  1. protected memory? 30 years too late by toby · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft's Most Successful Failure
    protected memory (when apps crash, the OS survives)

    Only more than thirty years after it was industry standard... Another M$ innovation, I see.

    It runs on the VMS Operating System? http://www.levitte.org/~ava/index.htmlx- Ouch - just joking :-)

    One of my friends http://slashdot.org/~js7a/journal/85222 makes the following points:

    Speech recognition, consisting of a small (cpu time-wise) DSP front end, vector quantization(s), and in the majority a Viterbi beam search algorithm, is not an I/O bound process. The viterbi beam search is dereference-intensive, has a very wide memory access pattern, and otherwise involves only multiplication, addition, and a few other basic math operations.

    I note that the Sphinx-4 performance statistics page lists only word error rates, not execution times or memory utilization.

    I think Java is a very poor choice for Viterbi beam search, unless perhaps they call C operations to perform the inner loop(s.)
    While I don't have anything against java for certain tasks, in many cases its still "not fast enough". Mind you, "fast enough" is a moving target (Thank you, Mr. Moore).

    A very good collection of links and information conserning VMS can be found here

    The site is very insightful.. and I think it can be read through in a couple of hours. =)

    I'm gonna go find a story about OS/2. It will surely get accepted today!

    Roger! Okay, I'll grab one about VMS. Then can we call it teh day?

    You want Unix jokes? How about a collection of Anti-Unix/MS-Windows jokes? This is from a site dedicated to Information about the VMS operating system. Sour grapes, perhaps?

    Code is garbage in garbage out.
