Me A Moderator @ Sadikhov.com ?

May 22 2008.... The morning was a bit hectic.. Was cleaning up Cisco section at Sadikhov.com... It was a total 128 pages with 100 topics in each page.. (you do the math ).. Followed by by NIS sessions at my institute.. The infra really freaked my out.. The computers were in a mess.. Had to ghost'em all with server and xp... Then after lunch I managed 30 minutes to *SPAM* sadikhov...
I had couple of PMs which were "report to a MOD" which I wasn't supposed to get as I was a HM.. Then when I got back to the index page, my goodness, my name was all green (i suddenly thought. Have I just turned out colour blind ).. Then came the good news from FS.. That I and 13^th were promoted..
Now I have full rights to spam the whole world.. SO guys keep your keyboards ready.. I might just be replying / moderating any of your posts anywhere in the forum.. 'cos the Dirizhor has been let loose.. God stop him from spamming the board...

Please pour in .. So that the blog spams can be modified as you all feel. That much will do for now... Catch you all soon

Fix arrives for AMD machines attacked by XP SP3

A KINDLY GEEK has produced a free tool to resurrect AMD machines borked by installing Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.

The fault affects mainly HP machines with an OEM splash screen and a number of Asus mobos, to which XP refuses to talk on the grounds that they're not fully ACPI compliant.

Jesper, over at msinfluentials, has a handy tool you can get your hands on for nothing which is said to fix the problem. Not having tried it ourselves, we cannot say for sure if it works or not, but if you've got a dead AMD system, whaddya got to lose?

Jesper warns against putting his tool in an Intel system, because it'll break it.

IBM solves global warming... maybe

BIG BLUE today announced that using a large lens to concentrate the sun’s power, it captured a record 230 watts onto a centimeter square solar cell, in a technology known as concentrator photovoltaics or CPV.

The IBM research team developed a system that achieved breakthrough results by coupling a commercial solar cell to an advanced IBM liquid metal thermal cooling system using methods developed for the microprocessor industry.

That energy is then converted into 70 watts of usable electrical
power, about five times the electrical power density generated by typical cells using CPV technology in solar farms.

If it can overcome additional challenges to move this project from the lab to the fab, IBM believes it can significantly reduce the cost of a typical CPV based solar energy system

Industry suddenly realises multi-cored chips are useless unless used

STANFORD UNIVERSITY HAS joined forces with IBM, AMD, Sun Microsystems, Nvidia, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel to create innovative software that will let chips better process several simultaneously.

According to the New York Times, the partnership between the University and the six rival computer and chip makers will be formally announced this Friday, and the project will be dubbed the “Pervasive Parallelism Lab”.

In mid March of this year, Chipzilla and the Vole announced that they’d be funneling a combined $20 million into building specialised labs at Berkely’s University of California and Urbana-Champaign’s University of Illinois for parallel computing research, which would effectively tackle the same problem.

The massive amounts of funding and effort being channeled by the big players into such research programmes shows just how worried the software industry actually is about future microprocessors with 8, 16 or more cores on a single chip. The concern is that the software would not be able to work properly with the new hardware because without optimal programming, applications don’t profit from added chip power, and in some cases can even become slower because of it. This means that customers could just decide that it’s not worth their while to upgrade their system.

Clockspeed is no longer as important as performance per watt in computing, and hiking performance is now the domain of multicores, with most corporate server microprocessors and gaming machines having about eight cores.

To help the software take better advantage of the increased number of cores, the competing teams of boffins are going to have to experiment with new programming languages and tweaks in the hardware, as well as going back to the drawing board on things like operating systems and compilers (which translates programming gibberish into commands a computer can actually understand).

With all the effort going into it, it definitely seems that sequential programming will soon be a thing of the distant past, whilst parallel programming’s day is yet to come
