The first official benchmark test results for Intel's Tigerton series and AMD's Barcelona series were released by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. From a pure prowess perspective, neither the new quad-core Xeon MPs nor the new quad-core Opterons walk away with an all-around victory, with Intel's X7350 stealing the show in integer throughput, and AMD's 8350 winning the race in floating-point throughput.

SableVM is a robust, extremely portable, efficient, and specifications-compliant Java Virtual Machine that aims to be easy to maintain and to extend. It features a state-of-the-art and efficient interpreter engine. Its source code is very accessible and easy to understand. It also has many robustness features that have been the object of careful design.     SableVM is a clean-room implementation of the publicly available specifications.    In this version, we added an experimental generational garbage collector, we imported a new GNU Classpath snapshot, we added handling of Jar/Zip files on boot classpath, we added user-friendly failure messages for bootstrap problems, we added added a profiling switch, we made sablevm-classpath install its files in standard locations, we made jikes and gcc be less verbose by default, and we made several important bugfixes and improvements.  You can download the SableVM from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5523&release_id=281502

Alchemi is a software framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of networked machines into a virtual supercomputer (computational grid) and to develop applications to run on enterprise grids.      We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.0.6. The major changes since 1.0.5 are a LUA (Least Privileged User Account) operation for both Manager, Executor in normal and service mode and an option for executing user's GThreads in a secure sandbox (experimental)  Please note that this is a developer release intended for enthusiasts and early adopters as documentation is not up to date.     Go here for downloading the files in this release:     http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66729&package_id=186776&release_id=456163

(InfoWorld) - New software from startup PeakStreamÂ is aimed at unleashing the power in the latest generation of multicore processors. The PeakStream Platform, introduced on Monday, is designed to make programming processors easier and faster so that the high-performance computing market can take full advantage of the latest powerful processors like multicore CPUs, GPUs (graphics processor units) and cell processors. Without the software, PeakStream says that developers struggle to program the chips in a way that enables full use of the speed available in them. The software employs stream programming, an approach to high performance computing programming designed for the distributed, hierarchical memories of the latest multicore processors. To use the software, developers must learn the PeakStream API (application programming interface) and then build applications using standard development tools. Developers running RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 update 3 on an Advanced Micro Devices Opteron or Intel Xeon workstation with supported GPUs can use PeakStream. Interested customers can evaluate the software now. It will be generally available in the fourth quarter. In addition to enabling developers to use the full capabilities of chips, the software can also help speed up and reduce the costs of the development process, PeakStream said. PeakStream was founded last year by executives from Sun Microsystems, Nvidia, VMware, and Network Appliance. They noticed a demand from computer engineers and scientists for a quicker way to design and operate computationally intense applications using high performance chips. The company is targeting specific industries including energy exploration, finance, defense and research/academia. PeakStream also announced on Monday that it has raised $17 million in new funding that it will use in the introduction of the new software.
