Joe Duffy's Weblog: "Monitors are comprised of two capabilities: critical regions (i.e. Monitor.Enter and Exit), to achieve mutual exclusion, and condition variables (i.e. Monitor.Wait, Pulse, and PulseAll), to coordinate between threads. Any CLR object can be used as a monitor."

Traditional American Music
Some Irish lads wanted "tradition American" music. Is there such a thing? In our early history, we just had Irish, English, Scottish, French, etc. music. And these evolved into the genres we have today.
Here is my list..
* Yankee Doodle (1700's)
* Turkey in the Straw (1820)
* Buffalo Gals (1844, Cool White)
* Camptown Races (1850, Foster)
* Oh! Susanna (1846, Foster)
* Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair (1854, Foster)
* Dixie (1860, Emmett)

* John Brown's Body (alt battle hymn)
* When Johnny comes marching home (1863 by Henry Tolman)
* Shortn Break (civil war)
* Abdul Abulbul Amir (1877, Perchy French)
* Oh My Darling, Clementine (1884, Percy Montrose)
* Yellow Rose of Texas (1860s? * Red River Valley (1890+)
* Streets of Laredo (1900s?)
* Home on the Range (Higley 1876)

Pipelines, Latencies and Unrolling
Apple documentation!
There is quite a bit of variability between implementations of x86 based processors. Small parts of the design get regular tweaking even in minor updates to the processor. It is difficult to make sweeping generalization about the exact operation of various stages of the x86 pipelines: fetch, decode, dispatch, issue, execution and completion. Please see processor specific Intel documentation for a more complete description of the particular performance characteristics of each processor that you are targeting.
Generally speaking, the smaller register file on the x86 architecture compared to PowerPC is backed by a much larger reorder buffer, to reorder the execution of instructions to keep pipelines full. From the perspective of a developer experienced with AltiVec, it may initially appear difficult to keep pipelines full with eight registers. While this would be true of a strictly in-order architecture, the large reorder window allows the processor to pull future instructions forward to fill gaps in the pipelines to help make sure that the processor stays full. The processor may pull instructions forward from the next loop iteration. Indeed, in some cores it may not be uncommon to see several loop iterations unrolled in hardware in the reorder buffers. This process occurs transparently to the developer and may perform differently on different cores.

FROM an evolutionary perspective, monogamy looks good for females and bad for males. For mothers, it means devotion as dad is going to be around to help look after the kids. For fathers it is more of a prison sentence, because it restricts a male's ability to inseminate lots of females at relatively low cost. In most circumstances, unless the young are likely to die without paternal support, a male has little incentive to stay with an individual female when he has so many other females to breed with.
That, at least, was the conventional wisdom until fairly recently. But modern genetic techniques have shown that in many species females in apparently monogamous relationships often produce families that have more than one father. To explain this, biologists have theorised that these females are mating with males who are genetically superior to their regular mates, thus getting the benefit of parental assistance from a cuckold and good genes from a Lothario.

I, Cringely . The Pulpit . Mercury Rising | PBS: "Where's Googlization for the rest of us? It's called Appistry.
Appistry application fabrics take an application and spread it across tens, even hundreds of commodity processors. If you need more computing power, just add new nodes and the application will spread to them automatically, speeding up linearly as it does. If one or more nodes fail for any reason, they are simply ignored and the job continues minus those machines.
This is hot stuff and, talking with the St. Louis, Missouri-based company you'd think finding customers would be a breeze, but it wasn't at first. 'We've always been about commoditization and virtualizing lots of machines to one, but it is hard to get people to save 80 percent on something that wasn't broken,' said Appistry founder Bob Lozano, 'Potential customers kept saying, 'Help me fix this problem I can't solve,' instead. Where customers were willing to try us was on these large computational or large data-intensive apps -- tasks for which there was no minimally acceptable solution.'"

Build high-performance apps for multicore processors
Build high-performance apps for multicore processors The RapidMind Development Platform provides a simple single-source mechanism to develop portable high-performance applications for multicore processors. In particular, you can use it to develop applications that fully exploit the power of the Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell/B.E.) processor's unique architecture by writing only one, single-threaded C++ program using an existing C++ compiler. In this article, author Michael McCool takes you on a guided tour of the RapidMind Development Platform.
