So you just got yourself a new laptop. Congratulations! Did you notice that it has an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS)?

Windows Server 2008 R2 represents the latest evolution of the Windows Server operating system and corresponding support for high-end hardware systems with large numbers of microprocessors.  The 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 support more than 64 Logical Processors (LP) on a single computer. Microsoft has tested R2 with 256 processor systems; the largest systems available at present.  New commodity computer systems will soon appear that leverage NUMA architectures.  A system with 4 CPU sockets, 8 processor-cores per socket and with Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) enabled per core, will readily achieve 64 Logical Processors.   R2 features enhanced support of Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) computer architectures along with new User-Mode Thread Scheduling (UMS) technology.    UMS enables custom thread-level scheduling within your own application.   For certain categories of computing scenarios, this avoids the overhead of kernel transitions and context switching.  New API’s are available for both NUMA and UMS technologies.   Many high-end multi-core server-class software solutions may now be developed with NUMA and/or UMS integration in order to achieve linear performance scaling.  Parallel Computing and High Performance Computing solution developers may find NUMA awareness essential for performance scalability.

The Windows 7 Training Kit for Developers based on the RTM version of Windows has been released. It includes presentations, hands-on labs, and demos designed to help you learn how to build applications that are compatible with and shine on Windows 7

Windows7  RTM과 더불어 개발자들을 위한 Windows7 세미나가 총 6회 기획되어서 제공됩니다.

Computers and vision – what’s up with that? Things we do with our eyes without out a seconds thought are difficult for computers
