One of the Parallel Computers that I used: You can just get an idea about a simple parallel computer configurations

You can just get an idea about a simple parallel computer configurations

SUN Ultra Sparc-III (used to run parallel random number generators, yes I wrote the code as well) : used long back though

The experiments were conducted on machines containing
24, 1050 MHz UltraSparc-III CPUs, 48 gigabytes of memory,
a terabyte of disk storage, L1 Cache, and L2 Cache. L1
cache consists of 64 KB 4-way data, 32 KB 4-way instruction,
2 KB Write, and 2 KB Prefetch. L2 Cache consists of
8 MB External On-chip controller and address tags.

Lessons Learned and Opinions for Better Software Development

2. coming soon…

1. No matter what, if multiple programmers will be working on the same project, use version control. Well, you will find this opinion all over the internet. No doubt. That’s just a knowledge. However, if you work with different scenarios; with or without version control, you will feel it what really works, and what really is better. Nothing New.

However, sometimes right knowledge is better than bad experience (experience of doing thing in a wrong way….)

Hadoop, NoSQL, PHP

MongoDB (from “humongous”) is an open-source document database, and the leading NoSQL database. Written in C++.

Mobile Development, Responsive Design, and Related

You can download the Project ResponsiveRabbit from:
As I mentioned in an another article, I used CSS from ResponsiveRabbit to create mobile version of web-sites. http://www.justetc.net and http://www.justetc.org both have a mobile version. For resolution < 768 px the mobile responsive version is displayed. In the mobile version, the top menu is squeezed to the top. The width of the menu also changes based on screen resolution. For > 400 px width, menu width is 300px. At one point the width becomes 250, then 200, and then 150. It could be made percentage. However, based on the web-site structure, it could be little tricky/not-straight forward. So took the easier but more css codier way…
For mobile versions, the carousals are taken off, some of the box items are shown as plain text links. As for mobile version, the contents breakdown and arrange them one under another.
the css files, style.css the default mobile version; shown for width <= 767px.
style_desk.css is the desktop version shown for width >= 768px
responsive.css have the css classes that will be responsive
bootstrap-responsive.css has the media queries and defines the behavior for different resolutions
Some css from bootstrap-responsive.css
@media (max-width: 767px) {
/*sayed block starts */
#actualNavBar{
display: none;
}#responseNavBar{
position:absolute;
top:0px;
}.slider, .pagination{
display: none;
}.slider:after{
clear: both;
}

.box{
float:right;
padding:5px;
}

.nav-collapse{
max-width: 300px;
min-width: 300px;
float:right;
}

.container-fluid{
max-width: 50px;
float: right;
}

.navbar-inner{
width:40px;
height:40px;
float: right;
}
/*sayed block ends */

From style_desk.css
#responseNavBar{
float:right;
position:absolute;
top:0px;
display: none;
}#actualNavBar{
display: block;
}
/*sayed block starts*/
/*251 to 400px*/
@media (max-width: 400px) {
.nav-collapse{
max-width: 250px;
min-width: 250px;
float:right;
}
}
/*201 to 250*/
@media (max-width: 250px) {
.nav-collapse{
max-width: 200px;
min-width: 200px;
float:right;
}
}/*0 to 200*/
@media (max-width: 200px) {
.nav-collapse{
max-width: 150px;
min-width: 150px;
float:right;
}
}/*sayed block ends*/ 

I was looking for research work that eventually led to this CSS Media Queries, and responsive design…there must be some.. will see..now attaching one as I found…[not directly related …]
