Computer Architecture $104 This best-selling title, considered for over a decade to be essential reading for every serious student and practitioner of computer design, has been updated throughout to address the most important trends facing computer designers today. In this edition, the authors bring their trademark method of quantitative analysis not only to high performance desktop machine design, but also to the design of embedded and server systems. They have illustrated their principles with designs from all three of these domains, including examples from consumer electronics, multimedia and web technologies, and high performance computing. The book retains its highly rated features: Fallacies and Pitfalls, which share the hard-won lessons of real designers; Historical Perspectives, which provide a deeper look at computer design history; Putting it all Together, which present a design example that illustrates the principles of the chapter; Worked Examples, which challenge the reader to apply the concepts, theories and methods in smaller scale problems; and Cross-Cutting Issues, which show how the ideas covered in one chapter interact with those presented in others. In addition, a new feature, Another View, presents brief design examples in one of the three domains other than the one chosen for Putting It All Together. The authors present a new organization of the material as well, reducing the overlap with their other text, Computer Organization and Design: A Hardware/Software Approach 2/e, and offering more in-depth treatment of advanced topics in multithreading, instruction level parallelism, VLIW architectures, memory hierarchies, storage devices and network technologies. Also new to this edition, is the adoption of the MIPS 64 as the instruction set architecture. In addition to several online appendixes, two new appendixes will be printed in the book: one contains a complete review of the basic concepts of pipelining, the other provides solutions a selection of the exercises. Both will be invaluable to the student or professional learning on her own or in the classroom. Hennessy and Patterson continue to focus on fundamental techniques for designing real machines and for maximizing their cost/performance. * Presents state-of-the-art design examples including: * IA-64 architecture and its first implementation, the Itanium * Pipeline designs for Pentium III and Pentium IV * The cluster that runs the Google search engine * EMC storage systems and their performance * Sony Playstation 2 * Infiniband, a new storage area and system area network * SunFire 6800 multiprocessor server and its processor the UltraSPARC III * Trimedia TM32 media processor and the Transmeta Crusoe processor * Examines quantitative performance analysis in the commercial server market and the embedded market, as well as the traditional desktop market. Updates all the examples and figures with the most recent benchmarks, such as SPEC 2000. * Expands coverage of instru |

Scaling and SQL Server Optimization
Those responsible for database production environments will eventually have to decide whether they will scale their hardware systems, or not. Adding even more difficulty to this decision are factors like budgeting and time frames. One of the most important decisions is whether to scale up or scale out.
To scale up means moving databases and applications to bigger and better hardware with more powerful processors, greater amounts of memory, and faster disk drives. High levels of system resource use may require you to scale up your production environment to ensure optimum end user experiences.
Get additional SQL Server Optimization information.
Scaling out means to implement the use of federated servers where data is partitioned or replicated across them. Examples include functional partitioning of CRM or ERP functionality on different servers and horizontal data partitioning across multiple databases.
Determine What Is Necessary
Before scaling up or out, you must be sure that it is required. Adequate SQL Server performance tuning efforts can help you make that decision. Many performance and scalability problems can be solved by optimizing the SQL server. The decision to scale up or scale out should be set aside until SQL server databases and applications are optimized by analyzing past trends and wait time performance information.
SQL Server optimization can resolve performance bottlenecks like inefficient locking, unprepared SQL statements, poor indexes that lead to increased CPU loads, and memory or disk I/O utilization that are often incorrectly mitigated by scaling up on hardware.
The Question: To Scale Up or Out
When each application and database has been optimized and performance issues still arise, you must then determine if it is time to scale up or out. Scaling up usually comes first. It can be quite expensive to scale up, but it is surely easier and more productive than scaling out. Scaling up involves the replacement of existing hardware with newer and faster hardware and/or incorporating new equipment to an existing configuration.
If, once you have scaled up on hardware, your system is still experiencing performance issues, you should consider scaling out and implementing a federated server environment. Decreasing the workload on the individual servers will likely cure any performance issues that may remain.
If you don't have the funding to purchase new hardware (scale up), scaling out becomes a viable option. If you have enough, or nearly enough, server capacity already, expenditures will be greatly reduced. You should certainly do some research and determine if the cost savings is worth the complex nature of utilizing a federated server environment.
Discover more benefits of SQL Server Optimization.
Start By Optimizing, Follow up by Scaling
It is important to stress that the most efficient and least costly performance enhancements come from the databases and applications. Concentrating server performance tuning in those areas will commonly phase out the need for scaling. Be sure to exhaust all optimization options before going through the expense and added complexities of scaling.
