I made a mechanical symbol to represent a daughter board that will mount to my board. Simple rectangle with four mounting holes.
How do I get this symbol onto the circuit board? I have been through all of the menus in Editor and can't find anything that will allow me to bring a mechanical symbol into the board.
You need to set your psm path preference to look at the folder containing both the .dra and the .psm This is under Setup - User Preferences - Paths - Library - psmpath Add the folder containing the .dra and .psm to the list of paths. You can then use Place - Manually - Mechanical Symbols to add the symbol. You may have to go into "Advanced Settings" and select "Library" under "List construction" first.
In reply to budnoel:
The paths are set. When I go to "place / manually" the window that comes up does not give me any option to load a symbol. Just shows the Active Class / Subclass selections. Tried all three modes.
One thing I did try was to assign the symbol to a dummy part I placed in Capture and load a new netlist. The selection to place the new part comes up when I invoke Place / Manually, but when selected I get an error that says it could not find the symbol. I know the sysmbol is there and it is located in the directory that Editor is pointing to (which is where all of the other parts on the board came from).
If it comes down to it I can just place the four mounting holes and draw a box around them, but I was hoping I could place this as a symbol to make it easier to move around the board as one entity.
In reply to TH Designs:
Tom, if your .dra mechanical symbol is in your paths to your other symbols give this a try.
Place Manually > Advanced Settings Uncheck Database and check Library. Keep the window open and click on the Placement List Tab and then choose the drop-down list for your symbol type.
Did that work for you ?
Thanks Scott.
Place - Manually should display a menu that has two tabs - Placement List and Advanced Settings. This is the Place - Manually menu pick. As I mentioned you may need to choose the "Advanced Settings" and ensure "Library" is selected. It doesn't sound like we are talking about the same picks.
Before I walked away from the computer, I minimized the main Editor window. You'll never guess what was lurking behind it.............. The place / manual window with the placement list and advanced settings tabs.
Did what Scott suggested and selected library instead of database and here come all of my mechanical symbols. Selected the one I wanted and it is now on the board.
Blood pressure returning to normal......... Forging ahead.............
Thanks guys
AH HA, it was hiding in plain sight : )
Glad it worked out for you
Thanks Scott

