	Platform
		Platform will work with you to determine the business value of grid computing, and plan and implement a grid strategy that supports your business drivers and priorities.
		Core to Platform products is Platform Enterprise Grid Orchestrator (EGO), the first and only grid platform that will deliver the power of virtualization, automation and the sharing of all IT resources to every application type.
		Platform EGO provides a flexible way to orchestrate all enterprise application types into a single, cohesive, efficient system.

		For example, when an application is said to "run on the Windows platform," it means that the program has been compiled into the x86 machine language and runs under Windows.
		For example, a messaging platform or groupware platform implies one or more programming interfaces that e-mail, calendaring and other client programs are written to in order to communicate with the services provided by the server.
		The terms "platform" and "environment" are often used interchangeably.

	Platform (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typical platforms include a computer's architecture, operating system, or programming languages and their runtime libraries.
		In relation to hardware, platform often describes the set of hardware components that make up the computer itself that the software is written to target to (often just described as "written for an architecture").
		Pure assembly language can be run on this hardware platform, but most commonly, operating system software is written to target the hardware platform, but in doing so, becomes a platform in itself, facilitating the running of other software that is used to target the operating system, and likewise the hardware architecture.

	Software Platform Dynamics (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Software platforms have the potential to create increasing returns as a function of ubiquity, and thus tend to exhibit natural geometric growth patterns until they reach the point of practical market saturation, at which point their growth pattern becomes at best highly correlated with the overall market.
		Platforms in the absence of applications cannot be expected to be self-financing until they are well on the road to ubiquity, regardless of theoretical margins.
		As a platform nears or achieves practical ubiquity, and thus as the end of geometric growth is within sight, the most effective use of new investment is not to continue to enhance that platform, but to instead invest in either 1) new "layered platforms", or 2) new disruptive "alternative platforms".

	Platform 2015, Technology & Research at Intel
		Intel's long-range vision for the collective evolution of these three fundamental platform elements, and the architectural innovation and core competencies enabling that evolution, is what we call Platform 2015.
		The microprocessor itself is on the verge of undergoing significant transformation, requiring new advances in addition to achieving the predictions of Moore's Law.
		Based on current requirements and trends, we believe that processor and platform architecture needs to move toward a virtualized, reconfigurable chip-level multiprocessing (CMP) architecture with a large number of cores, a rich set of built-in processing capabilities, large on-chip memory subsystem and sophisticated microkernel.

	To Joel, on Platforms (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Your piece on platforms was quite interesting, and I hope that I can both shed a bit more light on my perspective and Groove's perspective, and perhaps catalyze further dialog.
		In a platform business, the very basis for the business model is by definition to maximize wealth creation by continuously optimizing the balanced distribution of value between the platform provider and the platform ecosystem.
		Since it thus takes applications to drive creation of a new platform's value chain, and since this can take some time, it can be critically important that the platform vendor itself take the lead in demonstrating the unique capabilities of the platform by building at least a few key applications on top of it.

	platform - a definition from Whatis.com
		A platform consists of an operating system, the computer system's coordinating program, which in turn is built on the instruction set for a processor or microprocessor, the hardware that performs logic operations and manages data movement in the computer.
		Thus, a PC program would have to be written to run on the Windows 2000 platform and then again to run on the Mac OS X platform.
		Although these platform differences continue to exist and there will probably always be proprietary differences between them, new open or standards-conforming interfaces now allow many programs to run on different platforms or to interoperate with different platforms through mediating or "broker" programs.

	Soil and Soil-gas Samplers
		Direct-push platforms have gained widespread acceptance in the environmental industry over the past decade because of their versatility, relatively low cost, and mobility.
		The distinction between these units is that CPT units advance the tool string by applying a hydraulic ram against the weight or mass of the vehicle alone, while rotary hammer units add a hammer to the hydraulic ram to compensate for their lower mass.
		Direct-push platforms can also be used to install systems to monitor soil gasses around underground storage tanks or as part of an ongoing remediation effort.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Gay marriage tops GOP platform
		NEW YORK — A Republican convention means a Republican platform — and a Republican platform means arguments about abortion, same-sex marriage and other social issues.
		Sure enough, supporters of abortion rights and gay rights protested yesterday after a platform committee made up largely of conservative delegates approved language that calls for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and opposes legal recognition of any sort for gay civil unions.
		While about half of the platform draft deals with national security and foreign policy, the last meeting drew the most attention.

	Platforms - Joel on Software
		One of the biggest themes in software industry failures is a platform vendor that didn't understand that they were a platform vendor, so they alienated their key constituency: the developers.
		Greedy platform companies can't stand the idea of all kinds of unwashed riffraff making money off of their platform, so they make it darn near impossible for anyone to develop for it.
		A more subtle problem is when platform vendors don't think they have a platform, they think they have an application.

	Townhall.com :: Columns :: The platform by George Will (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Regarding military action, your platform says ``we will never wait for a green light from abroad when our safety is at stake.'' But the platform's preceding paragraph denounces President Bush's ``doctrine of unilateral pre-emption.'' If unilateralism is wrong, are you not committed to some sort of ``green light from abroad''?
		Your platform says: ``A nuclear-armed Iran is an unacceptable risk.'' But Iran's radical Islamist regime is undeterred by diplomatic hand-wringing about its acquisition of nuclear weapons, which may be imminent.
		Your platform says, ``The price of gas is at an all-time high.'' But it isn't as measured in constant (inflation-adjusted) dollars, or as a portion of Americans' purchasing power.

		We’re coming to understand that a good and civil society cannot be packaged into government programs but must originate in our homes, in our neighborhoods, and in the private institutions that bring us together, in all our diversity, for the works of mercy and labors of love.
		We approach these challenges with compassionate conservatism, a concept that is as old as the pioneers heading West in wagon trains, in which everyone had responsibility to follow the rules, but no one would be left behind.
