Are you considering a Destination Wedding? Let our Romance Travel Experts help take care of the details!
What honeymoon type are you?
The wedding is over and now you are ready to embark on a romantic, relaxing honeymoon. But before you step on the plane, did you book the trip that will deliver the experience you really want?
To be sure, you will want to consider the following: what honeymoon type are you and your groom? Following these steps will help you plan the trip best suited to both your needs.
Work together on your overall travel budget. You do not want to underestimate the overall wedding and honeymoon expenses, and short yourselves on this dream trip.
What type of honeymoon are you anticipating - a relaxing beach stay, soft adventure with hikes to remote waterfalls, or a cultural European city journey? Ask yourselves, what are our main interests and what do we want to do on our honeymoon?
With the world at your feet, choosing a honeymoon spot should be based upon your shared interests, not where your friends went.
Lastly, how you get to your chosen location can be part of the adventure, whether it is a quick flight or a slow boat sailing through tropical islands, so keep your options open. Your dream trip will take a little investment in time to deliver memories that will last forever.
Let us help you start planning your perfect honeymoon today!
Destination weddings are intimate affairs shared with only your closest family and friends. It's a chance for you to enjoy the company of those closest to you for not only a few hours, but more like 2-3 days, making it a true celebration.
The planning process for a destination wedding is very different from a traditional wedding. Most likely you won't be able to visit the actual wedding location, taste the food, have a cake tasting, or get to know the minister who will marry you before you arrive. Not to worry though. This is why we stress the importance of consulting with a Destination Wedding Specialist, who will help with all of these details.
Unlike traditional weddings, you shouldn't expect to have an elaborate dress with an enormous train and a huge wedding cake. Instead, the dress should fit the destination. For example, most beach wedding brides will have light, flowy dresses that are less formal, and easier to walk in the sand with. The cake will most likely be provided by the resort.
Destination weddings can be a fun and memorable experience for you and your guests, and by keeping your guest list smaller than you would back home, a destination wedding can also save you money.
Every anniversary is special and deserves to be celebrated! For wedding anniversaries, it's especially important to remember why you fell in love in the first place and take that time to reconnect. Going away on a romantic anniversary trip is a great alternative to traditional and modern anniversary gifts. It's easy to buy material things, but nothing says "I love you" like traveling and creating memories together.
The best kind of anniversary gifts are trips with no distractions. How about taking a break from the everyday hustle and bustle by visiting the countryside and checking into a bed and breakfast, experiencing food and wine in beautiful vineyards, and have a relaxing picnic for 2 on the beach? Doesn't that sound like a great alternative to wood, the traditional gift for a 5 year anniversary
Our Romantic Travel Experts have taken the list of ideas for traditional and modern anniversary gifts and put a travel-related spin on them.
Couples-only resorts
Couples-only resorts allow you to experience new and exotic locations with your loved one. They are the perfect setting to create memories that will last a lifetime. Our Romantic Travel Experts are well-versed in finding the perfect destination that is just right for you. If a couples-only resort is what you're looking for, let us do the work for you so you can focus on more important things, like each other.
All-inclusive value
Did you know that there are all-inclusive vacations that cater just to couples? They offer couples a chance to relax in peace and quiet. Depending on the destination of your choice, they may have couple massages, full open bar, group classes, sports, evening entertainment, dance floors, gourmet restaurants, lounges and extra romantic amenities. All-inclusive vacations for couples tend to be in the most beautiful locations around the world.
Romantic luxury travel
Our Romantic Travel Experts stay up-to-date with current travel trends -- and luxury romance is a definite must for a romantic getaway. With more and more properties offering spa services, more dining options, and upgrades on amenities, who wouldn't want a romantic luxury getaway? Let us help you custom-tailor the perfect luxury package, for a trip that you will never forget.
Golf for him, spa for her
Having trouble determining which is more important: golf or the spa? Why choose? On your vacation, stay at a resort that caters to both. While the golf-lover goes out and plays a round of golf, the spa-lover can go and enjoy a full-body treatment. Golf and Spa resorts are located in some of the most popular destinations around the world. In addition to golf and spa, some of these resorts offer health clubs, pool complexes, beaches, restaurants, and much more. And, after enjoying what you want to do for a few hours, you can still spend the rest of the day and evening together.