The feel-good pill of market-recovery magic continued to have its invigorating effect on thesecond floor of Art Basel main hall, where the pulse of the primary market for contemporary works is taken.
"It's great," said Jeff Poe of Los Angeles gallery Blum & Poe. "It's like 2006 again. The market's not on fire, but it's simmering." The dealer saw a relative absence of an American presence on the buying front, with Europeans taking home most of the spoils. His partner Tim Blum concurred, adding that the disparity did little to slow the market down. "Basically everything sold," he said. That included TakashiMurakamis 2010 acrylic on canvas Korin Dokuro, which sold for $550,000, and a2009 Murakami diptych representing a reprise on canvas of his famed, randy sculpture duo My Lonesome Cowboy and Hiropon. The platinum-leaf diptych debuted at the gallery's new space last fall, but had to travel to Basel this week to find a buyer, selling for a little over a milliondollars "to Asia."
Blum said at least 40 percent of the buyers were new to the gallery. "That's hardcore!" exclaimed the dealer. Blum & Poe also sold two CarrollDunham mixed-media paintings for $150,000 apiece, including the 2009 Hers/Dirt/Two and two thickly impastoed and scored 2010 "face" paintings by MarkGrotjahn — Untitled (Unmounted Face 41.01) and Untitled (Unmounted Face 41.02) — for $90,000 apiece. A larger Grotjahn in the backroom closet, Untitled (Cream Butterfly), soldfor $200,000.
Lesser-known gallery artists also made a splash, as an untitled 7-by-8-foot Disney-like painting by FriedrichKunath, rendered in India ink, acrylic, lacquer, watercolor, and silkscreen on canvas and dating from 2010, sold for $50,000. The gallery also placed Zhang Huan HeroNo. 1 cow-skin sculpture, sited under the Pace Gallery banner as one of the 56 projects in the Art Unlimited section of the fair, to a Japanese collector for something less than the $1.8 million retail price, according to Blum.
There was more Murakami action at Paris-based Galerie Emmanuel Perrotins duplex stand as YumeLion, a unique and terribly cute sculpture in aluminum, bronze, steel with a Corian base went to a European collector for $1.3 million. Perrotin also sold Tatiana Trouvés realistic-looking bronze mélange Rocks (2008-10) for €90,000 ($111,000).
Sculpture was in demand as well at the booth of Antwerp's ZenoX Gallery, where new superstar MarkManders 2010 Unfired Clay Head, composed of wood, painted epoxy, iron, and offset print on paper, sold to a Great Britain–based collector for €50,000 ($61,600). Manders was recently featured in the NewMuseum exhibition "Skin Fruit," a Jeff Koons-curated take oncollector Dakis Joannous collection, and will be shown in September at the Hammer Gallery in Los Angeles.
Zeno X Gallery also sold a number of figurative oil paintings, includingMichaelBorremans The Shoes (2008) and Girl with Feathers (2010),at €85,000 ($105,000) apiece, as well as two untitled paintings by JohannesKahrs at €85,000 ($105,000) and €50,000 ($61,600) respectively. The gallery, which represented MarleneDumas well before her great leap to international stardom, didn't have any works works by the artist on view. "She just had a show with DavidZwirner in New York and just broken her right arm in Amsterdam after falling on the tram tracks," explained gallerist FrankDemaegd.
The dealer said he found that collectors' appetites have returned, but chiefly for delicacies. "If you have great things, there is no problem to sell them," according to Demaegd. "It's not like three years agowhen people just jumped in on it just for the name. Now, if it's not the right piece or price, people will walk away." A few aisles away, GalleryKoyanagi of Tokyo sold Canary Death, a small–scaled but haunting 2006 Dumas painting for an undisclosed price to a European buyer.
Primary-market works were snapped up with great confidence at London's LissonGallery, which sold two versions of a threatening-looking sculptureby the Puerto Rican duo Allora & Calzadilla for $55,000 each. The work, a camouflaged army helmet in painted bronze titled The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame, was affixed with actual wings and sported a telescopic sight. There is one more available from the edition of three.
Lisson also sold two recent circular mirror pieces by AnishKapoor in the £500,000 ($742,000) range, though the sculptures never got unpacked for viewing. One sold to a Swiss collector and the other to a buyer from South America, according to associate directorAlexLogsdail. An unnamed museum acquired Cory Arcangels 2010 PhotoShopCS, a large framed C-print abstraction for $34,000. According to Logsdail, the full title of the work contains the precise PhotoShop instructions "on how to make the piece yourself," as long as you can paythe enormous costs of printing the image.
The gallery also placed Slip Ring (2010), a new kinetic work by the 31-year-old U.K.-based artist HaroonMirza for a modest £8,000 ($11,900). The cleverly constructed soundsculpture consists of a vintage Grundig Transistor radio, a lamp, fabric, flex, an energy-saving light bulb, a motor, metal, and a CD, among other components.
However, the electricity of the current market was best expressed by the sea of fat red dots at Berlin's neugerriemschneider, where oil and charcoal on linen paintings and prints from BillyChildishs installation I Am Their Damaged Megaphone, were selling well. The 14 paintings in the booth had sold at prices ranging from €15,000 to €20,000 ($18,500 to $24,600), and prints starting at €500 were selling quickly. Resembling paintings by EdvardMunch and packed with obscure literary references about the modernist Swiss writer RobertWalser, who died in 1956, the installation seemed to thrill fair goers. Childish is literally a Sunday painter, making a weekly habit of visiting his mum in the seaside town of Whitstable, and the paintings evoke a refreshing breath of fresh air. It didn't hurt that the squeaky floorboards — an interlocking wood and mirrored art piece by JorgePrado — added to the experience. The booth also featured a batch of Ai Weiwei's foundantique Chinese chairs that encircled the big table in the center of the stand. Ai Weiwei brought a thousand of the flea-market-sourced chairs to the last Documenta, and a bunch are being offered now at €3,000 ($3,700) apiece.
Blue-chip art of very recent vintage was also moving at London's WhiteCube, where DamienHirst's glitzy cabinet Memories of Love (2010), standing over five-feet-tall in stainless steel and glass with 6,000 glass-and-lab gemstones, sold for £2.35 million ($3.49 million). White Cube also sold Luc Tuymans 2001 Rumour for $750,000, and Gary Humes 2009 View from a Balcony in gloss paint on aluminium for £125,000 ($185,000). Jeff Walls 2007 graveyard inkjet print piece Ossuary Headstone sold for $350,000 as well. The gallery had reserves on the gender-bent MarcQuinn bronze Buck with Cigar, but made a huge noise when it was knocked over during the VIP-vernissage blitz yesterday.
Taking refuge under the eaves of the outdoor courtyard, where hungry andthirsty fairgoers were paying huge prices for their bratwurst and Cokes, seasoned New York private dealer JimJacobs summed up the mood. "I'm embarrassed to sound so upbeat," said the dealer, who has been in the art biz for decades, "but I think it's a very powerful moment now, to see how up people are about collecting. I'm pretty amazed."

