String Searching Benchmark on Sun SPARC Enterprise Servers [22297]
Shows UltraSPARC T2 & T2 Plus Code Generation Ease, Code Execution Speed
String searching or pattern matching are important to a variety of commercial, government and HPC applications. One of the core functions needed for text identification algorithms in data repositories is real-time string searching. A recent Aho-Corasick algorithm for string searching was used for benchmark testing the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220, T5240 and T5440. See the results along with ones from IBM and HP.

Bechtolsheim Shares His View on the Rise of 10GbE [22367]
His Company Arista Networks Readies Itself for the Growing Market
Andy Bechtolsheim's new firm, Arista Networks, is well positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning demand for 10GbE ethernet products that HPC users find essential to their operations. He told The Register's Timothy Prickett Morgan that "it is possible for some 25 percent of all servers in the installed base to have 10GbE ports by the year 2011." Said Bechtolsheim, "It is easier to forecast 10GE ports than revenues. This is one of the few areas in IT with predictable growth."
