Multi-million user social networks, cloud hosting, Internet search and Big Data problems such as meteorology, complex physics and business informatics, all share one basic need - they each require incredibly large, complex and varied computer platforms. However, a common requirement across these systems is to "optimize the unit cost of computing." At this degree of hyperscale computing, the network, system, software, facility, and maintenance all add up to 10s or 100s of millions of dollars per project, and optimizations of a single element or the coordination of multiple elements can save the business millions. A good example of this holistic approach is Facebook's OpenCompute project, which saved the company 38% in efficiency and costs 24% less in build expense.
Similar to the automobile industry, where the racing technology from Indy, F1, and NASCAR end up in passenger vehicles, the hyperscale compute innovations we're seeing in juggernauts like Facebook will end up as line-item part numbers from vendors that are available to everyone. The timing couldn't be better, as solid state hard drives are becoming affordable and most enterprises are ramping up private cloud initiatives within their firms.
In a hyperscale design, premium computing constructs (like those seen in blade systems) are normally abandoned, favoring stripped down commodity designs that do the job at a fraction of the price. Because of the size of the deployment, rewriting an application to take advantage of the commodity compute fabric, or moving a task that was done in purpose-built hardware into custom software (e.g., disaster fault recovery), becomes cost-effective. Essentially, the decreased investment in hardware funds the software investments with ease. So what design elements are being abandoned in favor of hyperscale computing?
An example of the complex monolithic system that is being abandoned
- Premium storage array networks with expensive optical connectivity and recovery features are being replaced with a mix of locally attached and network-attached storage, eliminating the heavy burden on the storage network
- Dedicated compute, manage and storage networks are being replaced, favoring virtual LANs that reduce cabling and network costs
- High cost per port network switching is being replaced, favoring commodity network components
- High cost per socket blade systems are being replaced, favoring commodity compute components
- Devices for monitoring and management are being replaced, favoring software tools and thoughtfully architected applications
- Hot-swappable devices for high availability are being replaced, favoring streamlined hardware configuration
- Redundant power supplies are being eliminated
The best visualization for this kind of unit cost of computing design is the Google Platform from 1998 that integrated individual parts without the purchase of machine cases.
Previously, creating the best optimized hyperscale compute fabric meant that a full staff of hardware/network/applications/systems/facilities engineers was needed to drive out the costs. Today, there are firms that are using hyperscale designs to create private cloud solutions affordable for small to medium-sized business markets or for business units in large firms. Companies working in this space aim to create the highest performance per IOP private cloud solution, delivering highly scalable infrastructure solutions.
Ideally, this architecture comes in the form of a single unit that uses converged networking, a mix of local and network-attached storage, and management software included in a small form factor. There are a handful of innovative vendors offering these solutions today. Customers adopting this type of solution enjoy an extremely low-cost commitment as a minimally configured system is capable of running a base level of virtual machines in a private and dedicated system with the potential to scale as needed. Hyperscale designs also work well in large-scale deployments, where 100,000s of virtual machines are being run.
The mid-scale cloud market, comprised of 10,000s of virtual machines, is also an interesting space. Currently, mid-market integrated private cloud offerings require large upfront costs and ongoing operational costs for dedicated staff to manage and maintain the complicated compute, storage, and networking, in addition to the expensive per socket and port hardware. Buyers in this space should certainly be asking vendors the cost per VM and the cost per terabyte of storage before they purchase, as well as determining the skills that are required to maintain an infrastructure of that kind. At this point, the mid-scale solutions look obsolete, as evolving hyperscale formats require lower cost commitments, and deliver high price performance coupled with compute, network and storage cooperation.
When discussing application considerations, hyperscale architecture is a natural platform for applications designed to leverage its key features - horizontal scalability (for high throughput and increased performance), and redundancy (for high availability and fault tolerance). Earlier hyperscale architectures, as mentioned earlier, took a different approach toward performance and reliability. Data access performance and high availability relied on premium storage array networks with expensive optical connectivity and recovery features. Compute performance relied on a high cost per socket blade system and high cost per port network switches.
The service orientation and "assumed failure" approach to cloud applications puts the burden of performance and reliability assurance on the application architecture. By constructing applications as a collection of loosely coupled services, greater performance can be achieved by distributing and replicating services horizontally across commodity compute, network, and storage components. High availability can also be achieved in a similar fashion by replicating application services across the hyperscale environment and introducing a failover mechanism to mirrored services upon service failure detection.
It's important to note several additional benefits achieved by this synergy between the hyperscale architecture and applications designed to leverage it. From a performance standpoint, system monitoring software can easily be configured to detect business policy-driven performance thresholds and automatically scale or contract services based on such policies. A similar strategy can be established for high availability policies. Should the number of redundant backup services fall below a certain threshold, additional backup services can be launched before any danger of service disruption is reached. Without going into exhaustive detail, it's clear that another hyperscale benefit is the ease in which applications and platform components can be patched and replaced without service disruption. Finally, the same mechanism by which patches are applied and platforms are replaced makes it easy to test and launch new features in line with the company's business strategy.
In conclusion, organizations across a wide variety of markets require robust servers with high density performance at an affordable entry price for all levels of businesses. A hyperscale architecture combined with well-designed applications provides enterprises with a powerful tool to operate an agile business, staying ahead of the competition and exploiting new business opportunities to its advantage.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Last we heard from Estelle, the UK soul songstress was expressing her deep and abiding feelings for her man on Till Tomorrow, a June 2013 single off volume one in her Love and Happiness EP series. The Home School/Atlantic signee's latest feature, by contrast, finds her less concerned with eternal love than with getting off in the here and now. On Make Her Say (Beat It Up), the artist adopts a sultry spoken-word delivery as she instructs her man on how to please her between the sheets. An unknown beatsmith's minimal production, incorporating tongue-click percussion and a variety of eclectic vocal samples, accompanies her bold and assertive come-ons. Feeling it? More awaits on Estelle's Love & Happiness Vol. 3: How Stella Got Her Groove Back EP, dropping at an as-yet undetermined date in the near future.

