That was true in an age where single threaded performance also saw similiar improvements. But those days a gone. The power wall and transister scaling also ate factors here. Today,…

These processors have a lot of advanced features for big-time computing users (warehouse scale, super computers, etc). You can't just look at frequency or cachesize or number of co…

Where did I say government? If I am not mistaken, the organizations that oversee the casinos are private sector. If they are needed here then I see no reason why it cant be setup t…

I am a bit concerned with the direction of in-game purchases. Games are being designed to push users to spend money. Whats the difference between this and gambling in casinos? Are …

It comes down to how you define correctness. Weaker consistency requirements accept executions that do not serialize processor orderings allowing for algorithms like bakery to work…

This is why programmability is important. This is why being able to achieve performance of relaxed memory models with a more intuitive SC memory model should be a top objective for…

Why not use SHA-3 for hashing? I thought it can also use AES-NI extensions?

Hi. I won't be able to read this for a while. I am not familiar with federated byzantine. Can you quickly comment on the difference between this and purely distributed consensus? H…

Rubinstein was also behind the work on using pixel intensity variations to visualize... stuff. They used it to extract heart rates. I am guessing sillier methods used, but now to r…

Yes. Functional languages are amenable to composition. Because of their "purity". This allows trivial extraction of parallelism/concurrency. No need to reason about interleaving an…

The cooperative technique is useful for achieving lock freedom. This technique can be leveraged to build Software transactional memory: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00…

Yeah, my question was more of a curiosity one regarding the utility of EC for applications. Sorry if it seemed like a brazen dismissal of your article. I am actually waiting to rea…

Any links to the actual content?

Outside of social media (comment lists, facebook feeds, etc) are there any other examples where EC is an appropriate replacement of linearizability? If you want sequential behavior…
