PGI's Fortran compiler, bought by NVidia a few years ago, has excellent GPU extensions. You set an attribute on an array, move stuff on there, do your computation, move stuff back. It was the easiest GPU coding experience I've had

PCem shines for emulating all the old hardware required to run old operating systems that were not DOS. VirtualBox and VMWare do not work will for this since they usually since they don't have guest extensions and working drivers for t

Most cellphone providers provide you with a text message when you're over 90% of your hard cap, and you can login and buy more bandwidth if you really need it. The same could be done with cloud doo-dads.

It's all the data that's not census data and the fact that it's joined with census data. Why is this data joined with tax information, calls to fire departments, and bike share information?
