HPC in the cloud
Cloud Play
Cloud computing is most definitely here, but does it have a role in HPC? We discuss changes in HPC that could be solved effectively by cloud computing.
I'm not a big Bob Dylan fan, but when it comes to HPC, "The Times They Are a-Changin'." Some of this change is going to the cloud, not because it would be really cool, but rather because HPC has existing workloads that fit well into cloud computing and can save money over traditional solutions. Perhaps more importantly, I think HPC has evolved to include non-traditional workloads and is adapting to meet those workloads – in many cases using cloud computing to do so. I will explain by giving two examples.
1. Massively Concurrent Runs
At one HPC center that I'm familiar with, users periodically submit 25,000 to 30,000 jobs as part of a parameter sweep; that is, they run the same application with 25,000 to 30,000 different data sets. Many times the application is a Matlab script, a Python script, an R script, a Perl script, or something particularly serial (i.e., it runs well on a single core). The same script is run but with thousands of different input files, resulting in the need to run thousands of jobs at the same time. Many times these applications run fairly quickly – perhaps in a couple of minutes – and many times they do not produce a great deal of data.
A closely related set of researchers study operating systems and security, during which they run different simulations with different inputs. For example, they might run 20,000 instances of an OS, primarily a kernel, and explore exploits against that OS. As with the previous set of researchers, the goal is to run a huge number of simulations as quickly as possible to find new ideas about how to protect an OS and kernel. The run times are not very long, but they must run the tests against a single OS. Consequently, they run thousands of jobs at the same time and then look through the results and continue with their research.

10 Dec, 12:23
Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations match in February, while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
George Ford's 50th-minute penalty got the Saxons off the mark, and the 19-year-old out-half went on to guide the visitors home backed by a stiffening Galway wind.
Ford and man-of-the-match Graham Kitchener sparked the break that eventually led to Will Fraser's unconverted try in the right corner.
The win was wrapped by a late penalty from Ford - his third of the match - with the Wolfhounds pinned back for the remaining five minutes and out of scoring range.
Both teams contained a smattering of senior-capped players with some harbouring hopes of earning Six Nations call-ups.
The fit-again Luke Fitzgerald, enjoying his first run-out in green since neck surgery last summer, boosted his chances with a workmanlike display.
The Wolfhounds' debutant full-back Robbie Henshaw impressed under the high ball and threatened on occasion in attack, while home captain James Coughlan was particularly effective during the opening 40 minutes.
Leicester's Jordan Crane skippered a Saxons side with an average age of less than 24 and they came under immediate pressure from their more experienced opponents.
Connacht duo Henshaw and David McSharry enjoyed early carries - roared on by the Sportsground faithful - but the wind-backed Jackson pulled a third minute penalty wide.
Although Ford probed with a couple of accurate kicks, the Wolfhounds maintained their stranglehold of possession and the breakthrough duly came.
A Devin Toner-won lineout in the English 22 saw Mike Sherry maul up close to the line, and a well-timed pick and go saw flanker McLaughlin drive over from close range.
Jackson converted from the right and the Saxons, using their powerful scrum, did well to avoid leaking further points during a one-sided opening quarter.
Lewis Stevenson was hauled down near the posts following a well-executed move off a lineout, while hooker Sherry also showed his ball-carrying ability.
The Saxons won a couple of penalties to get into scoring range. However, Ford's first attempt on goal - a meaty 41-metre penalty in the 27th minute - bounced back off the right hand post.
With Crane and Jordan Turner-Hall wielding more influence and Ford providing direction from the stand-off position, the visitors started to find some rhythm.
Jackson put 10 points between the sides with a well-struck penalty, awarded for a stray elbow on his half-back partner Paul Marshall. Saxons hooker Joe Gray was fortunate that the match officials failed to spot the exact offender.
But Gray was part of a dominant English scrum. They had the Wolfhounds under all sorts of pressure in the set piece approaching half-time, with Nick Wood especially effective at loosehead.
They were close to forcing a penalty try, but somehow the Irish survived and it was no surprise to see the Saxons forwards resume in control.
Jon Callard's men gleaned the early momentum in the second half, building ominously from a Kitchener-won lineout.
They had to settle for three points from Ford after Michael Bent infringed at a scrum. Importantly, the teenager's tactical kicking also kept the Saxons in control of territory.
The Wolfhounds' defensive workload was taking it toll and after skipper Coughlan came in at the side of a ruck, Ford rifled over his second successful penalty for 10-6.
Iain Henderson almost made an immediate impact off the Irish bench. The big Ulsterman was pinged for a double movement as he stretched for the try-line, following up on a midfield break from Darren Cave.
The Saxons soon carved open the Irish defence with that Ford-inspired attack. A spell of patient build-up play was then rewarded with Fraser's 67th-minute effort out wide.
The Saracens flanker did superbly well to ground the ball despite being tackled by Fitzgerald. Ford sent his touchline conversion attempt wide.
A couple of crooked lineouts left the Wolfhounds frustrated and Ford, with the breeze behind him, made the game safe with an assured 75th minute kick from near halfway.
TIME LINE: 2 minutes - Ireland Wolfhounds penalty: missed by Paddy Jackson - 0-0; 10 mins - Ireland Wolfhounds try: Kevin McLaughlin - 5-0; conversion: Paddy Jackson - 7-0; 27 mins - England Saxons penalty: missed by George Ford - 7-0; 32 mins - Ireland Wolfhounds penalty: Paddy Jackson - 10-0; Half-time - Ireland Wolfhounds 10 England Saxons 0; 50 mins - England Saxons penalty: George Ford - 10-3; 62 mins - England Saxons penalty: George Ford - 10-6; 67 mins - England Saxons try: Will Fraser - 10-11; conversion: missed by George Ford - 10-11; 75 mins - England Saxons penalty: George Ford - 10-14; Full-time - Ireland Wolfhounds 10 England Saxons 14

