It ain't easy being agile

(With apologies to Kermit the Frog, whose song "It Ain't Easy Being Green" is a much older meme). I love reading case studies of teams that shake up "business as usual" and reinvent their world. It inspires me to be open to the possibilities of such change. If you are involved at all in software engineering, check [...]

Once Microsoft released to manufacturing Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V on June 26, 2008 it wasn't long before I upgraded the beta installation that I have been using for a month or two. Setup of Hyper-V is as simple as adding an additional role to Windows Server 2008 and the following screen shots describe the process in [...]

Serial Programming is Dead! Long Live...uh...serial programming?
By Clay Breshears (Intel) (79 posts) on July 2, 2008 at 2:18 pm

I guess paraphrasing some standard quotes just doesn't work everytime. Still, if serial programming is "dead", why is there still so much of it around and why is an eminent CS professor still concerned about it? And what impact will today's serial programming have on tomorrow's parallel code?

Rick Strahl's "Making sense of ASP.Net Paths" has been inspiring to me since I have visited the page quite often so I thought I might do a quick similar post for Client Side JavaScript code and some How To's with some AJAX know-how sprinkled in. Firefox and Firebug add-on developer tool make undestanding JavaScript's document.location much [...]

Implementing task_group interface in TBB
By Arch Robison (Intel) (19 posts) on July 2, 2008 at 5:53 am
Comments (3)
The TBB class task was designed for high-performance implementations of the TBB templates. It's efficiency, particularly its emphasis on continuation-passing style, comes at some price in convenience. Rick Molloy of Microsoft has posted a description of a task_group interface that Microsoft is considering. It's more convenient for than the TBB interface, particularly when your compiler supports C++ [...]

As some of you might have noticed from some of the previous blog posts I have written on the release of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, the configuration of Windows Server 2008 as an aero-enabled workstation, or dual booting Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, I have now been using Windows Server 2008 as the primary OS on [...]

About two years ago, ISN (Intel Software Network) made a strategic shift to become more transparent and shift control to you (user). At that time it was a BIG change for Intel (& I argue that it still is). Imagine Intel engineers having their own blogs!! Imagine letting you have direct conversations on our community!! Imagine letting you [...]

Virtualization for the Software Engineer - One Year Later
By Doug Holland (Intel) (72 posts) on July 1, 2008 at 10:23 am
Comments (2)
A year ago I blogged about how virtualization was becoming an increasingly pervasive technology within the software engineering community. At that time I had began using a workstation based upon the Intel D975XBX2 motherboard and the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Edition QX6700 processor. With the 64-bit version of Window Server 2008 and the newly released Hyper-V [...]
