Cloud Providers

In order to help the IT organizations make better, more informed decisions and provide optimized productivity considering their cloud applications, Intel Corporation is cooperating with somewhere about 16 of the leading cloud providers all over the world. The main purpose of this collaboration is to introduce the so-called program “Intel Cloud Technology”. The first of its kind initiative will help users see, like, its real face. That way, they will develop quite wide knowledge of this particular sphere, which will help them make the right decisions before purchasing any services. The tendency is that by the end of 2016, the incomes of the IaaS infrastructure will be drastically increased.
What is even expected is that they will rise by up to 41 % on an annual base. With that more and more companies are considering outsourcing of their IT services and technology, supporting the cloud-based services and applications.
As for the cloud technology by Intel, what should be taken into account is that the program itself is based on the collaboration between AWS and Intel, and the necessity to inform their costumers about the specifications, productivity, quality, security of their services, which are used in the AWS installations, as well as the benefits they will derive from all of that in the end.
The users of such services want to know the type of technologies in which their applications work on, simply because they affect directly their businesses.
If you just think about it, even the tiniest change in the productivity of the cloud might affect the sales which the e-commerce web sites make. Shopzilla, for example, has increased its incomes by 12 % only by speeding up website load times.
CSPs is going to promote the benefits of those Intel cloud technologies, supporting its services through many channels. Its main goal is to drastically improve the productivity of the applications plus the security levels so that make sure that any personal data will be absolutely secured.
Thinking about the types of cloud providers, we are going to focus on only the three of them, namely SaaS, PaaS and IaaS.
What is the difference between the three of them?
The first one in this group is the SaaS or also known as software-as-a-service – it includes, for instance, Google Docs or Salesforce, which constitute such secloud desktoprvices that are basically designed for the End Users.
The platform-as-a-service providers or abbreviated as PaaS, is, for instance, Windows Azure. These type of providers offer either Windows or Linux operating system which means that your business may take advantage of much more resources for development and use less for configuration and operating system maintenance. The downside here is that your IT personnel will have less control over the main one.
Abbreviated as IaaS, this type of providers (infrastructure-as-a-service) offer better control over the main operating system but don’t provide automatic operating system updates. A typical example of such providers are the Amazon EC2 as well as the Rackspace, which are actually very similar to the PaaS type.

Electronic Music Theory: 8 Rhythmic Devices You Should Know (Polyrhythm, Syncopation +)

Image
 I wrote about the primary elements of drum beats: measured time, drum sound selection, and the observable phenomenon of 2s and 3s. Truth be told I wrote that article to get you thinking about rhythm in a different way so I could follow it with this article. I will go over some rhythmic devices that I’ve picked up over the years from working with drummers and percussionists in a variety of live performance and studio recording situations. Being that this is a series dedicated to how music works (music theory), it is appropriate to include some examples of recorded music that utilizes these techniques, which I will do for you below. Once you’ve internalized these concepts and can recognize their idiosyncratic sounds, you’ll start hearing them all over the place. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them using the comment section down below. Alright, let’s jump in. This one example includes all eight rhythmic devices that we’ll cover below:  the downbeat ,  the up

Computable Universes & Algorithmic Theory of Everything: The Computational Multiverse

Digital Physics: Is our universe just the output of a deterministic computer program? As a consequence of Moore's law, each decade computers are getting roughly 1000 times faster by cost. Apply Moore's law to the video game business. As the virtual worlds get more convincing many people will spend more time in them. Soon most universes will be virtual, only one (the original) will be real. Then many will be led to suspect the real one is a simulation as well. Some are already suspecting this today. Then the simplest explanation of our universe is the simplest program that computes it. In 1997 Schmidhuber pointed out [1] that the simplest such program actually computes all possible universes with all types of physical constants and laws, not just ours. His essay also talks about universes simulated within parent universes in nested fashion, and about universal complexity-based measures on possible universes. Here a few video clips on this from the World Science Fest

Balancing your Studies and Social Life at University

When you add up all the course work and social opportunities, the uni experience can be overwhelming, and one of the worst parts is feeling like you have to sacrifice part of your study time for a party or vice versa. But fear not!  The university experience doesn’t have to be all work or all play  – there are ways to have a successful academic career and still have time for fun. The key to making it through is finding a way to balance your studies and social life, by setting realistic expectations, staying organised and having interim goals. Set the right goals A good goal is one you have to stretch to achieve, but is not so unreasonable that you’d have to drop everything else to get there. Try to get into the habit of setting goals not only for your academic life but other parts of your university experience as well. Break your course work into achievable segments.  Instead of waiting until the last minute to study for an exam or start a big project, set intermediate daily o
