	IBM 7950
		The IBM 7950, also known as Harvest, was a one of a kind data processing system that IBM built for the NSA.
		It consisted of an IBM 7030 Stretch computer and the following special peripherials:

	IBM Stretch (aka IBM 7030 Data Processing System) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		IBM was not able to commit to as rapid a delivery as UCRL desired, so instead proposed a more powerful machine.
		IBM feared that Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) might order a LARC, but in September of 1955 made a preliminary proposal to LASL which was received with interest.
		IBM began design studies, and starting in November of 1955, a series of "Stretch Memos" proposed the development of a computer with performance "100 to 200 times the 704".

	IBM 7030 Summary
		IBM's bid was based on a renegotiation clause for its proposed machine that would be four to five times faster than requested and cost $3.5 million rather than the requested $2.5 million.
		When IBM lost the bid on its high-performance decimal (base-10) computer system the company decided to begin a redesign of the project, and the STRETCH project was begun in 1955.
		Instruction pipelining, prefetch and decoding, and memory interleaving were used in later supercomputer designs such as the IBM System/360 Models 91, 95 and 195, and the IBM 3090 series as well as computers from other manufacturers.

	The Tech Report - IBM GXP fiasco secrets revealed
		The fiasco led to the filing of a class-action lawsuit against IBM on behalf of GXP failure victims.
		IBM was quite apparently engaging in a pattern of deception and knowingly shipping faulty products to customers while hiding behind rhetoric about standard industry failure rates and the like.
		Obviously, IBM's decision to bail out of the hard drive business was an indicator that GXP failures were a serious problem.

		With the emergence of Linux as a viable operating system on the IBM zSeries* platform, this is all the more valuable since it allows different operating systems to follow different courses and schedules without having to adjust, or adjust to, the hardware implementation plan.
		After he joined IBM that same year, his initial work was on diagnostic programming for the IBM 709, 7090, and 7950 (an extension of the 7030 Stretch computer), the indexing and output phases of a FORTRAN compiler for the 7030, and various projects of the operating systems for System/360 and System/370.
		Rogers has received an IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Award and an IBM Outstanding Innovation Award for his design work; he was a recipient of the 2000 IBM Chairman's Award.

	IBM 7950 Harvest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The IBM 7950, also known as Harvest, was a one-of-a-kind adjunct to the Stretch computer which was installed at the US National Security Agency (NSA).
		A value could be anything from 1 to 16 contiguous bits, without regard to alignment, and the streams could be as simple as data laid out in memory, or data read repeatedly, under the control of multiply-nested "do"-loop descriptors which were interpreted by the hardware.
		Two programming languages, Alpha and Beta (not be confused with Simula-inspired BETA programming language) were designed for programming it, and IBM provided a compiler for the former around the time the machine was delivered.

	IBM speeds push into 3D virtual worlds, News at CNET.co.uk
		IBM is ramping up its push into virtual worlds with an investment of roughly $10 million over the next 12 months, including an expanded presence within the popular online universe Second Life.
		A spokesman for IBM said its goals go far beyond Second Life, although it currently has its largest virtual world presence there, and that the company eventually wants to see all 'multiverses' integrated into a seamless whole.
		"IBM's ultimate aim is for inter-world integration, instead of separate islands of virtual worlds where you cannot cross over from one to the other in a consistent way," he said.

	XYZ Computing
		After Lenovo acquired IBM's consumer PC division in 2005, the company was careful to reassure ThinkPad- fans that their beloved laptop would continue to set the benchmark for business notebooks.
		There is no doubting that the GeForce 7950 GX2 is the fastest video card on the market today that fits into a single PCI-Express x16 interconnect, and it holds that crown by a good distance in the majority of titles.
		In fact, probably the only title where the GeForce 7950 GX2 loses out to competing solutions is not because it lacks speed, but because it lacks forward looking features like support for 16-bit floating point High Dynamic Range Lighting in conjunction with a multisample Anti Aliasing pattern.

	NAVO IBM SP Overview
		IBM literature states that the latency is around 1.2 mSec for up to 80 nodes, and 2.0 mSec for up to 512 nodes.
		Initial reports show that IBM has 1 GHz chips running in the lab, so it may not be long before they hit the HPC market.
		LAPI is IBM's "Low-level API" for interprocessor communication and is similar in many respects to the SHMEM library on Cray machines.

		IBM and Intel Corp, with support from several technology majors, have developed a proposal codenamed "Geneseo" to enhance PCI Express technology to address performance requirements of new usage models, including visualization and extensible markup language (XML).
		The applications that stand to benefit from this proposal include visualization, such as complex weather modeling; math and physics, such as data intensive financial applications; and content processing, such as the encryption and decryption of communications infrastructure data.
		Commenting on the new proposal, Dr Tom Bradicich, IBM fellow and chief technology officer - system x and bladecenter servers, said, "IBM is co-founding a new open standard for attaching accelerators and co-processors to server platforms.

	IBM cool water technology sucked up by Panduit \| The Register
		IBM's CoolBlue scheme to bring back water-cooled computing has been boosted by a licensing deal with networking manufacturer Panduit.
		Water cooling was standard practice on early mainframes, but cooler running electronics allowed data centres to switch to air-cooled computers, with the chilled water going to the air-con units instead.
		IBM says that because water can carry 3,500 times more heat than air, it can reduce cooling power needs by 70 per cent without requiring extra fans.

	[H] Enthusiast - XFX GeForce 7950 GT 570M Extreme
		Instead, NVIDIA decided to unveil the specifications on the GeForce 7950 GT at that time but were announcing that the video cards based on that GPU wouldn’t actually hit shelves until September 14th.
		The GeForce 7950 GT has a default GPU frequency of 550 MHz and a default memory frequency of 700 MHz (1.4 GHz DDR).
		For evaluation we are using a full retail boxed XFX GeForce 7950 GT 570M Extreme based on the GeForce 7950 GT GPU.

	IBM preparing to build ATI R500 for Xbox 360 :: MVKTech :: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX, GTS, ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, XT
		This means that R500 chip is taped out and that it is working but we don't know whether this is the final chip that Microsoft plans to ship at later date.
		It's interesting to note that ATI might work with the people who were not so successful in bringing NVIDIA's NV30 chip, as this chip was made at IBM's Fishkill Fab.
		We should not blame IBM's factory as it was NVIDIA's fault mostly, but still we find Microsoft's choice of Fab quite interesting.

		Under the agreement with Lenovo, IBM would retain its branding on the Thinkpad line for several years to follow.
		The optional lid was a significant departure from IBM's traditional business fl coloring scheme and most certainly signaled a new era in Thinkpad design.

	AnandTech: NVIDIA Single Card, Multi-GPU: GeForce 7950 GX2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There are quite a few tests in which both the 7950 GX2 and the 7900 GT SLI configurations are CPU limited or perform very similarly, but at higher resolutions we do see some differentiation.
		Thus, we are able to bring you a comparison of the performance scaling between 7900 GT and SLI and 7950 GX2 in single and multi-GPU mode.
		In some cases, scaling does make a difference in where the performance falls between the 7950 GX2 and the 7900 GT SLI solutions, but it does look like the majority of the performance differences between the two solutions is due to clock speeds and other features which are constant between single and multi-GPU arrangements.
