Specifically, up to 18,000 of NVIDIA’s

Clearly enjoying the fruits of its labour in the wider chip-making market, one-time graphics specialist NVIDIA is to have its GPU processing technology utilized in Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s upcoming supercomputer.

Specifically, up to 18,000 of NVIDIA’s Tesla processors are to be adopted during the second phase development of the Titan supercomputer (Cray XK6), which is being built to churn through a variety of important scientific research projects—including the creation of commercially viable biofuels.

“Oak Ridge’s decision to base Titan on Tesla GPUs underscores the growing belief that GPU-based heterogeneous computing is the best approach to reach exascale computing levels within the next decade,” commented Steve Scott, chief technology officer of Tesla products at NVIDIA.

For those not immediately familiar with such heavy-handed parlance, “exascale” computing refers to performance levels in the region of 1,000 petaflops.

According to Scott, NVIDIA’s processors will provide more than 85 percent of Titan’s muscle when running at peak performance (approx. 20 petaflops), adding that it isn’t possible to achieve such levels in a power-efficient and cost-efficient way with just CPUs.

NVIDIA to release quad-core tablet processors in 2011

We here at The Tech Herald have a clear soft spot for the wonders of tablet computing. That being said, we’ve long since voiced our tablet reservations where processing muscle and productivity are concerned. Perhaps that’s about to change.

More pointedly, the CEO of graphics specialist NVIDIA—which also makes the Tegra series of mobile processors—has told Forbes that Android-powered tablet computers will be carrying its quad-core technology before the close of 2011.

If NVIDIA does indeed release its enhanced mobile CPU this year, it will likely beat fellow chipmaker Qualcomm to the quad-core punch. Qualcomm isn’t expected to have its own platform ready for shipping until early 2012.

According to NVIDIA boss Jen-Hsun Huang, the advanced technology will also be implemented across smartphone devices, but that probably won’t happen until next year.

Beyond further solidifying NVIDIA’s ongoing shift into conventional CPU territory, the arrival of its quad-core processors should see it adding yet more consumer appeal and feature-rich performance to both the smartphone and tablet markets.

NVIDIA presently holds some 70 percent of the Android tablet sector and around 50 percent where Android smartphones are concerned.

Music Unlimited with Sony Tablet

In a move to enrich the appeal of its product portfolio, Sony has this week attempted to wrap its arms even tighter around the increasingly popular ‘cloud’ while competing more directly with Apple’s iTunes Store.

Specifically, Sony has announced a dedicated Android software application for its Music Unlimited streaming service, which, once installed, will provide support for owners of its recently launched Sony Tablet computer.

According to Sony Network Entertainment president Tim Schaaf, the move “marks one of our many significant steps to satisfy the mobile demands of our current consumers while opening up our cloud-based service to completely new audiences.”

For those unfamiliar with Music Unlimited, it provides Sony customers across nine different countries with online access to more than 10 million music tracks as well as streamed TV and film content, and even downloadable videogames.

Also boasting the navigational benefits of an upgraded user interface, the Sony Tablet app allows service subscribers to create playlists faster, discover related artists and song tracks, and receive more streamlined search results.

Clean out your Computer With Registry Cleaner

Some people say that to work more efficiently, one has to start on a clean slate. The same is true with your computer. Sometimes, your computer system can be in chaos when you forget to keep it clean (memory and disk-wise).  Sooner or later, you would end up with data corrupted and all your hard work would be put to waste.

It is something any computer user would not want to deal with, thus, you, being one of them must install a registry cleaner to keep your computer out of such mess. The secret in making your computer fast is to keep your registry clean. This is because your registry may get too congested with some of the commands that overstayed there when you installed and uninstalled several softwares. To be honest about it, most of the commands from software can crowd up your system and before you know it, they have already created havoc in your computer.


Some have advised that a good way to do PC registry cleanup is to manage your temporary and junk files, as well as keep downloads to a minimum as much as possible. When worse comes to worst, the best way to make your computer work at the best speed is to start anew on clean slate, meaning one has to reformat the registry to its original settings. Though it is deemed best, it would take some time, and it may cause your computer some major file damage or damage the system itself. In the worst scenario could even end up deleting some important files and folders unintentionally. This would of course lead you to more trouble, thus aggravating the situation further.

Unstable voltage

Voltage instability can lead to wastage of electrical energy. Voltage instability can be interpreted in a phase of larger, smaller or fluctuate against standard voltage. While the result improvidence electrical energy that then arises first heat so that it can cause damage to the equipment used insulators. To two shortened power in the winding insulation. Meanwhile, with the imbalance of 3% just increase the temperature of the motor that is operating at 18% from its original state. This will cause the noise of the motor at high speed. 


Harmonic

Harmonics that can cause heat, this occurs because of excessive electrical energy. Harmonics that could arise due to equipment such as computers, motor control etc. Harmonic voltage is a state of emergence of different periods with the period of the standard voltage. The period can be 180 Hz (3rd harmonic), 300 Hz (5th harmonic) and so on. Harmonics on transformers is more dangerous, it is because of current circulation caused excessive heat. So that it can reduce the ability of protective equipment that uses power line carrier as the detector under normal conditions.
