Intel's developer communities invite you to participate in our interactive blogs chronicling all things software.
After receiving an e-mail from Rafael Rivera today, I discovered that one of my previous blog posts, entitled Windows 7 'Incredibly Stable,' Intel Expert Says, was featured in a video on the Microsoft Showcase site. Within the video, Renee James, CVP & GM, Software and Services Group, Intel shares her thoughts on Windows 7 and how [...]
In the coming few days I'm going to be looking at some of the continuous integration capabilities in the current version of Team Foundation Server. I have been using Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization for some time to explorer capabilities in existing software along with beta software and so I began by creating a new virtual [...]
Last week, I posted some screenshots of my management console, IT Helper 1.0. It's been just 3 weeks since I first talked about the project and I'm already finished. I've still got some testing and documentation to do, but everything else is finished. Here's a brief list of features: Hardware Asset Platform (computer model, manufacturer, version, serial number) BIOS [...]
Why? Well you just do. Gina B. knows everything from what to use to clean off all that icky and dangerous stuff that comes on our fruit and veggies to where on our Forum do we find our favorite Search tool that disappeared a month or so ago. Here is what it looks like - it lets you pick which [...]
My earlier post, "I've Come Here For An Argument", was very popular with my fellow support engineers, as it provided a convenient answer to questions they frequently receive. (For me too, which in part is why I wrote it!) But some people (cough, Ron, cough) are never satisfied, and I've been asked to write a [...]

Now that classes are done for many of us, we can start turning our attention to research and training projects. This last month saw some really great activities in the Middle East; I’ll be highlighting a few of those. I’ll also be be talking about the debut of Intel Software Network TV, a powerful new [...]
One of the things we are always trying to figure out on our Manageability Community is how does the community like to get their information. This poll asked the community where they find their best answers to their Intel AMT questions (note: not where they would *like* to find their best answers - which I [...]
With the growing interest in parallel code, a quest has arisen for parallel algorithms and parallelizable algorithms to feed the beast of multi-core. This post marks the start of a series exploring at least the rudiments of the n-body gravitational problem and a recursive parallel algorithm from Matteo Frigo that orders the chaos.
Of course, for my friends in Europe, the verb in the question is "will be" since this specific time is still a month away.
IPv6 has always been a foreign topic to me, there weird addresses and more complex tunneling systems made it an uncharted world I never step foot in. On the other hand, I do know that all quality software these days should support IPv6. In this blog, I want to talk about my last 2 [...]

This is the first installment of the Software & Partner Directory Tips & Trick blog series. Each month the Intel Software Partner Program newsletter will feature a new tip about the directory. I would love feedback from those of you that try out the tips, best practices you want to share with other directory participants, [...]
Synchronization between threads in the Infernal Engine Thread synchronization is a complicated problem and rarely discussed in practice. We came to our own conclusions via experimentation and what worked well for us during the production of Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters used two kinds of synchronization primitives, "crude locks" and "critical sections". A crude lock is [...]
