Dr. Bard Ermentrout, University of Pittsburgh - Evolution of Colorful Shells
a – In today's Academic Minute, Dr. Bard Ermentrout of the University of Pittsburgh explains what the colorful patterns on a seashell can reveal about the evolutionary history of the creature that created it.
Bard Ermentrout is a professor of mathematics and the University Professor of Computational Biology at the University of Pittsburgh. His research program examines models of neural and muscle physiology and is focused on the area of mathematical neuroscience that seeks to understand patterns of activity in networks of neurons. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
Dr. Bard Ermentrout - Evolution of Colorful Shells
I have always been interested in how biological systems create complex spatial and time-varying patterns such as animal coats, fingerprints, and visual hallucinations. Among the most beautiful are the pigmentations of seashells, and in particular, the cone shells.
In previous work, my collaborators and I have developed a computer model for these patterns that is based on feedback between the pigmentation pattern that has already been laid down on the shell and the neural activity that controls the secretion of new pigment. Our model has about a dozen parameters which correspond directly to physiological and anatomical parameters in the nervous system.
By tuning the parameters, we were able to mimic the patterns on 19 species of cones. Other biologists had already used the DNA of these animals to create an evolutionary tree showing how currently living shells evolved from their ancestors. We used a similar method to create a tree based only on the parameters of our neural model. To our surprise, we found that the neural-based tree and the DNA-based tree were very similar. Thus we were able to use our model to infer what ancestral cone shells would look like something that is impossible using the DNA tree.
It turns out that, using ultraviolet light, it is now possible image the patterns on fossil shells. This will enable us to compare our predictions with actual fossils.
Changes in the parameters in our model are directly related to the structure of the animals nervous system, so, for the first time, we will also be able to follow the evolution of the nervous system. In the future, we will use our neurally based model to study the amazing camouflage patterns on the cephalopods such as the squid, octopus, and cuttlefish.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Raspberry, cherry pie, cracked black pepper, and spice driven scents with hints of coffee and new leather add complexity to the aromas classically associated with Barricia vineyards. Delicious sweet red fruit flavors at the heart of the wine give way to an intense finish with silky tannins and lingering flavors of blackberries and candied cherries. This is a wine with lovely structure and focus.
Blend: 76% Zinfandel, 24% Petite Sirah
"Zinfandel's briary, brambly personality is front and center on this wine, which wears its slightly rustic cloak proudly. It's the quintessential California Zin, dry, complex and peppery, offering a profusion of wild summer berry, licorice and tobacco flavors. One of the great successes of the vintage." 93 Points Wine Enthusiast

Sometime between 1960 and 1961, not long after my family moved from Chicago to Orange County California, I remember walking with my father along the Southern California coast near what must have been Huntington Beach. I was two going on three. We were living in an apartment in Anaheim and would soon move to a rented house in Costa Mesa.
My feet skipped two to three steps for each one of my father's as we walked, my tiny hand held firmly in his grip. He loved to talk, to point out the sights. A large ship heading North towards the Port of Los Angeles caught his eye, a dark horizontal gash on the blue horizon. Did I see it? I did see it and was impressed by its size.
Looking up to meet his gaze, I said "Daddy, it's bigger than you."
My father loved telling that story, which was true, and another story that wasn't. The other story featured my father as an organ grinder. He would play on a street corner while I, wearing a pink dress coat he adored, held out a tin cup like a little monkey for passersby to drop in coins. He told this story often, sometimes with a twinkle in his eye so you knew he was kidding.
He called me Baby Doll and read stories to me and sang to me at bedtime.
Bye, baby bunting
Daddy's gone a-hunting
Gone to fetch a rabbit skin
To wrap his baby bunting in
Bye, baby bunting
Bye, baby bunting
Those are my earliest memories.
