  • Knot Tying

  • Tilera preps 100-core chips for network gear • The Register

    What darkness lurks in the hearts of men? Only the shadow knows right? Or possibly a Tilera Chip sitting in an NSA data skimming operation located at your local Internet GigaPOP.

  • TMS flash array blows Big Blue away • The Register

    While flash memory chips cost more per Gigabyte to store data than a comparable spinning disk drive, we’re not talking about that at all. We’re talking about fast blinding speed of Input/Output operations, reading and writing data. And for that Flash Memory Chips are king of the hill, and now have the benchmarks to prove…

  • Intel’s Tri-Gate gamble: It’s now or never • The Register

    Moore’s Law meet the tri-gate transistor. Hopefully this will all go according to plan inside an Intel chip near you.

  • SPDY: An experimental protocol for a faster web – The Chromium Projects

    Google and other browser manufacturers are all working to create a much faster browser experience. Techniques of late include state of the art javascript execution engines, and Google Chrome in particular really sped up adoption of HTTP 1.1 persistence of connections. along with pre-fetching and DNS caching. All of which quickly made Google Chrome the…

  • Cloud on a chip: Sometimes the best hypervisor is none at all   • The Register

    In spite of yesterday’s news about Intel’s “3D” transistor in its up and coming 22nm production fab, there’s other Intel research still ongoing that might prove to be groundbreaking as well. I’m talking about the experimental 80 core intel cpu that followed on from Intel’s failed attempt at a graphics processor, the i740 and it’s…

  • Stop Blaming the Customers – the Fault is on Amazon Web Services – ReadWriteCloud

    Amazon has a datacenter that they both use for their own internal commerce website, but also share out to anyone willing to pay hourly rates for access to the Amazon data cloud. Part of the whole constellation of services is a fault tolerant data storage (think a farm of hard drives all in racks) that…

  • Viking Modular plugs flash chips into memory sockets • The Register

    I remember the old days when computers ‘re-used’ the system level RAM memory for video on the computer. However the performance disadvantage of doing this was readily apparent when Intel developed video bus technologies VESA Local Bus, AGP, PCIe. So I’m a little surprised a company has developed Flash memory modules for the RAM memory…

  • Facebook: No ‘definite plans’ to ARM data centers • The Register

    After Facebook’s presentation at the Open Compute Day, I got to thinking more about other competitors in the market for the low energy consumption data center. And while everyone including Google remain loyal to Intel, the smaller upstarts have an opportunity to raise their marginal return if they choose wisely. I say this in part…

  • Data hand tools – O’Reilly Radar

    Any person who does computer support avoids certain ‘technologies’ like the plague. Usually fear is the single biggest reason why. Commandlines, shell scripting, programming are all things some people avoid because they never learned it or come from an unrelated background (like the Humanities). While they are functional outside of those areas (Hey I can…
