Clearing bottlenecks is the goal of Intel's XML Suite

By David Worthington

September 24, 2008 — Intel updated today its XML Software Suite processing libraries to version 1.1, seeking to offset bottlenecks in enterprise workloads and providing a benchmark utility that the company says will establish a baseline to compare the performance of XML solutions.

With this release, Intel focused on delivering better XML parsing and schema validation, as well as making XML Software Suite easier to integrate with Java development software and middleware.

"Looking at traffic in enterprise workloads, we are seeing the rise of XML becoming a factor in what chews up a lot of CPU cycles in systems," said David Hinz, director of marketing and business development at Intel. "It is important enough for us to get after it and provide better processing libraries than there are today.”

To that end, XML Software Suite is optimized with instructions for Intel's next-generation Nehalem microarchitecture, he said, adding that it also enables developers to write parallelized code that scales with hardware.

Nehalem will be created using the company's hafnium-based 45nm high-k metal gate silicon technology. It will be the first Intel processor to use QuickPath, a technology for shared memory among processors.

XML Software Suite 1.2 will follow suit in November with an updatable DOM tree structure that is refreshed when necessary for increased performance, rather than being recreated, Hinz explained. API improvements and extended support for Web services are also slated for the release. Intel will also support the Streaming API for XML, JSR 173.

In version 1.1, Intel created a direct interface for Java for easier adoption into middleware and development environments such as Apache Tomcat and Eclipse. Compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was also added.

Intel is making its XML benchmark utility broadly available as a non-branded open-source binary. “We are attempting to put a stake in the ground for standard benchmarks,” Hinz noted.

XML Software Suite is available for US$199, and Intel is providing a 30-day evaluation copy free of charge. The company has announced a partnership with SOA software maker MuleSource to offer integration support for the Intel XML Software Suite with Mule Xpack. Xpack includes a 60-day license to XML Software Suite, according to Hinz.
