The End of Moore’s Law and the Law of Accelerating Return - (USA)
Kevin Kelly at The Technium posted one of his trademark book length blog posts going into extraordinary detail on the nature of Moore’s Law, and what sort of factors behind it are its driving force. He starts the post with a fascinating graphic originally created in 1953 as a part of a research report by Air Force Office of Scientific Research plotting the progress of top speed. The general explanation is that Moore’s Law isn’t naturally occurring physical law, but one of economic

DEEP FREEZE STANDARD V6.52.020.2735 - (USA)
Deep Freeze Standard v6.52.020.2735 | 5.10 MB Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves baseline computer configurations. No matter what changes a user makes to a workstation, simply restart to eradicate all changes and reset the computer to its original state - right down to the last byte. Expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity and technical support time is reduced or eliminated completely. The result is consistent trouble-free computing on a truly protected and parallel

Faster Qubit Bit Flips - (USA)
The promise of quantum computing is that it will dramatically outshine traditional computers in tackling certain key problems: searching large databases, factoring large numbers, creating uncrackable codes and simulating the atomic structure of materials. A quantum step in that direction, if you'll pardon the pun, has been taken by Stanford researchers who announced their success in a paper published in the journal Nature. Working in the Ginzton Laboratory, they've employed ultrafast lasers to

Will the Next "Thought Leader" Please Stand Up? - (USA)
Four years ago, Nicholas Negroponte announced the One Laptop per Child initiative and the $100 laptop to much fan-fare at Davos in Switzerland. He captured the imaginations of world leaders with promises of ultra-affordable computing for school children around the world. He talked about changing the way children learn, improving their education and ultimately accelerating their access to the knowledge economy by deploying hundreds of millions of laptops. That same year, Intel's

Supercomputers Break Petaflop Barrier, Transforming Science - (USA)
A new crop of supercomputers is breaking down the petaflop speed barrier, pushing high-performance computing into a new realm that could change science more profoundly than at any time since Galileo, leading researchers say. When the Top 500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers was announced at the international supercomputing conference in Austin, Texas, on Monday, IBM had barely managed to cling to the top spot, fending off a challenge from Cray. But both competitors broke petaflop

If Dali had a supercomputer: amazing supernova rendering - (USA)
Capturing complex visualizations, such as the above Dali-esque rendering of a supernova, don’t just produce pretty pictures ideal for desktop wallpapers. They also allow scientists to see simulations of complex physical, chemical and biological phenomena. Unfortunately generating the quadrillions of data points required for visualizations of everything from supernovas to protein structures is quickly overwhelming current computing capabilities. So scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (D

Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems, Second Edition - (USA)
Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems, Second Edition Product Description Tremendous progress has been made in the scientific and engineering disciplines regarding the use of iterative methods for linear systems. The size and complexity of linear and nonlinear systems arising in typical applications has grown, meaning that using direct solvers for the three-dimensional models of these problems is no longer effective. At the same time, parallel computing, becoming less expensive and sta

Cloud is Not a Big Switch - (USA)
Why Carr’s analogy doesn’t describe today’s cloud environments and how SOA can get us closer to what he describes Back when cloud first starting drifting in to obscure the computing landscape there were a lot of parallels drawn between it and grid, and a lot of analogies used to explain the concept behind it. Cloud computing is most often analogized using Nicolas Carr’s analogy of the cloud as an electrical grid ; that’s always bothered me at almost a visceral level. But I could never art

ExpressCard 2.0 specification nears finalization - (USA)
It’s not only USB 3.0 that has today; ExpressCard too has notched up another specification, taking it to 2.0. Based on PCI Express 2.0 and USB 3.0 specifications, ExpressCard 2.0 will support data transfers from between two and ten times faster than the current version. That can be used in anything from SATA 2 drive attachment, to ExpressCard flash-memory expansion. As with USB 3.0, ExpressCard 2.0 slots will be backward compatible with cards based on the existing v1.2 specification. Del

In today’s modern PC’s the GPU and CPU exist in a co-processing environment where each can handle the computing task they are best suited for. The CPU is good at performing sequential calculations, I/O, and program flow. The GPU excels at performing parallel calculations. By using both, you are essentially using the best tool for the job. Microsoft announced that Windows 7 hit the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) milestone, which means we are on the verge of the launch of the first Windows
