- Fujitsu Develops Chip-Simulation Environment for Mobile Phones
Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, April 14, 2009 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and Fujitsu Limited today announced the development of a simulation environment for modeling logic system-on-chips (SoCs) used in mobile phones, that will enable for the first time ever, high-precision assessment of system performance by using software that runs on the Symbian OS, and at operating speeds that allow for iterated executions over a short time. By applying this assessment environment during upstream design - early design stages - of a new handset model to evaluate the system's overall performance, and by feeding this information back into the chip design process, the risk of the need for re-design can be avoided, thereby enabling an earlier start of the software development phase and resulting in lower overall development costs.

Munich, January 5, 2009 – The majority of Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ professional PCs already meet the new EU directive regarding low standby power consumption.

Thanks to Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ innovative "Low Power Soft Off” function, PCs in the ESPRIMO C/E/P5730 and ESPRIMO E/P7935 series as well as the CELSIUS W370 workstation are already well below this value today. Around 90 percent of these professional PCs are even below 0.5 Watt – a rate that is not required by law until 2013. These high standards from the leading European IT infrastructure provider emphasize once again Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ environmental product policy and its innovative leadership in "Green IT". Last year, the company had already introduced its 0-Watt-Monitor.

(Fujitsu BSC) today announced that Oh-Pa 1/3 Data Server, an in-memory database product developed and sold by Fujitsu BSC, will act as the IT pillar of the product-tracking system for Odakyu Department Store Co., Inc., after upgrading its mission-critical IT system from a mainframe to an open-standard system. Instead of having to access a disk drive, all data is stored within the in-memory database, enabling high-speed processing of large volumes of data. With this function, daily ledger analysis reports containing over 500,000 detailed items from sales information from the previous day, can be processed in approximately four minutes. By switching to an open-standard system, product sales statistics from each store location can also be accessed through the Internet, allowing for quick reference and making daily sales strategies more effective.

In addition to being lightweight and thin, the color e-paper mobile terminal features an easy-to-view 8-inch display screen capable of showing up to 260,000 colors in high-definition, in addition to being equipped with Bluetooth and high-speed wireless LAN. FLEPia is also power-efficient, enabling up to 40 hours of continuous battery operation when fully charged, and does not require power for continuous display of a screen image, consuming power only during re-draw. Featuring significant storage capabilities, when used with a 4GB SD card, the color e-paper terminal can store the equivalent of 5,000 conventional paper-based books when each book is 300 pages long at 600KB per book, thus being environmentally friendly.