In my next memory, circa 1961, I am standing at a chain link face surrounding an ice blue pool. It is somewhere near our rented home in Costa Mesa. I feel hot in my sweater so it must be Summer. A pretty blonde woman sunning by the pool raises her head, adjusts her yellow bikini top and rests her head back down facing me. I lean my face close into the chain link fence to peer at her through one of the tilted squares. I want her to talk to me. I call to her but she ignores me so I remove my sweater and slowly push it through the fence inch by inch, humming a tune. The sweater drops and I say "uh oh." The woman gets up, tosses the sweater back over the fence, admonishing me. She lays back down on the chaise chair and I slowly push the sweater back through the fence inch by inch, humming a tune.
That was in the days when my father got fired more than once for telling off a boss and would leave home for weeks at a time in the company of other women, or so he bragged to me when I was older. My mother, a nurse, had to work to support me, my older brother age five and my younger brother, an infant less than one year old. The babysitter had her hands full with my baby brother so I played alone or with my older brother when he felt like putting up with an irksome little sister. I missed my father when he was gone. In his absence my mother, at her wits' end, saved up a litany of parental grievances. Wait till your father gets home. This meant that when my Dad did come home I feared his anger.
This was the picture of family life from 1961 to 1964. The stress took its toll. By age six, in 1964, I had a permanent smile pasted on my face.
In the first memoir post I wrote early in 2010 I said that the physical and emotional abuse I suffered as a child did not kill my spirit and that is true. If anything, a fierceness set in. What the pasted on smile conceals, or attempts to conceal, is a broken heart. I trusted my father, looked up to him, and he changed before my eyes. Here was a different man curling his lips grotesquely and speaking hateful words to me as he removed his belt to deal out a measure of discipline. An hour or so later he was all smiles again, wanting to cuddle and bounce his baby doll on his knee. Tiring of cuddles and bouncing, he would lose himself in a book or head back out, away from home again. I felt invisible, got very good at constructing a polite exterior. Inside, a part of me died.
It took years before I had the to courage to challenge my father. I think I was twenty when I first tried to talk to him honestly about the past. To begin with, I was furious with him for lying to his new family, my step-family, about our family's past, because it put me in the position of also having to lie to protect him. Lord knows why I felt the need to protect him. I was young, a teenager. Our adult talks might have lead somewhere positive but in fact took us into even darker emotional territory because my father insisted on belligerence, indeed stuck to his belligerent position for the remainder of his life, until his death, his dream death, in 2001. He would ask, "what do you want to do, crucify me?" Or something similarly unhelpful. No, I didn't want to crucify my father, but I did want him to accept responsibility, to face up to the impact of his actions, and above all to stop abandoning me with his belligerence, his refusal to show empathy, his rude expectation that I get over it already and move on with the business of being a good daughter.
Near the end of his life my father said "if I had to make all of the same decisions over again I would."
And that is how he left this world, righteous to the end. Or so I thought, for years. Now I don't believe a word of it.
As I've said before, I'm not particularly religious, but there's one idea a devout Roman Catholic told me about that I've borrowed for my personal spiritual practice. He said, in reference to dead souls, that the "scales fall from their eyes" meaning that there is full understanding, of what was done and its impact on others. I believe my father understood more then he let on while he was alive, even though he tried very hard to deny it. But I like thinking of him as fully understanding, not fighting it. It brings me peace. I believe he is sorry he didn't take better care of his baby doll.
As he lay in a coma a few days before his death, this is what I whispered in his ear: it's okay Dad.
All I have from my father at the time of his death is this photograph he carried in his wallet. The cracks tell their own story, of love and loss.

Homtini Mountain Bike TrailThe Homtini Cycle Route is a circular route starting from Krisjan-se-Nek picnic site. From the picnic site follow the road towards Millwood for about 400m, then turn right into Pomp-se-pad. This forest track takes you through some indigenous forest for about 3km before branching off to the right into Deurpad, a forest slip-path. This section of single track has some exhilarating descents and takes you from the forest into the plantations. About a kilometer after entering the plantation the trail takes a sharp left and descends towards the Lawnwood River were you can refill your water bottle and take a cool dip. At the river the road starts a long climb up to Portland Hights, but once at the top you will be rewarded with a remarkable view of the area. From here the trail continues onward quite leisurely with more great views of the area before entering the forest again at the 14km mark along Boer-se-pad, another exhilarating section of single track. The trail rejoins the Millwood road at the 18km mark and heads back to Krisjan-se-nek. For riders of average fitness the trail will take about two hours to complete. Take enough time to drink in the scenery!
