Links of the day 04/12/2015 : Sub-NUMA patent, Fabric Emulation for HP Machine, Performance monitoring toolkit

• Sub-NUMA : Numa is already hard to deploy and use efficiently, lets start bringing sub numa clustering. Sadly one of the consequence of the ever increasing core count. Rather than selling micro chip single core highly optimize CPU. Intel prefer to cram more feature into a larger package even if 50%+ of them are unused. Sometimes I really hope that ARM server will finally come to fruition and shake the whole damn market.
• Fabric attached memory : want to play with HP "the machine" and its new shiny fabric but can't get early access to it or you don't have the finance. Fear not ! here is the emulation toolkit of Fabric-Attached Memory for The Machine.
• LIKWID : Performance monitoring on Intel Haswell platforms easy to use but yet powerful performance tools for the GNU Linux operating system. Really cool set of tools for topology discovery , numa pinning, power monitoring etc... [github]

Today's links 17/12/2014: HP's machine,  #datacenter, #bigdata, stream computing, #bitcoin dev guide

• Tigon : open-source, real-time, low-latency, high-throughput stream processing framework from Cask Data, Inc. and AT&T . Interesting to see how now company are all releasing open source components.. Open source projects are now just another economic weapon on the corporate arsenal. 
• Bitcoin Developer Guide : detailed information about the Bitcoin protocol and related specifications
• The Machine: HP datacenter scale computer based on memristor technology
• The HP Memristor Solution for Computing Big Data : Stanley Williams lecture on HP "machine"

Links of the day 24 - 07 - 2014

Today : Web Business Models, Management, HP universal memory to rule them all  ( my precious ...) and network reliability.

• Web and Mobile Business models :List of Internet - Web business models. It give a very good and quick view of the different business model in the start-up web-sphere. Note here is the original list from AVC
• How to Ruin Your Company with One Bad Process : how forgetting personal interest and company politics can ruin a perfect plan. 
• Iris Decentralized Cloud Messaging : a reasonable compromise between the decentralized nature of the brokerless systems and the minimal-configuration and management of the brokered ones. Iris lends itself to building large-scale systems the way we conceptualize and reason about them—by using services as the building blocks, not instances.
• The Network is Reliable - An informal survey of real-world communications failures : Very good list and examples of real world network failure but no surprise the if you want a reliable network or tolerate partition you have to invest the effort , time and money to make it so.. Not magic there.. And even so you are not protected from murphy's law.
• The End of a Necessary Evil: Collapsing the Memory Hierarchy : HP's CTO post/ talk on their big push toward Universal memory, kind of like one memory to rules them all and in HP bind them.
