The Navel of Narcissus: With virtualization, the choice of operating system, application, and software stack is left to end users (or ISVs) who package their software into pre-built virtual machines for execution on an HPC hardware resource, much the way cloud computing offerings work today. In such an environment, site administrators manage the life cycle of virtual machines rather than configuring and providing a proliferation of different software stacks to meet their users' disparate needs.

[Technology] HPC Trends and Virtualization - Technology: Using Live Migration, a distributed resource management system can make dynamic provisioning decisions to shift running jobs onto different compute nodes to free resources for an arriving high-priority job, or to consolidate running workloads onto fewer resources for power management purposes.

[Lambda the Ultimate - Programming Languages Weblog] Why Multi-Core is Easy and Internet is Hard | Lambda the Ultimate: While it may be true that few aloof gurus from academia *think* that they solved them long ago, and that there is indeed a sociological problem with engineers, the challenges of heterogeneous multicore computing are still to be addressed. I'm working on complex, heterogeneous systems and the feedback we've had from academia is below expectations: they could work with simplistic systems but as soon as we went beside the 'hello world' app their programming model could not deliver.

[Metaphorical Web] What is the Metaphorical Web? - A Statement of Purpose: It is for this reason that RSS feeds have continued to dominate as data transport mechanisms even when SOAP and WSDL were being splashed across the front page of every tech magazine worldwide - syndication is a strong metaphor on the web, one that works consistently with the publishing model embedded in HTTP. It’s highly indicative that nearly eight years after SOAP/WSDL based web services were first introduced, they remain largely viable only within the immediate confines of department-to-department implementations, behind closed firewalls over homogenous system implementations.

[Noticeboard] School of Computing Science : Events: Algebraic methods have been used successfully to reason about transformation rules for standard (i.e., non-probabilistic) programs which may include demonic non-determinism. For example, - Kozen and others have used the algebra of regular expressions, Kleene algebra, extended with tests to reason about compiler optimisations in a partial correctness framework, - Back and von Wright have applied algebraic reasoning t verify data refinement theorems, and separation and reduction rules for action systems in a total correctness framework, and - Cohen has used algebraic methods to develop and verify generalised separation and reduction theorems in a partial correctness framework.

[From The Gurus And Members at Dobbs Code Talk] Dobbs Code Talk - Ruby on Rails: Same as the Old Boss?: So the question remains - as corporate enterprise acceptance of Rails becomes more widespread, will those programmers who pride themselves to be members of the extreme right of the binomial distribution technology adoption curve turn their attention toward more recent frameworks like Django to satisfy their need to keep searching, keep re-engineering until the unquenchable thirst for the perfect developer solution can be satiated?

To do this we can take advantage of one of the powerful foibles of iterative calculation mode —