Distance: 19km, circular (anti-clockwise). Difficulty: Moderate to hard. Permits & Costs: R22/person. Get a permit from the little office at the boom. If the boom is unmanned a self issue permit applies. Contact number: Goudveld Forestry Station - 044 389 0129 Directions: From Knysna take the N2 towards George, about 8km out take the Rheenendal turnoff to the right. Follow this road for 12.6km and take the Bibby's Hoek / Millwood Gold Fields turnoff to the right (becomes gravel just after the turn). You will reach a four way crossing with a boom, sign in and pay here. Sometime out of season this boom is open and unmanned. Follow this road to the Dalene Matthee Memorial at the Krisjan Se Nek picnic site, 4km. The route starts here. Other: The water in the streams are drinkable, the dark colour is due to the tannins and humic acids from the leaves on the forest floor. |

If you consider some of the more profound motives, it's not at all surprising that our Departments of Transportation favor very expensive, confiscatory transportation policies like major mass transit infrastructure buildup – it's one big, ego-validating turf grab. As William Parker points out in his book The Agency Game, government agencies do not use revenues as a measure of success; instead, they replace that measure with agency expansion – the inevitable direction of government. We all want to feel like the thing we spend 40 hours a week on is "changing the world" for the better, so why be content as a dullard agency that merely paves and repaves the roads people drive on? Why not validate your sense of professional and existential importance by demanding a larger role in everyone's lives? And what better way to do that than by advocating policies which are, conservatively, three to four times more expensive than conventional ones? Randal O'Toole looked into this cost comparison of modes in his book, The Best-Laid Plans:
If you accept, as most urban planners do, that cities should try to get people out of their cars and onto transit, then rail transit is an extraordinarily expensive way to do this. The Federal Transit Administration developed a formula for calculating the cost per new rider, which is roughly the cost of getting someone out of his or her car and onto transit (though in fact some new riders may not have previously been driving). This formula is, basically, the capital cost amortized over the expected life of the project plus the annual operating cost divided by the annual number of new riders attracted by the transit improvements. Using this formula, improvements in bus service typically attract new riders at a cost of $1 to $6 per trip, but construction of rail lines typically cost $10 to $100 per new trip (252).
It's hard to imagine another marketable mode of travel which could convert mode share at a cost of up to $100 per trip, so it is easy to see why turf-grabbers would find this to be the 'happy' medium on their imperial quest. Numbers aside, there's also an obvious philosophical reason for the growing demand, essentially, for the nationalization of travel. That is, paving and maintaining roads offers little for legacy-seeking transit bureaucrats: all you're doing is accommodating the public's trips in their own vehicles. By pursuing policies which force people out of their cars and onto your pollyanna transit projects, you have suddenly put all of those people on your time, because your agency develops the schedules; you've put them in your place, because you located and built the transit center; you've put them in your vehicles, because you screwed with the transit network such that driving is no longer practical; and you've put them on your routes, because your agency develops them. The one concession transit agencies are willing to make? They'll let people pay for their fantastic transportation visions. In the process, you've taken their money, their power, and their rights. Consider the massive power grab involved, and it's not so hard to see why the growing army of transit bureaucrats desires this future.

European manufacturing ebbs further in March
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - Manufacturing across Europe's major economies endured another month of mostly deep decline in March, dragging down even former bright spots, surveys showed on Tuesday.
The slump among British manufacturers eased slightly, but overall purchasing managers indexes (PMIs) made gloomy reading.
