WFTCloud.com Announces a New Service for Customers to Run SAP Applications on Managed Private Cloud













SAP on PRIVATE Cloud


Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

WFTCloud – SAP Certified Cloud Services Partner has announced a new service to enable SAP customers to migrate to lower-cost, Managed Private Cloud Infrastructure.

IT leaders major concern for years is to maintain their IT infrastructure and reduce operation costs when it accounts for 60 per cent of total IT spend. Since things are still uncertain despite the economy showing some signs of improvement, this area of IT “strikes a resonant cord,” says Gartner Inc.

CIO’s today are certainly facing tough economic situations and constantly thriving hard working on IT cost reduction strategies says Ganesh Radhakrishnan, CEO WFTCloud, but economies doesn’t seem to be getting any better. CIO’s are finding themselves at the end of their technological rope he said. Delayed buying decision, have left them with geriatric server, storage and networking infrastructure.

WFTCloud has developed a Private Cloud Solution specifically for SAP that aims to meet those needs. Created collaboratively with SAP and leading vendors in this field, this private cloud solution for SAP can dramatically shorten the time to provision new SAP landscapes from days to hours. What’s more, because it is run in the cloud, the solution can reduce costs while improving scalability, flexibility and recovery of systems.

The service is intended to enhance the performance of systems running SAP applications, improve flexibility, lower costs and use newer SAP technologies, including analytics and mobility. WFT said migrations could be delivered in less than four months at a fixed price.

Cloud computing will help CIO’s to reduce TCO and also scale, provision SAP servers in minutes eliminating IT complexities says Ganesh Radhakrishnan, CEO Wharfedale Technologies (WFTCloud). “Our joint initiative with SAP on Cloud will take us to next level with this strategic Private Cloud Solution,” he said.

The SAP Private Cloud infrastructure of WFT is based on vBlock infrastructure (a joint initiative of Cisco, EMC & VMware). WFT’s deep expertise and understanding of vBlock and the SAP application results in design of an optimal landscape in cloud that not only meets the current business requirements but also makes it much easier to expand resources in future.help architect SAP to run on Private Cloud. WFT executed more than 10+ implementations of vBlock SAP Private cloud in the industry.

“With vBlock vCloud, clients can move SAP applications from large, expensive servers to a smaller, highly efficient virtualized system powered by intel microprocessors in a x86 environment.” said Mahesh Reddy, CTO of WFT.

“The vBlock platform from VCE is a great example of achieving higher performance for SAP at a lower cost,” he said.

Some businesses are uncomfortable moving business-critical SAP systems off-premise to the public cloud, but private cloud systems offer the same efficiency and performance benefits, said Rajeev Menon, Vice President WFTCloud, while providing a level of data security and integrity found with on-premise legacy technologies.

In the case of WFT private cloud solution, WFT will manage the applications and infrastructure being delivered to the client.

The implementation of this infrastructure transformation solution requires a unique combination of skills, experience and capabilities. The intention of this solution is to help customers maximize the performance, scalability and provision SAP systems on-demand.

Ruffo Caselli, Italian Painter of Microprocessors, Plans to Show Work in United States

Ruffo Caselli, Italian Painter of Microprocessors, Plans to Show Work in United States











New York, NY (PRWEB) February 6, 2007

Maestro Ruffo Caselli, from Ovada in Italy, is planning to exhibit his canvases in the United States.

Those who know Ruffo Caselli, the well-known abstract artist, usually describe him as polite, reserved, and above all, the painter of microprocessors.

Now aged seventy-four, after more than 120 important exhibitions, Ruffo Caselli is respected by the entire artistic community. He spends his days painting, in oil, the circuits and microprocessors that have become his own very distinctive trademark comparable to Amedeo Modigliani’s long necks and Lucio Fontana’s torn canvases.

As long ago as the 60s, his work showed an intuition that was prophetic. It depicted a world inhabited by microchips that controlled every aspect of life, substituting real-life with a vision of a mutating humanity that bore an increasing resemblance to the ever-present and all-knowing microprocessors and showed a freedom of expression, fuelled by his perception of modern life that was second-to-none. “I started painting when I was four and I haven’t stopped since,” he says, “my art is my life”.

