IBM Big Data for Oil and Gas Enhancing exploration and production with big data in oil & gas In the oil and gas industry, organizations must apply new technologies and processes that will capture and transform raw data into actionable insight to improve asset value and yield while enhancing safety and protecting the environment. Well and field operations are instrumented to capture a holistic view of equipment performance and well productivity data including reservoir, well, facilities and export data. Leading, analytics-driven oil and gas organizations are connecting people with trusted information to predict business outcomes, and to make real-time decisions that help them outperform their competitors. But for many, these breakaway results remain out of reach.

Part Sixty-Six Of The Best Ways To Create Online Content Easily & Quickly Here’s the latest installment in my series on The Best Ways To Create Online Content Easily & Quickly. As you may remember, in order to make it on this list, the web tool has to: * be easily accessible to English Language Learners and/or non-tech savvy computer users. AWS Management Console With Resource Groups, you can view collections of resources that share common tags. Streamline your use of the console by creating a resource group for each application, service, or collection of related resources that you work with regularly. Quickly navigate to each saved resource group using the “AWS” menu. 10 Million hits a day with Wordpress using a $15 server [Update 2] – It seems W3 Total Cache support has been silently discontinued – it’s not been updated for over 12 months now, and has allegedly got some security issues. Because of this, I would recommend not installing W3 Total Cache as part of these instructions, everything else should run fine. [/Update]

What is Chef? - Chef - Opscode Open Source Wiki Chef is a systems and cloud infrastructure automation framework that makes it easy to deploy servers and applications to any physical, virtual, or cloud location, no matter the size of the infrastructure. The chef-client relies on abstract definitions (known as cookbooks and recipes) that are written in Ruby and are managed like source code. Each definition describes how a specific part of your infrastructure should be built and managed. The chef-client then applies those definitions to servers and applications, as specified, resulting in a fully automated infrastructure. When a new node is brought online, the only thing the chef-client needs to know is which cookbooks and recipes to apply. The following diagram shows the relationships between the various elements of Chef, including the nodes, the server, and the workstations.

Top Big Data Executives and Experts to Follow on Twitter - CEOWORLD To recognize and learn more about big data technologies and architecture, vendor developments in the big data and analytics industry, and numerous technical challenges. I have decided to compile a list of the Most Influential Voices in Big Data and Quantitative Analytics Arena. And what they think are their biggest challenges when implementing big data in their storage environments. In our research, some influential Big Data and Analytics Experts are not included in this list, either because they don’t have active Twitter accounts, or they only tweet about big data sporadically.

Top 20 Sites-Apps for Creating Timelines A while back I created a list of top 10 sites for creating timelines. Well, since that time mobile learning has really integrated into education and apps have been developed to accomplish this task. I've created a new list combined w/ apps & sites that are ideal for creating timelines. *Definition - "A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in chronological order, sometimes described as a project artifact. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) - Scalable Cloud Hosting Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use.

The “Unhyped” New Areas in Internet and Mobile Editor’s note: Legendary investor Vinod Khosla is the founder of Khosla Ventures. You can follow him on Twitter at @vkhosla. All Khosla Ventures investments, as well as ventures related to Vinod Khosla, are italicized. We are in a whole new world of platforms, a post-PC era, which I’d more aptly describe as the always/everywhere era, finally, and that means a whole new set of opportunities. Add to it the fact that because of a variety of factors too numerous to cover here, the cost of experimentation has gone down dramatically (one can start a web startup or write an Android app with no more than a student credit card!) Identify Java code consuming high CPU in Linux (linking JVM thread and Linux PID) We can easily identify a problematic java code which leads to high CPU utilization in Linux. Let me explain the steps with the following example, package test; public class ThreadDumpTest { public void test(){ for (int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++) { Thread th=new Thread(new TR(i)); th.setName(“MyThread-”+(1000+i)); th.start(); } } public static void main(String[] args) { ThreadDumpTest t=new ThreadDumpTest(); t.test(); } private class TR implements Runnable{ int ins=0; TR(int i){ ins=i; } public void run(){ while (true) { if(ins!=5) { try { Thread.sleep(10000); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } } } In the above example, all the threads are in while loop.