Factories in Germany and Ireland, the relative stars of February's PMIs, fell back into decline last month. Everywhere else, the industrial rot extended.
Spanish manufacturing declined at its fastest pace since October, which followed news the government will revise its economic forecasts for 2013 to show a 1 percent contraction, from a 0.5 percent decline previously.
In France, factory activity retreated for a 13th month and car registrations there dived 16.4 percent in March, further underlining the malaise sweeping through the euro zone's second-biggest economy.
"The euro zone's March manufacturing PMIs ... (banishes) the recovery scenario projected by the European Central Bank further beyond the realm of likely probabilities," said Lena Komileva from G+ Economics in London.
Markit's Eurozone Manufacturing PMI fell in March to 46.8 from 47.9 in February - slightly better than an preliminary estimate of 46.6, but extending its run below the 50 mark that separates growth and contraction for a 20th month.
"Based on the experience of the past four years, the first quarter's Eurozone PMI average of 47.5 is consistent with no GDP growth (at best) and a weakening momentum into the second quarter."
The escalation of the crisis in Cyprus in the final week of March, however, had little bearing on euro zone manufacturing activity, at least judging by the fact the final PMI reading was no worse than the preliminary.
"We've had the Italian election, we've had the Cyprus story; we're a little bit uncertain to what extent that has played in," said Anatoli Annenkov, senior European economist at Societe Generale.
"But certainly, on the manufacturing side, that's a little bit weaker than what we'd hoped."
Combined with data on Monday from the United States, which showed factory activity growing at a three-month low, March made for an ominous month for the global economy - especially given the extent of jubilance on stock markets so far this year.
European shares extended gains on Tuesday after the data, although the euro slipped.
Tuesday's unemployment figures for the euro zone brought little cheer, showing the jobless rate held at 12 percent in February, a new record jointly with January, which was revised up from 11.9 percent.
Data from Britain were mixed. The UK manufacturing purchasing PMI index came in at 48.3, only slightly above February's surprisingly poor reading of 47.9, and a touch weaker than the Reuters consensus forecast.
While lending to British consumers ticked up in February, the number of mortgage approvals for house purchases fell for a second month, Bank of England data showed. Nonetheless, the value of home-backed lending rose.
"The onus is now on the far larger service sector to prevent the UK from slipping into a triple-dip recession," said Rob Dobson, senior economist at Markit, which compiles the PMIs.
Looking to April, the question will be to what extent the crisis in Cyprus, or rather the uncertainty it created, will have on the wider European economy.
Cyprus struck a 10-billion euro bailout deal with the European Union and International Monetary Fund last Monday, designed to untwine it from a failed banking sector that has long dominated its economy.
"While in some respects it is reassuring to see the events in Cyprus did not cause an immediate impact on business activity, the concern is that the latest chapter in the region's crisis will have hit demand further in April," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit.
(Additional reporting by Christina Fincher and William Schomberg. Editing by Jeremy Gaunt.)
Eurozone unemployment hit a record of 12% in February with January's 11.9% initial figure being revised upward:
Eurozone Unemployment 03.2013
Rising unemployment will continue to sap demand resulting in persistent Eurozone economic weakness.
Germany was formerly the only bright spot in Europe, but it is feeling the effects of weak demand from its southern neighbors. German manufacturing PMI dropped below 50 in March indicating contraction:
Markit Eurozone Components Manu PMI March 2013
Indeed, only France saw an increase in PMI in March, and it is still well within contractionary range.
All of this was viewed as good news by the investment community as the ongoing weakness in the Eurozone may push the ECB to cut rates a quarter point at its next meeting:
Eurostoxx 600 04.02.2013
Just like you shouldn't fight the Fed, you should probably not fight the ECB either.

My husband is a computer repair tech. He says that HP computers have the worst rep! He said 85% of his customers who have major computer problems, like motherboard problems, have HP computers. They have also had some of the worst quality control ratings. He recommends Asus and Dell.
