IBM intros next

Summary: IBM boasted it took more than three years of development -- not to mention $2.4 billion in investment -- as well as 'hundreds' of patents to produce Power8.



IBM has introduced the next generation of its Power Systems architecture and servers for crunching unstructured big data from sensors and mobile devices.


Power8, the code name for the new family consisting of both a new microprocessor as well as lineup of servers, is touted to be able to analyze big data up to 50 times faster than commodity servers.


Unveiled during a media presentation on Wednesday morning, IBM's Power portfolio has been pegged as the 'cornerstone' of the tech giant's OpenPOWER Foundation for promoting open technologies for powering data datacenters.


The Foundation has blossomed to encompass 25 global technology providers to date, including Google and Nvidia.


After establishing itself last December for the sharing of best practices as well as intellectual property, the collective revealed its first roadmap, which starts with making IBM Power hardware and software available for open development as well as making the platform's IP available for licensing to other manufacturers.


Nvidia, for example, has already implemented Power solutions with its own GPU portfolio and accelerator framework for Java, which the processor giant revealed already gave way to up to eight times better performance on Hadoop Analytics applications.


Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix have also mentioned plans to utilize open Power technology within their respective memory and storage products.


Built on an open server model itself, Power8 also includes IBM's new Power Systems S Class servers, designed specifically for scale-out cloud computing environments.


Big Blue boasted it took more than three years of development -- not to mention $2.4 billion in investment -- as well as 'hundreds' of patents to produce Power8.


Making good on a previous $1 billion investment announced last year, IBM followed up with a pair of Linux-focused developments, starting with making Canonical's Ubuntu Server available on all POWER8 systems. IBM also introduced PowerKVM, a Power Systems version of the Linux-based virtualization tool KVM.

The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget. Some leaked photos of iPhone 5S prototype show that it does not differ from its predecessor at all. Therefore, all hopes for something radically new in design and features are laid on iPhone 6.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