Romantic river cruises
Need a romantic getaway? Try something different - take a romantic river cruise. Think of your ship as your floating hotel - every morning you wake up in a beautiful city which you can disembark in the city's center to explore, shop, eat local foods, and drink lovely wines. This is the romantic trip you have always dreamed of!

A little bit of everything
A holiday centre in Denmark is like a hotel and your own apartment all rolled in to one. You have your own accommodation with private facilities, which is part of a bigger campus with hotel-style reception, restaurants and many activities to take part in on site.
Family-friendly holidays
It's the perfect holiday choice for a lot of families and a great place to let your kids roam and interact with other children. Most of Denmark's holiday centres are located near the sea, but you can also find idyllic countryside centres and city centres. Holiday centres tend to be open all year round.
You can stay at holiday centres for one or more weeks, usually from Saturday to Saturday, but it is also possible to book for one weekend only. It's easier to book shorter stays outside of the high season and summer holiday periods. The cost of a stay will depend on the season and length of stay. An apartment with four beds will cost around 6,000kr in the high season.
Like Danish hotels, holiday centres that are members of HORESTA (The Danish Hotels' Association) are assigned 0 to 5 stars based on assessment of their facility and service standards.

Liz began rowing in 1986 at the University of Massachusetts, where she rowed for four years. Upon graduation, Liz accepted a position at Trinity College, where she coached the novice women's team. The following year, Liz returned to coach the UMass novice women's team, during which she acquired many valuable skills; most notably how to drive a boat trailer several hundred miles on very little sleep. After spending many years in North Carolina in the wedding industry, Liz relocated back to New England with her husband and twin girls. She is happy to be involved in rowing again, and very much looking forward to coaching at UVRF.
Chuck Nagle
Chuck walked on as a coxswain his freshman year at Dartmouth and loved the idea of "yelling at people in boats." Since then he has coached just about every group around from Freshmen Lightweight Men at Princeton to Varsity Women at Dartmouth to National Teams (Women's National Team and Junior Men's Team) to Master's Women to HHS Girls and Novice Boys. Crews he has coached have finished first in many events including the Eastern Sprints, Head of the Charles, Canadian Henley Regatta, Women's Masters National Championships and he assisted with the first Junior Men's Eight to win a gold medal at the Junior World Championships in 1987. Having said all that, Chuck's main goal in coaching is to provide a positive, fun, challenging and competitive experience for anyone he coaches. Setting expectations (personal and team) and striving to achieve them is very important to him. He believes that anyone who is willing to work at it can become a better rower (and teammate). He also believes that you get out of it what you put into it.

Beyonce appeared on "Good Morning America" on Monday to set the record straight about her trip to Cuba and open up about expanding her family.
Bey, who is in the middle of the European leg of her world tour, the Mrs. Carter Show, spoke with Amy Robach in London about her eyebrow-raising fifth anniversary trip to Cuba with husband Jay-Z in April. Lawmakers questioned the validity of the trip and sought clarification on why two of the U.S.' biggest stars were visiting the communist island-nation, which is under an embargo for routine tourism.
"You know, it was such a beautiful trip," the singer said. "I met some incredible children. I visited some incredible entrepreneurs. And it was really, it was really educational for me. I learned so much about so many people and the country, and it was actually quite shocking."
PHOTOS: Beyonce and Jay-Z through the years
The trip was approved by the U.S. Treasury Department, though Jay-Z claimed in a rap that the White House had approved it, a claim President Obama later refuted.
The 31-year-old also spoke candidly about her family plans, saying that she'd like to have more children.
"I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being big sister [to Solange]," she said.
As for when we can expect Blue Ivy's little brother or sister? Bey said, "At some point when it's supposed to happen."
It's pretty clear that the 1-year-old diva is her parents' priority, and Bey wants to make sure that growing up in the spotlight won't harm her.
