A Real Programmer can write a FORTRAN program in any Language. (From the WEB) |

A REAL programmer would use COBOL.... and vi as their development environment. Yes, and nroff/troff as text formatter, Emacs as word processor (I have used all of them). Tullio |

Things change fast in the IT world. Once I botched a possible career in IBM by saying that I wanted to use UNIX. Nah, they said, that is only for students... Tullio |

At 44 years of age, after a family separation, I had found a position in a high tech industry in Genoa. Not knowing anything about computers (no computers at my alma mater) I asked to follow a course on PL/1, which convinced me that I was a dog too old to learn new tricks. Then, after one year, I came back to Milano and found a position as a documentation manager for the Systems Division of SGS (now ST Microelectronics) in Agrate. There somebody gave me a copy of the \"white book\" and I started to learn C on a Onyx computer with UNIX version 7. I printed all its documentation using nroff/troff on a Olivetti dot matrix printer. But I still don\'t know PL/1. Tullio |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E96Dd415LMw You have sharp eyes (:-)) Yes, we are working hard on running some \"real physics\" applications for LHC. No precise dates yet for production but early testing is beginning. We will demo what we have in prototype at the BOINC Workshop next week in London. Ben Segal |

Thats awesome, an excellent work around to link BOINC to the Cern LHC OS. I hope that LHC can get some huge teraflops from the community. |

OMG Finaly it comes to a good end. Now only the Duke have to come back and the world would be a better place D: |

I RECEIVED SOME WORK UNITS TODAY. SOME WERE 40 TO 50 MINUTES LONG AND A FEW 1 HOUR LONG. |

In the meantime I have been busy developing Out of curiosity, does this involve Kahan-Babuška Summation related algorithms (see e.g. http://cage.ugent.be/~klein/papers/floating-point.pdf)? Aside from that, of course it's important to avoid catastrophic cancellation (e.g. use (x+y)*(x-y) instead of x²-y²). |

It would be good for BigMac to post his comments to the front page news. Also, the back end server need some major upgrading. All th eposts have multiple \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\all over and the look of the site is very antiquated. Let's crunch for our future. |
