If you are not a programmer, I recommend you use a different blogging engine, because even after the install is a success. You’ll still need to edit the template of your choice to get it just right. I am still not done editing this template. Installing Mephisto 0.8 (Drax) is not exactly the easiest thing [...]

In Part1 of this article we went over the basics, so read that first if you already haven’t. In this article, we will go into more detail over the different types of parallelism. Parallelism types from Implicit to Explicit Instruction Level parallelism Compiler assisted parallelism Programmer guided, Compiler assisted parallelism Programmer guided, automatic multi-threading Multi-threaded [...]

There are many types of parallelism in HPDC, but in general the term is typically used to describe the idea of performing two or more tasks at the same time using different computational devices. These computational devices can be: A different computer thats networked or interconnected Another microprocessor on the same computer Another core on [...]

In part one of this article we went over how to create and use partials. Part two will take what we learned from part one and see how we can use collections to make partials even more useful. We’ll see how you can set additional local variables in your partial. This article is short and [...]

Often in web applications, the same data is displayed in more than one location. Usually this is done by copying code between different template pages. Using Rails we can avoid this and remain true to the Rails principles of “never repeating ourselves”. This is accomplished by using Rails partials. In part one of this article [...]

High performance distributed computing also known as HPDC is the effective development and use of software on distributed memory supercomputing clusters. Developing code that is optimized is a challenging task for many reasons. One issue is the semantic gap between the processor and the language you choose to develop with. The higher abstract the language, [...]

Bitwise operators let you manipulate individual bits. Normally I would not bother writing about this, but I believe knowing about bit wise operation is an important asset to have when trying to optimize code. Especially in memory consumption. Keep in mind that all bitwise operations  in C only work of singed and unsigned integer primitive [...]