THE BRONX - News 12 is learning about how to prevent a dog attack after a 14-year-old pooch was nearly killed in Kingsbridge.
Nikki is stitched up and recovering after her owner says an unleashed German Shepherd got a hold of her. She's now trying to find that dog's owner to get help with her $7,000 vet bill, and to prevent another similar incident.
Trainers at the Bronx Veterinary Center are meanwhile offering tips about what to do if a loose, menacing dog approaches. They say you should use commands that every dog should know, such as "sit," and never run away waving your hands because it will make you more of a target.
They also say it's important that all dogs receive training, not just the big ones.

10 reasons why you should visit Denmark
1. Feel-good cities
Copenhagen has several times been voted the most liveable city in the world. When you add the happiness index, which time and time again scores the Danes to be the happiest people in the world, you get an idea of the vibe in our cities. Relaxed, friendly, secure – happiness really is contagious. Oh and did we mention the Little Mermaid?
2. Fall in love with the food
Everywhere from market stalls to world-class restaurants, the healthy appetite for local products, fresh produce and authentic cooking surrounds you. Forget all about chain restaurants and go for a destination that has put the buzz in New Nordic Cuisine.
3. Everything comes with a side order of culture
Art museums, zoos, aquariums, film screenings, concerts, festivals and world famous amusement parks such as Legoland and Tivoli – you will never be bored. Families, movie buffs, fashionistas and all of the above will find numerous ways to enjoy Denmark and all it has to offer.
4. Beaches beyond belief
But wait, Denmark is way up north. How can it be a beach destination? Your beliefs will change once you've seen the white, sandy beaches of the West Coast or the cool scene at the Amager Beach Park in Copenhagen. Even on a winter's day, the landscape is mind-blowing.
5. Living history
Fortresses, castles, UNESCO Heritage sites, Viking villages and historical towns are nothing unique in Denmark. It's what we live and breathe. It's our homes, workplaces and daily scenery. And of course a vivid reminder of the history of our ancestors.
6. Danish design DNA
Need we say more? Shopping, design museums and the fashion scene are as vibrant and dynamic as ever. While celebrating design icons from our past, we keep reinventing design, architecture and fashion. Experience it in shops and museums or just take it in while people gazing in cafés and restaurants.
7. Life – in motion
Denmark is the perfect place to get active. Bikes, kayaks, water sports and hiking; it's all accessible, easy to plan and fun. In fact, the first thing guests normally notice is the enormous amounts of bikes. Even the royal family transport their children on bikes, when they go to school in the mornings.
We Danes live a lot of our lives outdoors and we like to invite our guests to participate.
8. Aaaaand action!
Danish movies and TV series have put entire populations on the edges of their seats. Gripping family dramas, political intrigue, gritty crime scenes and royal romance – all united by great stories, strong female leads and lots and lots of action. Plan a set-jetting trip for you clients so they can visit their favourite locations and play out the drama with stunning Copenhagen, Aarhus or Funen as great backdrops.
9. Greeen and clean
Imagine a country without smog alarms, where water from the tap tastes better than the bottled kind and where the harbour is so clean that you can swim in it. Take a deep breath of fresh air and jump in with us!
10. Trains, planes and automobiles
Trains on time, beautiful, clean airports and so much available public transport that rush hour in traffic doesn't even leave us time to make a phone call. It is extremely easy to move around in our big cities, to take a train to the countryside or to just jump on a free city bike and explore.

