2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor, with 2MB of performance-boosting cache memory. The TriDef 3D screen has a special coating that reduces the need for a separate graphics card to process 3D content. (Yahoo News -- Technology)
IBM DB2 Upgrade Targets Oracle Oct 13, 2009
The direct memory access, called Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), lets DB2 database servers directly query the cache memory of the pureScale traffic control servers as if the cache was on its own server. Normally cache checks go through the CPU, but RDMA bypasses the CPU and goes straight to memory. (Datamation)
