    How about parity calcs on something that can deal with them - GPGPUs?

    And this is why Slashdot does not need signed certificates - this place is the only one where the parent post could for a second be considered serious.

  4. Re:Solved, but at a price on RAID's Days May Be Numbered · · Score: 1

    Sounds fun being a storage engineer. But why not make the database the filesystem and volume manager and software RAID? The layering and flexibility are already there, no need to retrofit anything, just put a small binary in the kernel and wrap it with POSIX.

    Gahhhh, I hate propietary one purpose controlers...
    Where does that take us? Any serious computer *cough* mainframes *cough* the Amiga *cough* has dedicated I/O coprocessors. Heck, Intel CPUs could have had them, the 8089 was just that, but stupid beancounters in IBM though that it was not worthy of a socket. Seriously, parity calculations go on the GPU, and anything else on the IO core. Whether the data in question is going through the SATA bus, or Ethernet, or PCI, or whatever, it shouldn't matter. </rant>

    All of the above are dependent on the JIT engine, maybe a wrapper library on top.

    By the way, my "area" computing potential are the measly computer labs at school, but thanks for thinking I'm higher up than I am.

    Hardware virtualization is supported, but not as well integrated. Apparently lack of customer interest. Good enough is the enemy of perfect.

  13. Re:Virtualisation missing on Sneak Peek At Sun's SPARC Server Roadmap · · Score: 1

    Zones separate userspace sections from each other, and change the kernel interfaces for each one. It's almost equivalent to full virtualization, though you can only present a linux and a solaris abi to userspaces.

    Anonymous Coward is at #666, so you don't got anything on him.

  15. Re:Viruses don't live on Creating a Quantum Superposition of Living Things · · Score: 1

    That is assuming objective judgment on the side of the female. Considering general human experience, our species doesn't fare so well against other ones (being dumber makes less room for subjectivity) so, in other words, everybody who isn't stereotypically and socially acceptably smart is screwed in the bad sense of the word. As a vocal drug legalization advocate, and nice person with a shitload of quirks, I've had my fair share of turndowns on that basis.