@EnisEren: HP is getting better, but they still have a lot of QC problems. Like I said, most of his customers with serious issues like motherboard problems have HP computers. HP gives him the most business. I am not suggesting that everyone who uses HP is going to experience problems. My last labtop was a HP and it worked well for 4 years. But statistically, they are one of the worst computer companies as far as quality control goes.
When it comes down to it, every brand goes through recalls at some time or another. There is no perfect brand. Just choose what you like.
Toshiba. Preferably the Satellite series.
Acer overall is rated as the best
I vote Apple
Dell's Alienware.Check out this site - http://www.alienware.com/Landings/laptops.aspx?&ST=alienware&dgc=ST&cid=246707&lid=4263762&acd=123098073120560
Even has backlit keys.
I personally think laptops or horrible but I'm a gamer and that's why. If I were to get a laptop it would most likely be HP, unless you're looking to spend a ton of money, get a Razer Blade, or Razer Blade Pro.
Well i had an acer and an hp . Hp are mostly the best, hp windows8 is really good! i recommend HP
Apple is a great pace to get laptops from, and you can shop on line which makes it better
Alienware for gaming.
Apple for work and web browsing.
HP is in the middle :D
*sorry for bad english*
*Dell - Fun but prone to crashing
*apple-is all style usless for everything else
*hp-sucks at everything
*Toshiba-they're okay
*Lenovo-is like a Toyota boring but dependable
mac but i understand these are expensive so dell or Toshiba (second place)
I have a dell, and that works great, but my mom has a toshiba, for work, and I'm not sure how that is for her.
Lenovo is prefered by most business professionals.
If you are talking about the best company then there is only one Apple.
my personal choice is dell. because i am using it right now.before buying check all versions and new releases n their drawbacks.each n every laptops are same in config only companies have some added features good luck mate!
the best company of laptop is apple but i do not have apple laptop i have hp.
Its HP that has the laptop and tablet thing.................and i will suggest you dell......its the best one......
Best: Apple-imac
dell or hp
HP....I have an hp and it is amazing....you can download games and it never crashes.....
This is just my opinion but I have been with a HP computer for about a year and a half now and I haven't had ANY problem with it I also have Windows 8 and it's pretty awesome! :)
See the whole thing depend on the usage you are taking for I mean if it is rough and tough use go for any cheap laptop but if your laptop is your style statement then you have to go for the best that's a Mac Book , yes apple laptop are best in the world no doubt but are not good for hard jobs.
It really depends on what you want but alienware is best gaming, hp is good overall, acer a little more towards gaming, apple is good for people new to computers in general because it's easy to use, And personally id just say go to the Dell website and make your own!
Apple, Mac
I personally have an HP, although many consider Alien Ware to be the best laptop brand.
Dell Company is the best company because I personally have Dell Laptop.
Acer by far! They can get expensive, but they have the fastest processing power for any size and are very compatible.
This is obviously a question based on opinion, but from my personal experience I'd have to say the Apple MacBook Pro. They look good, are less prone to viruses, and last forever, and have plenty of built in applications that can help you to be productive right away. It just has a more professional, refined feel compared to computers running on Windows. After using one you will realize it is a user-friendly device and easy to learn how to use. And if you have an iPhone or an iPad or any other similar device, they're are a lot of cool applications you can use that can connect all of them together with iCloud and AirPlay. I could go on for a long time about the features of a MacBook Pro, but I digress. Now like I have said, this is just my opinion and I am in no way being biased to Windows computers, but I've had experience with both and after receiving a MacBook Pro back when I started college, I'd have to say I am really enjoying it compared to other laptops I've owned in the past. It is true that Apple's products are among the highest priced laptops on the market, but I assure you they are well worth the price. After buying one, I know you would not regret it for even a second.
Apple is good but has a special OS and if you work with Windows,you can't work with Mac OS.If you have a old apple laptop you can buy Macbook Air because Macbook Air very light(weight) and comfortable.If you work with Windows,you can buy Sony Vio or Dell.Sony is light and comfortable like Macbook but Dell is very big and not comfortable but Dell is a old company and makes laptop from 1984!!
