Setting up a Condor cluster

09/02/2006  II
Relevance: 13.87
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to run multiple instances of the same application, with different input data each time, in sequence, because the job was too computation-intensive and your machine not powerful enough to run all the instances simultaneously? The solution to that problem could be to harness the machines that are already connected to your local network and apply their unused CPU cycles to your projects. Condor, a specialized batch system for managing compute-intensive jobs, may be your answer.

An Explanation of Computation Theory for Lawyers

11/13/2009  II
Relevance: 10.11
The fundamentals of computation theory are not obvious. A group of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century needed decades to figure them out. If this information is not communicated to lawyers and judges they have no chance to understand what is going on and mistakes are sure to happen. All the errors I have found result from this omission. The purpose of this text is to help fill the gap.[A long read, but definitely worth it for the philosophical defense of FOSS - gus3]

Development board aims Linux at graphics-intensive apps

12/22/2006  IIIII
Relevance: 7.42
Bitsim is shipping an evaluation and development board that targets 2D graphics-intensive embedded applications, such as instrumentation and gaming devices. The"Badger" board is based on an ARM9 processor and Altera Cyclone II FPGA (field-programmable gate array), and apparently is accelerated by Bitsim's"Badge" softcore processor.

Of opposable thumbs and software engineering

10/20/2007  II
Relevance: 6.83
It's been almost 200 years since Charles Babbage first started work on his difference engine, and programmable computation is fast approaching 100 years old. Over this time there has been a lot of change in software development and in this article we look at the evolutionary pressure that has shapedthat.

Lazy Programming and Evaluation

12/20/2006  III
Relevance: 6.10
Lazy programming is a general concept ofdelaying the processing of a function or request until the results are needed. This concept has numerous applications, from the obvious to the obscure. Thinking in terms of lazy programming can help you rid your code of unneeded computation and restructure programs to be more problem-oriented.

Petascale Tools and Genomic Evolution

11/26/2009  III
Relevance: 4.95
Technological advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing have opened up the possibility of determining how living things are related by analyzing the ways in which their genes have been rearranged on chromosomes. However, inferring such evolutionary relationships from rearrangement events is computationally intensive on even the most advanced computing systems available today.

Adding contents automatically in Calc

09/01/2007  IIIII
Relevance: 4.95
Spreadsheets are labor-intensive documents. Usually, their contents is entered carefully, one sheet at a time, at an input rate far below a text document. However, like most spreadsheets, OpenOffice.org has several tools for removing some of the drudgery from input.
