NEC Display Solutions announced today that they are partnering with Hiperwall for our software to power high-resolution display walls (sorry, I can’t stand the more limiting term “video walls”). For more information, read their press release.
Looking North towards the LA Basin on a nice, warm day during my morning commute today.
I just installed a really nifty WordPress plugin called WPtouch. If you are reading this on a normal PC, Mac, or Linux browser or even an iPad, you won’t see any difference. If, however, you look at the site on an iPhone or other smartphone, you’ll see a friendly mobile interface that takes less time…
I’ve been intrigued with low-power Intel Atom + NVIDIA Ion combinations for a while now and have recently put together a little net-top computer with a 1.8GHz Atom (dual-core + Hyperthreading) paired with an Ion2 plus 4GB RAM and the hard disk left over after I upgraded my PS3’s drive. The unit is a very…
The HIPerWall system was a pretty impressive collection of hardware for 2005, with 50 processors (more were added later), 50 GB of RAM, more that 10 TB of storage (we got a gift of 5TB worth of drives for our RAID system from Western Digital), and 50 of the nicest monitors available, but it was…

I…
Kudos to Skype for adding new settings in their latest iPhone app that should address some of my earlier complaints. It looks like the app can be set to sign out of Skype immediately or after a delay when it is put in the background. This means the power drain should go away. Of course,…
Apple was late to the multitasking party with the iPhone. The reason Steve Jobs kept giving is that multitasking allows apps to run in the background and drain the battery and that nobody really has come up with a good way to fix that. For iOS 4, Apple defined a strict set of criteria for…
Reposted from my Asymmetric Computing blog. For those of us interested in GPU computing, Greg Pfister has written an interesting article entitled “Nvidia-based Cheap Supercomputing Coming to an End” commenting on the future of NVIDIA’s supercomputing technology that has been subsidized by gamers and commodity GPUs. It looks like Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture may end…
I added a description of Hiperwall.
