Microsoft: Vista Follow-up Likely in 2009

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin Center) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:17:00 +0000

Microsoft is now drawing up plans to deliver its follow-up client operating system by the end of 2009, according to a company executive.
With Vista just out the door, Microsoft Corp. is now drawing up plans to deliver its follow-up client operating system by the end of 2009, according to the executive in charge of building the product's core components.
That would be a much faster turn-around than Vista, which shipped more than five years after Windows XP, but Vista was exceptional, said Ben Fathi, corporate vice president of development with Microsoft's Windows Core Operating System Division this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.

Microsoft originally planned for its XP follow-up to include a number of radical changes to Windows, including a new file system and a reinvented user interface, but after the company's products were hit by widespread worm outbreaks in 2003, Microsoft redirected almost its entire engineering effort to locking down Windows with the XP Service Pack 2 release.
"We put Longhorn on the back burner for awhile," Fathi said. "Then when we came back to it, we realized that there were incremental things that we wanted to do, and significant improvements that we wanted to make in Vista that we couldn't deliver in one release."
Vista shipped about two-and-a-half years after XP SP 2, and Vista's follow-up is expected to take about the same amount of time, according to Fathi. "You can think roughly two, two-and-a-half years is a reasonable time frame that our partners can depend on and can work with," he said. "That's a good time frame for refresh."
That time line would put Microsoft's next client operating system out by the end of 2009.
Last year, Microsoft said that the code name for this Vista follow-up is Vienna, but Fathi said he could not disclose the current name. "We've been told not to use it publicly," he said.
So what will be the coolest new feature in Vienna?
According to Fathi, that's still being worked out. "We're going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don't know what it is," he said. "Maybe it's a new user interface paradigm for consumers."
"It's too early for me to talk about it," he added. "But over the next few months I think you're going to start hearing more and more."

Demigod is a great game. Some say it does not have single player, but they are wrong. Just set up a skirmish and take on A.I.-controlled opponents, which are tough to defeat on Nightmare difficulty. Some say that the glitches in setting up over the Internet multiplayer are taking away from the game by denying players the possibility to play against other humans. Just jump into a LAN game, set up the various options and jump right in. It's a well designed experience, with balanced Demigods, cool objects to buy, interesting spell powers, and ever changing tactics. It's too bad that Stardock and Gas Powered Games experienced teething problems when it came to putting up the infrastructure for the title.

Gameplay

This is a real time strategy title where you only control one unit, or a handful of them, and where you level up your main guy and equip items in order to become more powerful. The re-invention of the genre is as courageous as that attempted by Relic's Dawn of War II (in fact, the description above can be safely applied to both games) but it moves in somewhat different directions. If in Dawn of War II, you change load outs and level up outside of missions, which are short and have one boss fight, in Demigod, you level up and buy items inside the missions and you can get to kill or be killed by another Demigod dozens of times in one match. Of course, there are other units on the map but they are cannon fodder that die rather easily and rarely influence the tide of the battle.

Adjust the time options Sucking blood

And it's very, very deep. There are two types of Demigods. Assassins are tough attacking and have no minions, while Generals are less powerful but can get some minions. Each of the Demigods levels up as he/she gains experience and you can
invest points in various abilities, getting new spells, becoming more
powerful on the attack or defensive or increasing mana and hit points. You rarely max out all the skills of one Demigod in one match, as the experience needed to reach the higher levels is enormous. So, the first tactical decision a player needs to make is what to develop. Of course, you don't know what the enemy Demigods are choosing to level up, so it's a blind choice, with only the direct engagements showing who is tougher and whether you have made the best choices.

In addition to leveling up your Demigod, you can buy items, which range from mana and health potions to armour, hats and boots. There are five slots for a character and, if you want, you can take five sets of boots into battles. Items can be invaluable in order to minimize the impact of the weaknesses of the Demigod that you play (like getting speed boots for the Rook) but they cost gold. So, buying them must be balanced with getting upgrades for your Fortress, which can turn the tide of battle but also depends on the level of the building itself, but also with getting Artifacts, which are even more powerful items that cost even more.