PHOTOS: How Blue Ivy and other celeb babies got their names
"I am very protective," Beyonce said. "I just want to make sure that she can have a healthy, safe, normal life … in the back of my mind, she's my priority. And life is completely different now. So I'm — I feel really, really just lucky that I can still do what I love, and now have a way bigger meaning, and that's to be her mother."
Just like any mom, Bey is still working on earning "cool points" with her baby girl. She'll be voicing Queen Tara in the animated film "Epic," due out May 24, a job she accepted while she was pregnant in hopes that it would be something Blue would appreciate by the time it hit theaters.
"It has so much depth. You know, it's so emotional," Beyonce said. "And I literally, I was crying when I — when I did the voice-over. And it was the first thing I did after giving birth. And there's a scene where I pick the pod. And literally there were … tears falling."
And, the self-proclaimed "modern-day feminist" admits that the fame and lifestyle she has haven't changed her.
"You know, at the end of the day you're the same exact person. You know, I still like the simple things. Like, I have on my press-on nails right now," she said with a laugh. "I have on my store-bought press-on nails. But my color, my paint is professionally done."

|Le Bernardin
When you visit New York and have to pick one fine dining establishment to visit, it's hard to bypass Eric Ripert's Le Bernardin. Being this the last night of my NYC vacation, I decided to end it with a bang and dine at Le Bernardin. Me and four of my fellow dining companions were set to embark on an absolutely magical meal.
|Bar Snacks
While waiting for the rest of my party to arrive, I was served some breadsticks at the bar, but I only munched on one, as the last thing I wanted to do was to ruin my appetite.
After deciding to partner up with Aaron of Destination Eats, we decided to split the Le Bernardin Tasting Menu ($138) and the Chef's Tasting Menu ($185). After that part was settled, I ended up ordering my cocktail of choice, the mojito. Minty, "citrusy," and a touch of alcohol (though I probably preferred more). It was my kind of cocktail.
|Amuse Bouche - Crab and lobster salad with cauliflower soup
At first, I thought we were being served a cold crab and lobster salad, but soon after the plates were placed onto the table, servers poured the sweet cauliflower soup. The hot soup with the cold seafood created a nice temperature contrast and the sweet flavors of the crab and lobster were actually enhanced by the soup. Fantastic!
|Top: Breadstick Bottom: Butter
A simple bread service was soon presented. The warm breadstick went perfectly with the butter. It wasn't anything fancy, but it definitely worked.
|1a. TUNA - Smoked yellowfin tuna "proscuitto"; Japanese pickled vegetables and crispy kombu
I'll denote the Chef's Tasting Menu ($185) as (a). The smoked salmon had a sashimi-like texture. The flavors of the smoked salmon were complemented by the crunchy Japanese pickled vegetables. The crispy kombu (seaweed) added a nice crunch to the dish. A very Japanese influenced dish.
|1b. TUNA - Layers of thinly pounded yellowfin tuna; foie gras and toasted baguette; shaved chives and extra virgin olive oil
The Le Bernardin Tasting Menu ($138) also started off with tuna, though it's a totally different preparation. Instead of the Asian influence used in the previous dish, here we have my friend foie gras and toasted baguette underneath a thinly flattened piece of fresh tuna. The richness of the foie gras was a surprisingly good match to the tuna. Of the two tuna dishes, I preferred the latter.
|2a. EGG - CAVIAR - Poached pasteurized egg; ostera caviar; Marinere broth and English muffin
Since there was only one order of the Chef's Tasting Menu, most of the table watched as Aaron and I went through this course. Honestly, can something with soft poached egg and caviar in a merinere (white wine shellfish sauce) broth be bad? No, of course not. Thanks! The best part of the dish was dipping the English muffin toast stick into the yellow yolk and the broth.
|3a. LANGOUSTINE - seared langoustine; mâche; wild mushroom salad; shaved foie gras' white balsamic vinaigrette
The perfectly cooked langoustine was complemented with a wild mushroom salad and a heavenly foie gras white balsamic vinaigrette. Again, the seafood went beautifully with the rich taste of the foie gras. I loved it!