Dominican Republic´s residential property market is growing considerably, thanks to the continued robust growth of the tourism sector and the rise of luxury international and boutique hotels across the country. In 2014, stay-over tourists rose by 9.6% to around 5.14 million from a year earlier.
The surge in the number of foreign property investors and tourists in the country has been pushing property prices up. In early-2015, the average price of residential properties in the country reached US$2,078 per square meter (sq. m.).
In Puerto Plata, located on the north coast, average apartment prices have increased by a whopping 23% in early 2014 from a year earlier, according to the latest Global Property Guide survey. Bigger apartments showed the highest price appreciation. A 200 square metre (sq. m) apartment in upscale neighborhoods of Puerto Plata, like Sosua, costs around US$2,426 per sq. m, up by 19% from a year earlier.
The same trend is evident for house prices in Puerto Plata, though the price appreciation is not that high. The average house price in Puerto Plata rose by 7% to US$1,689 per sq. m. in early-2014 from a year earlier.
Residential property prices in the country have been rising by an average of 10% every year after the global crisis, according to local real estate experts. In 2014, the total construction costs of houses rose by 3% from a year earlier, after an annual increase of 5%, based on figures from the Oficina National de Estadistica. However, in September 2015, housing construction costs fell by 2.3% from the same period last year, mainly due to a decline in the prices of construction materials.
In Santo Domingo, the country´s capital, luxury developments have been increasing, especially along the coastal areas, making it the center of high-end residential properties. Luxury beach villas in or near the capital city are priced as high as US$7 million.
In the Cabarete area, the price of an oceanfront condominium in a central location starts at about US$120,000, while a similar condo in a hotel-style development is priced from around US$250,000, according to Sandy Parekh of Remax Coral Bay Realty.
On the other hand, a 6,000-sq. ft. oceanfront residential property would be typically priced between US$1,700 and US$2,500 per square meter (sq. m.), according to William Holden of Holden Sotheby´s International Realty.
Despite the continued increase in demand, residential properties in the Dominican Republic have remained relatively affordable, and the country is still one of the least expensive housing markets in the Caribbean.
Though Dominican Republic has its own currency, the peso, most real estate listings and transactions are quoted in U.S. dollars.
The Dominican Republic has been the top vacation destination in the Caribbean since 2005, by a considerable margin, according to the World Bank.
The tourism sector continues to grow strongly, amidst robust economic growth. From January to May 2015, the total number of tourist arrivals in the Dominican Republic rose by 6.8% to 2,378,348 persons from the same period last year, according to the Caribbean Tourism Organization. The majority of these tourists came from the United States, Canada, France and Germany.
The government aims to attract about 10 million visitors every year by 2023.
Punta Cana is the most popular tourist destination in the Dominican Republic. Punta Canas international airport, situated in the countrys popular eastern region, received around 1.67 million or 66.8% of all tourists traveling to the country during H1 2015.
The Dominican Republics tourist developments are concentrated in the eastern and northern regions. Southern areas such as Barahona and Pedernales are less developed and less visited, but there have been efforts to promote them as eco-tourism destinations.
The Dominican Republic is the top Caribbean choice for foreign property buyers, especially to full-time expats, retirees, and second-home investors. The country has a total population of just 10 million people and a GDP per capita of US$6,481 in 2014, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Some of the most desirable residential areas are in tourist hot spots such as the capital, Santo Domingo, and the areas on the countrys beautiful Atlantic coast, such as the tourist towns of Sosua and Cabarete, the peninsula of Samaná, and Puerto Plata. Luxury beachfront apartments in places such as Punta Cana and Bavaro, Las Terrenas and Boca Chica have been built in recent years.
One of the most high-profile developments has been the Cap Cana project on the east coast, a high-end residential and tourist mixed development of hotels, oceanfront homes, golf courses and commercial establishments.
There are no restrictions on foreigners buying property in the Dominican Republic. Tourists come for the surfing and the windsurfing, and many of them end up buying homes here too, says Josefina Covents of the Cabarete-based agency Josefina Covents y Asoc.
Foreign property investments are greatly encouraged by the Dominican Republic government. Incentives, according to the countrys tourism office, include:
Aside from its reputation as a tax haven and long stretches of sandy white beaches and balmy temperature, foreign homebuyers are attracted to the Dominican Republic because property prices remain a bargain relative to the rest of the Caribbean. A newly-built one-bedroom apartment near a beach can be bought for just US$100,000 or less.
A stable government, an improving infrastructure, and easy access via its three international airports are further encouraging foreigners to purchase residential properties in the Dominican Republic.
Over the past decade the country has had a building boom, much of it was fuelled by foreign homebuyers. Crash-induced foreclosures did not generate a significant drain on the Dominican market because most foreigners pay in cash. Even so, according to Alexandre Houisse of Coldwell Banker Coast to Coast Real Estate, the global crisis did push prices down by about 20-25%.
New development projects fell by 70-80%, as a result of confidence crisis in the wake of global financial troubles, according to Sandy Parekh, broker-owner of Remax Coral Bay Realty. A lot of people that were going to develop projects have all put them on hold, he said.
Economic growth slowed sharply to 3.1% in 2008 and 0.9% in 2009, in sharp contrast with real GDP growth rates of 8.5% in 2007, 10.7% in 2006, and 9.2% in 2005.
As the global economy improves, especially that of the United States, the Dominican Republic´s tourism sector and property market started to recover. The foreign market for second homes has been reborn, especially during the last three years, said Realtor Association (AEI) president Emil Montas. And foreigners with high buying power have in increasingly come to live in the capital after having made large investments in the past two years, according to a report by Dominican Today.
The property market is now growing strongly again, thanks to the boom in tourism and robust economic growth. In 2014, the economy grew by a spectacular 7.3%, from real GDP growth rates of 4.8% in 2013, 2.6% in 2012, and 2.8% in 2011, according to the IMF. The economy is expected expand by a healthy 5.5% this year and by another 4.5% in 2016.
Construction activity in the Dominican Republic has been rising in recent years, particularly in coastal areas. In 2014, the construction sector accounted for around 7.3% of the country´s GDP, mainly fuelled by the growth in the new homes market.
However, most of the residential construction projects in the country are aimed at the high-end market. Because of this, the low-end market has been left behind with an acute shortage of low- to middle-income accommodations. It was estimated that the country has a housing deficiency of around 600,000 units. Frequent hurricanes and flooding have exacerbated the shortage. The government has recently pledged to expand its social housing programs and construct up to 40,000 new houses every year until 2023, with the help of the private sector.
Dominican Republic has currently a very small mortgage market. In an effort to buoy the real estate market, the government enacted Law No. 189-11, the Law on Mortgage Market Development and Trusts, in 2012. The said law provides several tax incentives and exemptions. Moreover, it also established the Trust as a legal instrument in the country´s legal framework.
The new law is expected to promote the participation of the private sector in providing low-cost housing projects in the coming years, in an effort to meet the increasing demand.
"The implementation of the Law for Development of the Mortgage Market and Trust is expected to help boost the sector in the medium- and long-term, and to mitigate the increased housing deficit in the country," said Jorge Yanes of Fitch´s Latin America Group.
Most property transactions in the Dominican Republic are done in cash. However in the last two years, mortgages offered by local banks have been increasing. Typically, the loan-to-value ratio is 70% of the appraised value of the property and the interest rates start at 8%.

