As 64-bit PowerPC processors become more widely available, it
becomes desirable to make applications run in the 64-bit
computation mode, providing access to larger address space and

While many programs can obtain acceptable performance by simply
letting the processor manage its own caching, programs with
special requirements may obtain dramatically improved
performance by...
This series on embedded development shows you how to migrate a project prototype from x86 to PowerPC. This initial installment explains the realities and rationale of the project: it introduces the...
The Kuro Box promises something fairly interesting: a usable single-board PowerPC computer, for only US$160 -- when other PowerPC development boards often cost ten times as much.
Each of the leading microprocessor manufacturers has announced
the availability of one or more 64-bit desktop processors, but
differences exist in architectural design, fabrication,
support,...
IBM PowerPC 970 CPUs are well-designed, high-performance chips
that ship in millions of end-user systems under Apple

Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) has been around in Intel chipsets for a while but until recently was not affordable for the average user. The use of more than one CPU - a term that somewhat lacks...
Even though most Linux users have treated Linux as an operating
system for their x86 white boxes, Linux runs equally well on
PowerPC machines. This article looks at Linux on the PowerPC

Typically when you bind data to a DataGrid, you get a basic table, one row for each record, and one cell for each column of data. While this may satisfy many of your needs, it often does not address...
SOAP messages generated by Web Services may become very large, reducing scalability by consuming expensive network bandwidth. CPU power is often much cheaper and easier to extend than network...
Unfortunately, the JDK does not include a GridLayout class that allows for a matrix layout with multisized cells (rows of different heights or columns of different widths). To obtain that type of...
The cell phone business is growing at a breakneck pace, and keeping up with the latest technologies is a full-time occupation. In this article, I'll offer an update on what's currently available to...
