This post will focus on getting a parallel code using parfor up and running. Performance will not be addressed in this post. I will assume that the reader has a basic knowledge of the parfor-loop construct.

What good is all the computing power of the pre-1960s world sitting on your lap if you're not using it to make college life easier? The following is a guide for students everywhere that want to spend less time on the tedious stuff, and more time on the things like study and research that actually produce results.

This tutorial will attempt to demonstrate how to make a realistic HDR, one that is virtually indistinguishable from a single exposure. The biggest goal is producing a tutorial that can stand as a standard by which anyone can learn to create a balanced HDR. Ultimately, the processing choices are yours. These are the building blocks.

I’m not an idiot. I know people are busy. I don’t always feel like making dinner. And I know a lot of people who simply don’t like to cook. If I had to knit my own clothes I’d be really bummed.

HOWTO on building scipy/numpy with the Intel compilers

The Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) is designed to run on multiple processors and operating systems. It is also compatible with several compilers and third party libraries, and provides different interfaces to the functionality. To support these different environments, tools, and interfaces Intel MKL provides mutliple libraries from which to choose. To see what libraries are recommended for a particular use case, specify the parameters in the drop down lists below.

Reader Philip's OS X desktop not only gives him a quote of the day and tells him what happened this day in history—it also has a unique, interesting clock sitting on the background wallpaper.

The comic’s formative years are enshrined in the just-released The Bloom County Library: Volume One: 1980–1982, the first in a five-volume reprint series that will eventually archive the entire strip—even the stuff that makes its creator wince. “Who the hell remembers who Cap Weinberger was?” he asks. “It was shocking to see how much time I’d spent writing those names. The timeliness of the humor is definitely limiting.”