He expresses his views on life with a style that is both elegant and unmistakable, encapsulating the advances of modern technology with a finesse that reflects his powers of observation. Microprocessors are the heroes of his canvases, heroes that might almost belong to a forthcoming superior civilization that is biding its time in silence as it observes what we are doing and guides us towards the future.

His art has evolved in tandem with technology in a journey that started with the invention of integrated circuits at the end of the 50s; moved through bar codes and on to the microchips of today, which he endows with the capacity to adapt to the ever-changing needs of man and his psyche.

The power of the message he is sending is softened by the inclusion of relaxed and ageless figures in an almost theatrical composition that sometimes brings to mind the great heroes of the classics or the chorus of a Greek tragedy.

He paints instinctively, and whether he fills his canvasses with disappointment or enthusiasm, they are all an affirmation of freedom.

The circuits, antennae and transistors he so carefully included in the background may once have been considered artistic eccentricity but today they are what identify him. Thirty years ago, there were those that smiled at his canvasses full of scenes littered with electronic wizardry, but today we would be lost without our cell-phones, palmtops, USB keys, digital cameras…

“Technology is the final frontier, a machine that is just like us. We have already created robots that resemble us and now we are even starting to think like computers,” says Ruffo Caselli, ever faithful to the views he first expressed half a century ago. “Who knows, maybe one day microprocessors will be creating us”.

Crossware Enhances ColdFire Suite With Support for Freescale MCF547X/8X Chips

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

Crossware Enhances ColdFire Suite With Support for Freescale MCF547X/8X Chips










CAMBRIDGE, UK (PRWEB) February 12, 2005

Crossware (http://www.crossware.com), a leading embedded software tools developer, has enhanced its ColdFire® Development Suite by adding support for Freescale Semiconductor�s MCF547x and MCF548x ColdFire microprocessors.

The MCF547x and MCF548x are high speed microprocessors based on the advanced V4e ColdFire Core. All microprocessors in the range have a wide range of connectivity peripherals, a memory management unit, a dual precision floating point unit (FPU) and an enhanced multiply and accumulate unit (eMAC).

The Crossware Suite includes a separate C header file for each microprocessor in the range. This ensures that the developer has access only to the structures that are relevant to the chosen microprocessor and cannot therefore inadvertently write code for a peripheral that the chosen microprocessor does not have.

The Crossware C compiler generates code that takes full advantage of the FPU and the Crossware simulator fully simulates both the FPU, including FPU exceptions, and the eMAC. This enables developers to run code that uses these units both with and without hardware.

CrosswareÂ?s FireFly USB BDM (background debug mode) interface has also been enhanced to handle features that are specific to FreescaleÂ?s System-on-Module (SOM) Fire Engine boards for these chips. This includes the programming of IntelÂ?s advanced K3 Strataflash memory chips.

Crossware is a leading developer of programmer-friendly C cross compilers and other development tools for embedded systems based on the 8051, ColdFire, 68000, CPU32 and other chip families. Host environments include Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The company, founded by Alan Harry in 1984, is headquartered in the UK at Litlington on the outskirts of Cambridge. CrosswareÂ?s products are used throughout the world by professional developers, educational establishments and hobbyists.

For more information about the ColdFire Development Suite or any product from Crossware, please contact Alan Harry, Crossware, Old Post House, Silver Street, Litlington, Royston, Herts, SG8 0QE, UK, tel: + 44 (0) 1763 853500 or fax + 44 (0) 1763 853330, alan@crossware.com.

Time-Triple Modular RedundancyÂ? SEU Correction Technology Validated in Proton Radiation Environment










SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2004

Space Micro Inc. today announces their successful completion of proton radiation validation of its Time-Triple Modular RedundancyÂ? (or TTMRÂ?) technology used in correction of single event upsets in advanced microprocessors. Space Micro completed two proton radiation test sequences at UC Davis Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, using 51 MeV protons irradiating a Texas Instrument 320C6713 digital signal processor and an Equator Technologies BSP-15 microprocessor. These radiation tests verified TTMRÂ? was able to detect and correct single event upsets within both microprocessors. TTMRÂ? combines Â?timeÂ? and Â?spatialÂ? redundancy within a Very Long Instruction Word microprocessor or DSP to achieve its unique SEU mitigation capabilities, allowing satellite and space designers the opportunity to design with very advanced, commercial microprocessors.

