All the things I'd rather do.

What I need to do is put together a few slides and movies for an 8-minute quick talk tomorrow at Axiom Gallery in Boston, record it, and upload it. What I'd rather do is completely different ( Read more... )

I hope the talk went well, but now that's it's over, have you gotten started on this list? Is uploading your 2011 photo galleries on the agenda?

Well, I got to do some handiwork with my main desktop! Yesterday I moved one of the two RAID drives into the case (it had been sitting on top, on a mouse pad, and it seemed to get really warm up there). Now it's settled in a 5 1/4" bay with a HD fan attached to it. Much cooler!

Plus, I did some more work with my SSE2-enabled code. I now have a single C program that computes a 100M-long dot product using several methods: x87, SSE, Atlas/BLAS, and CUDA in single-threaded mode, and x87, SSE, and Atlas in multithreaded mode. The fastest it runs is 3.7 GFLOP/s, which is really only an indicator of how fast my memory transfers are: 14 GB/sec.

And I read the two articles (one was the Bruce Sterling one about the new materialsm).

Um, 2011 photos? Whoops. Okay.