OCZ Continues to Push the Performance and Capacity Envelope for Cloud Optimized Solid-State Storage
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2012 - 06:05 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: z-drive r5, z-drive R4 CloudServ RM1616, ssd, PCIe SSD, ocz, indilinx everest 2, chiron 4TB SSD, CES
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 - International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2012 - OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs), today announces the debut of new and exciting SSD solutions. Using the world's most popular technology tradeshow as a platform, OCZ's latest SSDs demonstrate a commitment to advancing flash storage technology into greater realms of performance and versatility, further driving adoption in client and enterprise applications.
"CES represents a great opportunity for us to showcase our latest storage technology, and highlight next generation cloud-optimized solid state solutions that address today's enterprise needs," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology. "Once again we have been able to leverage our increased R&D strength and our understanding of client needs to change the face of solid state storage and deliver innovative new solutions far ahead of our competitors, demonstrating technology leadership across all product categories."
OCZ will introduce next generation solutions designed to deliver higher performance, reliability, and storage capacity to meet the demands of the enterprise market with industry-leading products. OCZ products to be unveiled at CES include:
Z-Drive R5 – Utilizing the OCZ and Marvell co-developed Kilimanjaro platform, the fifth generation Z-Drive R5 is designed to accelerate "big data" like never before. As the world's first PCIe x16 Gen 3 SSD, which supports up to 16GB/s of total bandwidth, the R5 will be 2012's most advanced SSD, featuring performance that reaches up to an incredible 2.52 million IOPS and 7.2GB/s sequential transfers per card, with unlimited scalability and performance aggregation capability. With optional power fail protection the R5 will be available in a range of form factors including full height, half height, and 2.5-inch PCIe. The R5's industry-leading performance and storage capacities make pure flash storage in mission-critical applications possible.
Indilinx Everest 2 – The SATA 3.0-based third generation Indilinx controller is designed specifically for I/O-intensive workloads in a wide range of applications, supporting sequential speeds of up to 550MB/s, and up to 105,000 random read and 90,000 Random Write IOPS with the newest 2xnm flash technology.

CES 2012: ASUS Updates Transformer Prime with 1920x1200 Display
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2012 - 12:33 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: transformer prime, Transformer, tf700t, CES, asus
The ASUS Transformer and the newer Transformer Prime are often considered the best Android tablets on the market and the most likely to be able to compete with Apple and its iPad in 2012. Our own review from Matt Smith tells the same kind of story and is definitely worth a read to get some context for this news today.
At CES 2012 ASUS is unveiling a new version of the Transformer Prime with the TF700T suffix that adds a couple of really nice features including a high-resolution 1920x1200 screen and a new 2.0 MP front camera for HD video conferencing. These replace a 1280x800 resolution screen and a 1.3 MP front camera.
The current Transformer Prime that might already be outdated...
Also worth noting is a change to the back plate on the device that ASUS claims "should enhance WiFi, BT and GPS performance." Some users had complaints about WiFi issues and this should address it, if you are willing to pay the higher price for the better hardware as well.
Expect to see this selling for $599 to $699 when it is available this quarter.