Are those enough choices for you? Consider the fact that, in bigger matches, different Demigods can combine their powers in order to increase their effects quite dramatically and that, in the options for each match, you can tweak things like the speed of the game, the strength of reinforcements and the durability of towers. These can dramatically influence both the length of the game and the relative power of the various Demigods. Personally, I prefer the Unclean Beast, as a Demigod killer, especially because of his speed, and the Oak, as a general, transferring some of the effects of the kills to his minions. The problem in general with the Demigods that can lead minions is that they need to make sure that they get the top tier underlings in order to extract the most use out of them.

Some reviewers have aptly described the role of the Demigods in the game as one of a “plumber” who needs to make sure that the attacks launched from the citadel reach the enemy’s main structure. Assassin or General, melee-focused or spell-oriented, it does not matter how you do it, as long as you keep the enemy characters at bay while also taking out the towers and structures that are protecting the main base.

Demigod emblem One of my favorites

Graphics and audio

If you turn all the options up to maximum, Demigod looks great, with effects attached to the movement of the characters, the fighting and especially to the various spells that the Demiogs can cast. You can zoom out as far as you want, checking out the whole battlefield and assessing the strategic situation or you can zoom in close to see your Rook swathing enemies left and right with every hit. On gripe I have with the interface is that you can't move around using the mini map in the upper left side. The developers probably thought that moving around the battlefield would be done while zoomed out but old real time strategy habits, like using the mini map to move around, die hard.

Sound-wise, Demigod does almost everything right, from the uplifting score of the menu screen to the fighters’ screaming in the matches and the sounds of the powers that are being deployed. Some issues are reported regarding sound card setups, but it's nothing generalized.

Multiplayer

Some say that Demigod is too multiplayer-oriented and that only playing the single player content does not justify the (already reduced) price of the title. Their arguments are the lack of a single player campaign and the limited attraction generated by the Tournament mode. Well, that's just not true. Another Stardock hit, Sins of a Solar Empire, has no single player campaign and only a limited backstory. Still, players created their own narratives tied to the three factions and generated enough sales for the game to get developer Ironclad working on mini expansions for it. Consider the fact that there are eight Demigods, each with an extensive background, and that, by using your imagination, you can easily craft a narrative around their struggles to reach godhood. Single player is crucial to Demigod, as it allows people to see what each of the Demigods has to offer in terms of powers and tactics and permits strategies to be perfected before getting into LAN and online play.

As far as multiplayer goes, Demigod has had some issues on release, mostly due to the broken street date and to piracy, but most of them seem to be resolved. Matches are epic, with ten players joining in huge battles that require quick reflexes but also good team coordination. Because of the way powers from the various characters can complement each other, players need to communicate and work together to bring down enemies. The various customization options available between matches (be sure to check out how the game is set up to avoid any surprises related to death countdowns or tower strengths) are also available in multiplayer and can change the dynamics of each game. Apart from the connectivity issues, which are inherent to a multiplayer component and, apparently, exacerbated by the reliance on a peer to peer connection model, the big drawback for multiplayer matches is that the best ones are quite long. In today's time-starved world, you really have to clear a couple of hours in order to really get into a Demigod match.

The game is peer to peer and that's both a blessing and a curse. It's peer to peer because this is faster and means that you get to see how the Mist ability takes away health from the enemies instead of pushing the button and seeing that the enemy was somewhere else at the moment when they activated that. But because it is peer to peer, some players have reported issues regarding the way their network connections need to be set up in order to make Demigod work. The game is now moving to a hybrid architecture, which also supports a client server connection, so these issues should be solved (for more information, you can check out the official forums).

Conclusion

Demigod has had quite a rough time since release but it's a superb achievement, taking a concept from Defense of the Ancients and creating a deeper and more polished experience around it. As long as you have a good Internet connection, some buddies to battle with or against and wish to customize a Demigod in a myriad of ways, you can safely buy it. The big drawbacks are the rather steep learning curve, generated by the big array of options, accentuated by the lack of a tutorial and the connectivity issues that some players are still reporting, although Stardock has rolled out several patches and beefed up its network infrastructure.

