Our IDF panel (officially, the Academic Community Multi-core Programming Roundable) brought some lively points of view, and at least one recurrent theme. First, the points of view: Dan Garcia gave a quick overview of the UC Berkeley approach; they really *do* get the new kids coding a version of MapReduce - in the first school term. [...]

So far I have been posting the last week or so about how to apply a SOA "soft appliance" to overall scenarios like Federated SOA, SaaS, and Mainframe deployments.  XML performance acceleration, in-line / on-the-wire security processing, and manageability optimization also has direct application to specific vertical markets like healthcare, financial services, telecommunications and manufacturing. We [...]

Intel® Summary Statistics Library: how to detect outliers in datasets?

By Dmitry Kabaev (Intel) (4 posts) on August 29, 2008 at 4:29 am

Earlier I computed various statistical estimates like mean or variance-covariance matrix using Intel® Summary Statistics Library. In those cases I knew for sure that my datasets did not contain “bad” observations (points which do not belong to the distribution which I observed) or outliers. However, in some cases we need to deal with datasets which [...]

I am attending the annual (Intel) PRC Multi-Core Forum held at Xiamen. Among the overwhelming information I received from the experience and BKM sharing between faculty, one interesting point does catch my attention - As the computing power which used to belong to super computers now becomes normally available on our desktop and laptop system, should the [...]