|3b. OCTOPUS - Charred octopus; fermented black bean-pear sauce vierge; ink-miso vinaigrette; purple basil
The two ingredients that stood out were the octopus of course, and the black bean. I was pretty surprised with the use of the black beans, as it's an ingredient even my mom usually stay away from due to its intense flavors. The black bean here was actually fairly mellow, though it might be the sweet pear that tamed the intense flavors. The octopus was so good, and so tender. Tender enough to be cut with a fork. It was probably the best preparation of cooked octopus I've ever had.
|4a. MONKFISH - Pan-roasted monkfish; hon shimeji mushrooms; turnip-ginger emulsion; sake broth
Monkfish is something I've rarely had, unless you count the Monkfish Liver (ankimo) served in Japanese restaurants. The monkfish had a nice crispy skin and the turnip-ginger sake broth added a nice flavor to the monkfish.
|4b. SKATE - Nori crusted skate; poached oysters; braised winter lettuce; ponzu vinaigrette
The skate was perfectly cooked, and the crispy nori skin was quite nice. The poached oysters added a nice element to the dish and the final touches of the ponzu vinaigrette provided the acidity to the dish. Another Asian influenced touch, but I liked it.
|5a. BLACK BASS - Crispy black bass; braised celery and parsnip custard; iberico ham-green peppercorn sauce
This is one of Le Bernardin's signature dishes (Or at least I've seen it a lot, like on Top Chef). The ingredients are fairly minimal, but it's not an easy dish to replicate. The black bass was cooked well, and I gotta love the crispy skin. The peppercorn sauce was quite flavorful and delicious. The only component of the dish I thought was unnecessary was the parsnip custard. It lacked flavor so I'm not sure if it enhanced the dish.
|5b. STRIPED BASS - Baked wild striped bass; corn "cannelloni"; light Perigord sauce
Although this baked striped bass was delicious, I felt like the black bass was better cooked. The best part of this dish was the corn "cannelloni," which reminded me of a corn tamale.
|6a. LOBSTER - Baked lobster on a bed of truffled foie gras stuffing; brandy-red wine sauce
Lobster? Truffled Foie Gras Stuffing? You don't have to twist my arm to eat this. Was it good? Although delicious, I wish I had more of a truffle flavor in this dish, though it may be the brandy-red wine sauce that masked some of the flavors. Regardless, it was one of my favorites of the night (though there were many).
|6b. SURF AND TURF - Escolar and seared Kobe beef; sea bean salad and eggplant fries; Mr. Kaufman's pesto and anchovy sauce
The one lone meat dish of the night. Here Chef Ripert has a perfected seared kobe beef going up against a white fish like escolar. Sadly, I don't remember much about the fish, but the kobe beef was F U C K I N G amazing! You just can't go wrong with kobe beef unless you overcook that bad boy.
|7a. CHEVRE - Creamy goat cheese spheres; concord grapes; candied walnut; black pepper
This was one cheese course I really liked. Though I do personally enjoy goat cheese, so that'll help. The grape "caviar" provided a nice sweetness, while the black pepper added a kick to the dish. Those goat cheese spheres reminded me of the olives at Jose Andres' Bazaar.
|7b. MASCARPONE - Mascarpone cream in a crisp coffee shell; almond-cocoa pain de Gênes
The second cheese course was more of a dessert offering than a cheese course, which is fine by me. The mild taste of the mascarpone cheese was stuffed in a coffee sugar shell. That part was quite nice. The almond cocoa pain de Gênes added this creamy mocha component when everything was eaten together.
|8a. CORN - PRALINE - Caramelized corn custard; hazelnut praline; brown butter ice cream; popcorn tuile
This dessert reminded me of a caramel butter popcorn in a dessert form. The corn custard was fantastic and I really enjoyed the brown butter ice cream that went along with the custard.
|8b. PEAR - Cinnamon caramel parfait; liquid pear; smoked sea salt; fromage blanc sorbet
Of the two desserts, I preferred this one, though I'm also partial to a caramel based dessert. I liked the caramel parfair, but the liquid pear was quite unique. Somehow the flavors just worked. This was a nice way to end the meal.
|Mignardises - From Left (Pistachio Cherry Cookie, Chocolate Hazelnut Cup, Lemon Beignet, Pomegrante Gelee on Coconut)
Finally, the end of our meal, we were presented with four simple, yet lovely bites of mignardises. I'm partial to pomegranate, so I really enjoyed that one the most, though all four were fantastic.
