Computer Networking...






The rise of software defined networking or SDN has been significant in the recent past. This is a new approach to computer networking and holds the promise of revamping the conventional data center. On one hand it is compelling established companies like Juniper and Cisco to refashion their strategy and on the other, several new or start up companies are taking to this technology right away. SDN essentially helps deal with networking bottlenecks created by old fashioned routers and switches.
While major equipment has received upgrades, these devices have not and therefore cause the networking glitches. SDN splits the control functions but manages them via one centralized program. This means that the routers and switches do continue to manage the data transmission but do not have to be sophisticated like the hardware.
After the advent and growth of virtualization, SDN seems to be the next big paradigm shift in the data center.

Computer scientists introduce new graphics software Sophisticated geometric matching, machine learning mimic humans' perception of style, giving users powerful new tools to compare the style similarity of 3-D objects Source:  University of Massachusetts at Amherst   Summary: Computer scientists unveiled a new software modeling program that uses sophisticated geometric matching and machine learning to mimic humans' perception of style, giving users powerful new tools to compare the style similarity of 3-D objects The new first-of-its-kind structure-transcending software can benefit several computer graphics applications, researchers say. FULL STORY As the researchers explain, humans can perceive stylistic similarity between objects that transcends structure and function. For example, we can see a common style such as Danish modern' in both a table and chair, though they have different structures. Until now, machines have found it difficult to do t...

Intel executives depart company as mobile, IoT segments struggle for growth.

Intel executives depart company as mobile, IoT segments struggle for growth. Intel suffers turnover like any company, but its upper echelons aren’t known for being a revolving door. That’s changed in recent weeks with the (unconfirmed) departure of Aicha Evans, who joined the company in July to head its mobile semiconductor division. Now, longtime veterans Kirk Skaugen and Doug Davis are both leaving as well. Skaugen was a senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s client group, while Davis is a senior VP and general manager of the Internet of Things division. Skaugen is leaving immediately, while Davis has pledged to stay on through the end of 2016. These departures all occurred just a few months after Intel hired former Qualcomm executive Dr. Venkata “Murthy” Renduchintala, president of the Client and Internet of Things (IoT) Businesses and Systems Architecture Group. We don’t talk much about Intel’s market position because the company is fundam...

Short Intro about "Macintosh"

Short Intro about "Macintosh" The  Macintosh  ( / ˈ m æ k ᵻ n t ɒ ʃ /   mak -in-tosh ; (branded as  Mac  since 1998) is a series of  personal computers  (PCs) designed, developed, and marketed by  Apple Inc.   Steve Jobs  introduced the  original Macintosh  computer on January 10, 1984. This was the company's first mass-market personal computer featuring an integral  graphical user interface  and  mouse . [1]  This first model was later renamed to "Macintosh 128k" for uniqueness amongst a populous family of subsequently updated models which are also based on Apple's same  proprietary  architecture. Since 1998, Apple has largely phased out the Macintosh name in favor of "Mac", though the product family has been nicknamed "Mac" or "the Mac" since the development of the first model. The Macintosh, however, was expensive, which hindered its ability to be competitive in a market already dominat...
