Playing with PowerShell

[Expert Texture] I took the name change and, more importantly, promotion to release-candidate status, as the impetus to try it out. A rich command-line interface to the Digipede Network is on our future-list and I’m doing some prototyping now ”” it seemed as good a time as any.

Small Times: News about MEMS, Nanotechnology and Microsystems

Smalltimes.com[Smalltimes.com] The Texas Energy Center, Columbia University and several Texas universities with nanotechnology initiatives are working with ERCOT and the state power industry to create a research and development test bed for the smart grid. Our plan is to create and provide a national test bed in Texas for software and hardware tools that will use simulations and learning to plan for modernization, prevention of cascading failures, and response and remediation in case of attacks from both natural and man-made events.

WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Smart Grids, Grid Computing ...

Worldchanging.comhttp://www.worldchanging.com [Worldchanging.com] Like computer networks, a successful smart grid will take advantage of "end to end" topology, where the real smarts of the system can be found close to the points of use, not centralized. Telecom researcher David Isenberg referred to this system in the information world as a "stupid network" in a seminal 1997 article.

How to debug Perl apps with Eclipse

[Linux Web Developer] Many Perl programmers rely on print statements and so-called "postmortem debugging." Others use the built-in Perl debugger. Neither provides a coherent execution environment for monitoring the execution of a script, and neither supports the debugging of a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script during execution.

Grid Computing and Excel

http://westcoastgrid.blogspot.com [West Coast Grid] I get lots of hits on this blog from people searching on "grid computing and Excel" or "cluster computing and Excel," so I thought I'd point people to the Digipede whitepaper page. My colleague Kim recently finished a great whitepaper on using Excel with the Digipede Network;

Network.com NOT for Most Web 2.0 Apps

http://hoo-ville.blogspot.com [Convergence] Jonathan Schwartz boldly proclaimed the service as "the first, publicly accessible instantiation of the future of computing." Clearly, this is a good thing for network-centric computing and there has been a great deal of discussion online regarding the impact of the release. Although I applaud Sun for moving one step closer toward their vision of "The Network is the Computer", the solution really is not applicable to most companies that are developing web-based software applications.

Grid Computing in Pharma - Bioinform (3/24/06)

[ business|bytes|genes|molecules] The March 24th issue of Bioinform (subscription required) has an article on distributed computing entitled “Distributed Computing is Alive and Well on Pharma Desktops Despite Some Licensing and Tech Glitches”. Being somewhat skeptical of the usability of distributed computing in pharma environments, I was very curious to see what the article concluded.

Vogels on Scalability

http://westcoastgrid.blogspot.com [West Coast Grid] Because scalability cannot be an after-thought. It requires applications and platforms to be designed with scaling in mind, such that adding resources actually results in improving the performance or that if redundancy is introduced the system performance is not adversely affected.Right on!
