides: 
<ul>
<li>Knowledge that helps developers understand how to create high-performance software by tapping the unique features of the architecture and corresponding compilers. </li>
<li>Clear explanation of how the massively parallel Itanium architecture meets demand for increased throughput by Internet-based applications and e-Commerce. </li>
<li>Highlights of unique concepts that help the reader to understand how the new architecture differs from traditional IA-32 architectures. </li>
<li>Descriptions of salient features of the Itanium™ processor's application software architecture. </li>
</ul> This is the starter book for your collection on the new architecture. The target audience is a broad mixture of application developers who are creating new 64-bit applications or are porting current applications to the new architecture. It is also a valuable resource for developers of firmware, system software, or operating systems. For those who want to know what's happening inside but don't wish to program in assembly language or tune applications with special tools, this book orients the software developer making the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture.

Itanium Architecture for Software Developers

This book is the first to interpret the InfiniBand specification as it applies to high-performance, inter-system I/O. From it, you get the knowledge and insight necessary to develop innovative solutions for system I/O and inter-process communication. The author guides you through the architecture, illustrating ways that you can implement and deploy InfiniBand-based products to relieve I/O bottlenecks. 
InfiniBand Architecture Development and Deployment is for developers of software applications and server peripheral hardware as well as for senior Information Technology managers charged with data center management or planning for projects and capital equipment.

Futral, William T.

Written for software engineers, this book explains how to program the microengines of Intel's IXP 1200 family of network processors. The book describes the hardware and development environment and uses a series of expanding examples to outline the correct approach to programming. Common mistakes are identified. The book assumes no previous experience with Intel IXA components. A companion CD-ROM contains the microengine code examples used in the book and a IXA developer's kit for building applications. Johnson and Kunze are software engineers at Intel Labs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Peer-to-Peer Computing: Technologies for Sharing and Collaborating on the Net

Barkai, David

Networking & Cloud Computing

Here is the first comprehensive hardware and software engineering guide for designing power-managed PCs. Written by PC experts, this book provides developers and integrators with practical knowledge and design techniques for building PCs that address the increasing demand for energy conservation. 
With power management, a PC can have lower overall power utilization, automated off-hours maintenance, and an improved end-user experience. Recent regulations and labeling programs mandate tighter restrictions on platform power consumption. PC hardware developers, software programmers, and system integrators must work together to build systems that meet the new power management guidelines. 
Instead of rehashing specifications, Building the Power-Efficient PC clearly explains how a properly designed system functions during power state transitions and shows you in detail how those transitions can be implemented in the hardware and software. Topics include: 
<ul>
<li>Background and history of PC power management </li>
<li>Key power management concepts </li>
<li>Control flow through power states </li>
<li>Design considerations for desktop and mobile hardware </li>
<li>Drivers for Microsoft Windows and Linux </li>
<li>Specific techniques for application software </li>
<li>Testing and validation </li>
</ul> In addition, a companion CD-ROM provides all of the latest power management specifications and reference materials to help you design your product.

The agile business embraces change rapidly and gracefully. To be ready, the business needs an infrastructure that supports change without disruption or excessive cost. An adaptive infrastructure enables the business to cope with unforeseen circumstances and competitive demands. To build, use, and manage adaptive enterprise solutions, you need an infrastructure planning process that supports new and growing business initiatives. The strategies and processes described in this book will give you clear and practical ways to guide your company through Internet-induced change: 
<ul>
<li>Plan your infrastructure end to end. This book provides a number of successful models to help you plan efficiently and effectively, to show you how to implement an adaptive enterprise infrastructure. </li>
<li>Design an adaptive infrastructure. This book explains the fundamental concepts of adaptive infrastructure and explains how to address the major opportunities and challenges you will face. </li>
<li>Execute a reuse strategy. This book tells you how to identify key infrastructure patterns within your organization, and how to use those patterns to derive reusable adaptive infrastructure services. </li>
<li>Address people, processes, and technology. You can make great technology choices, but without the right people and processes, your technology choices won¡¦t bring the success that you expect. </li>
<li>Achieve an optimal balance between immediate needs and long-term goals. You must be able to change what you are doing while you are still doing it. This book shows you how to attain the balance needed to transform while you are performing. </li>