But players who love choices, tactical combat and action tactics games can safely wait a bit and get the game, maybe with the help of Impulse sales, to play some of the single player content and get familiarized with the Demigods. If you do like what you see up to this point, then you can jump online or into LAN play and slay Demigods together with other people. By the time this review is out, most of the network problems should have been solved, so the experience will not be spoiled in any way.

Updates
Security patches
* MS09-006/KB958690 — Critical (XP, Vista, 2000, 2003, 2008): I cannot recall the last time I saw a bug in the Windows Kernel itself, but this patch fixes one. This particular bug allows attackers to remotely execute code via a specially crafted EMF or WMF image. You should install this patch immediately. This affects 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, including Server Core.
* MS09-007/KB960225 — Important (XP, Vista, 2000, 2003, 2008): This patch closes a bug in SChannel (Secure Channel) that an attacker can use to perform spoofing. To exploit this bug, the attacker needs access to the certificate that the end user has for authentication, which is why it is lowered to “Important.” This is not the worst bug in history, but you will want to install this patch when convenient. This affects 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, including Server Core.
* MS09-008/KB961063/KB961064 – Important (2000, 2003, 2008): The DNS and WINS servers in Windows Server have a vulnerability that could allow someone to mess with the lookups; from there, all sorts of mischief can occur, such as swapping google.com to some undesirable Web site. Install this patch on any server running DNS or WINS that an attacker might have access to. You will want to read the KB article 961063 for details on resource consumption before installing this patch for DNS servers; WINS servers are not affected by resource consumption increases. This affects 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server, including Server Core.
Other updates
* “The Usual Suspects”: Updates to the Malicious Software Removal Tool and Junk Email filters.
* Changed, but not significantly: Windows Vista SP 1 for x64, Autorun disabling.

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin Center) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 06:11:00 +0000

The good:
Its performance is on a par with that of current dual-card CrossFire and SLI setups; first card out with support for DirectX 10 and next-gen gaming features; amazing value proposition.

The bad:
Price is still out of reach for many would-be upgraders.

The bottom line:
The step-down GeForce 8800 GTS is no slouch compared to Nvidia's flagship GTX card. Like its powerful big brother, the slightly more affordable GTS supplies top-notch performance and sweeping architectural changes that provide a solid foundation today for the OSs and games of tomorrow.

If a $600 graphics card isn't in this year's budget, a $450 card might not sound much better. The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS, however, is the cheapest DirectX 10-compatible GPU on the market. Lower-end cards are sure to be released in the coming months, but Nvidia has initially launched two: the flagship GeForce 8800 GTX and the slightly more budget-friendly GTS. When you consider that a single GeForce 8800 GTS card keeps up with or surpasses dual-card setups a la ATI CrossFire and Nvidia SLI, with their combined cost of roughly $1,000, the GTS's $450 price suddenly sounds like a steal. And the performance comparisons we're making today against ATI's cards and Nvidia's previous-generation 7900 family are with DirectX 9 and OpenGL games. For the performance this card shows today, plus the promise it holds for Windows Vista and the DirectX 10 games on tap for next year, the GeForce 8800 GTS--like the GTX did yesterday--earns our Editors' Choice award.

The biggest architectural change the GeForce 8800 cards introduce isn't the usual generational move to a smaller manufacturing process--both are 90nm cards like those of the GeForce 7900 family--but, rather, Nvidia's new unified architecture. Instead of dedicated pixel shaders and dedicated vertex shaders, the GeForce 8800 cards feature what Nvidia calls stream processors, which can be dynamically allocated to vertex, pixel, geometry, or physics calculations. The result is a more efficient use of the GPU's resources and fewer processing pipelines sitting idle. The 8800 GTS features 96 stream processors, each clocked at 1.20GHz, to the GTX's total of 128.
To its advantage, the 8800 GTS card requires less power than the GTX. Nvidia recommends at least a 450-watt power supply for a single GTX card and 400 watts for the GTS. Another potentially big difference between the two cards, depending on your current power supply: The GTS requires only a single connection to your power supply; the GTX needs two. Lastly, the GTS is also shorter than the rather lengthy GTX.