From what I see from these answers, most are opinions. The seller is what I depend on and for me it is Best Buy.. I have no vested interest in Best Buy, but they do not get commissions so you can trust them to a higher degree than some others.

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
I got this in my box and I remember being kind of annoyed. But this actually smells really great, I was pleasantly surprised. I am not good at describing scents, but it has a nice floral smell that is not too sweet or overpowering. I might eventually get the full size even.
I was pleasantly surprised by this fresh smelling scent! I am glad that I received a sample of this in my Birchbox - I would have otherwise missed out on trying this out simply because I would not have tried it in the store based on the packaging.
If you love Juicy's classic sent, which I do, then this is a great choice for you it reminds me of the original but it's its own sent completely it has a little touch sweetness and a subtle berry smell but it's not overpowering in any way.
This smells amazing. It is fruity and fresh. I had so many compliments when this was on! It lasts all day also.
very sweet and pretty ive always wanted this and its nice to get it finally as a sample Im deff thinking buying the larger one
I have always been a Juicy fan anyway, but this scent makes me so happy, it just smells like summer. It lasts all day and doesn't wear off!
I had been using one perfume for the last 8 years and loved it. I could not find another that I thought smelled as good. When I received this sample, I was hesitant, but after a few days of wearing it, I love it! I constantly get compliments and think its a nice fresh scent for any season.
I have large bottles of Juicy Couture perfume so I when I saw this in my Birchbox, I was really excited once again. I do think I received a Juicy perfume fairly recently as well. But, since I love the product and brand, I'm ok with it.
I was a little hesitant as I already have a large selection of perfumes and I am incredibly picky.. but I LOVED this! Such a lovely scent, very happy!
Viva la Juicy is one of my favorite perfume lines of all time! anytime i wear any one of them, i constantly get compliments. this definitly is on the sweet side and very girlie. i wear it mostly on date night with my husband or out with the girls :)

Abstract: Calcineurin (or PP2B) has been reported to be involved in an array of physiological process in insects, and the calcineurin subunit A (CNA) plays a central role in calcineurin activity. We cloned the CNA gene from Plutella xylostella (PxCNA). This gene contains an ORF of 1488 bp that encodes a 495 amino acid protein, showing 98%, and 80% identities to the CNA of Bombyx mori, and humans respectively. The full-length of PxCNA and its catalytic domain (CNA1–341, defined as PxCNα) were both expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified recombinant PxCNA displayed no phosphatase activity, whereas recombinant PxCNα showed high phosphatase activity with a Km of 4.6 mM and a kcat of 0.66 S−1 against pNPP. It could be activated at different degrees by Mn2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. The optimum reaction pH was about 7.5 and the optimum reaction temperature was around 45 °C. An in vitro inhibition assay showed that okadaic acid (OA) and cantharidin (CTD) competitively inhibited recombinant PxCNα activity with the IC50 values of 8.95 μM and 77.64 μM, respectively. However, unlike previous reports, pyrethroid insecticides were unable to inhibit recombinant PxCNα, indicating that the P. xylostella calcineurin appears not to be sensitive to class II pyrethroid insecticides.

Test Setup, IOMeter 1.1 RC | ||||||||||||
Our Test Methodologies: Under each test condition, the Solid State Drives tested here were installed as secondary volumes in our testbed, with a standard spinning hard disk for the OS and benchmark installations. Out testbed's motherboard was updated with the latest BIOS available as of press time and AHCI (or RAID) mode was enabled. The SSDs were left blank without partitions wherever possible, unless a test required them to be partitioned and formatted, as was the case with our ATTO, PCMark 7, and CrystalDiskMark benchmark tests. Windows firewall, automatic updates and screen savers were all disabled before testing. In all test runs, we rebooted the system, ensured all temp and prefetch data was purged, and waited several minutes for drive activity to settle and for the system to reach an idle state before invoking a test.