The copy of the first edition recommends the book for those who are eight years and older. If your child is not a fan of dark fantasies or dark fairy tales, she or he might not want to read it by themselves. I recommend reading it as a family purely because it is a timeless classic for all ages. Plus, the company of a trusted loved one will make it less scary for those who are sensitive.

March 15, 2011 — The California Constitution provides all students grades 1 through 12 with the right to free and equal public education. On the surface that is the way it should be. No child should be denied a public school education because of his or her socioeconomic status, creed or race. We think the intent was clear and pure when the legislature penned the provision in the state's Constitution.
But, as with many things the long-reaching arms of lawsuits has infiltrated the public education system and before he left office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that a settlement was reached between the state and American Civil Liberties Union concerning fees charged by school agencies. Charging of fees to students is now a violation of the free and equal education provision.
Lassen Union High School's Board of Trustees addressed the new ruling at its March board meeting and no one seems to know how this will affect the high school from providing extra-curricular enhancements for students.
Budgets are at starvation levels. There is not much more any school can cut. Teacher layoffs have to be noticed by this Tuesday, March 15 to be effective in the 2011-2012 school year. Schools are dipping into reserve funds with no idea if they will ever be replaced. School districts such as LUHSD are cutting community day school programs, and looking at ways to fundraise to keep sports, FFA and FBLA. Westwood high has a successful agriculture program that had to be cut last year. Deferments are being made at the state level on the hopes taxpayers will vote to keep tax extensions in place another five years.
Now, the state is telling schools they can't charge student fees for educational activities such as college visits, SkillsUSA competitions, FBLA contests, FFA competitions, music contests, etc. Unless the school superintendents come up with legal, ingenious ways to raise funds rural students such as those living in our county will suffer the most. Our students don't have the luxury of getting on a city bus or carpooling a few miles to a competing school to participate in an extracurricular event as city school students do.
We have already seen a decline in music and arts and therefore can assume drama, leadership opportunities, vocational studies will be the next to go followed by sports.
Our concern is once these programs are eliminated how will our children become the well-rounded students colleges seek and desire. Grades are not enough anymore for college admittance. Extra curricular programs teach the valuable life skills necessary for young people to be good citizens.
Do we have a solution? We have ideas and the first is that the communities of Lassen County need to rally together to figure out how they can still provide for all students in Lassen County. Whether on an individual basis or as a business, some how we need to form a cohesive group that will legally fund students to continue to have educational activities. We salute Dr. Cutler, LUHSD superintendent, for working on plan now and seeking a long-term vision for sustaining the extras all students need to have available to be successful. We encourage the rest of the school administrators to get on board now and not wait for the voters to decide on tax extensions in June, which if passes may be a little too late.

