remotely. It keeps track of fire-suppression, smoke and leak detection, HVAC, and airflow
control systems. The ECS displays power consumption data, PUE, and alarm conditions on
a touch screen monitor inside the EcoPOD or on a remote computer. You can integrate the
ECS with existing building management systems through system modbus or TCP/IP.

Meet the Expert—Bill Whiteman





Name: Bill Whiteman
Title: Distinguished Technologist, Electrical
Years at HP: 22
University: University of Houston Electrical
Engineering-Computer Option


U.S. Patents: 10







Bill Whiteman is a Distinguished Technologist in HP Industry Standard Servers (ISS). He
is an expert on alternative platforms, analysis, prototyping, and proof-of-concepts, and he
writes and edits specifications. He has a broad range of skills with inventions in every
computer subsystem. He is also on the Board of Directors of the HyperTransport

Consortium.

Bill grew up in southeast Houston, Pasadena to be exact, where his father was in
Engineering Design at the Shell Deer Park chemical plant.


He has an eye for innovation



Bill has the ability to see potential in new ideas and then influence others to make them a
reality. As a case in point, he championed putting GPGPUs into servers about seven
years ago by showing working prototypes. Today, HP provides GPGPUs on 14 different

ProLiant servers in multiple configurations and offers complete supercomputer clusters of
purpose-built ProLiant servers. Even vendors for proprietary supercomputers are using
this idea.


Favorite project: Birth of the AMD x86 server



Before AMD-based x86 servers took their first breath, Bill proved mathematically that the
Opteron architecture could achieve benchmark performance above 100,000 tpmC. At that
time, the industry’s best score was around 80,000 tpmC. After engineers built and tested
the first prototype, it turned out that Bil ’s calculations were a little conservative. Th

e server
achieved 112,000 tpmC. That prototype eventually became the ProLiant DL585, which
paved the way for subsequent AMD-based industry-standard servers.


Dreams of AI



Bil has several hobbies: automotive restoration and repair, ‖shooting and reloading,‖ R/C
airplanes, modeling and casting, and surfing. But he has always wanted to be involved
with Artificial Intel igence and robots ever since Asimov made his debut. Because of Bill’s

experiences, he understands the complexities of creating a device that can think on its
own. He says, ―This era hasn’t happened yet, so I’m still plugging away.‖


HP has the right formula



Bill believes that HP has the right formula for leadership. He says HP listens to its
customers and uses emerging technologies to create solutions to their ―real‖ problems.

―And for that,‖ he says, ―HP will remain an industry leader.‖
