This book is designed to serve as a single reference source for the POWER RS/6000 family of workstations. Starting with a comprehensive overview of hardware and software concepts from a user's perspective, the book then focuses on the facilities available in the operating system and hardware subsystems from a systems point of view.

If you're thinking about investing in a RISC Sytem/6000, this comprehensive buyer's guide should be an essential resource. IBM insider Jim Hoskins offers detailed information on selecting, integrating, and operating teh right model for businesses of any size. He reviews the latest line announced this fall, exploring both hardware and peripheral options.

Written for novice to experienced UNIX users, this book describes IBM's RS/6000 open system operation with balanced coverage of RISC technology, AIX compiler design, programming environment, Window user interfaces, system administration requirements, mass storage capabilities, networking structures, system security procedures, and more.

Endorsed by IBM, this reference constitutes an authoritative and helpful introduction to both IBM's RS/6000 workstations and UNIX for the UNIX novice. Original in approach, it details UNIX and Open Systems and shows how RS/6000 fits into that environment, including its relationship to other UNIX and IBM systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference, ACSAC 2005, held in Singapore in October 2005. The 65 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 173 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on energy efficient and power aware techniques, methodologies and architectures for application-specific systems, processor architectures and microarchitectures, high-reliability and fault-tolerant architectures, compiler and OS for emerging architectures, data value predictions, reconfigurable computing systems and polymorphic architectures, interconnect networks and network interfaces, parallel architectures and computation models, hardware-software partitioning, verification, and testing of complex architectures, architectures for secured computing, simulation and performance evaluation, architectures for emerging technologies and applications, and memory systems hierarchy and management.

The aim of this IBM Redbooks publication is to provide a technical reference for IT system administrators in organizations that are considering a migration from Sun Solaris to IBM AIX 5L-based systems. This book presents a system administrator view of the technical differences that exist and the methods that are necessary to complete a successful migration to AIX 5L-based systems. This book is designed primarily as a reference for experienced Sun Solaris 8 or 9 system administrators who will be working with AIX 5L. This book is not an AIX 5L administration how-to book for system administrators who are beginners, but rather a guide for experienced administrators who have to translate a given Solaris system administration task to AIX 5L.
