So the compiler needs to decide which code to run on which cpu, that requires also deciding on which system data is stored and how communication is taking place. Basicly leading to the same idea as hpfortran.
If cray gets this working that would be great ofcourse but I doubt it. Combining several different cpu's is a good idea but this is already occuring. As noted in another reply SGI calls this "Multi-Paradigm Computing" which I consider as a much better buzzword.
Using 'adaptive' implies some sort of automated 'on the fly' process of deciding where run code. This has been tried several times and works but not without performace issues.
While I must admit "Adaptive Supercomputing" sound like a realy cool buzz word, in practice the programmer still will need to adapt the application to the physical distribution of the systems. Or are they going to dynamicly rewire the switches?
There have been several attempts (hpfortran, orca, etc..) to automate parallisme but most of them failed because a skilled programmer could create a much faster application within a few days. And remeber that a 10% performance boost in these applications means thousands of dollars saved.
That did not apply to windows xp but to windows 95 and me.
Maybe it could be done but this is the reason it will only be done for xp. On the other hand, having seen some of microsofts products it doesnt suprise me that a web browser which executes remote code (activex) is part of the os.
I was reading the article but couldn't find a price before it got slashdotted.
But I think this will cost at least a few hunderd. Then why not just use a provider who offers video on demand, you might need to pay a euro per show but that would be hunders of shows before you spend the same amount. Maybe if you watch several recorded shows a day it might be usefull but I think most people (me atleast) dont watch that much.
From the article:
Last year, Mr. Barrett studied the manual Microsoft produced for four days, tried to use it to write programs and, in December, pronounced it "totally unusable." "There is apparently no structure and no logic in the whole documentation," he wrote in his report
From the website: "You are entering an Official United States Government System, which may be used only for authorized purposes. Unauthorized modification of any information stored on this system may result in criminal prosecution. The Government may monitor and audit the usage of this system, and all persons are hereby notified that use of this system constitutes consent to such monitoring and auditing."
This is just to create logs of the slashdot effect so they can use this to bring down enemy websites.
This is just plain propaganda, they only release documents for which they know the contents. This is just a bunch of crap
An RFID tag is the same as any user input and can not be trusted. When your applications are programmed with this in mind from the start this shouldnt be a problem.
But ofcourse there are nowadays lots of websites which are vurnerable for sql injection and similiar hacks. Even google had a cross site scriptiog exploit.
Just changing the root password is not enough, this 'bug' was here for months any could have installed a rootkit or did who knows what. This is going to be a fresh install for me.
And that fresh install will be gentoo. This is really embarrassing for Ubunutu. Iam just so happy my work servers all run solaris.
Well the "new" intels are faster then the "old" amd's. This not suprising Intel has plenty of cash and had to come out with a cpu faster then amd.
The big question will be how will this compare to the next generation of AMD cpu's. And what will the price be. If amd will be faster per dollar the rise of amd will continue.
While we're still comparing to Socket-939 and only using RD480, it does seem very unlikely that AMD would be able to make up this much of a deficit with Socket-AM2 and RD580. Especially looking at titles like F.E.A.R. where Conroe's performance advantage averages over 40%, it looks like Intel's confidence has been well placed.
Also keep in mind that we are over six months away from the actual launch of Conroe, performance can go up from where it is today. We also only looked at the 2.66GHz part, the Extreme Edition version of Conroe will most likely be clocked around 3.0GHz which will extend the performance advantage even further.
AMD still does have some time to surprise us with AM2, but from what we've seen today, they are going to have to do a lot of work to close this gap. We saw performance today in the two areas that we were most concerned about with Conroe: gaming and media encoding, and in both Intel greatly exceeded our expectations. Also remember that Conroe should be lower power than the AMD offering we compared it to, although we weren't able to measure power consumption at the wall in our brief time with the systems.
Going into IDF we expected to see a good showing from Conroe, but leaving IDF, well, now we just can't wait to have it.
I have a link in my sig with a discount coupon if you use it I earn a few dollars and you save 90. Who cares? If you dont like it go somewhere else are disable sigs.
Ofcourse its highly likely that these issue where caused by hardware issues or stupid operaters. The issue is that how do we ever know? It took 2 years even to get this logs public.
The issue is that black box voting machines can not be checked and are open to fraudulent/faulty actions.
All these issues should have been identified on election day so that appropriate actions could be taken (revote, dismiss votes, no issue, etc...)

So I suspect this is just a buzz word.
Oh my god I cant write anymore. I must call someone ;-)
And how many times did you call? 2 times and you where put on hold 50%-60%?
Or did you make enough calls to 911 to make it statiscly relevant? If so you where put on hold while they send out the police to arrest you!

Microsoft sells the xbox360 also in places where the DCMA means nothing.
And we all know the answer will be 42, so why bother?
There was also little to no damamge done. I've they would do it again this would result in a fine.

Well methanol isnt that expensive. You will probably be sued if you start refilling cartridges but the methanol price is not the issue.

For christ sake this is slashdot!
In my mind an image popups of of powerfull, reliable and secure software. Not the best looking but something you can build your business on.
With SUSE I think about some guys who decide to package a bunch of free software.
I think most of the "older" IT decision makers still remember the old novell software as being pretty stable.

More from the show as we get it...
I think this shows this was done on purpose to lock out amd users. A lawsuit by amd should be succesfull.
No 30 years ago these where communist, now they are terrorist training camps.
There must a preemptive strike or they will surely destroy our civilization. Those alien terrorist just hate us because our planet is blue.

TRANSPARANCY is the key,
I created a mirror for the subpoenas, including easy to read html versions.
I heard you can connect a vcr to the output and then record everything you play, I can imagine the studios are upset.
