OpenMP provides a powerful, portable, and simple means of threading applications. In some cases, however, developers should choose the flexibility of native threading APIs. The guidelines in this article help to identify whether OpenMP is an appropriate choice for a given situation. more>

As you know, OpenMP* contains a very powerful set of pragmas that help you parallelize a loop. What you may not know is that OpenMP can be used to thread more than just loops. When the "parallel for" construct falls a little short, OpenMP has additional pragmas, constructs, and function calls that come to the rescue. more>

In a 1965 paper, Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors that could be integrated into a single silicon chip would approximately double every 18 to 24 months. That prediction became widely known as Moore’s Law, and engineers at Intel have been transforming that law into reality for more than 40 years. more>

Controlling the application development process is growing more important as the development and management of composite applications becomes more complex. Whether you are creating new applications or modifying existing ones, managing integration of new components with traditional z/OS® elements is a critical part of building and deploying modern applications. Join us for this complimentary teleconference, and see how IBM can help you optimize your development process using an IDE like WebSphere® Developer for System z™ that integrates with several software configuration management tools, such as IBM SCLM Advanced Edition and Rational ClearCase®. more>

Bijaya Devkota, CIO for the Charles County Public Schools, led the implementation of an Internet Protocol (IP) Communications network that connects the district’s 33 schools, serving approximately 26,000 kids. While Devkota reports the converged voice and data network has saved the school district "thousands of dollars per month" on infrastructure costs, one of the big benefits has been the deployment of a phone-based application that helps with attendance and parental notification. Read more about school and campus computer network solutions and school network administration. more>

Osawatomie High School and Marietta Center for Advanced Academics had two distinct needs for technology. Osawatomie is a rural high school where students had minimal access to resources. Marietta is a middle-class magnet school enrolling third through fi fth graders, created with the vision of endless possibilities of learning and technology. more>

This paper demonstrates that the Sun Fire T1000 server using Solaris Containers technology can be used as an effective Web-tier consolidation platform. The Solaris Containers technology enables multiple web server applications to each run in their own isolated application execution environment on a single server. Resource management tools included with the Solaris Operating System enable resources such as CPUs and memory to be easily allocated to each zone, monitored, and dynamically adjusted to meet changing performance requirements. Using a single operating system can help reduce complexity and grant easier system administration. more>