Great bike, terrible instructions
By LisaB
from Newnan, GA
Comments about Dynacraft 16 inch Duosonic Tony Hawk Bike:
I got this bike for my 6 year old son. He loved the bright colors and cool styling, especially since so many of the 16" bikes were covered in cartoon characters. He is on the smaller side (45") and reaches the ground with the seat on the lowest setting. He also has plenty of room to grow. We purchased the bike unassembled as we have done with many others. However, the assembly instructions are terrible. Plan on looking at the photo on the box for guidance. But if you have built a bike or two in the past you can probably manage, even with the poor direction.

About Me Getting Started
My nephew is really enjoying the bike. We took him to the store to let him chose the bike he wanted. The Tony Hawk bikes were on sale and also had multiple sizes and colors available. He ended up choosing this bike because it was a little smaller than the 18 inch. We really liked the fact it came with training wheels already on it. He was thrilled because it was all ready to go! It is a great starter bike for a child age 3-6 years.The only thing I didnt like about the bike was the seat, but he wasnt complaing and you can always switch it out if you need to.
Great bike, great price

We bought this bike as a gift for my sons 6th birthday. He absolutely LOVES it. It seems very well constructed and the colors are vibrant. The only thing I don't like is, there are no reflectors on the bike. That's an easy fix, but I'd rather it come with them. My son said the seat is really small, which it is, but it doesn't stop him from riding it. It's a great transition bike when they've learned to ride w/out training wheels.=)

After 15 years of heating with wood I switched to anthracite coal in September of 2007 and wouldn't go back to wood if you paid me. I bought a Kodiak Coal Stove from Alaska Stove Company and it's simply been the best stove I've ever used. No more chainsaws, backbreaking wood splitting, stacking or hauling wood into the house.
I built a coal bin inside the right third of the generator shed that holds about three and half tons of anthracite coal. The back side of the shed is conveniently located along the edge of my road so the coal truck can easily fill the bin from the back window of the shed.
Throughout winter the stove burns about a five gallon pail, or roughly 40 pounds of coal a day, and you just can't beat it. The stove holds up to 120 pounds of coal, and the fire burns uninterrupted for hours and hours at a time. Unlike burning wood, the temperature in the house hardly ever varies. Cleaning is a snap, and the ash is great to have around when my road gets icy.

I faced this with a filled /tmp on some nodes from time to time. As we are using SGE, I use their load-sensor facility to check the free space there and put the node into alarm- state otherwise, i.e. disabling the queues on this node. Maybe something similar could be implemented also with Torque, to get some self-healing at weekends. - Reuti > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

How do you grow?
In February 2005 George O'Kelley taught me "Nothing changes if nothing changes." Mostly I focused this outward viewing others and their actions but recently realized my lack of change.
My comfort zone has been reading the same types of books. Really I had not realized the depth of things until I read The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. I have changed and grown mightily through reading yet now realize I have really not achieved escape velocity.
Has my growth been stymied? Have I been comfortable in my learning/growth and perhaps even proud?
Like in an old movie fight scene; my head was rocked. I was accepting the status quo by doing what I had always done. My comfort zone evaporated. Would I patch it up and continue the status quo? Afraid not.
Walking outside my comfort zone bears out the the truth Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. proclaimed; "Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions."
I am stretching.