|Group Shot with Chef Ripert
What can I say about Le Bernardin? I went in with a high expectation and it was met and then some. Meeting Chef Ripert was a honor, but eating his cooking left a lasting impression on how seafood should taste. While I enjoyed some of the seafood restaurants here in Los Angeles, there's not one that's even close to the standard I witnessed at Le Bernardin. I can't wait for my meal here next week. Although there will be some repeats, I'm looking forward to some of the new dishes to be presented that night. Let's hope Chef Ripert is in da house!

Intel Networking: XL710 Fortville 40 Gigabit Ethernet and VXLAN Acceleration
Subject: General Tech, Networking, Processors | September 8, 2014 - 12:29 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: xeon e5-2600 v3, xeon e5, Intel
So, to coincide with their E5-2600 v3 launch, Intel is discussing virtualized LANs and new, high-speed PCIe-based, networking adapters. Xeons are typically used in servers and their networking add-in boards will often shame what you see on a consumer machine. One of these boards supports up to two 40GbE connections, configurable to four 10GbE, for all the bandwidth.
The Intel XL710 is their new network controller, which I am told is being manufactured at 28nm. It is supposedly more power efficient, as well. In their example, a previous dual 10-gigabit controller will consume 5.2W of power while a single 40-gigabit will consume 3.3W. In terms of a network adapter, that is a significant reduction, which is very important in a data center due to the number of machines and the required air conditioning.
As for the virtualized networking part of the announcement, Intel is heavily promoting Software-defined networking (SDN). Intel mentioned two techniques to help increase usable bandwidth and decrease CPU utilization, which is important at 40 gigabits.
Receive Side Scaling disabled
The first is "generic segmentation offload" for VXLAN (VXLAN GSO) that allows the host of any given connection to chunk data more efficiently to send out over a virtual network.
Generic Segmentation Offload disabled
The second is TCP L4 Receive Side Scaling (RSS), which splits traffic between multiple receive queues (and can be managed by multiple CPU threads). I am not a network admin and I will not claim to know how existing platforms manage traffic at this level. Still, Intel seems to claim that this NIC and CPU platform will result in higher effective bandwidth and better multi-core CPU utilization (that I expect will lead to lower power consumption).
Both enabled
If it works as advertised, it could be a win for customers who buy into the Intel ecosystem.
Apple Announces Updates to Macbook Pro and Mac Pro Lineups

During their annual event today at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Apple announced updates to their Mac lineups. After updating the MacBook Air with Haswell processors and teasing the new Mac Pro in June during WWDC, the rest of their offerings have seemed a little outdated.
Today, Apple started with a recap of the upgrades they have included in the next OS X release, Mavericks. Things like improved multi monitor support, and even more technical features like OpenCL support for integrated graphics and RAM compression were all talked about.
Perhaps the biggest news about OS X Mavericks is that it will be a free release to all users on 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), or 10.8 (Mountain Lion), as long as their hardware is compatible. Mavericks is available today through the Mac App store.
Read on for more information about today's event, and the new hardware announced!

Sandy Bridge Xeons galore! Seventeen new E5s arrive
Subject: General Tech | May 15, 2012 - 02:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xeon, xeon e5, Sandy Bridge E, Sandy Bridge EN, Sandy Bridge EP, lga 1356, lga 2011
Today marks the arrival of the Xeon E3-1200 single socket processor with 17 more models coming soon for two, four, or even eight socket motherboards, though according to The Inquirer Intel has no plans to scale to 16 sockets. They come in a bewildering array of models including the Sandy Bridge E we are used to, Sandy Bridge EN which uses LGA 1356 and is intended for dual CPU motherboards as it only has one QPI and the LGA 2011 Sandy Bridge EP which scales higher thanks to dual QPI. No triple QPI but that may still be in store to reduce the number of hops in an 8+ socket board to 2 when used in symmetric multiprocessing in the future.
