Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively.
Intel® Power Gadget is a software-based power estimation tool enabled for 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors or newer. It provides real-time processor package power information in watts using energy counters.
On November 15, 1971, Intel presented the Intel 4004 microprocessor, the world's very first commercially available 4-bit central processing unit (CPU). It was the first complete CPU on one chip. By the time, this revolutionary microprocessor, the size of a little fingernail, delivered the same computing power as the first electronic computer built in 1946, which filled an entire room.
Having performance problems with your Java Application? Using too much Java heap space and don't know why? Sometimes simple software tools are all that's needed. This article discusses those tools.
Designed for the PlayStation 3, Sony, Toshiba and IBM's new "Cell processor" promises seemingly obscene computing capabilities for what will rapidly become a very low price.
by Jon "Hannibal" Stokes "I've been writing on CPU technology here at Ars for almost five years now, and during that time I've done my best to communicate computing concepts in as plain and accessible a manner as possible while still retaining some level
Introducing the (IBM/Sony/Toshiba) Cell Processor, "consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores."
"Have you had the privilege of sitting on pins and needles with information that has the potential to revolutionize all genre of PC gaming" (to late see CELL)