The Monochrome Monologues
If it's just print, it's a commodity thing. It's based on cost per page and you may or may not be competitive with distributed office MFPs. But if you can start to incorporate some value add for the content that's being printed—the variable content or maybe a campaign associated with that concept—that's the way you differentiate yourself from those office devices.
Q: What should printers know about the new generation of monochrome digital devices that they may not be aware of?
A: I started to think about the latest technology enhancement, how many dpi, what sort of inline finishing, or what kind of media can you support. And there have been a lot of announcements from different people from a technology perspective about the hardware. But I don't think that is the most important thing for the Quick Printing audience to realize about digital monochrome devices. It's more to do with what they can do with it to drive their revenue up or their costs down. I think the most important thing they should know about is how to differentiate their services.
They can't do that with an offset device. They can probably do it with any digital device as long as they buy one of the latest from any one of the competitors, including us. But if they want to simply get a digital device to put in their shop to handle requests they might get that they can't do on a traditional offset, then they're really waiting for a commodity type customer to come in and say, "Hey I need to get this digital job run. Can you help me?" And that customer may be price shopping between two different quick printers.
But if they can start to learn the techniques and use the tools to help them manage the customer's job and leverage the customer's content in different ways—whether it's what's printed or what's tracked after it's printed—measuring results of campaigns, tracking the responses, and mining data, that's where the digital device can become a real tool. But it really doesn't matter which one you choose. I think that's really the most important thing.
Every time I talk to a customer about what are you really going to be printing on this device, most of the time it appears as though it's just, "We need to print some commodity print." They aren't saying, "We're going to try to set ourselves up as a differentiator or try to build our relationship more tightly with our customers and make it hard for them to move to someone else."
Bob Schalberg, Director Current Product Marketing B&W
Q: There is a lot of confusing terminology describing digital monochrome output devices in the current marketplace. How do you differentiate between a printer or copier/printer and a digital press? (For example, is the determining factor the duty cycle, speed, resolution, service reliability, or something else entirely?) Or is it all just marketing semantics?
A: I could take you through a brief history of how we got to where we are and it's probably a summary of how the industry got to where we are as well. Many manufacturers that make high speed, high productive digital printing equipment started out as copier manufacturers. Then they morphed into copier/printer manufacturers. Then our industry went through a transition from an analog based technology to a digital technology, not unlike what has occurred in other industries.
As we achieved this sophistication of moving into the digital age, and we achieved the reliability to support productive, high volume print environments, we pretty much evolved into characterizing our product as a digital press. There are a number of reasons why we would consider it a digital press. When you talk about presses, you think about ink and water, offset type environments which have historically been known as high volume, high production, high quality type devices. As we manufactured these products, we've met the productivity requirements of the marketplace, we've met the speed requirements of the marketplace, and we've also met the image quality demands of the marketplace for the most part.

Hi it's 57T again. These are my reflections on Unit B Chapter 1 for science.
This lesson I learned that convection can travel using only using gasses and liquids. I also learned that the sun uses radiation to produce heat. I also thought the currents were interesting. My favorite lab was definitely the popcorn lab. My least favorite part was probably the test; I thought it would be really hard because it was the first test.
As you can see, I liked this lesson alot but, I still want some examples of radiation. Do you have any examples for me?

