DESCRIPTION:My goodness. Summer is here already! How is it I've just today
noticed my first fireworks stand of the holiday season? Time to slow down a

on the patio of the Green Dragon. Casual Friday style\, yo.\n\nNext week\,
however\, it's time for some fun. July 10th we've brought back by popular
demand What the Shit\, @melissalion's heelarious Dramatic Twitter Reading S
eries. I lamed out last time\, but this time I've already got a couple of g
ood tweets to orate. Time to put those high school theatre skills to use. B
ONUS: AboutUs is having it's anniversary party at Beer and Blog and wants t
o share the love in the way of beer. For the Beer and Bloggers. Yay! Stay t
uned for more info.\n\nAnd finally\, while I've got your attention\, I'd li
ke to announce a date change for the hugely successful End Bloglessness. Ag
ain. (Long story.) BUT THIS TIME WE MEAN IT. On July 18th\, Beer and Blog p
roudly continue its collective efforts to put an End to Bloglessness. We fe
el everyone should be polluting the Internet with our hopes\, opinions\, ra
nts\, and obsessions\, not to mention hocking the Next Big Thing. Held at W

SUMMARY:Galois Talk: The Fleet Architecture by Ivar Sutherland
CREATED:20090703T013359
LAST-MODIFIED:20090703T013359
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk describes a radically different architectur
e for computing called Fleet. Fleet accepts the limitations to computing im
posed by physics: moving data around inside a computer costs more energy\,
more delay\, and more chip area than the arithmetic and logical operations
ordinarily called “computing.” Fleet puts the programmer firmly in charge o
f the most costly resource\, communication\, instead of in charge of the ar
ithmetic and logical resources that are now almost free. Fleet treats arith
metic and logical operations as side effects of where the programmer sends
data.\n\nFleet achieves high performance through fine grain concurrency. Ev
erything Fleet does is concurrent at the lowest level\; programmers who wis
h sequentiality must program it explicitly. Fleet presents a stark contrast
to today’s multi-core machines in which programmers seek concurrency in an
inherently sequential environment.\n\nThe Fleet architecture uses a unifor
m switch fabric to simplify chip design. A few thousand identical copies of
a programmable interface connect a thousand or so repetitions of basic ari
thmetic\, logical\, input-output\, and storage units to the switch fabric.
The uniform switch fabric and its identical programmable interfaces replace
many of the hard parts of designing the computing elements themselves.\n\n
Both software and FPGA simulators of a Fleet system are available at UC Ber
keley. Berkeley students have written a variety of Fleet programs\; their w
ork helped to define what the programmable interface between computing and
communication must do. A simple compiler now produces the programs required
at source and destination to provide flow-controlled communication. We exp
ect work on a higher-level language to appear soon as a PhD dissertation.\n
\nA recent 90 nanometer TSMC test chip\, called Infinity\, demonstrated swi
tch fabric performance at about 4 GHz. A new test chip\, called Marina\, ha
s just gone out for fabrication. Marina will test the programmable interfac
e\, and if successful\, will give us confidence to build a complete Fleet.
We seek participation from sponsors\, programmers\, and designers of basic
computation elements.\n\nBio: Ivan Sutherland is a Visiting Scientist at Po
rtland State University where he and Marly Roncken have recently establishe
d the “Asynchronous Research Center” (ARC). The ARC occupies both physical
and intellectual space half way between the Computer Science (CS) and Elect
rical and Computer Engineering (ECE) departments at the university. The ARC
seeks to free designers from the tyranny of the clock by developing better
tools and teaching methods for design of self-timed systems. Prior to movi
ng to Portland\, Ivan spent 25 years as a Fellow and Vice President at Sun
Microsystems. A graduate of Carnegie Tech\, Ivan got his PhD at MIT in 1963
and has taught at Harvard\, University of Utah\, and Caltech.\n\nDr. Suthe
rland received the 1998 Turing Award\, for his pioneering work in the field
of computer graphics.

SUMMARY:Linux Plumbers Conf 2009
CREATED:20090327T072321
LAST-MODIFIED:20090327T072321
DESCRIPTION:The Linux Plumbers Conference is primarily a developers confere
nce - with the goal of getting key developers together to discuss issues fa
ce to face. For a description of our goals\, see this post on What is Linux
Plumbing?. Thus the conference program mostly consists of microconferences
addressing a particular topic or subsystem issue. Microconferences are ses
sions of approximately two and a half hours with several individuals giving
brief presentations or demos and driving discussion. Microconferences will
be run by a “runner” who selects speakers and moderates the discussion. N
ote that the microconference format does not preclude individual speakers g
iving more traditional\, longer formal presentations on topics of interest.