Now, let's talk about the performance. The GeForce 8800 GTS turned in a strong showing. On 3DMark, the 8800 GTS trailed the GTX card by 19 percent and finished between our SLI and CrossFire configurations and the single-card Radeon X1950 XTX and GeForce 7900 GTX setups--a somewhat predictable and not earth-shattering result. Most impressively, however, it finished ahead of dual-card Nvidia SLI and ATI CrossFire configurations on Need for Speed: Carbon, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Company of Heroes. The Radeon X1950 XT in CrossFire mode topped the 8800 GTS on Half-Life 2, Quake 4, and F.E.A.R. That a single card that costs less than half of two Radeon X1950 XT cards was able to post faster frame rates on three of our six games tests--on current-generation games--speaks to the raw power of the card, to say nothing of its advanced features, which will really kick in with DirectX 10 next year.

The power of the GeForce 8800 platform is also evident at high resolutions with antialiasing and check anisotropic filtering enabled. Take, for example, the Half-Life 2: Episode One test, which is run at a resolution of 2,048x1,536. Like the 8800 GTX, the GTS card showed very little drop off when AA was increased to 16X, while the frame rates for the SLI and CrossFire configurations were cut in half or more.

Once again, thanks to GameSpot for testing the cards and providing us with the results. For more, please see GameSpot's GeForce 8800 coverage.

So, if you're sold on the GeForce 8800 family, the question remains: GTX or GTS? For the gamer concerned with bragging rights, an extra $150 is an easy expense to justify. For the rest of you, we'll say that unless you own or expect to soon purchase a 30-inch LCD, the 8800 GTS will more than meet your 3D gaming and Vista-with-Aero-effects needs. Only at very high resolutions with advanced features dialed up will you begin to see the GTX card begin to flex its added muscle. Of course, the demands of tomorrow's DirectX 10 games are unknown. Right now, however, it looks like you can't go wrong with either card. It's not often that we slap an Editors' Choice on one let alone the first two next-gen graphics cards. But Nvidia's GeForce 8800 family ushers in such sweeping improvements that each card merits the award.

Finally, ATI has been mum on its next-gen DirectX 10 cards (code-named R600), which are rumored to make their debut right around when Vista hits in January 2007. Looks like ATI has its work cut out for itself in what promises to be a doubly important introduction, as it will be the first major new GPU architecture released under AMD's ownership.

Intel® Nehalem Microarchitecture

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin Center) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 06:47:00 +0000

Introducing a New Dynamically and Design-
Scalable Microarchitecture that Rewrites the
Book On Energy Efficiency and Performance
Since the introduction of Intel® Core™ microarchitecture in 2006
and its 45nm enhancements—the 45nm next generation Intel
Core microarchitecture (Penryn family of processors) in 2007—the
blistering performance and energy efficiency of Intel® microprocessors
has delivered unprecedented capability to end users.
Now in 2008, a new microarchitecture code named Nehalem
stands to further build on these microarchitectural marvels,
rewriting the book on processor energy efficiency, performance,
and scalability.

