Intel Offers Developer Kit For Future Atom Processor Netbook Apps
Just wanted to let you know that Intel's published the beta SDK for the Intel Atom Developer Program. That means you can now submit your Windows or Moblin apps for netbooks so you're ready to make money when the OEM stores go live next year. There are some big prizes (holiday, car) on offer for the best early apps too. The SDK is available now at http://appdeveloper.intel.com and there's more information on the Intel Atom Developer Program there too. Feel free to ping me a message if you've got any questions and I'll do my best to help.
Has anyone installed on the ZOTAC IONITX-A-U Atom 330 1.6GHz Dual-Core 441 NVIDIA ION Mini ITX platform?
If so, what if any, were the challneges that you had? What went smoothly
I want to get this board because it looks like a stellar system and perfect for Linux.
I'm quite curious about... (2 Replies)
I am buying Netbook as a travel laptop computer. I will use it for watching DIVX movies, word processing, spreadsheets, surfing the net, ETrade stock trading. That's about it, no games other than texas holdem. BTW I'm a Z/OS developer that works on UNIX some of the time, but i'm useless without... (5 Replies)
Question is on setting of Physical and Virtual processors for LPARs to make proper use of virtualization capabilities.
Environment is a 8-way p570 with 4 LPARs.
lparVIO1 and lparVIO2:
AIX 5300-04-01
Mode/Type= Shared-SMT/Capped
Minimum Processors= 0.10
Desired Processors= 0.50

hello World
I Hope to know Why AIX don't Run under INTEL Processor ??
If Any Project Is expected to make AiX to run Under INTEL Processor ???
Thank you ALL (3 Replies)
Hi All,
I have troubles with atom third tool...
I have instrumented a program, but that one is runned via exec...(ksh shell)
the program works normally but when I stop it, the log (program.3log) is not created by third...
I forgot to tell that the program runned is a server Tuxedo....

PMC.IAF(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PMC.IAF(3)NAME
pmc.iaf -- measurement events for Intel fixed function performance counters.
LIBRARY
Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pmc.h>
DESCRIPTION
Intel fixed-function PMCs are present in CPUs that conform to version 2 or later of the Intel Performance Measurement Architecture. Each
fixed-function PMC measures a specific hardware event. The number of fixed-function PMCs implemented in a CPU can vary. The number of
fixed-function PMCs present can be determined at runtime by using function pmc_cpuinfo(3).
Intel fixed-function PMCs are documented in "Volume 3: System Programming Guide", IA-32 Intel(R) Architecture Software Developer's Manual,
Order Number 253669-027US, Intel Corporation, July 2008.
PMC Capabilities
Fixed-function PMCs support the following capabilities:
Capability Support
PMC_CAP_CASCADE No
PMC_CAP_EDGE No
PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT Yes
PMC_CAP_INVERT No
PMC_CAP_READ Yes
PMC_CAP_PRECISE No
PMC_CAP_SYSTEM Yes
PMC_CAP_TAGGING No
PMC_CAP_THRESHOLD No
PMC_CAP_USER Yes
PMC_CAP_WRITE Yes
Class Name Prefix
These PMCs are named using a class name prefix of ``iaf-''.
Event Qualifiers (Fixed Function PMCs)
These PMCs support the following modifiers:
os Configure the PMC to count events occurring at ring level 0.
usr Configure the PMC to count events occurring at ring levels 1, 2 or 3.
anythread
(Atom CPUs) Configure the PMC to count events on all logical processors sharing a processor core. The default is to count events on
the current logical processor.
If neither of the ``os'' or ``usr'' qualifiers are specified, the default is to enable both.
Event Specifiers (Fixed Function PMCs)
The fixed function PMCs are selectable using the following event names:
INSTR_RETIRED.ANY
(Fixed Function Counter 0) The number of instructions retired.
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE
(Fixed Function Counter 1) The number of core cycles for which the core is not halted.
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF
(Fixed Function Counter 2) The number of reference cycles for which the core is not halted.
EXAMPLES
To measure the number of core cycles for which the core was not halted use the event specifier "iaf-cpu-clk-unhalted.core".
To measure the number of user instructions retired use the event specifier "iaf-instr-retired.any,usr".
To measure the number of user instructions retired on all logical processors in an Atom CPU, use the event specifier
"iaf-instr-retired.any,usr,anythread".

The pmc library first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