Am I a machine with out feelings? Do you think that because I am poor, plain, obscure, and little that I am soulless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. And if God had possessed me with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for you to leave me as I to leave you… I'm not speaking to you through mortal flesh. It is my spirit that addresses your spirit, as it passes through the grave and stood at God's feet equal. As we are.

Ryan Hall drops out of NYC marathon
Sep 10, 2012, 12:05 PM EDT
The fastest marathoner in American history, Ryan Hall, spent Monday morning doing what he does best: disappointing everyone.
Following his failure to make it to the twelfth mile of the London Olympics marathon before grabbing his thigh and pulling out of the race, the California native has officially dropped out of November's New York City Marathon, too, according to Velonews.com.
"I was hoping that after some time off and treatment after the Games, the string of nagging injuries I've been dealing with this year would be behind me," Hall said. "After trying to run through, I came to the realization when keeping the big picture in mind, that I needed to take a longer break to let things heal and not rush the training. "
Hall became the first American to break the 2 hours 5 minutes mark in 2011 and has finished in the top-4 of the Boston marathon three times, but he's never won an international event and, at 29, London was likely his best chance at medaling. Maybe it's time he moved on to Reality TV.

(from Gulfstream Park notes)
Frisky Spider's seven-furlong workout in preparation for Saturday's $250,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) for 3-year-olds at Gulfstream Park had trainer Bob Durso excited Sunday morning.Clockers caught the son of Frisk Me Now in 1:28 over a fast track. Durso proclaimed himself happy with the drill and the easy way Frisky Spider moved. He said he was confident going into next weekend's pivotal step on the road to the Florida Derby (gr. I), making comparisons to Frisky Spider's sire, a winner of several stakes under Durso's care starting in 1996."By this time Frisk Me Now had raced about seven times," said Durso. "That one was a little slower to come around and show us what he had. This one has been with it from the first time he ran. It's been a lot easier."Frisky Spider has won all three of his starts so far including a pair of allowance victories last month. He now moves into a showdown with Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III) winner Second of June, whose performance in that race earned high marks and high figures. Durso felt slighted that Frisky Spider had not earned such big figures after his races. "I can't knock any horse, especially one like him, but I just can't see how he earned a 108 Beyer (Speed Figure)," said Durso. "He won going away, but I look at the horses behind him and I'm not that impressed. If I'd been in a race with him that day, I'd have been five in front and he'd have had to come catch me."Durso said Frisky Spider galloped out a mile in 1:42 4/5 Sunday.

