Could HP Bring Back Alpha?

whoot no alphacide ? Yah and please make it open source ;)


it could be true : itanium is dead , pa-risc is dead mips for enterprise (think : sgi , non-stop) is dead


ps: alpha team was full sold to intella from what i know

Changing the timezone - debian way

"If you want to set your timezone to a value closer to your physical location run the following interactive program as root: tzconfig"

Sunday, June 26, 2005

Yesterday it was an iris concert and i was jumping and screaming ,
Yah is true i like to scream/sing but don't give me a guitar You will run
away.
While jumping i had this "enlightenment" : what the hack we are doing
with our lives : working , working , working and no fun
Maybe i should try to sing more and more - that's my happiness.
Let people see what is inside of me : sometimes rage , somedays furry and
one or few days/year harmony
People don't know me - I'm crazy enough to jump on stage and to sing
I did it once , i did it twice (before i went to high scool)
Who knows maybe i'm good at music and i'm still blind to really see it.

Max-Pod - mobile music

What intella will do with non-working wimax business ?


I mean who reads the email while going in the park with the bike or running , When going to eat somewhere do you download pr0n ? Nahh . Wireless network is useless


http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/22/2227255&tid=193&tid=126


Only for one thing : music , movies ,


I could listen to an internet radio while biking ( swimming ??)


or running .


I could watch some movies while going with train (12 hours or something)


So apple is good on selling thouse gizmos called ipods ,add Intel's wimax and some music = fun (remeber thouse mmx dancing monkeys...err intel employees? I think they will be back ;))


ps: intella is working with nokie for wimax enabled phones/gizmos


No one wants an 2.4Kg brick in his bag/back ,I just want some gizmos : ipod, iphone ,zaurus+wimax , nokie +ogg player ... That is my whish list ;)

Why Dell will use AMD chips

Now Dell have an evil brother (called apple)


and both of them compete on the high end area


"We are competing for those customers along with companies like HP, Sony, Apple, Alienware and those customers that basically build their own systems."


http://xrl.us/gc7g


Don't know how this will end for DELL , i assume AMD


will embrace them with hands open , 50x15 is near

(amd want's 50% of market in 2015)

Amd is building fabs like mad: FishKill (with ibm) , Dresden (2 fabs in one)
What kept dell from using opterons, altlon64 is called Intell and something
green (not the aliens) , got nothing to do with production.
I laugh at apple when they speak like: ibm can't do cpu's
Sorry apple if ibm can't do cpus (sony , microsoft, toshiba, nvidia , amd , via can confirm this) then who does ?
Name one firm that is selling 64 bit mobile cpus Now and is helped by
ibm . Hint: acer is selling some of thouse laptops with ferrari logo.

Update:oh wait now they have another testing/research fab in Dresden
at computex it was spoted an dual core amd64 portable
Upadate:amd/ibm does have another fab in singapore with Chartered
An vague impression that many Cells /DC athlons will be born there in '06

mac-os-x on cell ...
When all the rumors were true .... and little younglings cut
NooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo

intel+apple = iphone

hmm , so seems to be


intel needed an design house for their [ coh coh ...mcrappy] phones , apple left desktop/home space for others (linux,ms) , they need to sell DRM-ed music/movies on the phone/ipod/media center (control your crappy iLife)


They meet and ...i can only speculate


"The company can count some high-volume customers for its applications chip. But its baseband chip--the core communications center of a cell phone--had been a flop.


Intel, which did not disclose the maker of the new phone, also said its new baseband chip code-named Hermon--which operates on third-generation cellular networks--is still on track to be introduced in the second half of the year. "

On cell developers will have compiler optimizations like autovectorisation and other ...

I think it's easier for me to think cell


as mini cluster


powerpc as master (conductor) and spu's as slaves (orchestra) with crunching jobs submited to them


Vectorial code (simd) aka symphony is arranged by compiler (composer) at another time


Don't forget that memory is closer to cpu (integrated controller) and doesn't need to much of cache and OOo prediction for brached code (low latency)

The Cell Processor Programming Model

A paper will be presented by Arnd Bergmann in 22-25 June at LinuxTag 2005



"Porting Linux to run on Cells PowerPC core is a relatively easy task because of the similarities to existing platforms like IBM pSeries or Apple Power Macintosh, but does not give access to the enormous computing power of the SPUs.



