High-performance Linux clustering, Part 1: Clustering fundamentals Introducing the basic concepts of High Performance Computing with Linux cluster technology
Red Hat on Wednesday announced a significant departure from its current business plan, saying its flagship Linux product will be available on Amazon.com's Elastic Computing Cloud online service.
Note that I made a grave error of thinking before writing this article: I forgot the copy-on-write page sharing of modern Unices. I added two paragraphs to this article that should clarify the point. Thanks for your comment, Alex.
I did some research recently on memcached and how it compares to ehcache. The following graph shows the time taken for 10,000 puts, gets and removes, for 10,000 cache items. It uses the latest released versions of memcached and ehcache. In memcached's cas
A collection of Concurrent and Highly Scalable Utilities. These are intended as direct replacements for the java.util.* or java.util.concurrent.* collections but with better performance when many CPUs are using the collection concurrently.
There's a lot of buzz around the Ruby on Rails framework at the moment. Something that doesn't get a lot of attention is it's scalability solution: FastCGI. Partly because it doesn't seem very exciting on first glance and partly because it's so fundamenta
I want to show that the notion of scalability is every bit as valid when applied to programming languages as it is when applied to programs or algorithms. I'll also discuss several well-known and not so well-known programming languages from this perspective and give some concrete recommendations, as well as discuss some of the social factors which hinder progress in this field.