The E5-2400 (SB-EP) has eight cores and is targeted straight at AMD's lower price, lower power consumption chips as well as offering a noticeable improvement over the already launched E3s. The E5-2600 family with its dual QPI is more suited for high powered applications that need several powerful processors working in tandem but not to the levels that the E7 series provides. By offering such a wide variety of choices, especially a family of what for Intel are very low cost processors they are really putting a lot of pressure on AMD and the soon to be released Piledriver family.
"If you were planning on buying new servers in the coming weeks and months, Intel just gave you a whole lot of homework. And if you work at Advanced Micro Devices, you're getting some homework, too."

Intel Announces New Xeon Processor to Power the Cloud
Subject: Processors | March 6, 2012 - 02:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xeon E5-2600, xeon e5, xeon, Sandy Bridge E, lga2011, Intel
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 6, 2012 – Addressing the incredible growth of data traffic in the cloud, Intel Corporation announced the record-breaking Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family. These new processors deliver leadership performance, best data center performance per watt, breakthrough I/O innovation and trusted hardware security features to enable IT to scale. These processors are not only at the heart of servers and workstations, but will also power the next generation of storage and communication systems from leading vendors around the world.
Forecasts call for 15 billion connected devices and over 3 billion connected users by 2015. The amount of global data center IP traffic is forecasted to grow by 33 percent annually through 2015, surpassing 4.8 zetabytes per year, more than 3 times the amount in 2011. At these levels, each connected user will generate more than 4GB of data traffic every day – the equivalent of a 4-hour HD movie. This will increase the amount of data that needs to be stored by almost 50 percent per year. In order to scale to meet this growth, the worldwide number of cloud servers is expected to more than triple by 2015.
"The growth in cloud computing and connected devices is transforming the way businesses benefit from IT products and services," said Diane Bryant, Intel vice president and general manager of the Datacenter and Connected Systems Group. "For businesses to capitalize on these innovations, the industry must address unprecedented demand for efficient, secure and high-performing datacenter infrastructure. The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family is designed to address these challenges by offering unparalleled, balanced performance across compute, storage and network, while reducing operating costs." The key requirements to enable IT to scale are performance, energy efficiency, I/O bandwidth and security. With the best combination of performance, built-in capabilities and cost-effectiveness, the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product families are designed to address these requirements, and become the heart of the next-generation data center powering servers, storage and communication systems.
Leadership Performance with Best Data Center Performance per Watt
Supporting up to eight cores per processor and up to 768GB of system memory, the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family increases performance by up to 80 percent, compared to the previous-generation Intel Xeon processor 5600 series. The family also supports Intel Advanced Vector Extension (Intel AVX) that increases the performance on compute-intensive applications such as financial analysis, media content creation and high performance computing up to 2 times.
Additional built-in technologies such as Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology and Intel Virtualization Technology provide IT with flexible capabilities to increase the performance of their infrastructure dynamically. These performance advances have led the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family to capture 1510 new dual socket x86 world records.
Modern data centers must improve the raw performance they deliver, but also do so efficiently by reducing power consumption and operating costs. The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family continue Intel's focus on reducing total cost of ownership by improving energy efficient performance more than 50 percent as measured by SPECpower_ssj 2008 compared to the previous generation Intel Xeon processor 5600 series. These processors offer support for tools to monitor and control power usage such as Intel Node Manager and Intel Data Center Manager, which provide accurate, real-time power and thermal data to system management consoles. In addition, Intel's leadership performance allows IT managers to meet their growing demands while optimizing software license and capital costs.
I/O Innovation and Network Capabilities
With the unprecedented growth in data traffic it is essential that systems not only improve computational abilities, but also enable data to flow faster to support data-hungry applications and increase the bandwidth within the data center. The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family meets these needs with Intel Integrated I/O (Intel IIO) and Intel Data Direct I/O (Intel DDIO). Intel DDIO allows Intel Ethernet controllers and adapters to route I/O traffic directly to processor cache, reducing trips to system memory reducing power consumption and I/O latency. The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family is also the first server processors to integrate the I/O controller supporting PCI Express 3.0 directly into the microprocessor. This integration reduces latency up to 30 percent11 compared to prior generations and with PCI Express 3.0 can up to triple the movement of data into and out of the processor.
