I have read these articles before. But these definitions are from a different time and have an unnecessary stigma attached to them (How did non aligned countries end up meaning poor ?). I don't think India is a developed (what does this eve

I would assume cost of living would include things like sending your children to school and so on, or going out on a fun weekend. If it does not, then I am sorely mistaken as what "cost of living" is. As for investing money back, I'd assume

I think it is important to have a look at the code and have it imprinted as an abstract algorithm / pseudo code that you can reproduce easily later. It feels such a natural thing to do, I am not sure what kind of people would not do this.

This again depends on the domain and programming language you will be working on. But almost always the following line holds good. Make your code readable.

There are pre-paid providers which operate on AT&T networks and offer services (including upto 5GB data) for about $50. If you are not on a family plan, buying an unlocked phone and going pre-paid is actually cheaper.

6Gigs on a single GPU is very tempting. And the single precision performance (Theoretically 2.2 TFLOPS) per GPU on the K10 is more than anything else you can get on the market. To buy one of those would cost you $3500-$4000. To buy two + mo

Because the current series (GTX 680) is severely stunted for CUDA compared to the GTX 580. The single precision performance of 680 barely beats the 580. The double precision performance on the GTX series sucks in general, but NVIDIA actuall

To be fair, there should not be a lot of data transfers to and from the GPU. Moving larger chunks of data (instead of many smaller ones) when you are running out of memory, using asynchronous data / compute streams would increase the perfor

You are taking about shared memory in CUDA, local memory in OpenCL. When you are reading from the same location over and over again (most notable cases are linear algebra functions, filtering in signal processing), reading from DRAM is goin

I said they do more, and most top of the line phones from other manufacturers have them. Even if it does not make the other phones better, lacking those features only makes it worse.

It is identifying both chromium and firefox as chrome on Linux. The User Agent String looks suspicious too.. http://imgur.com/eYdlo,XjsOH EDIT: I am on ArchLinux if that helps.

Not this post again. Those who thought Linux can compete with heavily subsidized windows on Laptops or OSX with Apple's flashy interfaces are dreamers. Linux has been for those that like to get dirty and it is doing that job quite well. Can

Using OpenACC would just give you some quick benefits in development time, but I think it will not be competitive with pure CUDA in actual time taken for the program to run. I would be really interested in these results if you can share the