Â?We are very pleased to have shown our new and innovative TTMRÂ? technology to be successful in detecting and correcting single event upsets in commercial microprocessorsÂ?, said David Czajkowski, COO for Space Micro. Â?We believe TTMRÂ? provides the industry with a new and potentially revolutionary technology to advance the performance of microprocessors in the satellite industry.Â?

Space MicroÂ?s Proton100kÂ? and Proton200kÂ? computers incorporate its patent pending, TTMRÂ? technology for single event upset (SEU) correction. An additional single event functional interrupt (SEFI) mitigation technology, called Hardened CoreÂ?, is also incorporated into both computer products. Evidence of the potential of TTMRÂ? can be seen in the Proton100kÂ? and Proton200Â? radiation hardened satellite products, which provide 1,200 MIPS and 4,000 MIPS (respectively) performance at 1E-4 unrecoverable upsets per day in typical satellite applications.

About Space Micro Inc.

Microprocessor

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Microprocessor technology is progressing so rapidly that even experts in the field are having trouble keeping up with current advances.  As more competition develops in this 0 billion a year business, power and speed of the microprocessor is expanding at an almost explosive rate.  The changes have been most evident over the last decade.  The microprocessor has changed the way computers work by making them faster.  The microprocessor is often called the brain of the C.P.U.(or the central processing unit)and without the microprocessor the computer is more or less useless.  Motorola and Intel have invented most of the microprocessors over the last decade.  Over the years their has been a constant battle over cutting edge technology.  In the 80′s Motorola won the battle, but now in the 90′s it looks as Intel has won the war.

The microprocessor 68000 is the original microprocessor(Encarta 95).  It  was invented by Motorola in the early 80′s. The 68000 also had two very distinct qualities like 24-bit physical addressing and a 16-bit data bus.  The original Apple Macintosh ,released in 1984, had the 8-MHz found at the core of it.  It was also found in the Macintosh Plus, the original Macintosh SE, the Apple Laser-Writer IISC, and the Hewlett- Packard’s LaserJet printer family.  The 68000 was very efficient for its time for example it could address 16 megabytes of memory, that is 16 more times the memory than the Intel 8088 which was found in the IBM PC .  Also the 68000 has a linear addressing architecture which was better than the 8088′s segmented memory architecture because it made making large applications more straightforward.

The 68020 was invented by Motorola in the mid-80′s(Encarta 95).  The 68020 is about two times as powerful as the 68000.  The 68020 has 32-bit addressing and a 32-bit data bus and is available in various speeds like 16MHz, 20MHz, 25MHz, and 33MHz. The microprocessor 68020 is found in the original Macintosh II and in the LaserWriter IINT both of which are from Apple.

The 68030 microprocessor was invented by Motorola about a year after the 68020 was released(Encarta 95). The 68030 has 32-bit addressing and a 32-bit data bus just like it’s previous model, but it has paged memory management built into it, delaying the need for additional chips to provide that function.  A 16-MHz version was used in the Macintosh IIx, IIcx, and SE/30.  A 25-MHz model was used in the Mac IIci and the NeXT computer.  The 68030 is produced in various versions like the 20-MHz, 33MHz, 40-MHz, and 50MHz.

The microprocessor 68040 was invented by Motorola(Encarta 95).  The 68040 has a 32-bit addressing and a 32-bit data bus just like the previous two microprocessors.  But unlike the two previous microprocessors this one runs at 25MHz and includes a built-in floating point unit and memory management units which includes 4-KB instruction and data coaches.  Which just happens to eliminate the need additional chips to provide these functions.  Also the 68040 is capable of parallel instruction execution by means of multiple independent instruction pipelines,  multiple internal buses, and separate caches for both data and instructions.

The microprocessor 68881 was invented by Motorola for the use with both microprocessor 68000 and the 68020(Encarta 95).  Math coprocessors, if supported by the application software, would speed up any function that is math-based.  The microprocessor 68881 does this by additional set of instructions for high-proformance floating point arithmetic, a set of floating-point data registers, and 22 built-inconstants including p and powers of 10.  The microprocessor 68881 conforms to the ANSI/IEEE 754- 1985 standard for binary floating-point arithmetic.  When making the Macintosh II, Apple noticed that when they added a 68881, the improvement in performance of the interface, and thus the apparent performance was changed dramatically.  Apple then decided to add it as standard equipment.

