Interconnect topology definitely does affect Linpack performance, perhaps not to the degree that it affects some other hard cases, but it is definitely a factor and shows up in the ratio of Rpeak to Rmax. Even so a 2D mesh of Infiniband or 10GbE connections is sufficient for all but the most chatty of problems.
Uh, why? If the vector units on GPU's are now good for doing real scientific workloads why would you want to nerf the test? Remember the big NEC earth simulator that was on the top of the list for so long, it was nothing but a bunch of vector processors. If they can get information in and out of the GPU fast enough and have enough interconnect bandwidth with low enough latency then it's useful for doing most supercomputer type workloads.
None of the best selling cars in the US (except the Accord coupe) can do 0-60 in under 8.4 seconds so I think most people will be quite happy with the performance. The X1 also has the best handling in an SUV (it's basically a 3 series wagon with higher ride height). Oh and I plan to keep mine for at least 200k miles so the gas savings should be significant =)
I have to drive and I'd like 4WD due to the winters around here so I might as well get the vehicle that best accomplishes those two goals while having the least impact on the environment.
I find that hard to fathom, you can fit 8 SFF HDD's in a 1U server which means about 4TB of flash with current densities and about 100k dollars for enterprise class drives.
The Emma Mærsk can carry ~154k metric tons while using only 66 gallons per mile meaning 406,000 gallons for Shanghai to San Francisco or ~2.7 gallons per ton which is ~.0012 gallons per lb, so yeah it probably takes more BTU's to boil the water to cook the potatoes.
Your cost estimate includes $4/gallon gas which is my own estimate for gas over the next 10 years but which certainly hasn't been the average for the last 10 so it's just now starting to work that way economically which when combined with technological progress is why we are just now seeing mass produced EV's.
The Tesla motor is light, small, and fairly powerful, there aren't a lot of COTS motors with all three attributes (if there were Tesla wouldn't have sunk so much of their early R&D dollars into developing it).
Really low Cd cars are very expensive to produce because steel and aluminum are extremely hard to bend into smooth complex curves and of course you can't have much under the hood to get to the level of concept cars (boxer engines can help).
Exactly, according to my phone I've called *911 3 times in the last 2 months, all to report either accidents or disabled vehicles in travel lanes without flashers.
BMW x1 20D does 5.1L/100km highway (5.8 combined) and is neither a death trap nor a clown car so we are making reasonable vehicles, they just aren't for sale in the US yet =)
BMW x1 20D, 41MPG(US), 0-61 8.4 seconds. 260lb/ft of torque on a 3,500lb car so plenty peppy when pressing the gas down. I can't wait till they go one sale in ~14 months here in the US.
BMW doesn't charge a huge premium for their diesels and if you look at something like the X1 and compare the available engine's there is a LOT more than a ~11% difference in MPG (gas is 34.8MJ/L, diesel 38.6). The X1 25i is actually more expensive than the 23D but the 23D has WAY more torque and almost the same HP (40% more and 5% less) yet the diesel has 40% better fuel economy (5.2L/100km vs 7.2)
Dear god, the treasury loss on GM is estimated to be ~$8B or about $26 per person, stop the whining already. The defense department is planning to spend that much just to upgrade the software on the F22 and you don't see people droning on about that endlessly.
Actually you can raise the noise floor enough across the entire licensed spectrum to blind the receiving antenna and hence drop the sector you are pointed at from ~30 channels to just your one.
Yes, basically you take a yagi and point it at the nearest tower and then attach an omni via a short cable and you have a passive repeater that should cover a house nicely. Though to be of much use it would probably need to go through the roof.
This would be an implied contract which is by far the weakest form so I find it unlikely that a minor change to the schedule and grading policy would be a material breach. Also you would have to show harm which would be difficult since you are there to learn the material being tested.
5 miles can be achieved with only 30mW using a 13.5dBi yagi antenna. Even a 12dBi omni would push 30mW to 4.5 miles outdoors. Bump the power to 100mW and they go to 9.5 and 8 miles respectively. This is over flat terrain with the antenna mounted above the fresnel cone height so there are obviously many factors that could change the actual range affected but you can get some idea of how big an area can be impacted by even a fairly low power booster that's not properly configured.
Uh, how is a booster any different than a passive antenna for capturing radio signals? The cellular part of the connection is either secure or it isn't.
Hotspot@Home is still available as a plan and UMA is still available on their Blackberry models, the wifi router however is no longer available. It's the reason I'm still with them, no carrier has coverage in my whole house (as it's small at 1200 sq ft) and since I am on call one week a month I need reliable coverage. At work we have boosters for both AT&T/T-mobile and Verizon as the entire lower level of our building has no coverage otherwise, when the contractor installed the system they didn't have the output power properly attenuated and we were apparently blinding a quadrant on the Verizon tower, they identified us as the source and asked us to turn it off then came back a few days later to help the contractor properly adjust the levels. If they had banned us from having the repeater they would have simply lost all our business (only 30 or so lines, but we have over 400 total and have considered moving the bulk to Verizon since AT&T has been pissing us off for the last 3 years).

HP DL 360 G7's can fit 8 2.5" drives.

Definitely, along with much better intelligent chargers that allow for rapid charging without risking damage to the cells or electrodes.
Strictly due to tax policy, and thanks to a lack of world refining capacity it will probably go up significantly in the next few years.

Actually it's WOW64, WOW isn't supported on 64bit OS's (no more Win3.1 programs for you!).

Since a syllabus is not signed by either party and doesn't not have consideration for either party I fail to see how it is a binding contract.