As we've noted in previous SSD articles, though IOMeter is clearly a well-respected industry standard drive benchmark, we're not completely comfortable with it for testing SSDs. The fact of the matter is, though our actual results with IOMeter appear to scale properly, it is debatable whether or not certain access patterns, as they are presented to and measured on an SSD, actually provide a valid example of real-world performance for the average end user. That said, we do think IOMeter is a reliable gauge for relative available throughput within a given storage solution. In addition there are certain higher-end workloads you can place on a drive with IOMeter, that you can't with most other storage benchmark tools available currently. In the following tables, we're showing two sets of access patterns; our custom Workstation pattern, with an 8K transfer size, 80% reads (20% writes) and 80% random (20% sequential) access and IOMeter's default access pattern of 2K transfers, 67% reads (34% writes) and 100% random access. The Intel SSD 335 put up some very good scores in our IOMeter tests. The Intel 335 performed similarly to other SandForce-based solid state drives, including Intel's own 520 series product. In terms of bandwidth, IOMeter had the new Intel 335 series SSD outpacing the Intel 520 series drive by a couple of megabytes per second with both access patterns, putting the drive near the top of the charts. |
SiSoft SANDRA 2012 | ||||
Next we ran SiSoft SANDRA, the the System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. Here, we used the Physical Disk test suite and provided the results from our comparison SSDs. The benchmarks were run without formatting and read and write performance metrics are detailed below.
The new Intel 335 series solid state drive also performed very well in the SiSoft SANDRA physical disk benchmark. In this test, the Intel 335 finished right on top of the Corsair Force GT, but bested every other drive we tested. |
ATTO Disk Benchmark | ||||
ATTO is another "quick and dirty" type of disk benchmark that measures transfer speeds across a specific volume length. It measures raw transfer rates for both reads and writes and graphs them out in an easily interpreted chart. We chose .5kb through 8192kb transfer sizes and a queue depth of 6 over a total max volume length of 256MB. ATTO's workloads are sequential in nature and measure raw bandwidth, rather than I/O response time, access latency, etc. This test was performed on blank, formatted drives with default NTFS partitions in Windows 7 x64.
According to the ATTO Disk Benchmark, the Intel 335 series SSD is a middling performing with transfer sizes below the 64K mark, but once the transfer sizes increase past that point, the drive's performance improves significantly and it finishes tightly grouped with the others in its class. |
HD Tune Benchmarks | ||||
EFD Software's HD Tune is described on the company's web site as such: "HD Tune is a hard disk utility with many functions. It can be used to measure the drive's performance, scan for errors, check the health status (S.M.A.R.T.), securely erase all data and much more." The latest version of the benchmark added temperature statistics and improved support for SSDs, among a few other updates and fixes.
The Intel 335 series SSD's performance in the HD Tune benchmark is somewhat of a mixed bag. The bandwidth offered by the drive trails other SandForce-based products in terms of peak bandwidth, but access times and utilization are down slightly. |
CrystalDiskMark Benchmarks | ||||
CrystalDiskMark is a synthetic benchmark that tests both sequential and random small and mid-sized file transfers using incompressible data. It provides a quick look at best and worst case scenarios with regard to SSD performance, best case being larger sequential transfers and worse case being small, random transfers.
Our CrystalDiskMark scores look much like the HD Tune results from the previous page. The Intel 335 series SSD offers very good performance but trails the highest-performing drives by a couple of percentage points here. Performance at the higher queue depth, however, is the best of the SandForce-based drives; only the Vertex 4 and Samsung products performed better in the QD32 test. |
AS-SSD Compression Test | ||||
Next up we ran the Compression Benchmark built-into AS SSD, an SSD specific benchmark being developed by Alex Intelligent Software. This test is interesting because it uses a mix of compressible and incompressible data and outputs both Read and Write throughput of the drive. We only graphed a small fraction of the data (1% compressible, 50% compressible, and 100% compressible), but the trend is representative of the benchmark's complete results.