The first chapter is all about scalability. Next generation Intel®
microarchitecture (Nehalem) is a dynamically scalable and designscalable
microarchitecture. At runtime, it dynamically manages
cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power to deliver outstanding
energy efficiency and performance on demand. At design time, it
scales, enabling Intel to easily provide versions that are optimized
for each server, desktop, and notebook market. Intel will deliver
versions differing in the number of cores, caches, interconnect
capability, and memory controller capability, as well as in the
segmented use of an integrated graphics controller. This allows
Intel to deliver a wide range of price, performance, and energy
efficiency targets for servers, workstations, desktops, and laptops.
To extract greater performance from this new microarchitecture,
in targeted market segments, Intel is also introducing a new
platform architecture: Intel® QuickPath Architecture. Through
integrated memory controllers and a high-speed interconnect for
connecting processors and other components, Intel QuickPath
Architecture delivers best-in-class performance, bandwidth, and
reliability. In turn, it truly enables systems to fully unleash the
new levels of performance that new and more powerful next
generation microarchitecture-based processor cores will deliver.
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) marks the
next step (a “tock”) in Intel’s rapid “tick-tock” cadence for
delivering a new process technology (tick) or an entirely new
microarchitecture (tock) every year. The first Nehalem-based
processors are expected to release in the latter part of 2008.
The family will grow to include server, workstation, desktop, and
mobile processors.
Unlocking All the Power of Intel’s 45nm Hi-k
Metal Gate Process Technology
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) has been
designed from the ground up to capitalize on all the advantages
of Intel’s industry-leading 45-nanometer (nm) Hi-k metal gate
silicon technology. This new process technology is one of the
biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design in 40
years. It uses a new material combination of Hi-k gate dielectrics
and conductors to enable Intel to continue record-breaking PC,
laptop, and server processor performance while reducing the
electrical leakage from transistors that can hamper chip and PC
design, size, power consumption, and costs.
Intel’s 45nm Hi-k silicon process technology increases transistor
switching speeds to enable higher core and bus clock frequencies
and thus more performance in the same power and thermal
envelope. This performance efficiency is helping Intel extend
Moore’s Law (a high-tech industry axiom that transistor counts
double about every two years to deliver ever more functionality
at exponentially decreasing cost) well into the next decade.

An Overview of Intel’s New Microarchitecture
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) is the next
step in Intel’s continuing success in leading the industry in
processor performance and energy efficiency. In fact, it represents
another big leap in performance and energy efficiency,
similar to the leap made by Intel Core microarchitecture over
the first 90nm Intel® Pentium® M processors.
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) continues
Intel’s philosophy of focusing on improvements in how the
processor uses available clock cycles and power, rather than just
pushing up ever higher clock speeds and energy needs. The goal
is to do more in the same power envelope—or even reduced
envelopes. In turn, like its Intel Core microarchitecture predecessor,
next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) includes the
ability to process up to four instructions per clock cycle on a
sustained basis compared to just three instructions per clock
cycle or less processed by other processors. However, the next
generation microarchitecture’s biggest innovations come from
new optimizations of the individual cores and the overall
multi-core microarchitecture to increase single-thread and multithread
performance.
The next generation microarchitecture’s performance
and power management innovations include:
• Dynamically managed cores, threads, cache, interfaces,
and power.
• Simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) for enabling a more energy
efficient means of increasing performance for multi-threaded
workloads. The next generation microarchitecture’s SMT
capability enables running two simultaneous threads per
core—an amazing eight simultaneous threads per quad-core
processor and 16 simultaneous threads for dual-processor
quad-core designs.
• Innovative extensions to the Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions
4 (SSE4) that center on enhancing XML, string, and text
processing performance.
• Superior multi-level cache, including an inclusive shared
L3 cache.
• New high-end system architecture that delivers from two
to three times more peak bandwidth and up to four times more
realized bandwidth (depending on configuration) as compared
to today’s Intel® Xeon® processors.
• Performance-enhanced dynamic power management.
On the design side, next generation Intel microarchitecture
(Nehalem) enables optimal price/performance/energy efficiency
for each market segment through:
• Scalable performance for from one-to-16 (or more) threads
and from one-to-eight (or more) cores.
• Scalable and configurable system interconnects and integrated
memory controllers.
• High-performance integrated graphics engine for client platforms.
Let’s look at how next generation microarchitecture’s dynamically
scalable and design-scalable directly contribute to power
efficiency and performance.
Power Efficiency
In the past, when a computer’s energy efficiency wasn’t a
concern, nearly every architecture feature that could improve
processor performance would be included without worrying
about the power cost. But in an age of increasing concern for
limited resources and increased energy costs, every segment
(server, workstation, desktop, and mobile) is power-constrained
and designing a microarchitecture requires a different approach.
Processor manufacturers must consider the power cost whether
the processor is intended for the home, data center, or ultra-light
laptop. Consequently, Intel weighed every architectural feature
added to the next generation microarchitecture against a strict
power/performance efficiency threshold. If the feature couldn’t
add more than a one percent performance gain vs. one percent
power gain for a less than three percent power cost, Intel wouldn’t
add it. By measuring the benefit of the performance gain against
the power cost, Intel was able to design the next generation
microarchitecture to deliver greater power efficiency at any
power envelope.

