Ethernet and Data Gathering for HPC. Figure 1: HPC Justification for Higher Speed Ethernet Beyond 10 GbEIn my 15 or so years leading the charge for Ethernet into higher speeds “high performance computing” and “research and development” have always been two areas that the industry could count on where higher speeds would be needed for its networking applications. For example, during the incarnation of the IEEE 802.3 Higher Speed Ethernet Study Group that looked beyond 10GbE, and ultimately defined the 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet project, Figure 1 tracked the average processing against the prior introductions of new rates of Ethernet. For “research and development” a number of key areas were identified as needing terabit capacities from an end-to-end perspective, such as high energy physics, climate, nanoscience, fusion energy, astrophysics, and genomics data and computation.[1] Before I answer that question, I would like to diverge for a moment and reflect on my experience in the Ethernet community.

Telecom News & Articles. Winning Google's Little Box Challenge Will Take a 'Holistic Approach' Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) are offering a US $1 million prize to anyone who can design a power inverter that is about 10 times smaller than what is available today. The Little Box Challenge calls upon those with “a healthy disregard for the perceived limits of engineering” to design a kilowatt-scale inverter with the highest power density possible (at least 50 watts per cubic inch, or about 3 watts per cubic centimeter).

Google will pony up the cash while IEEE (which publishes IEEE Spectrum) has generated the specifications for the competition and will participate in judging, says Don Tan, president of IEEE’s Power Electronics Society (PELS). He adds that shrinking and improving the power electronics in today's inverters could have tremendous benefits for society.

Tan says there are various ways to approach the challenge, and any breakthrough in power density will likely take innovation in both design and materials.

You know the formula: valuable content = influence = social reach = traffic = more reach… and so on. But do you know the secret to great content? As marketers, we often look for the next big tool to differentiate ourselves. But did you know the most powerful content-creative tool was invented long before social media?

It doesn’t involve keeping a Kodak Zi8 in your pocket, either. And you don’t need a fancy new Twitter strategy or some snazzy FBML. The most powerful content tool is also the oldest. Your Content Advantage: The Interview Yes, the interview. Interview-based content is valuable to your readers and more likely to be shared. Famous rocker Glenn Danzig once said, “unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.” Interviews can be recrafted into unique blog posts. Here are 11 lines of questioning you can use to extract great material: #1: Informational Post.

Most of our web content writing services involve one of the following: Landing pages – Involves writing content like you see on our home, about and services pages.

They should have distinct calls to action, include the SEO keywords you're trying to target and be somewhere in the range of 250-450 words long (depending on the design of the site). The purpose of landing pages is to convert browsers to buyers, and having amazing content can make a huge difference in your conversion rates. So, how much does all this web content writing cost? How much do landing pages cost? From the forum: About A Writer's Time by Kenneth Atchity - The Story Merchant.

The advice in this book draws from the problems that writers have presented in individual consultations, private and university classes, and development meetings--as well as from my own experience as writer, editor, publisher, and independent producer. The system described in A Writer's Time has helped thousands of writers, from beginners to hardened professionals, to overcome problems at one stage or another of their professional careers. The system isn't based on preconceived or philosophical notions about what writing ought to be though it reflects my lifelong interest in the way the imagination works through myth and story.

A Writer's Time has little to do with romantic concepts of the suffering writer. Neither is it based on my belief in myself as a writer. It's hard to think of yourself that way, especially if you're spelling "writer" with a capital W. A writer, after all, is only a person who loves writing, and believes in it strongly enough to want to do it well. Connections. DailyWorth - Financial and Career Advice for Women - DailyWorth.com. Chat with Katharine Brooks, Author of "You Majored in What?!" | Ms. Career Girl. Today I had the chance to chat with the author of one of my favorite career books for college students and graduating seniors. Katharine Brooks is the author of “You Majored in What?!” And the Director of Liberal Arts Career Services at The University of Texas at Austin. If you haven’t picked up this book yet, please do. Whether you are struggling to find a job, are unsure of what you want to “do” after college or have a case of the post-college blues this book is relevant.

What inspired you to write, “You Majored in What?” As a liberal arts major myself I loved my education but was never quite sure how it “fit” in the workplace. Give us a brief explanation of chaos theory. Chaos theory grew out of an effort to improve our ability to predict the weather. In a tough economy, how should students change their job search strategy? I think you have to be more vigilant. How do you recommend students handle the common and irritating question, “What are you going to do with THAT major?!”

How to Change Your Beliefs and Stick to Your Goals for Good. In one of my very first articles, I discussed a concept called identity-based habits. The basic idea is that the beliefs you have about yourself can drive your long-term behavior. Maybe you can trick yourself into going to the gym or eating healthy once or twice, but if you don’t shift your underlying identity, then it’s hard to stick with long-term changes. Most people start by focusing on performance and appearance-based goals like “I want to lose 20 pounds” or “I want to write a best-selling book.” But these are surface level changes. The root of behavior change and building better habits is your identity.

Each action you perform is driven by the fundamental belief that it is possible. This brings us to an interesting question. How to Change Your Beliefs The only way I know to shift the beliefs that you have about yourself and to build a stronger identity is to cast a vote for that identity with many, tiny actions. Think of it this way… Of course, it works the opposite way as well. The LASER-FOCUS way of assessing yourself (Free assessment templates inside!) | F.A.B. Mess. Everyone hates that word. Don’t want your desk to be a mess, don’t want your work to be a mess, don’t want your thoughts to be a mess.

So now your problem seems huge and daunting. If you have been in this situation you know very well that this question never gets its answer and you simply move on with life. This will never happen to you again because I am giving you a set of ready-made templates that will help you pinpoint the exact problem areas in all categories of your growth and development.

Assume a wheel with ‘n’ number of spokes. Try working on it. Contrast the left wheel with the right. 1. Good Luck! Hi!
