Intel builds all-in-one wireless radio
package 06/17/2005 03:46 PM

Researchers at Intel have figured out how to integrate all the elements needed to connect to wireless local area networks into a compact package, the company is expected to announce Friday at The VLSI Symposium in Japan.

Many companies have already built Wi-Fi chips that support the 802.11a/b/g standards, but those products require several other chips built onto the motherboard in order to connect to wireless networks.

Intel has now integrated components such as power amplifiers onto a single piece of silicon. It has also built connections from the amplifiers to external radio antennas on a single transceiver package, connections that used to be made with multiple pieces of silicon located outside the package, said Howard High, an Intel spokesman. A transceiver is a chip that can both transmit and receive signals.

The device currently supports 802.11a/b/g, but it should have enough bandwidth to also support the forthcoming 802.11n standard, High said. Intel believes the integrated design will help customers build cheaper and more power efficient devices, he said.

In order to build this package, Intel researchers had to solve several problems presented by an integrated design. For example, they had to figure out how to keep the power amplifier from interfering with the radio signal, High said.

By eliminating as many discrete chips as possible, Intel was able to reduce the power consumption of the package and lower the cost of building wireless networking technology into a notebook, mobile phone, or personal digital assistant, Intel researchers said in a paper outlining their accomplishment.

The current design is only a prototype, and additional testing and validation is needed before Intel will start producing the chip in large volumes, High said. Given that wireless communication chips also require government approval before they can be sold, Intel is probably at least two years away from selling these chips, he said.

Intel's ultimate goal is to build a communications chip that can connect to any type of network, be it a Wi-Fi LAN, a wide-area network based on the WiMax technology it is heavily promoting, or personal-area networks like Bluetooth or UWB (ultrawideband), High said.

By 2007, the company expects to build an integrated chip with separate radios for the various networks, and hopes to eventually build chips with "cognitive" or software-defined radios that can connect to multiple types of networks on their own.

Intel will showcase the prototype at the 2005 VLSI Symposium, an annual conference highlighting advances in semiconductor research. Intel, IBM, Advanced Micro Devices, Freescale Semiconductor, Nvidia, and many other chip companies have presented research at the conference, which ends Saturday.

Review: VMware 4.5.2

Review: VMware 4.5.2 09/15/2004 01:47 PM
Virtual machine software allows you to run one operating system (and its applications) from within the environment of another. For years the most recognized name in virtual machine software for the x86 architecture has been VMware, whose eponymous industry-leading product supports a wide variety of guest operating systems. Recently EMC Corp. bought VMware, and has since released VMware Workstation 4.5 for $199. The most recent release is 4.5.2, which adds 64-bit host operating system support. There isn't much that VMware Workstation can't do, except perhaps achieve the level of performance that a genuine installation of the guest operating system enjoys.

I’ve always been a big fan of VMware, the utility software that allows you to run multiple operating systems, or multiple instances of one operating system, on a single hardware platform. For many years, marketing and sales people have carried laptops equipped with VMware products, NetWare server and client software so that they could easily demonstrate network operations without having to tote hundreds of pounds of equipment.

VMWare 5.0.0 (Default branch)

VMWare 5.0.0 (Default branch) 04/12/2005 05:20 PM
VMWare allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside Linux. It is not an emulator. It provides a virtual computer within Linux which can boot whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine, along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended).

---

Changes:
Team features were added. Multiple snapshot and snapshot management capabilities as well as cloning functionality were added. Performance was improved, especially for multiple virtual machines and networking workloads, for suspend and resume, for snapshot operations, and for shared folders and sound. Host and guest OS support was expanded, especially for 64-bit OSs. Support for isochronous USB input devices was added. A command line interface enabling the automation of certain manual steps was added. A movie of the virtual machine can now be recorded. Further enhancements were made.

Linux VMware Blues

Linux VMware Blues 09/15/2004 01:49 AM

If you are running a Linux guest under VMware like me and my blog's hyperlinks are green instead of blue, turn on subpixel font rendering to get the blues.

FYI, I am running RedHat 9 under VMware running on XP, primarily for development and testing.  For example, I needed to write a milter so I initially wrote a C++ version using Eclipse running under RH9 VMware guest.  The milter was talking to sendmail server running inside the same virtual machine.  Eclipse CDT running inside the VM was rather difficult to work with so rewrote the milter in pure Java using Eclipse running on XP.

To debug, I configured the sendmail server running inside the VM to invoke the pure Java milter running under Eclipse debugger outside the VM.Then I sent both plain text and multipart MIME messages using Evolution, running inside the VM, as well as Outlook, running on another machine, to the sendmail server inside the VM which in turn invoked the milter running outside the VM.

While all this might be confusing to some, it worked amazingly well.

EMC Buys VMWare; Forget The IPO

EMC Buys VMWare; Forget The IPO 12/15/2003 06:53 PM
EMC is going acquisition crazy. They recently bought Documentum and Legato, and today made the somewhat surprising announcement that they are buying VMWare. It had seemed that the earlier deals were sort of desperation plays between large companies who were finding their business models smoked out from under them. This deal, however, is quite a bit different. VMWare is a Silicon Valley darling that was expected to go public early next year - and was considered one of the bright spots for the potential IPO class of 2004. Apparently, once the offer was on the table, they believed it was better to take what was in front of them. It will be interesting to see what EMC does with VMWare - as it's a bit far out of their usual business areas. However, if anything, this is a bad sign for those who believe that the IPO market is back.