Genres: Horror, Remake, Thriller
Program Synopsis
Remake of the 1973 television movie about a young woman who investigates her sister's apparent suicide, which leads her into a dangerous web of deception at an eastern women's college. Beth Hammersmith is distraught and puzzled by the suicide of her sister.

Title: Decline of non-native weeping willow
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Breckenridge, Texas and last year I planted a Weeping Willow tree on my property. It grew fine and seemed to be very healthy until this month. All of a sudden it has steadily lost all its leaves. They just gradually fell off from the tips of the branches on back to the trunk. I cannot find anything wrong with it, no dryness, no insects or anything I can identify. Can you give me some suggestions as to what I might try to help save this tree? Thanks for your time.
It sounds like transplant shock, from your description, even though the tree has been in the ground a year. A tree may go perfectly in a site, but is still going to need some coddling for the first year or so it is in the ground. Texas is having an excessively hot, dry Spring and early Summer, and weeping willows are considered water trees. I hope you have a hose that reaches that far; otherwise, you're going to be hauling buckets of water. You will need to monitor the moisture in the soil very closely, and drip water slowly from a hose stuck down in the soil around the roots.
Although there are 54 members of the Salix genus that are natives to North America, the weeping willow, or salix x sepulcralis, is not one of them. It is a hybrid of the Chinese Peking Willow and European white willow. This USDA Forest Service website has some more information on the weeping willow, including the fact that it is considered invasive in several states, and they don't show it growing at all in Texas. But what do they know? The same site says that the tree is susceptible to several diseases and insect damage, so, hopefully, your tree didn't come with some problem that is now emerging. We also found an ad for a "Texas weeping willow" which may be what you have, but it didn't give the Latin name for the tree, so we have no idea what that is. Here is a page of images of salix x sepulcralis.
Since the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the planting, protection and propagation of plants native to North America, we don't have any information on this tree in our Native Plant Database. Hopefully, watering as we recommended will perk your tree up. If you feel there may be a disease or pest problem, you might contact the Texas A&M AgriLIFE Extension Office for Stephens County. This website has contact information, phone numbers and instructions for finding the office. Sometimes being on the scene and able to examine a plant "in person" can detect a problem that we, at a distance, cannot.

Time to drive the Living Wage forward, Miliband calls for better pay for millions
Related Articles
Published: 05 November 2012
Labour leader Ed
Miliband will today vow to address Britain's "living standards
crisis" by delivering a living wage of at least £7.20 per hour to millions
of people in the public and private sector.
Mr Miliband will meet with the leaders of Labour local authorities across the UK who are already implementing the pay structure and promise to find ways to help other businesses become living-wage employers.
He is expected to say: "There are almost five million people in Britain who aren't earning the living wage; people who got up early this morning, spent hours getting to work - who are putting in all the effort they can - but who often don't get paid enough to look after their families, to heat their homes, feed their kids, care for elderly relatives and plan for the future.
"Too many people in Britain are doing the right thing and doing their bit, helping to build the prosperity on which our country depends, but aren't sharing fairly in the rewards.
"It's not how it should be in Britain, it's not how we will succeed as a country in the years ahead because we can't go on with an economy that works for a few at the top and not for most people.
"We need to change it."
He will continue: "This Government is stuck in the old mindset: saying nothing can be done and making it worse with tax cuts for millionaires and tax rises for everyone else.
"It is only a Labour government that will address the living standards crisis faced by so many.
"Even when money is tight and Britain is run by a Tory-led government, Labour councils have been driving the living wage forward. First in London and now across Britain.
"There are already scores of British businesses who are saying that the living wage makes sense for them because it improves staff retention and reduces absence rates.
"We will learn from them and find ways to help other businesses become living-wage employers."
The wage - the minimum hourly rate needed for an acceptable standard of living - is a key plank of Mr Miliband's "One Nation" vision to share prosperity and has the backing of his brother David.
As part of its policy review, Labour is looking at three ways of making the pay terms the new norm, including naming and shaming listed companies who do not pay the wage through corporate governance rules.
It is also considering introducing rules that will see Whitehall contracts awarded to firms who pay workers the living wage or above and giving Treasury-funded incentives to companies who introduce the wage structure.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that for every person moved on to the living wage, the Treasury would save about £1,000 from less spending on tax credits and from increased tax revenue.
A number of major firms already pay workers and contractors a living wage - which stands at £8.30 an hour in London - or higher.
Barclays has paid the living wage in London since 2007 while 19 local authorities have been accredited as "living-wage employers".

