The LMAX Architecture

When pushing performance like this, it starts to become important to take account of the way modern hardware is constructed. The phrase Martin Thompson likes to use is "mechanical sympathy". The term comes from race car driving

Demoscene at the International Congress of Mathematicians

icm 2006 - Demoscene - Mathematics in Movement by Iñigo Quílez
http://www.iquilezles.org/www/material/icm2006/icm2006.htm

… Our demoscene speeches in the ICM were of course a bit technical, but for the Conde Duque we made them quite more generic, showing more "noise and colors" than slides of course. People were impressed, they made many questions and we got a lot of positive feedback, especially in the form of "You HAVE TO show all this to the general public, in the media, go to schools and university, this is fantastic....". Well, that was like a dream for me. In the ICM they were more impressed by the technological side instead, they found impressive that "all that in 64 kilobytes?!" and "that is realtime???", but still got the main idea I wanted to transmit them: "this guys do really enjoy maths and have developed a intuitive and creative way of using it!" …

Dynamically extending applications using MEF and the new F# CodeDom

@ Matt's Software Blog

http://www.mattssoftwareblog.com/?tag=f

Matt:   I wrote this little applet to see what the combination of MEF and the F# CodeDom would look like, and for the record it looks really really good.

This combination opens a whole lot of doors. By using the F# CodeDom the plugin source code can brought in from anywhere;

  • A server,
  • A blog,
  • Code generated from a DSL, or even
  • Entered by the user directly.