The microprocessor 80286, also called the 286was invented by Motorola in 1982(Encarta 95).  The 286 was included in the IBM PC/AT and compatible computers in 1984.  The 286 has a 16-bit resister, transfers information over the data bus 16 bits at a time, and use 24 bits to address memory location.  The 286 was able to operate in two modes real (which is compatible with MS-DOS and limits the 8086 and 8088 chips) and protected ( which increases the microprocessor’s functionality).  Real mode limits the amount of memory the microprocessor can address to one megabyte; in protected mode, however the addressing access is increased and is capable of accessing up to 16 megabytes of memory directly.  Also, an 286 microprocessor in protected mode protects the operating system from mis-behaved applications that could normally halt (or “crash”) a system with a non-protected microprocessor such as the 80286 in real mode or just the plain old 8088.

The microprocessor 80386dx also called the 386 or the 386dx was invented in 1985(Encarta 95).  The 386 was used in IBM and compatible microcomputers such as the PS/2 Model 80.  The 386 is a full 32-bit microprocessor, meaning that it has a 32-bit resister, it can easily transfer information over its data bus 32 bits at a time, and it can use 32 bits in addressing memory.  Like the earlier 80286, the 386 operates in two modes, again real (which is compatible with MS-DOS and limits the 8086 and 8088 chips) and protected ( which increases the microprocessor’s functionality and protects the operating system from halting because of an inadvertent application error.)  Real mode limits the amount of memory the microprocessor can address to one megabyte; in protected mode, however the total amount of memory that the 386 can address directly is 4 gigabytes, that is roughly 4 billion bytes.  The 80386dx also has a virtual mode, which allows the operating systems to effectively divide the 80386dx into several 8086 microprocessors each having its own 1-megabyte space, allowing each “8086″ to run its own program.

The microprocessor 80386sx also called the 386sx was invented by Intel in 1988 as a low-cost alternative to the 80386DX(Encarta 95). The 80386SX is in essence an 80386DX processor limited by a 16-bit data bus. The 16-bit design allows 80386SX systems to be configured from less expensive AT-class parts, ensuring a much lower complete system price. The 80386SX offers enhanced performance over the 80286 and access to software designed for the 80386DX. The 80386SX also offers 80386DX comforts such as multitasking and virtual 8086 mode.

The microprocessor 80387SX also called the 387SX was invented by Intel(Encarta 95).  A math, or floating-point, coprocessor from Intel for use with the 80386SX family of microprocessors.  The 387sx is available in a 16-MHz version only, the 80387SX, if supported by the application software, can dramatically improve system performance by offering arithmetic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic instructions for the application to use-instructions not offered in the 80386SX instruction set. The 80387SX also offers perfect operations for sine, cosine, tangent, arctangent, and logarithm calculations. If used, these additional instructions are carried out by the 80387SX, freeing the 80386SX to perform other tasks. The 80387SX is capable of working with 32- and 64-bit integers, 32-, 64-, and 80-bit floating-point numbers, and 18-digit BCD (binary coded decimal) operands; it coincides to the ANSI/IEEE 754-1985 standard for binary floating-point arithmetic.

The 80387SX operates individually on the 80386SX’s mode, and it performs as expected regardless of whether the 80386SX is running in real, protected, or virtual 8086 mode.

The microprocessor mi486 also called the 80486 or the 486 was invented in 1989 by Intel(Encarta 95). Like its 80386 predecessor, the 486 is a full-bit processor with 32-bit registers, 32-bit data bus, and 32-bit addressing. It includes several enhancements, however, including a built-in cache controller, the built-in equivalent of an 80387 floating- point coprocessor, and provisions for multiprocessing. In addition, the 486 uses a “pipeline” execution scheme that breaks instructions into multiple stages, resulting in much higher performance for many common data and integer math operations.

In conclusion it is evident by the following that microprocessors are developing at leaps and bounds and it is not surprising that if by the time it hits the teacher’s desk or by the time you read this the next superchip will be developed(Encarta 95).
