This book shows how to create and maintain the flexible, adaptive infrastructure needed to cope with rapid change and competitive demands. Infrastructure Strategies beyond the Enterprise Competition in the future, even today in certain industries, will not be company against company but supply chain against supply chain. Companies will be only as strong as the weakest link in their supply chain. The winners will be companies that can build electronic B2B relationships rapidly and manage those relationships seamlessly. This book shows how.
Every enterprise has information at risk, especially in today's e-business environment.
Itanium architecture delivers an array of new capabilities, such as instruction level parallelism, software pipelining, speculation, prediction, global instruction scheduling, and ALATs. Key topics include determining how fast the application currently runs, finding the areas of the program that need improvement, analyzing the program to determine what kinds of optimizations will help, general optimizations, optimizations that take advantage of specific processor features, and how to design for speed from the beginning. Rick Booth's Itanium Processor Optimization and Tuning reviews architectural issues with an eye to pointing out the performance implications of the various parts as they come up for inspection. Sample code is included for experienced programmers to learn from. In this concise, lively book on programming the IXP1200, Erik J. Johnson and Aaron Kunze succinctly list ways to accomplish a complete range of typical tasks and tells you how the hardware influences the programming environment.
