Future chip improvements will need to come G    from better integration of chips with the systems they run, in IBM's     view.  I    "Integration eclipses gigahertz, going forward," says Bernie Meyerson, D    who heads IBM's semiconductor development. "You can't make thingsC    smaller forever. What happens when the individual layers in your E    transistor get down to the dimensions of what they're made out of,     which is, roughly, atoms?"    Partners Paraded  I    IBM plans to address that challenge with two approaches that have been B    a foundation of its corporate strategy since Sam Palmisano took@    control as IBM's chief executive. First, it will abide by itsH    "on-demand" mantra and focus on a flexible, holistic approach to chipB    design, treating software and other system components as key toA    technical advancements, says Irving Wladawsky-Berger, IBM vice E    president of technology and strategy. Second, it will work closely     with outside partners.   E    Toward that end, IBM has announced new licensing and manufacturing H    options and plans to build a community of development partners aroundH    its Power architecture. Sony, which has licensed the Power technology@    for use in future consumer electronics, will work with IBM to    customize the chips it uses.   ?    IBM had a selection of partners and customers on hand at its 4    announcement to endorse the development strategy.  H    "It's not about an architecture, it's about the combination" of chipsD    with other hardware and software products, says Alex Pinchev, RedE    Hat's executive vice president of sales. IBM's Power chips and Red I    Hat's Linux (news - web sites) operating system have combined to drive D    improvements in system virtualization and manageability, he says.  I    Representatives of Hong Kong-based Culturecom Holdings note that their F    company's forthcoming native-Chinese processing technology has been/    under joint development with IBM since 2001.   G    "The ability to process in Chinese directly, without any translation G    software, will bring the cost for computing down tremendously," says 8    Henry Chang Manayan, Culturecom's executive director.   Power5 Previewed  H    IBM also previewed at the event its Power 5 processor, due out in theI    second half of this year. In April, the company plans to release blade +    servers based on the Power architecture.   B    According to one analyst attending the event, IBM's developmentF    strategy differs significantly from those of its chipmaking rivals,(    including Intel and Sun Microsystems.  H    "IBM is creating a computing ecosystem that can be pushed up or down.G    I can't really think of anyone else who is doing that," says Charles G    King, research director of infrastructure hardware for Sageza Group. B    "Intel has taken a very different approach of creating specific$    processors for specific markets."  H    King says that he expects IBM's strategy to be successful and that heH    sees the Power architecture as an emerging industry standard. He alsoC    noted that IBM's plans to open its development process gives the ?    company access to a broader talent pool than is available to     more-proprietary designers.  I    "You get smart people to help you, and you see where that leads," King     says.   ------------------------------  $ Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 16:53:58 +0200, From: "Reinhard Eigner" <antispam@garnix.de># Subject: Re: the d|i|g|i|t|a|l logo / Message-ID: <c4had9$nhe$01$1@news.t-online.com>   H > > Is there a way to have the digital logo appear on the console screenJ > > like it does on 7.2-1 instead of the HP or Compaq logo that appears in+ > > subsequent versions of VMS after 7.2-1?  > D > All you have to do is preserve one file from your 7.2-1 system and7 > copy it into the same directory on your 7.3-x system:  >  > L sys$sysdevice:[vms$common.cde$defaults.system.appconfig.icons.c]decdtlogo.pm  " Is there also a way for DWMotif ??0 I think your descriptions is only for the CDE...   TIA  Reinhard   ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2004.181 ************************
