Real Customer cases for Enterprise software solution implementation
I was amazed to see the relation between military investments/research and internet roots. “History of the Internet” is an animated documentary explaining the inventions from time-sharing to filesharing, from Arpanet to Internet. http://vimeo.com/2696386
This is the top 6 Players from U 17 Squad in Germany. You might notice something really interesting in those players. This list was published in Bild. As being a fan of Bounce from Matthew Sayed and Outliers from Malcolm Gladwell, I wonder what those writers think about this overwhelming statistics. Some Asked for the stas: 4 turkish, 1 Greek, 1 German back ground in the top 6 players. Kanat Ozturan From www.cozydays.com your comment…
Sometimes it is just about seeing what is all around us. “..We can’t decide between Vincent van Gogh or Edvard Munch, but we do know the sky above Chicago right now looks like the canvas from some old master….” From Good.is Source: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/06/photogalleries/new-cloud-pictures/ and http://www.good.is/post/intermission-did-van-gogh-paint-the-chicago-sky-today/
Integrating CUDA into a Large-Scale Commercial Database Management System Richard Wilton, Tamas Budavari, Alex Szalay – The Johns Hopkins University In a large-scale database installation where data tables are distributed across multiple servers, computational throughput can be optimized by using GPUs on each server and integrating database management with GPU resources. In the Department of Physics and Astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University, we are experimenting with a set of software tools that closely couple SQL statements…
Power Wall+ Memory Wall + ILP (Instruction level parallelism) Wall= Brick Wall There are two ways to scale speed by a factor x. Scale the number of (running) cores by x Power will scale by the same factor x Scale the clock frequency f and voltage V by x Dynamic power will scale by x to the power 3 (CV2f ) Static power will scale by x (Vileakage) Total power lies somewhere in between Clock scaling is worse…
Heart Surgery with Robot Arm Amazing video about new generation surgery. On other thing about this type of surgery is the computational power that is embeded in the operating unit. Actually the heart is still beating and the unit has the ability to display the beating heard as a still surface. This is just possible by Parallel Processing in the GPU. Pealing a Grape

Michael Stonebraker has been a pioneer of data base research and technology for more than a quarter of a century. He was the main architect of the INGRES relational DBMS, the object-relational DBMS, POSTGRES, and the federated data system, Mariposa. All three prototypes were developed at the University of California at Berkeley where Stonebraker was a Professor of Computer Science for twenty five years. He is the founder of three successful Silicon Valley startups,…
