| Developer's Interface Guide for Itanium® Processor-based Servers |
|
 |
|
| Current development efforts on the Itanium® processor-based server system provide the necessary catalyst to trigger the elimination of holdover technologies. The Developer’s Interface Guide for Itanium® Processor-based Servers (DIG64) provides a well-defined roadmap for the removal of legacy technologies. | |
| This whitepaper discusses some of the networking and communications technologies available for high-end computing systems, and recommends which technologies should be incorporated into Itanium processor-based servers. This whitepaper is one of a series of technical whitepapers supporting the Developer's Interface Guide for Itanium Processor-based Servers (DIG64). | |
| This whitepaper discusses some of the available mass storage technologies for high-end server systems, and recommends which technologies should be incorporated into Itanium processor-based servers. This whitepaper is one of a series of technical whitepapers supporting the Developer’s Interface Guide for Itanium Processor-based Servers (DIG64). | |
| This important new specification is helping designers streamline the development of robust, interoperable server solutions based on the new Intel® Itanium processor and will allow IT professionals to deploy these solutions with increased confidence. Read this whitepaper to see how the DIG64 increases the efficiency of the design process, allows software development to proceed concurrently with the hardware, and makes it easier to transition away from obsolete technologies and take advantage of newer ones. | |
| The Developer ’s Interface Guide for Itanium Processor-based Servers (DIG64) establishes a new industry definition of compatibility for Itanium processor-based server solutions. This management overview provides an overview of the DIG64 and shows how adopting it can help developers manage legacy technologies and get to market fast with robust, interoperable solutions based on the new Intel Itanium processor. | |

| White Paper - Accelerating UNIX* Deployment on Intel®-based Servers | |
| Intel will join with other members of Project UDI to complete development of a Uniform Driver Interface for the UNIX* operating system and will deliver a freeware implementation optimized for the Intel architecture. It's the first step in a broad-based program to help business users combine the economies of scale afforded by Intel-based servers with the reliability advantages of UNIX. | |
| White Paper - UDI and I20™: Complementary Approaches To Portable, High-performance I/O | |
| Input and output devices on computers, such as storage or network adapters, are accessed and controlled by the operating system through device-specific software known as device drivers. Recently, these I/O devices have become more intelligent and sophisticated and, consequently, their drivers have evolved from simple routines into highly complex, multilayered programs. Because each operating system has its own unique I/O system and device interface, hardware vendors have been faced with the challenge of creating a different device driver for each operating system (including each variant of the UNIX* operating system) that they want their devices to support. | |
| Datasheet - UNIX Developer's Interface Guide for Itanium Processor-based Servers | |
| UNIX* is the leading solution for financial and database applications in corporate IT environments. While UNIX historically has been delivered on proprietary server systems , many companies are moving to Intel Architecture systems for use throughout their organizations. Many of these users want the openness and cost-efficiency of Intel-based servers combined with the strengths of UNIX, particularly its reliability and feature performance. | |