Performance Improvement Features
With the next generation microarchitecture, Intel made significant
core enhancements to further improve the performance of the
individual processor cores. Below we describe some of
these enhancements.
Instructions Per Cycle Improvements. The more instructions that
can be run per each clock cycle, the greater the performance. In
addition, in many cases, by running more instructions in any given
clock cycle, the work task can complete sooner enabling the
processor to more quickly get back into a lower power state. To run
more instructions per cycle, Intel made several key innovations.
• Greater Parallelism. One way to extract more parallelism out
of software code is to increase the amount of instructions
that can be run “out of order.” This enables more simultaneous
processing and overlap latency. To be able to identify more
independent operations that can be run in parallel, Intel increased
the size of the out-of-order window and scheduler, giving them
a wider window from which to look for these operations. Intel
also increased the size of the other buffers in the core to
ensure they wouldn’t become a limiting factor.
• More Efficient Algorithms. With each new microarchitecture,
Intel has included improved algorithms in places where previous
processor generations saw lost performance due to stalls (dead
cycles). Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem)
brings many such improved algorithms to increase performance.
These include:
- Faster Synchronization Primitives: As multi-threaded
software becomes more prevalent, the need to synchronize
threads is also becoming more common. Next generation
Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) speeds up the common
legacy synchronization primitives (such as instructions with
a LOCK prefix or the XCHG instruction) so that existing
threaded software will see a performance boost.
- Faster Handling of Branch Mispredictions: A common
way to increase performance is through the prediction of
branches. Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem)
optimizes the cases where the predictions are wrong, so
that the effective penalty of branch mispredictions overall
is lower than on prior processors.
- Improved Hardware Prefetch and Better Load-Store
Scheduling: Next generation Intel microarchitecture
(Nehalem) continues the many advances Intel made
with the 45nm next generation Intel Core microarchitecture
(Penryn) family of processors in reducing memory
access latencies through prefetch and load-store
scheduling improvements.
Enhanced Branch Prediction. Branch prediction attempts to
guess whether a conditional branch will be taken or not. Branch
predictors are crucial in today’s processors for achieving high
performance. They allow processors to fetch and execute instructions
without waiting for a branch to be resolved. Processors also
use branch target prediction to attempt to guess the target of
the branch or unconditional jump before it is computed by parsing
the instruction itself. In addition to greater performance, an
additional benefit of increased branch prediction accuracy is that it
can enable the processor to consume less energy by spending less
time executing mis-predicted branch paths.
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) uses several
innovations to reduce branch mispredicts that can hinder performance
and to improve the handling of branch mispredicts.
• New Second-Level Branch Target Buffer (BTB). To improve
branch predictions in applications that have large code footprints,
such as database applications, Intel added a second-level branch
target buffer (BTB). BTBs reduce the performance penalty of
branches in pipelined processors by predicting the path of the
branch and caching information used by the branch.
• New Renamed Return Stack Buffer (RSB). RSBs store
forward and return pointers associated with call and return
instructions. Next generation microarchitecture’s renamed RSB
helps avoid many common return instruction mispredictions.
Simultaneous Multi-Threading. For next generation Intel
microarchitecture (Nehalem), Intel introduces an enhanced
version of Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (HT), a technique
used previously on some Intel Pentium and Intel Xeon processors
that enabled a single execution core to run two threads at the
same time. In a multi-core processor, simultaneous multi-threading
doubles the potential number of overall threads that can be run
simultaneously by each of the processors. This means a quad-core
processor could run up to eight threads simultaneously. What’s
unique to next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) is

