NEW INVESTMENT IDEA=Cabletron(CS).....earnings expected Monday.....................Great day today, stock is moving higher... by: I_work_at_CS (38/M) 16807 of 16827 The general feeling is that Cabletron is ready to take off. The foundation is set and the programs are being worked on. The new managment is starting to execute well. Everything takes time - especially a turn around. But the time is now to start seeing the results. As the stock goes up - so does the employee morale. Lots of money to be made by employees who had options repriced at $7.25/share. This stock will go to $12 soon...

Cirruslvr, Maybe it can help workstations? SSE can speed up graphics significantly, if the workstation has a cheap graphics card. It probably makes more sense to buy a Celeron or K6 instead of a Xeon, and use the $1000 savings to buy a professional graphics card with an onboard geometry engine. That would make for a better balanced system. Scumbria

You are responding to this message from Cirruslvr on Mar 16 1999 12:53AM EST What is the point of SSE in the Xeon? In what ways could SSE speed up a server? I can't think of any ways. Maybe it can help workstations? I think you should check up on the details of Streaming SIMD Extensions. You should check the Intel developer site at developer.intel.com and you'll find pointers to lots of documentation. Regarding server software (in fact, much other non-SIMD applications), I suggest you concentrate on the prefetch and streaming store instructions. Haim

Cirruslvr, RE: What is the point of SSE in the Xeon? How about MS Terminal Server, where the clients are running heavy duty CAD applications from home via modem/ISDN and don't want the traffic going through the modem, just screen diffs. I'm sure you could find literally hundreds of applications like photoshop w/terminal server that would benefit.

Cringeing-A-Lot-Layely - re: "In what ways could SSE speed up a server?" WEB SERVERS. Streaming AUDIO. Streaming VIDEO. See RealNetworks for good examples. Streaming Data - That's what the INTERNET is ALL ABOUT ! Paul