The high-performance processing power along with Intel Integrated I/O and advanced storage features such as PCIe non-transparent bridging and asynchronous DRAM refresh, makes the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family also an ideal choice for storage and communications solutions.
Increasing bandwidth demands driven by server virtualization and data and storage network consolidation have led to strong growth in 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments, with adapter port shipments exceeding 1 million units in each quarter of 2011. Today's announcement of the Intel Ethernet Controller X540 demonstrates Intel's commitment to driving 10 Gigabit Ethernet to the mainstream by reducing implementation costs. This industry-first single-chip 10GBASE-T solution is designed for low-cost, low-power LAN on motherboard (LOM) and includes flexible I/O Virtualization and Unified networking support at no additional cost.
Trusted Security
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family reaffirms Intel's commitment to providing a more secure hardware foundation for today's data centers. Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instruction (Intel AES-NI14) helps systems to quickly encrypt and decrypt data running over a range of applications and transactions. Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT15) creates a trusted foundation to reduce the infrastructure exposure to malicious attacks. These features in partnership with leading software applications will help IT protect their data centers against attack and scale to meet the demands of their customers.
Extensive Industry Support
Starting today, system manufacturers from around the world are expected to announce hundreds of Intel Xeon processor E5 family-based platforms. These manufacturers include Acer, Appro, Asus, Bull, Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Hitachi, Huawei, IBM, Inspur, Lenovo, NEC, Oracle, Quanta, SGI, Sugon, Supermicro and Unisys.
Intel moves on the server room with 40 processors due for release
Subject: General Tech | January 3, 2012 - 01:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, server, cpu, Romley, Ivy Bridge-H2, xeon e3, xeon e5
The server room will be getting an update over the next year thanks to Intel releasing numerous CPU models based on different architectures. First up comes Romley with a total of seven 8-core Xeons, a half dozen 6-core Xeons including both the E5-1660 and 1650 as well as the E5-2640 and relatives, five 4-core Xeons and a single dual core CPU. That will take us until close to summer. By then Intel will be working on eleven different Ivy Bridge-H2 series CPUs including the Xeon E3-1290v2 as well as seven more higher end processors including Xeon E5-2470, which will take us towards the end of 2012.
In addition to the regular lineup, DigiTimes also lists four low power Xeons which will arrive in 2012 including the 8-core Xeon E5-2650L.
"Intel is set to launch 40 new processors including those for its upcoming Romley platform, in the first half of 2012 with the company to release 20 models each quarter, according to sources from server players."

Bulldozers at Knights Corner; duelling server chips
Subject: General Tech | November 16, 2011 - 12:36 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xeon e5, xeon, servers, opteron, knights ferry, knights corner, interlagos, hp, dell, bulldozer, acer
As you would expect, no sooner does AMD release news on its new line of Bulldozer era Opterons, Intel follows suit with news on their next generation of server chips. AMD hit the news and the server room first thanks to interest shown by Dell, HP and Acer. These vendors have based a series of 2U servers on AMD's new chip as well as a family of blade servers. Dell's Poweredge C6145 was probably the most ambitious, with 4 sockets you can have 128 cores and 1TB of DDR3 in a 2U rack mount server and FusionIO was suggesting the inclusion of their 1.2TB Iodrive Duo card to ensure your storage media can keep up.
Intel also spoke with The Inquirer and other news sites about their new Xeon E5 processor family as well as providing more information about Knights Bridge. Intel has reached out to a different set of clients for the new Xeon, focusing on NVIDIA's latest target market of High Performance Computing (that HPC acronym you see hanging around Fermi). They tout over 10,000 chips sold, some of which are sitting pretty in the TOP500. Also on display was their Knights Ferry accelerator board, again targeted for the HPC crowd that NVIDIA has been courting.
So this processor generation we have Intel and NVIDIA fighting it out for HPC customers, while AMD seems to be without major competition in high density computing, although ARM has certainly been making inroads into that market.
"AMD's partners have shown a small but impressive array of Bulldozer Opteron kit. Dell's 2U eight socket beast was arguably the most impressive of the lot on show in Munich, but AMD will know it needs more than just one vendor in its fight against Intel. Thankfully it has the might of HP also showing that its traditional rackmount and blade servers can make use of AMD's Bulldozer silicon."