that its larger cache and larger bandwidth provide even more
opportunities to take advantage of HT.
Incorporating simultaneous multi-threading significantly boosts
performance for very little power cost. It can deliver substantial
performance (up to 20 to 30 percent1) depending on the application
for only a slight amount of power. That makes simultaneous
multi-threading a perfect processor technology for today’s
power-constrained environments.
Intel® Smart Cache Enhancements. Next generation Intel
microarchitecture (Nehalem) enhances the Intel Smart Cache by
adding an inclusive shared L3 (last-level) cache that can be up to
8 MB in size. In addition to this cache being shared across all
cores, the inclusive shared L3 cache can increase performance
while reducing traffic to the processor cores. Some architectures
use exclusive L3 cache, which contains data not stored in other
caches. Thus, if a data request misses on the L3 cache, each
processor core must still be searched, or snooped, in case their
individual caches might contain the requested data. This can
increase latency and snoop traffic between cores. With next
generation microarchitecture, a miss of its inclusive shared L3
cache guarantees the data is outside the processor and thus is
designed to eliminate unnecessary core snoops to reduce latency
and improve performance.
The new three-level cache hierarchy for next generation Intel
microarchitecture (Nehalem) consists of:
• Same L1 cache as Intel Core microarchitecture (32 KB Instruction
Cache, 32 KB Data Cache)
• New L2 cache per core for very low latency (256 KB per core
for handling data and instruction)
• New fully inclusive, fully shared 8 MB L3 cache (all applications
can use entire cache)
A new two-level Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) hierarchy
is also included in next generation Intel microarchitecture
(Nehalem). A TLB is a processor cache that is used by memory
management hardware to improve the speed of virtual address
translation. The TLB references physical memory addresses in its
table. All current desktop and server processors use a TLB, but
next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) adds a new
second level 512 entry TLB to further improve performance.
New Application Targeted Accelerators and Intel SSE4.
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) includes all the
additional Intel SSE4 instructions Intel included in the 45nm next
generation Intel Core microarchitecture (Penryn) for faster
computation/manipulation of media (graphics, video encoding
and processing, 3-D imaging, and gaming).2 In addition, next
generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) adds seven new
Application Targeted Accelerators for more efficient accelerated
string and text processing of applications like Extensible Markup
Language (XML).
Application Targeted Accelerators extend the capabilities of
Intel® architecture by adding performance-optimized, low-latency,
lower power fixed-function accelerators on the processor die to
benefit specific applications. Such accelerators are the start of a
natural evolution where gradually more and more advantageous
implementations of fixed-function capabilities will be developed
and added to the processor. Just as the evolution of silicon technology
from 65nm to 45nm to 32nm enables more transistors for
additional cores and cache, so too will it also enable more of these
fixed-function on-die implementations. The benefit will be greater
performance—and superior energy efficiency—for these
specific applications.
The seven Application Targeted Accelerators included in the
next generation microarchitecture provide new string and text
processing instructions to improve performance of string and
text processing operations. For example, they enable parsing of
XML strings and text at a much higher speed. These Application
Targeted Accelerators will be useful for lexing, tokenizing, regular
expression evaluation, virus scanning, and intrusion.
Improved Virtualization Performance. Virtualization partitions
a computer so that it can run separate operating systems and
software in each partition, allowing one computer to act as many.
Virtualization enables computers, particularly servers, to better