Sony launches web-based Reader Store and Android app
June 7, 2012 | 9:24 am
By Paul Biba
From the Sony Blog:
Hey book lovers! In our mission to continue to offer the best reading experience, the Reader™ Store is happy to announce a new web-based Reader Store and Android™ Reader App, giving you more freedom to read the content you love, anytime and anywhere.
Our new web-based Reader Store now allows you to access your Reader Store account from any web browser, and sign in and purchase content without having to install any software to your computer.¹ The web store officially supports the latest browsers on Windows® and Mac®, including Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Chrome™ and Firefox®.
Now you can discover your next story and buy it whenever it is convenient for you, and any eBook you buy from a web browser will be waiting for you on your Reader App or wireless device. It is that easy. Reader Store eBooks work with any Adobe® DRM supported app or device, so you can download and read content in a number of new ways, including on some other non-Sony® devices (although we think the Reader Apps and devices are the best!). You can start now at ebookstore.sony.com.
We also have launched a new update for the Android Reader App, now available for download at Google Play™. Reader by Sony offers the same user-friendly reading experience we have always offered, but with some nice improvements: the Reader App now also features a sharper user interface, landscape viewing capabilities and an overall improved stability.
So, give both our new web store and Android Reader App a shot and let us know what you think, and, as always, happy reading!

Yay! Only took them four years to catch up to every other e-bookseller!
Now where is the web reader like Amazon & Kobo have. Plus, where is the iOS app?
Too little too late I say.
Ahh, Sony, you lumbering beast. In addition to the missing cloud reader and iOS app, I'd like to see them get competitive on pricing. Too many times their book price is just a touch higher than B&N or Kobo. I suspect they tack on the Adobe content management fee to their prices, rather than treat it as a cost of doing business.
Another way they could be competitive is to offer discounts on non-agency books, like Kobo does.
Too bad, as their T1 has the best library integration of any e-Ink device out there right now. I'd like to reward them with sales on the books I do buy.

SNA Is Doing Well For Vintage Intel Hardware
Published on 02 June 2012 07:58 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
While not yet the default means of 2D acceleration for the Intel driver, the SNA architecture is even reportedly performing well -- better than UXA -- for the old Intel 855.
Sandy Bridge New Acceleration
(SNA) has had an interesting history over the past year and while it's not yet turned on by default, it's performing very well. While the name implies it is for "Sandy Bridge", the 2D acceleration architecture has support for pre- and post- Sandy Bridge Intel graphics processors.
Chris Wilson of Intel's Open-Source Technology Center shared some new Cairo benchmarks on
his personal blog
of using an Intel 855GM with a Pentium III mobile processor. The results are surprisingly positive for SNA and better than the default UXA. This is good news should you unfortunately be stuck with this very old second-generation Intel integrated graphics processor.
For those using the more pleasant Sandy Bridge hardware, a few weeks back I posted
benchmarks comparing SNA vs. UXA vs. GLAMOR
. Coming up soon will be the same comparison but with the latest-generation Ivy Bridge graphics.

Opinion: Looking forward to a future Internet
Going into last month the future of the Internet, to borrow a phrase from the great film noir movie "A Touch of Evil," looked like it may have been all used up. The feeling of the traditional telephone folk and controlling governments was that the Internet had done just about enough of this changing the future stuff -- thanks very much -- now it was time for a bit of control. But the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai did not turn out quite the way that those who would control the Internet wanted. Nor, did the WCIT turn out quite the way that those of us who wanted a more hands-off future would have liked.