I already wrote up a nice offline reply to this once today; let me do a shorter version with commentary for you as well. I'd be interested in comments to the contrary, but I suspect that Gentoo is pretty close to the worst possible choice for a cluster base. Maybe slackware is worse, I don't know. I personally would suggest that you go with one of the mainstream, reasonably well supported, package based distributions. Centos, FC, RH, SuSE, Debian/Ubuntu. I myself favor RH derived, rpm-based, yum-supported distros that can be installed by PXE/DHCP, kickstart, yum from a repository server. Installation of such a cluster on diskful systems proceeds as follows: a) Set up a mirror (probably a tertiary mirror) of e.g. FC6 or Centos 4. Choose the former if you want to run really current hardware and like really up to date libraries, choose a more conservative distro like Centos or RHEL if you want longer term support and less volatility. If Centos supports your hardware platforms it is a fine choice, but it often won't run on very new chipsets and CPUs. b) Set up a DHCP/PXE server -- dhcpd, tftpd, etc -- to enable diskless boot of the standard installation images for the distro of your choice. c) Develop a node kickstart file, and hotwire it into your installation image. This can be done per node architecture, or can be done once and for all and then customized per node architecture with smart runtime scripts (that's how Duke tends to do it, but then folks here invented the scripts). Set up dhcp/pxe so that a network boot option triggers the appropriate kickstart install. The %post script should do all end-stage configuration. d) Boot each node once with KV to set the bios to boot from the network, and record the MAC address of the boot interface(s). Enter these into your dhcp file and other /etc places so that your nodes each have a unique boot identity and name (like b01, b02, b03...). e) Boot each node a second time, and either select the kickstart install from the netboot options or boot the node with a toggle script or a BIOS boot order that will network boot the install the first time and thereafter boot it normally from disk unless you REQUEST a reinstall. Once the node is installed initiating a reinstall can be done via grub, for example, without any need for a KV hookup to the node. Voila! Instant cluster. a-c are done once, d and e are the only steps that require per-node action on your part. If you have a friendly vendor you may even be able to skip d if they are willing to preset the BIOS according to your specs and label the network ports with the connected MAC address. In that case you install the cluster by editing in the cluster's MAC address (on the server) and turning it the node on. Can't get MUCH easier than that, although there are some toolsets out there that will just glomph the MAC address from the initial netboot and do the tablework for you -- which may or may not work for you depending on your network and how much control you want over the node name and persistence of the node identity. Thereafter yum maintains the nodes automatically from the repo mirror -- you shouldn't have to "touch" the nodes as unique objects to be administered except when they break at the hardware level, ever again. An alternative for diskless nodes or nodes that don't actually boot from their local disks but use them instead for scratch space is to use warewulf with the distro of your choice. You still have to do a lot of the above, but warewulf "helps" you set up PXE and tftpd and so on, and lets you use a single image per node architecture. You still use yum or apt to update those images (with a bit more chroot-y work to accomplish it) but the core warewulf package helps you maintain node identity from the single image and diskless nodes are arguably more stable -- disk is one of the top two or three sources of hardware failure.

Neither Ken Whisenhunt nor Tom Moore is going to be the next offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.
Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the team will promote quarterbacks coach Adam Gase to offensive coordinator. Gase replaces Mike McCoy, who left the team to become head coach of the Chargers this week.
Whisenhunt was linked with the job on Wednesday after the Eagles hired Chip Kelly and it became clear that Whisenhunt wasn't landing another head coaching job after being fired by the Cardinals at the end of the regular season. Moore's name came up because of his connections to Peyton Manning from Indianapolis and his own desire to return to a coordinator position after spending the last couple of years consulting with the Jets and Titans.
In the end, though, the Broncos opted for continuity. Gase has been on the staff since 2009, serving first as the wide receivers coach before moving up to work with Manning and the other quarterbacks. That experience working with Manning and the fact that Manning can take on some of the play calling burden from the line of scrimmage likely helped convince John Fox that Gase could handle the promotion at 34 years of age.
