Here we are on the eve of Windows 8 and I want to reach out to my former friends & co-workers still there to wish them all a huge Congratulations!
Getting an OS out the door is a monumental task (Akin to eating a Kraken!) and something that I don't believe most people can fully appreciate unless they saw and experienced it first hand. So in all seriousness my hats off to everyone over there right now. Bottoms up! You all deserve to blow off some steam! : )
为了更好地促进高校、研究机构以及产业界了解透明计算与云计算领域的最新技术趋势，积极促进国内产学研用的有效结合，努力实现核心技术的自主创新和应用，中南大学和英特尔公司于2012年10月18-19日联合举办“2012透明计算与平台技术创新研讨会”。本届研讨会作为“产、学、研、用”各界进行技术和业务交流的平台，特邀国内外高校专家、院士、英特尔及其它业界技术专家等作为演讲嘉宾，深入交流透明计算与云计算等平台的最新技术及应用成果。
After nearly a year, I’m pleased (really, I’m quite chuffed) to announce the beta availability of our first release of the Intel Cloud Services Platform, a collection of developer-centric, identity-based cloud services. What we’re calling wave 1, focuses on three foundational services: Identity, Location and Context.
There are so many examples of applications using pre-processing strategy that it is trivial. For example using a webcam we often find the device driver doing some software adjustments and corrections such as white balancing. Too often we find devices using software features. Other examples would be in a pipeline and User Interfaces. When it comes to UI we already learned to fill the list when the user clicks the drop-down, so only when the user really wants to use the list we will "pay" for the data.
As any good engineer knows, “if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.” And a representative benchmark suite is the key for measuring any computer systems. That’s exactly why we have constructed HiBench, a Hadoop benchmark suite consisting of both micro-benchmarks and real world applications, including:
Intel Cloud Services Platform beta is a set of online cloud-based scalable services that provide key capabilities such as location, identity and context to developers for use in server, desktop, and mobile applications aimed at both consumers and businesses. All services are identity-based to provide rich interoperability and seamless app experiences.
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) is a collection of hardware-based security technologies built into Intel’s silicon. They address the security threats across physical and virtual infrastructure by complementing runtime protections like anti-virus software. Intel TXT is also a hardware-based method of verification in compliance efforts such as trusted computing environment. Intel TXT is designed to harden platforms from the emerging threats of hypervisor attacks, BIOS, or other firmware attacks, malicious root kit installations, or other software-based attacks.
Setting up a cloud environment is complicated, and it involves multiple elements such as database, network infrastructure, security, etc., (depending on the need). How do you increase the performance of this environment? We start small by focusing on one element at a time and try to speed up the process. In this blog, I will share two popular cloud workloads and some key things that were done to increase their performance, followed by a list of resources that you can reference for more optimization ideas...these different approaches to increase performance, which may trigger crea
I’m sure most of us have all seen and heard the news recently that’s flared up again on Gaming Piracy and DRM issues. I’d like to address what I feel is one of the most misunderstood, and taken out of context issues that’s plagued this industry for years; and it’s time to put a put a nail in the coffin on this issue. PC gaming is not being pirated to the tune of 90% by any stretch of the definition.
In this blog, I will discuss a list of useful Linux commands to run, to tune your system for running the Apache web service, as well as some Apache tuning configuration changes which have shown to improve performance in some of our benchmarks. In our tests, we used a software benchmark (SPECweb2009) to simulate load, however the analysis and tuning process described here applies to anyone who is trying to get more performance out of their Linux web servers.
