NEW laws designed to keep sensitive scientific information out of the hands of terrorists will entangle universities in red tape and force researchers abroad, leading scientists and academics said yesterday.
The funding levels have already done that.
There is probably a job available in the US for every scientist in the UK that wants one (within a 2 mile radius I know of at least 6 jobs available in my field and there are only a hundred or so people working in that field in the entire UK). I get paid 50% more here than I would in the UK... and the cost of living is lower.
You want to make the lookup tables dynamic in the sense that you may deallocate them when you run out of memory. At the expense of a conditional statement, you have fast lookups... until you run out of memory and at this point you explicitly calculate everything.
In Scotland, there was a trial with credit card-like replacements for each bill (or each note, as it is called in Britian). I thought it was great - perfectly washable -- for example, I could take my wallet kayaking and not care about getting it wet.
Unfortunately, everyone else hated the idea, so it was dropped.
MacOS X doesn't strike me as a good choice for a cluster OS. No process migration. No kernel-level checkpointing. No network channel bonding. etc. etc.
Does anyone know what software they'll be using to study those proteins?
The French people will just pop over the border to Spain or Belgium, or somewhere, and buy the untaxed gigabytes there...
...so unless the tax is sufficiently low, the French government will soon realise that they are losing more in sales taxes than they are gaining in Gb taxes.
My office is directly above a second-hand bookshop on a university campus. I often browse through the books on offer, which are typically around 2/3rds of the original published price. It is almost always still cheaper to buy and ship the books from Europe!
For example, my most recent purchase of 3 books cost the equivalent of $98, in total, from the UK. The price here (say from Amazon.com) would have been about $160. The second hand bookshop had one of those books (the famous Modern Operating Systems) for $15 less than the published price - still $5 more than the price that I paid.
I don't know how much the dicounted Microsoft Office costs now, but IIRC in the UK 4 years ago it cost 149 pounds ~= $200 USD. Now, that would position _undiscounted_ Star Office at 1/3 of the cost of the _discounted_ MS Office. So not "Ngh..."
(If someone knows the real cost of the Student edition of MS Office, I'd be happy to hear it.)
As I understand it (and I may be wrong) the agreement only relates to the institution's computers. You would need to pay the full price ($79.95 US) for your own computer. That probably doesn't matter because it is unlikely you'll need any features not in the free Open Office.
If speed is an issue, then you'd nearly always choose the native compiler.
This isn't automatically true. What? You don't think that it isn't automatically true that you would nearly always choose the native compiler?
OpenMP isn't available, but threading is; you can use various forms of native threads for C or C++, or you can go straight to Java or Ada and let the compiler deal with the native threads.
So I assume that you've tried debugging multi-threaded C/C++ code with gdb then? Java isn't an option for typical CPU intensive code. I'd love to use Ada, except I'm not about to migrate half a million lines of code.
I agree with what you say, but would like to add a few comments:
- If speed is an issue, then you'd nearly always choose the native compiler. (Supporting multiple compilers does introduce extra issues because lazy programmers will rely on a portable compiler instead of writing portable code.) gcc couldn't be expected to compete, speed-wise, on a huge range of systems.
- In the case where you ship code, you shouldn't rely on the end-user having a particular compiler. I really, really wish that every system did have gcc though.
- If you need OpenMP / threaded code, then gcc/gdb aren't even in the race.
Often pure speed isn't a crucial requirement. (With my code speed _is_ critical, but that's besides the point). However, this isn't the only advantage of icc.
Icc also: * Supports OpenMP. * Has a great debugger for multithreaded code. * Has handy profiling and optimisation tools. * Is highly standards compliant.
Granted, gcc wins hands down on portability though.
Yes the x86 platform is very important, and therefore I would have expected a competent compiler developer to at least take a look at the free (as in beer) Intel compiler.
Mitchel comments that the speed of _your_ code it the only important benchmark. This is very true. Well, my code runs, on average, 2.1 times faster on my PC when compiled with the Intel compiler. This speed increase is just too large to ignore.
A friends application runs more than 3x faster after compilation with icc. -- And that is after spending considerable effort determining the optimal optimisation parameters for gcc, and then just using "-O2 -tpp6" with icc!!!
I like gcc... but it is currently losing the race.

Why don't you submit yhis query to the computational chemistry mailing list (see CCL)
Those people may be able to give you some sensible suggestions, especially with respect to those particular peices of software.
I believe that you can restrict the amount of memory that Gaussian uses via its keywords. When it requires more, it will handle the dumping of data to disk itself. Read the manual - I haven't used gaussian since g94 was the current version so can't remember..
How big is your AMBER simulation? I think I would run a smaller system... or even better... buy some more RAM given that it is dirt cheap nowadays.
AMBER's memory use is a bit heavy - you may have better luck with another MD package. Maybe NAMD? (Although I'd still vote for the "buy more RAM" option)
They don't perform carbon dating on a living part of the bush. As the story explains, new shoots on the upwind side can not survive... so the brush gradually "moves" downwind. They find root remains far upwind of the bush and test those.
Having said that, I'll be surprised if they manage to find many 11 000 year old root remains with sufficient DNA remaining to confirm that they belong to the same plant.
Loki supported sevel open-source projects. One of these was supposedly their "uninstall utility", but unfortunately they never released the code (as far as I can tell).
I will be releasing some UNIX software soon, and this thing would be useful for sure. The Loki binaries don't run on all of my target platforms.
Since they don't have any employees, now, does anyone have any ideas about how I could obtain this code?

I live in denmark,

Never mind, hey. I promise not to comment on Sorensen's own goal in this reply.
and when i buy my dvds online from England i pay vat/taxes there
I live in the US, but I buy nearly all of my books, CDs and DVDs from England. I don't have to pay any VAT.

"Customs and Excise" in Britian.

Yes but the Intel compiler is here NOW. And, my code is shipping NOW.
When will a stable gcc 3.2 be available? I expect the Intel compiler will have been improved again by then. Compare icc 5 with icc 6.

MEGASTeP,
I tried emailing you but the email bounced because you are over your quota!
Cool, that's exactly what I wanted.
Cheers.

Based on the title, Tom's Hardware have a very similar review.
No bandwidth problems here.