As a parent, you've probably seen worse animated films than Escape From Planet Earth — especially from the same studio.
Escape, however, marks a mini-step forward for the Weinstein Co., as something not much funnier than most of its earlier fare but at least not as bad as Doogal and Hoodwinked. The adventures of Scorch (voiced by Brendan Fraser), a Buzz Lightyear-style alien hero, are covered by a live video feed from wherever in the universe he is sent.All swagger and bravado, Scorch is a bit of a dope.
His tech-nerd brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), always pulls his blue biscuits out of the fire — until they part ways.
The parting happens just as Scorch leaves for the Dark Planet, where aliens disappear. Which is what Scorch does, right in front of a 7-Eleven.Yes, the Dark Planet represents Earth.
Gary is shamed into attempting a rescue by his wife, a former test pilot (Sarah Jessica Parker), and son.George Lopez, Jane Lynch and Craig Robinson voice other aliens, while William Shatner is heard as the creepy general in charge.

Multi-Stage Continuous Integration
Removing Integration Delays with Collocated Whole Teams and Multi-stage CI
Tue, 2009-02-03 14:51 — Damon PooleLevel: Practicing
As individuals we work in transient isolation to reduce the impact of work in progress on each other. Organizations isolate WIP by using only official versions of 3pty sources and by producing official releases for customers.
Multi-stage continuous integration (MSCI) scales CI to large distributed environments by isolating work in progress at the team level. Changes move from individual to team to mainline as fast as CI allows, but stop on failure.
MSCI is particularly important in a distributed environment where fixes to problems exposed by CI can be delayed by a full day.

The latest news on Enron
Banks shouldn't be large enough where their criminal prosecution could sink the economy.
Because Corzine is a Democrat and Obama is a Democrat, people who should know better are ready and willing to turn a blind eye to what is going on.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned away an appeal from a former Merrill Lynch executive who was convicted on perjury and obstruction charges that stemmed from a bogus 1999 deal involving Enron.
Business schools still teach traditional cases, but students are introducing timelier conversations.
Students may be better off applying for traditional jobs and bringing ethics into those roles.
Goldman Sachs employees gave much more to Obama than Enron employees did to Bush.
Poor crisis leadership was on display after Hurricane Katrina and during the financial crisis.
From unwary assistants to Madoff and Enron's Ken Lay, among others, a wealth of inside dirt.
We should have learned the Enron lessons then so we could avoid the Wall Street lessons now.
Today's disaster is a result of lessons not learned during the Enron mess.

Recipe by Micahlynn
"Absolutely wonderful fruit smoothie with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and more! I have this for breakfast every morning."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/3 cup fresh blueberries
1/3 cup fresh raspberries
4 large fresh strawberries, hulled
1/3 cup pomegranate juice
1/3 cup mango juice
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons honey
I thought this was delicious and refreshing! To make it a bit frostier and thicker, I used frozen blueberries and one fresh mango instead of the mango juice, used nonfat yogurt instead of the milk, then thinned to desired consistency with a little soy milk. Nice smoothie recipe to add to the collection! Thanks!
Not great! It was nothing out of the ordinarry and it tasted funny
11 Ratings
I halved this recipe, substituted the raspberries for blackberries and the mango and pomegranate juices for fresh squeezed orange juice. It turned out simply amazing! Make sure all the ingredients are super cold, if not frozen, to make this treat super great!
Delicious! I added a squeeze of lemon juice and also used just orange juice instead of the pomegranate and mango.
I only had cranberry-pomegranate juice on hand so I used 2/3 cup of that instead and it was fantastic!! I highly recommend chilling the smoothie once blended to make it especially refreshing on a hot, summer day!
Nice combination of fruits. I omitted the honey and added 1/2 scoop of protein supplement strawberry flavor. I also used orange juice instead of promegranate juice because I didn't have any. Thanks Michalynn!
Delicious! I had to tweek it a little, I didn't have mango juice and instead of milk I used vanilla flavored pure coconut milk. It tastes great!
Great idea for breakfast. Been making this smoothie for a while, making variations on the recipe to change up the taste a little. Variety is the spice of life. As far as substitutions, this recipe is also good with frozen whole berries; saves on prep time. Also great with orange juice as substitution for the mango juice. Thanks for the idea.
