Calxeda Launches the EnergyCore Processor; Delivers 10 Times the Performance for the Same Power

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

Calxeda today unveiled its ARM-based EnergyCore Server-on-a-Chip, which consumes as little as 1.5 watts, the industrys first server processor to achieve this milestone. Following HPs announcement to incorporate Calxeda technology in its first-generation of extreme low energy server development platforms, Calxeda is launching EnergyCore at simultaneous events in Palo Alto, CA and Austin, TX. The news and product details, as well as Calxeda partner reaction and perspective, and replays of todays webcast, can be found at http://www.calxeda.com.

The EnergyCore ARM-based SoC launched today will power a completely new breed of servers. Thanks to its mobile phone heritage and patent-pending innovations from Calxeda, the new processor consumes less than one tenth the power of todays most energy efficient server processors and is ideal for workloads such as web serving, Big Data applications, scalable analytics such as Apache Hadoop, media streaming and mid-tier infrastructure such as caching and in-memory scalable databases.

All the stars are in alignment: Web 2.0 data-driven businesses, cloud computing, open source portable software, power consumption at crisis levels and the emergence of server-class performance of ARM processors, said Barry Evans, CEO and co-founder of Calxeda. We believe a new era of energy-efficient servers is now dawning for scale-out workloads, and today we are introducing the foundational architecture that will enable this breakthrough. While we are proud to launch our Calxeda EnergyCore processors, we are even more thrilled with the many partners who are joining us on this journey.

In an industry first, the EnergyCore processor SoC includes a supercomputing-class 80-Gigabit fabric switch and an integrated management engine with power optimization software, all on a single piece of silicon. The EnergyCore SoC also includes a full complement of server I/O features and a large 4MB ECC L2 cache, enabling system vendors, Calxedas customers, to offer a complete server node that consumes only 5 watts, including 4GB of ECC memory and a large capacity SSD.

The HP-designed system contains 288 Calxeda servers in a single 7 inch (4 Rack Unit) chassis, added Evans. A single rack of HPs Calxeda servers delivers the throughput of some 700 traditional servers and dramatically simplifies the infrastructure needed to hook them all together and manage the cluster.

For Web 2.0 companies to continually deliver new and innovative services, they must radically reduce the space, energy consumption and cost of their data center infrastructure, said Glenn Keels, director of product marketing in the Hyperscale Business Unit at HP. HP is incorporating Calxedas EnergyCore SoCs into the HP Redstone Server Development Platform for testing, developing and benchmarking hyperscale applications. Coupled with our HP Discovery Lab and the HP Pathfinder program of industry leaders, we can shape the future of Extreme Low Energy Computing.

Many prospective Calxeda customers attended todays event, including Niall Dalton, Director of High Frequency Trading at Cantor Fitzgerald, who said: Companies in our industry are constrained by space and power, yet our appetite for analysis is insatiable. We need a 10X breakthrough and this could be it. We are evaluating the Calxeda technology in hyperscale throughput computing for data and simulation intensive applications. The Calxeda Linux platform enables rapid porting of our software, enabling us to quickly leverage the energy-efficient ARM cores and Calxeda's scalable communications fabric to scale our applications to new heights.

Calxeda is Re-defining the Server

Calxedas EnergyCore architecture is based on a new model for scale-out computing that is:

Discover Sharon Kleyne Hour - Power of Water on Apple iTunes: A Talk Show that Could Save a Child's Life

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) October 12, 2011

The recent launch of the Apple iPhone 4S gives consumers an opportunity to listen and learn from the Sharon Kleyne Hour - Power of Water talk radio show on Apple iTunes. Each week, Mrs. Kleyne interviews researchers and advocates from around the world on topics such as global water wars, water and climate change; water, diet and nutrition; water and health, and the influence of water on Earth and the Solar System.

Sharon Kleyne, Founder of Bio-Logic Aqua Water Research and international water advocate, is announcing an increased emphasis on e-commerce and retail Internet accounts for Nature's Tears EyeMist, the company's patented, all-natural breakthrough product for dry eye, eye allergies and computer vision syndrome.

The Sharon Kleyne Hour - Power of Water has been syndicated on Apple iTunes since 2008. The show originates on Voice America's World Talk Radio and Green Talk Network (Search: "Sharon Kleyne Hour"). Podcasts may be downloaded from Apple iTunes to any Apple iPhone, SmartPhone, iPod, iPad, Mac computer or MSWindows computer.

Debuting in March, 2007, the Sharon Kleyne Hour - Power of Water was created by producer-host Sharon Kleyne, global water advocate and American woman Founder of Bio-Logic Aqua Research. Mrs. Kleyne's research led her to conclude that there is a global health crisis in dehydration diseases caused by dry and polluted air, fresh water shortages and poor sanitation. Dehydration diseases can include dry eye, dry skin, malaria, diarrhea, melanoma and much more.

By publicizing this water crisis and educating the public, Mrs. Kleyne and her 420 past guests believe that lives can be saved. Sharon has the research background to discuss the global water crisis with leading scientists, politicians and activists worldwide. The show provides the only place where guests can discuss life-or-death concerns to a worldwide audience.

"Women have been carrying water to their villages for thousands of years," says Mrs. Kleyne, "and yet 5,000 children die each day from water related diseases. Even in the United States, our once abundant fresh, clean water is nearly exhausted, the air is becoming dryer, and dry eye is the #1 complaint of eye doctor patients."

Sharon Kleyne is facilitating a new, non-political health culture that will enable people to thrive and be healthy on our changing planet.

Sharon Kleyne Hour's show's 420 past guests include:

*Ula Jurkunas, MD, ophthalmology researcher at Harvard, discussed her breakthrough corneal stem cell and dry eye discoveries.

*DeWayne Cecil, PhD, Scientist for NASA and NOAA, discussed global climate change, water utilization, water on the moon and the influence of Earth's water on the Solar System.

*Effie Chow, PhD, Chinese healing arts practitioner, talked about the Chinese diet, air and fresh water pollution in China, and dry air as a cause of dry eye.

*Rona Tison of Japan's Ito-En Tea (Tea's Tea) talked about 5,000 years of water and tea.

*Gerald Barnes, PhD, forest geneticist, discussed water and forest patterns globally and in New Zealand.

*Rebecca Petris, of http://www.DryEyeZone.com talked about post-Lasik dry eye and her experiences educating individuals who had become suicidal out of fear of blindness from severe chronic dry eye.

*Marguerite McDonald, MD, Lasik surgery pioneer provided education about dry eye.

*Philippe Cousteau, global oceans advocate talked about the world's oceans.

*T. Colin Campbell, PhD, author of "The China Study" discussed the new vegan approach to diet and lifestyle.

*Fred Kirschenmann, PhD, dry land agriculture researcher, described how he grows wheat in North Dakota on four inches of rain a year.

*Steven Solomon, discussed his book, Water: The Epic Struggle for Wealth, Power, and Civilization.

*Robert Weir, environmental journalist, talked about his biography of Earth Day founder John McConnell, and about his trans-global sailing trips.

Guest interviews have originated in the United States, Netherlands, Kenya, Sweden, Thailand, Rome and elsewhere.

In addition to Internet radio podcasts (iTunes Radio Service), Apple iTunes offers movies, books and TV shows through its Apple iStore.
