 | Challenges in today's high performance computing market are driving changes in the way Small Business systems are designed. Applications in the areas of point of sale, networking, security integration and remote access have become much more complex, and many are really collections of separate sub-applications with varied characteristics and processing requirements. In addition, recent advancements in multicore microprocessors that have resulted in more tightly coupled processing have boosted performance. Multicore processors create additional challenges due to limitations in bandwidth, memory access and software function.
In order to achieve truly superior application performance, as well as address the need for higher user productivity, Small Business systems must go a step beyond simply providing access to a variety of processing technologies.