CES 2012: ASUS Eee Pad MeMO ME370T 7-in Tablet with IPS Screen, Stylus
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2012 - 12:32 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tablet, stylus, memo, ME370T, eee pad, CES, asus
ASUS is hitting on all cylinders today and is announcing the new 7-in tablet called the Eee Pad MeMO ME370T. The company claims the device has "an emphasis on entertainment, media and light productivity" and with an IPS display and both capacitive and included-stylus touchscreen, the MeMO is a very unique product in the US market.
The hardware of the MeMO includes a 1280x800 resolution, dual-core Qualcomm 8260 1.2 GHz processor and 1GB of memory. I am kind of intrigued that they didn't use any currently available NVIDIA Tegra SoC on this though I won't speculate on why just yet.
It will be available in both 16GB and 32GB storage capacities and has 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1 and dual cameras for the front and back of the device; 1.2 MP front, 5.0 MP back. The unit will have a micro USB port, an audio jack that can be used for either output or input, Micro-SD memory card slot and micro-HDMI as well. Apparently a SIM card slot is included as well though I am not sure how that will work in the US market.
Coming in at under 1 pound, the MeMO is very light.
The Eee Pad MeMO will ship with Android 4.01 aka Ice Cream Sandwich when it is available in Q2 of 2012.

CES 2012: One Laptop per Child -- but get a tablet too!
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2012 - 01:19 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tablet, OLPC, CES 2012, CES
While tablets are so CES 2011, that does not stop that segment of consumer products from having a large showing at CES this year. You might consider them be a year too slate to the party, but that would have too many layers of pun-laden irony. One Laptop per Child Association (OLPCA) and OLPC Foundation (OLPCF) are non-profit organizations responsible for the popular One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project. OLPC is responsible for highly affordable laptops aimed at the education of youth with a particular focus on developing countries. OLPC's XO-3 is the project's latest announced product and their attempt at an educational tablet.
Just a touch of Sugar…

Joanna Stern from The Verge conducted an interview with Ed McNierney, CTO of OLPC, to examine the product. While the specific system internals is not precisely known apart from their use of an ARM-based processor backed with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of permanent storage, there are two noteworthy comments regarding their ports. Firstly, while the power adapter is apparently a custom design, it is done in such a way that permits voltages between 10 and 25 volts; specifically, the OLPC is very apathetic when it comes to the purity of the inbound power and can even be charged by OLPC's hand-crank generator. The other point-of-note for the XO-3 regards its audio jack: it is designed to be extensible to various non-auditory input devices such as a thermometer. This is not a tablet that you should be expecting under your tree both because it is not your typical consumer tablet as well as it not having a set release date -- and why do you still have gifts under your tree in January anyway? When the tablet does launch, it is expected to come along with a price-tag below $100.

Earlier in the weekend we heard about Lenovo's new ThinkPad X1 Hybrid notebook that combines standard Intel x86 hardware with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running an open-source Linux OS. While you will not be able to run both pieces of hardware at the same time the Media Mode allows you to put the Windows OS and hardware to sleep and run the light-weight OS with about double the battery life.
Lenovo was on hand at CES Unveiled to give us a walk through of how the feature really works. Take a look!

OCZ has a monster of a Z-Drive R4 on display at Storage Visions. We looked at the original 1.6TB R4 back in September. That one had 8 SF-2200 controllers on-board. This new R4 has 16!
This R4 has a beast of a VCA 2.0 controller. It's cooled by heat pipes, can handle up to 16 SATA links, address up to 16TB of storage, and pass up to 1.4 million IOPS across a PCIe bus at 6.5GB/sec (yes, GigaBytes). Note: this is not the R5, it's just a *really* fast R4.

CES 2012: OCZ Chiron is world's fastest and highest capacity SATA SSD
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2012 - 04:02 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: CES, ocz, chiron, sata, ssd
OCZ is taking the lid off of even more SSD products at CES 2012 and we have another pretty impressive piece of hardware called the Chiron to show. Basically a follow up to the OCZ Colossus drive we reviewed back in November of 2009, the Chiron claims to be the fastest and highest capacity SATA-based SSD.
The Chiron will be available in capacities of up to 4TB and will fit in the standard 3.5-in form factor of traditional hard drives. This would enable users to finally use SSDs for their mass storage though prices will likely be the limiting factor for some time to come. Server OEMs will be able to deploy up to 96TB of SSD-based storage in a standard 4U rackmount server.
Based on OCZ's upcoming Indilinx Everest II controller, the Chiron will have transfer rates as high as 560 MB/s and over 100,000 4k IOPS.