leverage multi-core processing power and increase efficiency.
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) adds new
features that enable software to further improve their performance
in virtualized environments. For example, the next
generation microarchitecture includes an Extended Page Table
(EPT) for reconciling memory type specification in a guest
operating system with memory type specification in the host
operating system in virtualization systems that support memory
type specification.
New System Architecture: Intel® QuickPath
Technology
With more powerful processors, a potential bottleneck can form
anytime a processor or its individual cores can’t fetch instructions
and data as fast as they’re being executed. Whenever this
happens, performance slows. Of particular importance to the
performance of a system is the speed at which a microprocessor
and its execution cores can access system memory (in addition to
internal cache). In multi-processor systems, not only is the actual
access to data important, but also the multi-processor communication
required to ensure memory coherency (also called snoop traffic).
For years Intel kept instructions and data flowing quickly to
the processor through an external bi-directional data bus called a
front-side bus (FSB). This bus performed as a backbone between
the processor cores and a chipset that contained the memory
controller hub and served as the connection point for all other
buses (PCI, AGP, etc.) in the system. In turn, this has delivered
industry-leading processor performance on the Intel Core
microarchitecture family of processors.
In its long-range planning, Intel has long anticipated that the
development of a high-performance, dynamically, and designscalable
microarchitecture like next generation Intel microarchitecture
(Nehalem) would lead to moving beyond FSBs to a new system
architecture. The result was the development of Intel QuickPath
Architecture, a new system architecture that integrates a memory
controller into each microprocessor, dedicates specific areas of
system memory to each processor, and connects processors and
other components with a new high-speed interconnect. Previously
referenced under the code name Common System Interface or
CSI, Intel® QuickPath Interconnect unleashes the performance of
next generation microarchitecture-based processors and future
generations of Intel® multi-core processors.
Intel QuickPath Architecture is a platform architecture that
provides high-speed connections between microprocessors and
external memory, and between microprocessors and the I/O hub.
One of its biggest changes is the implementation of scalable
shared memory. Instead of using a single shared pool of memory
connected to all the processors in a server or high-end workstation
through FSBs and memory controller hubs, each processor
has its own dedicated memory that it accesses directly through
an Integrated Memory Controller on the processor die. (For
dual-core desktop and mobile processors, the memory controller
will be implemented in the processor package.) In cases where
a processor needs to access the dedicated memory of another
processor, it can do so through a high-speed Intel QuickPath
Interconnect that links all the processors.
An advantage of Intel QuickPath Interconnect is that it is point-topoint.
There is no single bus that all the processors must use and
contend with each other to reach memory and I/O. This improves
scalability and eliminates the competition between processors
for bus bandwidth.
Intel QuickPath Architecture is already receiving strong industry
support. More than 10 industry leaders have licensed Intel®
QuickPath Technology and are developing innovative products.

Intel® QuickPath Architecture Performance
Intel QuickPath Interconnect’s throughput clearly demonstrates
its best-in-class interconnect performance in the server/
workstation market segment.
• Intel QuickPath Interconnect uses up to 6.4 Gigatranfers/second
links, delivering up to 25 Gigabytes/second (GB/s) of total
bandwidth. That’s up to 300 percent greater than any other
interconnect solution used today. (Gigatransfer refers to the
number of data transfers or operations.)
• Intel QuickPath Interconnect’s superior architecture reduces
the amount of communication required in the interface of
multi-processor systems to deliver faster payloads.
• Intel QuickPath Interconnect’s tightly integrated reliability,
availability and serviceability (RAS) features ensure high
reliability. These features include:
– Implicit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) with link-level
retry to ensure data quality and performance by providing
CRC without the performance penalty of additional cycles.
– Self-healing links that avoid persistent errors by
re-configuring themselves to use the good parts of the link.
– Clock fail-over to automatically re-route clock function
to a data lane in the event of clock-pin failure.
– Hot plug capability to support hot plugging of nodes,
such as processor cards.
Coming Soon to a Server, Desktop,
or Laptop Near You
The next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) processor
family and its Intel QuickPath Architecture will be available in new
upcoming Intel® desktop and mobile processors and Intel Xeon and
Intel® Itanium® processor-based servers and workstation platforms.
Developed as a design-scalable microarchitecture, next generation
Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) will enable Intel to rapidly tailor
versions optimized for a wide range of price, performance, and
energy efficiency targets. This will make it easy for users to take
advantage of the many ways this microarchitecture dynamically
manages cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power to deliver
outstanding energy efficiency and performance on demand.
Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) will earn
another distinction in the 2009/2010 time frame. An enhanced
version of next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) will
be Intel’s first microarchitecture used with our upcoming 32nm
Hi-k metal gate silicon technology.
