As a lot of you probably already know, Smoke is a tech demo that showcases a framework to support n-way threading of game technologies. By properly threading a game it can have more accurate physics, smarter AI, more particles, and/or a faster frame-rate. Smoke demonstrates one way to achieve better games.
This week the smoke team released version 1.2 of the Smoke Tech demo. What's new with this release?

Cilk++ has moved to Intel Corporation
Cilk++ has moved to Intel Corporation! This will allow us to go even further in helping make parallel programming easier. We are very excited about the synergies between Intel’s leading tools for parallel programming and the technology of Cilk++.
The Intel® Cilk++ Software Development Kit is now available!
The 2009 Intel Threading Challenge Contest roundup
The winner for the Phase 2 portion of the 2009 Intel Threading Challenge Contest has been announced. Go to the contest website for details. For this contest, we broke up the problems into two Phases. The first phase had 6 problems and ran 13 weeks from 06 APR to 03 JUL; the second phase also had 6 problems to solve in 13 weeks from 24 AUG to 20 NOV. The description of the twelve problems is still available on the contest main page if you are curious about what the problems were.
Advisor Lite methodology - old fine wine in new bottle.
Imagine going to the moon without first testing and rehearsing a lot of the possible scenarios in a simulator here on Earth! Many would consider it laughable. But most, if not all, developers actually parallelize code without first modeling code for both performance and correctness before parallelizing the code.
These are a few of my favorite tools!
Welcome to my first blog! I have previously co-authored a couple of articles but this one is truly my first blog. Those of you who loved "The Sound of Music" may find the title of this blog familiar. For the rest, this blog is really about sharing with you some of the tools I work with and like.

XSLT 2.0: Regular Expression Functions and Instructions
XSLT 2.0: Regular expressions
One of the weaknesses in XSLT 1.0 was the very simple set of string manipulation features. In comparison to many popular programming languages, the string functions lacked one very powerful feature, regular expressions. Intel SOA Expressway actually offers this functionality with extension functions for our customer base. In XSLT 2.0, the XSLT working group plugged this hole for everyone in a couple of ways that we’ll look at in this post.
API drafts posted at W3C - web developer comments welcome!
The other day ago our team, including Clayne Robison who also has a blog here on ISN, posted some API drafts to the W3C's Device API and Policy Working Group.
