Scientists have leaped over a major hurdle in efforts to begin commercial production of a form of carbon that could rival silicon in its potential for revolutionizing electronics devices ranging from supercomputers to cell phones. Called graphene, the material consists of a layer of graphite 50,000 ...
After I posted a blog on software energy efficiency recently, I realized from some of the comments from readers that most people did not get it. When I talk about software energy efficiency, most people think I am talking about using software to make other things greener. Yes, software can be used t...
Scientists have created a flat surface patterned after the body hair of spiders that refuses to get wet.
The surface also has the added benefit of being self-cleaning, since water does a pretty good job of picking up and carrying off dirt as it is being repelled.
This makes the material ideal ...
A car that runs on coffee is unveiled today - but it certainly won't take the grind out of commuting.
And at between 25 and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won't please any motor industry bean-counters either.
Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a c...
Green IT means two different things. One is to make IT itself greener, and the other is to make other things greener. Let's focus on the former. As everyone knows, IT consists of hardware-such as servers, storage equipment, and network gear-and software. Up until now, energy efficiency has been focu...

The quest for efficiency improvement raises questions regarding the optimal air temperature for data centers. The ASHRAE TC-9.9 committee has recently adopted an extension of the recommended thermal envelope for server inlet temperature and humidity. A popular hypothesis suggests that total energy d...
The trend of increasing heat densities in data centers has held consistent with advances in computing technology for many years. As power density increased, it became evident that the degree of difficulty in cooling these higher power demand loads was also increasing. In recent years, traditional co...
Traditional methodologies for monitoring the data center environment are no longer sufficient. With technologies such as blade servers driving up cooling demands and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley driving up data security requirements, the physical environment in the data center must be watched ...

Whether you are evaluating static analysis in your development cycle or already using static analysis today, learn what every development team needs to know, including what to look for when evaluating static analysis solutions, how to minimize the risk that noise and false positive rates pose to suc...
Bridging the gap between CAD and GIS, AutoCAD Map 3D allows engineering and GIS professionals to work with the same data, and enables design processes to integrate geospatial functions in a single environment for more efficient workflows.This results in better designs, increased productivity, and be...
Software integrity experts Mark Donsky and George Swan, Ph.D, from Coverity present how static analysis supports Agile to automate testing and find defects earlier in the development cycle, enforces in-cycle QA to share the quality responsibility across QA and development, and is used at Coverity to...

Glossary of Technical Terms
A Microsoft-specified format for saving audio and/or video clips, referred to by Windows as "Video for Windows." You can play the files through the Media Player in Windows or through many popular browser plug-in multimedia players. Files of this type have a .avi extension.
This term is used in the microchip manufacturing world. Companies like AMD and Intel strive for high ASPs. The ASP is an indication not only of direct profits, but how well a company is keeping up with the technology curve. It is not uncommon for Intel to have an ASP of around US$100 and AMD to be close behind.