Only the kernel is able to directly communicate with an SPU and therefore needs to abstract the hardware interface into system calls or device drivers. The most important functions of the user interface including loading a program binary into an SPU, transferring memory between an SPU program and a Linux user space application and synchronizing the execution. Other challenges are the integration of SPU program execution into existing tools like gdb or oprofile.



A model has been proposed to provide an interface that attempts to integrate well into the existing set of Linux system calls and enable software authors to easily integrate the use of SPUs into their own libraries and applications."

debian on various machines - amd64, ppc, alpha

I have installed ubuntu hoary (based on debian amd64) and works quite well (minus the flash plugin)


Simulators are developed for mips or alpha , can be a way to test debian.

ubuntu powerpc on my machine


I like to play with various machines (power, alpha ,mips) . There is always something to learn from porting software on them .

Resolving apache logs for feeding webdruid with.
Dnsresolver (based on db3) doesn't always compile or work

$LogFileResolved = "$dir"."resolved_"."$_";
# print("$_\n") unless -d;
print ("$LogFile\n");
system("/usr/sbin/logresolve <$LogFile>$LogFileResolved");
print ("$LogFileResolved\n");
}

use strict;

Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

bzImage doesn't have anything to do with bzip

"It's standard gzip/zlib compression still, the b stands for big."

There is a huge wall of Java/C# books that will crush me

It's very funny this Ruby guide "At my local Barnes and Noble, there is a huge wall of Java books just waiting to tip over and crush me one day. And one day it will." ROFL - Add C# to the Java books wall - New Cobols are ready
installing webdruid

Download latest version
wget http://www.webdruid.org/download/source/webdruid-0.5.4.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf webdruid-0.5.4.tar.bz2

Make shure you have an gcc compiler ;)
On windows is an problem (solved by cygwin)
./configure --prefix=/opt/webdruid

If you get this error
configure: error: Your system doesn't support gettext. Aborting!
Start checking requirments ;) reading INSTALL file
" - zlib (1.2.1)
- the GD graphics library version (>= 1.8.4)
- Freetype 2 (2.1.7)
- Freefont package: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/freefont/
The FreeSerif font from this package is used by default by The WebDruid.
You should get the fonts at the above URL and unpack them in the
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont directory.
- a gettext compatible C library (recent GNU libc is Ok) OR an external libintl library
- an iconv compatible C library (recent GNU libc is Ok) OR an external libiconv library
- Berkeley DB 3 (3.2.9) - OPTIONAL
- graphviz (1.10) - OPTIONAL"

Now if nice graphs are needed - download graphvis source code and
configure it

http://www.graphviz.org/Download..php

wget http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/graphviz-2.2.1.tar.gz

Configured with
./configure --prefix=/opt/graphviz

Then stumbled upon dynamic library building error

tracking paths taken by visitors

Very nice indeed


"I recommend you take a look at Webdruid, a clone of


webalizer that generates a graph with the paths taken


by visitors. This should be more useful than the


number of visits per URL."

C# and java are still ugly compared to pascal , don't know about Oberon (pascal++?)

"In the field of programming languages two fresh starts have been attempted recently. I refer to Java and C#. Both tend to restrict rather than augment the number of features, trying to suggest a certain programming discipline. Hence they move in the right direction. This is encouraging. But there remains still a long way to reach Pascal, and longer even to Oberon."

why swf is better than swing

i think they had one less layer to add (thouse peers in the image) and no backward compatibility (awt) so is:


1.faster


2.simpler


3.better

ps: i can make analogy with alpha cpu's history


they (DEC) created an 64bit RISC cpu from zero - no legacy


that is way faster than itanic , or x86 (at least was until was killed)