Like all SandForce-based solid state drives, performance will vary with the compressibility of the data being transferred to and from the drive due to the controller's architecture. In the read test, all of the drives are bunched very close together. In the write test, however, the SandForce-based drives trail when incompressible data is used. As the compressibility of the data increases though, so too does performance, and they finish at the top of the charts. |
PCMark 7 Storage Benchmarks | ||||
We really like PCMark 7's Secondary Storage benchmark module for its pseudo real-world application measurement approach to testing. PCMark 7 offers a trace-based measurement of system response times under various scripted workloads of traditional client / desktop system operation. From simple application start-up performance, to data streaming from a drive in a game engine, and video editing with Windows Movie Maker, we feel more comfortable that these tests reasonably illustrate the performance profile of SSDs in an end-user / consumer PC usage model, more so than a purely synthetic transfer test.
The Intel 335 series solid state drive offered very good performance in the PCMark 7 secondary storage benchmark, but it trailed overall versus some of the competing drives we tested. The deltas separating the higher-performing drives in this benchmark are quite small, however, especially when you tunnel down and look at the individual test results. |
Our Summary and Conclusion | ||||
Performance Summary: The new Intel SSD 335 series drive is an excellent performer. Like other SandForce-based solid state drives, the Intel SSD 335's performance does vary with the compressibility of the data being transferred, but overall the drive's performance is very good, especially in regard to large sequential transfers and random IO operations are higher queue depths.
Many of Intel's solid state drive offerings have traditionally been priced at the upper-end of the spectrum. But with the SSD 335 series, pricing is much more competitive. In the lead up to the launch, Intel informed us that they were targeting a price in the $184 range for the 240GB drive we covered here, which puts it at about $0.77 a gigabyte. Actual street pricing at the moment is somewhat higher, however. The Intel SSD 335 is currently priced at about $209, which is still well below a buck a gigabyte and competitive with other drives in its class, but not quite as enticing as their target $184 price.

Homearama 2013 reflects rebound in economy – Million-dollar houses are back for Homearama's 2013 show, thanks to an improving economy, Lance Lambert reported last week. For the first time in the 51-year history of the new home show, all six houses on display have been sold. Buyers paid between $850,000 and $1.3 million for the homes in the Carriage Hill community in Liberty Township. The show begin July 13 and runs through July 28.
What makes our community so special - Six months into 2013, I thought last week was a good time to share WestChesterBuzz's best human-interest stories in West Chester and Liberty Township so far this year. By reading through this weeklong series, it will be easy to tell why this community is so special.
J. Gumbo's coming to West Chester – A new J. Gumbo's restaurant has opened in Blue Ash. Located at 11255 Reed Hartman, it serves Cajun dishes, ranging from sweet to spicy, such as etouffée, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and of course, gumbo.The restaurant's owners have a J. Gumbo's in Finneytown, and they're planning a store at Union Center in West Chester, 6096 West Chester Road (in the former Cornerstone Café building). That store is expected to open sometime in August.
Portion of Hamilton-Mason Road to close – A portion of Hamilton-Mason Road near West Chester will be closed for three months in Fairfield Township so that it can be widened, Sue Kiesewetter reported last week. About 1,400 feet of Hamilton-Mason Road between the north and south legs of Morris Road, closed this week. Only residents living in that section will be allowed access.
Local schools map out security changes – When it comes to improving school security there is no such thing as a summer break this year for local officials, Michael D. Clark reported last week. Instead of the usual leisurely, summertime pace of school board meetings overseeing district operations, many boards are now huddling over key questions about school safety.
School board puts tax hike before Lakota voters – Residents in Southwest Ohio's second-largest school system will decide on a school tax hike after the Lakota school board voted unanimously last week (for the second and final time) to put a levy on the ballot. The Butler County district has cut millions from its operating budget in recent years and officials said they hope voters will end their string of tax levy rejections that has seen no new school tax since 2005.
