After applying a new technology (a new processor, a hardware accelerator, a new instruction, etc) besides measuring the immediate performance delta one requires a method to verify that this technology has been applied correctly and efficiently. Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions (Intel® TSX - instructions for speculative execution of critical sections protected by locks) are not an exception here.

Masking RGB Inputs with Depth Data using the Intel® PercC SDK and OpenCV
Introduction
One of the challenges in computer vision applications is segmentation-the separation of desired objects from their surroundings. Early techniques separated objects by color or contrast. With the introduction of time of flight infrared cameras, it became possible to segment objects by their distance from the camera.

Windows 8 - Keine WLAN Verbindung nach StandBy
Ich werde in letzter Zeit oft darauf angeschrieben, dass beim DELL XPS 12 die WLAN Verbindung nach dem StandBy nicht mehr ordnungsgemäß funktioniert. Gehen wir doch mal gemeinsam auf die Suche nach einer Lösung. Welcher WLAN Adapter wird verwendet und welcher StandBy ist im Standard aktiv?
Touch keyboard access for Windows* 8 desktop apps
What do you do if your DirectX* desktop game requires keyboard input, but is running on a Windows* 8 platform without a physical keyboard? If your game runs in a window, the user can manually invoke the touch keyboard from the taskbar but that can be unintuitive, and doesn't help at all for full-screen games. You could write a custom keyboard overlay within your game. That approach can be harder than it seems at first blush, with lots of corner cases to verify with language support, modifier keys, and event handlers to write and debug.
Applab in Minneapolis draws top developers from Healthcare, Finance, Manufacturing and other industries.....

High Availability Linux Architecture for Mission Critical Workloads training from The Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation is delivering a 4-day, hands-on training course that provides the knowledge and skills needed to successfully engineer, provision, maintain, and administer high-availability clusters to support mission-critical workloads. Heavily focused on mission critical workloads, High Availability Linux Architecture focuses on concepts and best practices used to meet security and high availability requirements using the latest hardware technologies such as Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family, driven by current open source tools found in the three main Linux distribution families.
A Intel e o HTML5
Desde que comecei a trabalhar como Community Manager de HTML5 aqui na Intel, muita gente me pergunta o motivo da Intel apoiar o HTML5.
"Nossa visão de futuro é um mundo no qual os desenvolvedores podem criar incríveis experiências em plataforma cruzada, que passam livremente de dispositivo para dispositivo e de tela para tela, um mundo em que os aplicativos podem atingir um número maior de clientes e podem ser lançados no mercado mais rapidamente, sem limitações."
跟燕青一起学Windows8应用开发:博客聚合之HTML5 Metro应用开发环境搭建
最近收到一些网友的反馈,他们对HTML5开发Metro应用非常感兴趣。在看了我的“跟燕青一起学Windows8应用开发”系列后感觉蛮有趣的,但是在查阅内容的时候相互跳转不方便,并且分类不够细致,所以笔者这里将简单的做一个内容聚合,希望在此能够解决一些历史问题。在此需要声明一点,HTML5 Metro应用环境搭建是适合入门级的开发人员,如果水平已经在次之上,请跳过本篇博客:-)。
HTML5 Metro应用开发需要Windows8操作系统,Microsoft Visual Studio,对它们的安装是使用,笔者以前写了三篇博客,有兴趣的网友可以参考它们。

跟燕青一起学Windows8应用开发:修改Metro应用的Splash Screen
Splash Screen对应用本身虽然没有太多的技术含量,但是对于一个成熟的应用,特别是公司开发的应用将是非常重要的。至少,应用需要显示一下公司的Logo!如同广告牌效果,Splash Screen就是一个投放公司品牌广告的好地方,难道不是吗?!本篇博客就是讨论,如果在开发Metro应用的时候,修改默认Splash Screen,变成自己需要的内容。
