by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Earlier this year, when Transitive, a startup that has created a sophisticated emulator for running software for one computer architecture on other architectures, got backing from Intel, the tongues started wagging that Intel had given Transitive money to create a version of its emulator to support the porting of Solaris/Sparc applications to Intel Xeon and Itanium processors, possibly running the Linux operating system.

Top 500 Supers: Brace Yourself for Petaflops Systems
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The International Supercomputing Conference is in full swing in Dresden, Germany, this week, and the Top 500 listing of supercomputers, which is the equivalent of the Billboard chart ranking for popular music, is always the star of any show it is timed to coincide with.

Intel Comes Out Swinging with Woodcrest Xeons
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The two-socket SMP server is arguably what made the X86 architecture the dominant server platform in the world, and with the latest iteration of the Xeon, code-named "Woodcrest" and finally launched by the chip maker this week, Intel is finally back in the driver's seat, pushing performance and efficiency, by many measures, above rival Opteron chips from Advanced Micro Devices.
