[Dr.Dobb's High Performance Computing Articles] When I got home that evening, there was a message on the answering machine from David, saying that he had gotten two cycles out of the inner loop. (It's been a long time, and my memories have faded, so it may not have been exactly two cycles, but you get the idea.) I called him back, but he wasn't home (this was before cellphones were widespread).

Ten-gigabit ethernet connections to servers, storage and between switches are the design direction now, which will scale up as the IEEE develops the 40 GbE and 100GbE standards, expected to be ratified in 2010.

Then they spent that money all on hype and PR, handing out free disks, and making a web site with forum software, and getting Ubuntu fanbois to spam the internet with misguided hype about how this most overrated of Linux distros is “the one”.

The fact is, basic business processes, from financial management to HR management to supply chain management to distribution management, don't change that much - they're about and will always be about processing and keeping track of a lot of fairly routine transactions in various forms - and are not going to suck up a lot more processing cycles in the future.

[Digit-Life.com] AMD/ATI DirectX 10 Series: RADEON HD 2900 XT (R600): Huge performance of floating point math computations in modern video cards and flexibility of unified architectures have given an impetus to using GPUs to compute physics in games and more serious tasks: mathematical and physical modeling, economic and statistical models and computations, OCR, image processing, scientific graphics, and so forth.
[SuperSite Blog - All Comments] Microsoft: XP is supported through April 2014 - SuperSite Blog: @all: I'd like to see how you can validate cost savings of running new hardware on old software when a lot of the drivers that allow the newer hardware to work don't take full advantage of it on XP. Likewise, when you look at deployment on new hardware, adding drivers and rebuilding images is a PiTA on XP, unless you're using expensive third-party software to eliminate a lot of the manual scripting required.
[Coding Horror] Coding Horror: Large USB Flash Drive Performance: After losing my one and only USB flash drive (which I used all of 2 or 3 times), I picked up a 16 GB SD card for my camera packaged with a USB card reader. No, it's not as convenient as a flash drive, it requires carrying around two things instead of just one, but for people who don't use flash drives very often but do want to have the ability to carry large amounts of data on something small (for those trips to Kinkos to have a 50 page document filled with uncompressed pictures printed), it works quite well.
