I was a heavy user of the Cray-1, Cray-XMP and Cray-2 at the magnetic fusion computing center at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. One of the important things to remember was that the Crays of this generation were vector processors, that is

The traditional lecture does have a lot of value, however, we are also quite certain that the instructional experience can be improved through the addition of visualizations and simulations. This is especially true for interactive visualiza

Yep - multiple representations, and interactivity, for the win. It is incumbent on the instructional designers and teachers to construct a process where the learner actually learns the concepts rather than learning processes and using compu

It is also useful to keep track of entries in a vulnerability database for some of the more "enterprisy" dependencies https://nvd.nist.gov/ Running a pen test against web apps can also be educational and amusing.

One of my favorites was to open the frame buffer on a Unix workstation, then logout leaving a background job running. A little after someone logged in, the code would do something cute, like draw a crack on the screen. I once saw the guy ne

Another option, also supported from within MATLAB is GPU computing, that is running the code on the GPU rather than on the CPU. https://www.mathworks.com/solutions/gpu-computing.html This works very well, but only fo

No, WebGL is not a 2D API. Neither is its predecessor, OpenGL. This comment from the article is particularly misleading. > OpenGL is at its essence a 2D API. The vertex shader accepts something as input and it produces 2D vertices in de
