IBM introduces new approach to x86 server

IBM introduces new approach to x86 server

Rack Series EX5 are, for example with a storage drawer. It has room for 32 DIMMs. The first models in 2010 a 4-processor rack-mount servers, blade design, and an entry server with 2 CPUs.

IBM has been at the CeBIT a preview of a new x86-server concept. The EX5 Series is based on a new architecture that eliminates some of the traditionally close relationship between memory and processor. In the course of the year will appear first three models.

As memory is no longer linked to the server, it can be upgraded without buying new servers. IBM can offer just six times the scalability over previous models and up to 97 percent less storage cost. A video on IBM’s website shows that each rack-mount server gets an additional storage drawer called Max5. It has room for 32 additional memory modules. Thus a 4-way server comes with a maximum of 96 DIMMs and an 8-way servers with up to 192 DIMMs.

As processor installed IBM’s fifth generation of its X Architecture chips. Instead of hard drives are “highly optimized” SSD drives with the name “eXFlash ‘operate. IBM announces huge improvement: The database performance is to be compared to the previous generation, the 30-fold, are the performance per watt by up to 99 percent higher.

The three specific models that IBM announced for the year, are a highly scalable 4-processor version for rack mounting, a blade design and an entry-level server, now of the IBM already said that he was “one of the most powerful 2 -processor server on the market “will be.

In addition, IBM is one of a number of additional new features on: FlexNode allows a system to dynamically two separate systems, and also back to one. With Scheduled Provisioning, interactive applications on the same system operated by day and night duties are performed in batch mode (batch). With the ability to isolate workloads, users can continue working even when one system goes down.

Next was the Systems Director management suite for EX5 technology expanded. It allows users to pre-configure server, remote controlled systems assign new tasks and to assign automatic updates and maintenance.

IBM’s main booth at the fair this year is at position A10 in Hall 2

Mitsubishi Electric open thin-film silicon solar cells development

Mitsubishi Electric open the company’s first thin-film silicon solar Samsung sb-lsm80 cell developers in the February 16, 2010 in Tokyo’s “R & D results conference”. the conversion efficiency of the current trial of 5mm square thin-film silicon solar cells and stability of processing is 14.8%. Mitsubishi Electric says with confidence, “the results of the same area near the KANEKA products have a 15% efficiency.” Measurements for the Mitsubishi Electric to implement, practical, date not yet determined.


Mitsubishi Electric The trial of the thin-film silicon solar cells for Sony np-fh100 , equipped with a three-layer absorption of the different layers of power generation. The specific materials used in layers not made public, but the combination of amorphous silicon-like materials and micro-crystalline silicon-like material.


To achieve 14.8% Sony np-f330 battery conversion efficiency to contribute to that loss levels can be reduced component design techniques and to enhance sealing effect of light transparent conductive film of the bump forming technology. These technologies are using semiconductor and LCD panel technology to develop.


The thin-film silicon solar Sony np-qm91 cells by the end of 2007 from the cutting-edge technology in the Mitsubishi Electric Research Institute (Amagasaki City) began to develop. Laboratory equipment, maximum 90mm square prototype thin-film silicon solar cells. The company plans to further expand the area in the future and improve conversion efficiency.



In Japan, large-scale solar cell makers, Sharp and Sanyo Electric are being in mass production, or production-ready thin-film silicon solar cells. Kyocera and Mitsubishi Electric are that “thin-film silicon solar cells is more than the superiority of silicon-based solar cells”, so has been dedicated to developing silicon-based solar cells. This time, the Mitsubishi Electric made public thin-film silicon solar Dell inspiron e1705 battery on the concrete development results in the future, Kyocera’s move will be more concern.

Dali polycrystalline silicon thin film solar cel

Dali polycrystalline silicon thin film solar cell


20090416094424778


Dali, Yunnan Province of China Hi-tech industrial development area and source of Chang High-Tech (Holdings) Limited branch signed polysilicon thin film solar photovoltaic project investment function, sign function, 500 million US With the formal end of the dollar high-tech investment projects was held in Dali settled dell kd186 battery.


Zhouweishuji signature ceremony, Deputy Secretary of State speech Gujarat Ping, Ping on behalf of the Governor presided over the signing ceremony.


It is understood that Dali polycrystalline silicon thin film solar photovoltaic project, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “Bonn Yunnan province, before the international advanced high-tech projects approximately 500 million U.S. dollars, an annual production output of 40MW production line put the project The total investment in early stage project with “about 40.92 million US Approximate annual gross profit of $ 80 million U.S. dollars and the annual sales income tax may feel, about all the projects into production of 122.76 million US Approximate annual gross profit of $ 240 million U.S. dollars and the annual sales income tax may feel. Project Asia’s largest production base will become thin polysilicon film dell vostro 1320 battery production.


U.S. The selection of five research projects funded Capital Energy Department over 17.2 million U.S. dollars in order to plug the major obstacles in the commercialization of hybrid electric vehicles, particularly to reduce the cost of battery and increase battery life arrived. Five research projects with the United States Advanced Battery Consortium to share the money. Battery research and development money in the end of these studies received 38 million US dollars will reach. U.S. Energy Department contract negotiations stage financing plans are finalized and waiting for Congress to grant. Five research projects are expected to start in 2007 and 2009 will continue to have. Money mainly U.S. Ministry of Energy Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Department S (2007 to 2009 for the financial year) will happen.

Acer wants to make Chrome first OS to the netbook market

Acer wants to make Chrome first OS to the netbook market


The development is said to have been since mid-2009 thinkpad x300 battery. The device should be available earlier than the middle of next year. Google has announced its operating system for end of 2010.


Acer wants the first manufacturer to bring a Netbook with OS pre-installed Chrome to the market. In an interview with Digitimes CEO JT Wang said he was confident that his company would achieve this goal thinkpad x200 battery.


As the earliest date for the publication called the Digitimes report in mid 2010. The second largest PC manufacturer in the world is already in mid-2009 have started to develop. According to Google Operating System will be aligned on netbooks released at the end of next year.


Wang did not mention in the interview technical data of the netbooks compaq presario cq60 battery. Google wants Chrome for OS devices larger screens and keyboards than currently available netbooks. In addition, support the Google Operating System x86 and ARM processors and solid state drives, but not conventional hard drives.


Acer is next to Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Toshiba and others, to computer manufacturers that work with Google Chrome on the implementation of OS. Dell, the yet to be heard on the official supporters panasonic cga-s008a/1b battery, recently, an experimental version of Chrome OS released. It is based on the source code provided by Google and runs on Netbook Mini-10v series.