CES 2012: OCZ Shows Lightfoot, Thunderbolt External SATA Drive
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2012 - 03:01 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: thunderbolt, ssd, ocz, lightfoot, CES
Today at the Storage Visions conference before the start of CES 2012, OCZ was on hand to show off a few new items they have planned for the year. First up is the Lightfoot, a successor to the OCZ Enyo external USB 3.0 SSD that we reviewed and really enjoyed our time with.
As you can see it looks quite a bit bigger than the original Enyo and that is on account of the increased storage capacity. You can expect to see sizes as high as 1TB and it will also be available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
Here is the Thunderbolt connector that many a Mac user and, hopefully soon, PC users will be able to take advantage of for improved throughput with transfer rates as high as 750 MB/s quoted by OCZ.
OCZ claims that the one of the benefits of moving to the Thunderbolt interconnect is improved latency and highly accurate time synchronization that will allow for professional audio and video work to be done directly on the drive. We are pretty eager to see if this is the case...
The time frame for this device is still unknown but we'll see if we can get more information this week by asking the right people.
UPDATE: OCZ is telling us that Lightfoot will cost about $2/GB, so that 1TB model will run around $2000. For those a bit more frugal, you can get the 128GB option for something like $250.

Happy Holidays from… oh crap CES. Also, it's Microsoft's last

There are just a few shopping days left until the holidays, but feel comfortable knowing that whatever panic you experience will be over just in time for CES with our associated and broadcasted panic. We will be covering the expo and many of its events starting on the 8th of January for your entertainment and your education. One company that usually has a gigantic presence at CES, albeit not as reported on by us relative to other companies, is Microsoft; this year is no different -- but CES 2013…
The software giant's presence at CES 2013: Micro… and soft.
This year's presence? Big and right next to the restrooms.
(Image from MapYourShow.com)
Microsoft is known for having a large presence at CES each year, year after year, for recent memory. Over the years, Microsoft has unveiled products such as the original Xbox, gave a release window for their Project Natal (later Kinect), and just last year demonstrated Windows running on ARM processors. Microsoft's official statement denotes a shift from CES announcements to releasing news through social media, their website, and their retail stores for those who enter a Microsoft retail store.
After thinking about questions like these, we have decided that this coming January will be our last keynote presentation and booth at CES. We'll continue to participate in CES as a great place to connect with partners and customers across the PC, phone and entertainment industries, but we won't have a keynote or booth after this year because our product news milestones generally don't align with the show's January timing.
I, personally, would love for Apple to take Microsoft's booth space… for the delicious layering of irony. I would then of course love for it to have been a good decision for Microsoft to pull out to screw Apple over. Everyone wins by everyone losing.

IDF 2011: Knights Ferry Shown 8-Deep Running Ray Tracing
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors, Shows and Expos | September 15, 2011 - 06:17 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: ray tracing, knights ferry, idf 2011, idf
Very few things impress like a collection of 256 processor cores in a box. But that is exactly what we saw on our last visit to the floor at the Intel Developer Forum this year when I stopped by to visit friend-of-the-site Daniel Pohl to discuss updates to the ray tracing research he has been doing for many years now. This is what he showed us:
What you see there is a dual-Xeon server running a set of 8 (!!) Knights Ferry many-core processor discrete cards. Each card holds a chip with 32 Intel Architecture cores running at 1.2 GHz on it and each core can handle 4 threads for a total of 1024 threads in flight at any given time! Keep in mind these are all modified x86 cores with support for 16-bit wide vector processing so they are pumping through a LOT of FLOPS. Pohl did note that only 31-32 of the cores are actually doing ray tracing at any given time though as they reserve a couple for scheduling tasks, operating system interaction, etc.
Each of the the eight cards in the system is using a pair of 6-pin PCIe power connectors and they are jammed in there pretty tight. Pohl noted this was the only case they could find that would fit 8 dual-slot add-in cards into it so I'll take a note of that for when I build my own system around them. Of course there are no display outputs on the Knights Ferry cards as they were never really turned into GPUs in the traditional sense. They are essentially development and research for exascale computing and HPC workloads for servers though the plan is to bring the power to consumers eventually.
To run the demo the Knights Ferry ray tracing server was communicating over a Gigabit Ethernet connection to this workstation that was running game processing, interaction processing and more and passed off data about the movements of the camera and objects in the ray traced world to the server. The eight Knights Ferry cards then render the frame, the Xeon CPUs compress the image (8:1 using a standard Direct 3D format) and send the data across the network. All of this happens in real time with basically no latency issues when compared to direct PC gaming.
While the ray tracing game engine projects might seem a little less exciting since the demise of Larrabee, Pohl and his team have been spending a lot of time on learning how to take advantage of the x86 cores available. The Wolfenstein demo we have seen in past events has been improved to add things like HDR lighting, anti-aliasing and more.
Though these features have obviously been around in rasterization based solutions for quite a long time, the demo was meant to showcase the fact that ray tracing doesn't inherently have difficulty performing those kinds of tasks as long as the processing power is there and alotted to it.
I am glad to see the ray tracing research continuing at Intel as I think that in the long-term future, that is the route that gaming and other graphics-based applications will be rendering. And I am not alone - id Software founder and Doom/Quake creator John Carmack agreed in a recent interview we held with him.
IDF 2011: Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) Knights Corner
Subject: Processors, Shows and Expos | September 15, 2011 - 01:54 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: idf, idf 2011, knights ferry, knights corner, mic, terascale
During Justin Rattner's closing keynote at the Intel Developer Forum he discussed the pending changes to the Many Integrated Core Architectures (MIC) that we previously knew as the Terascale projects. While we have heard about the Knights Ferry component for some time, and it was basically used a software development platform for Intel's many-core initiative.
Impressive to see at this stage, the upcoming Knights Corner product will actually be built on the new 22nm tri-gate transistors and with more than 50 cores. They haven't posted more details on what exactly ">50" refers to but it does mean that Intel continues to progress down this path and is going to be pushing the terascale computing projects into the future.
Rattner also indicated that not all of the cores on the many-core projects have to be identical and we will soon see designs that combine more than the x86 processors to make for truly heterogeneous computing platforms.
Research into the program continues including things like stacked and shared memory, new communications protocols like optical interconnects, etc. We are just as eager to see the fruits of this research as we were for its application to gaming and graphics that eventually failed.

