5″ hard drives, bringing sustained transfer speeds of up to 230MB/s and 180MB/s for read and write respectively, helping performance buffs get enough bang for their buck regardless of file size or type. In addition, the SSD25D will boast an industry-standard 3. From Super Talent we head on to see what Transcend has to offer – the 2. 5″ SATA II SSD25D solid state drive that features 64MB of built-in DRAM cache. 5″ form factor, making it a snap to install on both notebooks and desktops. 0Gb/s SATA II interface and 2. This model from Transcend is capable of outperforming traditional 2.

State-Phase Programming

This means that Thread A, performing operation [2], wil l post a message to Thread B which is the owner of the GUI Window, and can then c ontinue to handle another task.

It seems that looking at the Stack-Trace as the state of the application is a huge mistake. When we write a Procedural C code the operation is inside the function – this is why it is called a Procedure. We can see the different Phases by looking at the lines of code (see my pr evious post for more information). When we break this association we can start managing our application better.

The Application State is a cross-section of all states of running elements. cpp is the test application with main() and the other threads. aspx? This adds these new States to the picture object: No-Data, Updating, Data-Ready./MTnPDirEnum. The hardware accelerated Stack is no longer sufficient for us and the Stack-Trace is no longer the state of the application. On a serial application this can be the state of the Stack (or Stack-Trace). This time again, there can be suspended operations even though all threads are working. These States are kept to manage resources and avoid resource leaks. There are also suspended operations. I have elaborated on this on a previous post called Stateful Programming – A Case Study. In Procedural programming every branch is commonly an execution state

OCZ Mini PCI-Express Solid State Drive

software — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:02:49 +0000

OCZ has now set its sights on the netbook market by announcing its new range of mini PCI-Express Solid State Drives, shortly after the debut of its DIY netbook, the 10″ OCZ Neutrino DIY. There is no word on pricing as at press time, but how many of you think 32GB is still too little compared to the 160GB hard drive that most netbooks these days come with? You can choose between SATA and PATA interfaces for your need. OCZ will make available 16GB and 32GB options, where each of these will be accompanied by a 2-year warranty.

OCZ Solid 2 SATA II Solid State Drive

5″ Solid 2 SATA II, where it will utilize MLC-based NAND flash memory to achieve a balance between performance and price.

MLC memory might be a bit of a laggard compared to SLC memory, but they ain’t no slouch either, delivering 100MB/sec write (120GB model) and 125MB/sec read speeds and a seek time of less than 0. 1ms. 5 million hours. You can choose from 60GB and 120GB capacities, where the latter is able to perform better in terms of write speed. RAID support and low power consumption are also other key points of picking up this from OCZ if you happen to be in the hunt for SSDs. Features include a 64MB onboard cache and a 3-year warranty, boasting a mean time between failure rating of 1. OCZ’s latest SSD would be the 2. More details to come concerning pricing and availability in due time.

OCZ Vertex EX Solid State Drive

software — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:14:51 +0000

In addition, the OCZ Vertex EX range will sip much less power compared to hard drives, and boast the advantages of being virtually silent and skip-proof. OCZ already has a bunch of high performance computer peripherals to its name, and this time round they introduced yet another feather in their cap – the Vertex EX series of solid state drives. This line will target servers, workstations and other computers that emphasize on longevity and performance without counting the cost. You will be able to pick up the new Vertex EX SSD in 60GB and 120GB capacities. Unfortunately, OCZ has yet to publish the respective pricing details.

After all, the use of single level cells help prolong the life of the drive, and is capable of hitting 260MB/s and 210MB/s for both read and write speeds.

OCZ Summit Series 2.5-inch Solid State Drives

software — Mon, 18 May 2009 08:34:23 +0000

For those who have been hankering after the next evolution of SSDs, now is the time to check out the OCZ Summit Series which offers features such as a much faster speed and access times, making sure any computer equipped with this will offer a longer battery life and shorter boot-ups of programs, sans the noise of a cluttering hard drive when it starts to wear out.

5″ Solid State Drives (SSDs) which was developed to cater to the needs of business professionals, enthusiasts and entry-level enterprise applications. OCZ has released its Summit Series 2. The OCZ Summit Series was also built to cater to mission-critical systems, so network administrators and the local IT manager ought to consider this in their next round of upgrades.

OCZ Unveils Vertex Turbo Solid State Drives

software — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:06:56 +0000

5″ Vertex line, although improvements include increasing the clock speed for both the host controller managing data as well as the inclusion of a 64MB cache.

OCZ has rolled out their Vertex Turbo solid state drive that was built upon the current 2. The Vertex Turbo models rely on an SATA II interface to ferry data, boasting benefits associated with SSDs including a lower power usage and a skip-proof design. Currently, OCZ has estimated peak read speeds of up to 270MB per second (from its previous 250MB) alongside a peak write speed of 210MB per second, which is a vast improvement from the 160MB found earlier. Depending on your needs and budget, the OCZ Vertex Turbo SSDs will come in 30GB, 60GB, 120GB and 250GB capacities.

Empire State Building To Consume 40% Less Energy By 2013

4 annually here. We are talking about a savings of $4.

A lot of it is actually the “logic” of energy management (figuring out which spaces need warmth/chill. . . The Empire state building is undergoing a major retrofit that should result in a 40% energy savings. ). There is a lot of things to fix – here’s the list: windows light, radiator insulation, lighting, air handlers, chiller plan, building control system, ventilation control, tenant energy management. The planned renovations will cost about $500 and everything should be finished in 2013. Old buildings can be power hogs, but it doesn’t mean that they have to stay that way.