IDF 2011: New Ivy Bridge Details from Mooly Eden Keynote
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Processors, Shows and Expos | September 14, 2011 - 01:25 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: mooly eden, Ivy Bridge, idf 2011, idf
Today is day 2 at the Intel Developer Forum and with the first keynote out of the way, we can share a few short details about Ivy Bridge that we didn't know before. First, the transistor count is 1.48 billion - a hefty jump over Sandy Bridge that had less than 1 billion.
There was also mention of a new power management feature that will allow interrupts from other hardware devices to go to other cores than Core0, which it had ALWAYS done in the past. This means that it can route it to a core that is already awake and doing some work and not wake up a sleeping core unless necessary.
We also saw the Ivy Bridge processor running the HAWX 2 benchmark, now with support for DX11.
If you look at the die image at the top of this post, you will also notice that it appears more of the die has been assigned to graphics performance than was allocated to it on Sandy Bridge. Remember that on AMD's Llano about 50% of the die dedicated to stream processors; it would appear that by adding support for DX11, nearly doubling performance and including required support for things like DirectCompute, Intel was forced to follow suit to some degree.
Mooly laughed at press taking pictures of the die as he had purposely modified the image to hide some of the details or distort them to prevent precise measurements. Still, it looks like about 33% of the new Ivy Bridge processor is dedicated to graphics and media. This is good news for consumers, but potentially very bad news for the discrete GPU market in notebooks and low end PCs.
Finally, Mooly Eden ended with a brief look at future Ultrabooks that will be based on the Ivy Bridge processor.
If you thought the current generation of Ultrabooks was sexy (as I do) then you will really like what is coming up next.

Battlefield 3: This is what the PC players will be enjoying

Tagged: gamescom, battlefield 3
DICE was at Gamescom in Germany showing off an assortment of new Battlefield 3 details through their booth and a short keynote speech. The vast majority of the keynote consisted of the two speakers playing Battlefield 3 co-op on the console. Aside from the live co-op demo there was a trailer from a more classic Battlefield map inhabited with 64 players and fighter aircraft. Check it out below, preferably in high resolution and fullscreen. You can then check out the unofficial BF3Blog for the complete weapon list with claymores and mortar launchers.
So Call of Duty was leaving a bar and the pub server asked, "Gotta jet?"
It was also recently revealed that Battlefield 3 would be locked to 30 frames per second on the consoles which drew fire from Activision who runs their game at 60 FPS. Their claim was that the added framerate is required to have a more responsive experience. Unfortunately as our previous article reporting on Mozilla's stance on responsiveness shows: it is not as simple as 33.3ms versus 16.7ms latencies. Even under the assumption that the framerate is at its maximum you cannot tell the exact duration between input and TV draw without the use of a high-speed camera looking at both player-controller and monitor. Many frames could go by without even looking at the input loop and all the other dependent code on parallel out-of-sync threads that finally alter the state of the threads that draws what you should see. Be careful what you read folks; while yes, higher framerate gives the higher potential for lower latency between press and draw it is not necessarily the case. All of that said we will be on the PC which has its own set of methodologies for how to handle multi-process (there are still latencies inherent with any multiprocess game, but with different limits) and thus this is entirely irrelevant to us, but still a good learning experience regardless.
