Stepping into the Future

Hi Friends,
How are you all. It's very long time since we met and chatted. I think you would have gained a good experience after coming out of the College life in 2009. Some of our friends are even crossing the boundaries and experiencing a wonderful life in abroad and some of us have struggled to get a desired job and still facing lots of obstacles in their way to achieve the goals. Feel free to share your experiences, good & bad, to help others in building a bright future ahead.

From my learning, I have found few interesting aspects of my life. There is a life beyond our career that needs our attention to enjoy each and every step of it. Earning position, respect, money are still like a game of cards where we need to look at the failures in order to see the success.

Human is a peculiar living being. Let's just enjoy and Let others enjoy.

Yours,
Up

Indian Railway / IRCTC Accepts Virtual Tickets, No Print Outs Required

As a part of going green, Indian Railway / IRCTC has launched virtual tickets with the Virtual Reservation Message (VRM) and thus eliminates the need of physical tickets and printouts to travel in the train.

Virtual Reservation Message (VRM) is a screen-shot of the e-ticket displayed through laptops/palmtops/Mobile phone. It has been accepting Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS), which is a regular ticket printout which contains the PNR, name, age and berth details of the passenger.

According to IRCTC, ERS/VRM along with any one of the eight prescribed ID proofs in original and the indication of the passenger(s)’ name(s) in the Reservation Chart will authorize the passenger to travel. VRM combined with valid photo-id in original will be treated as an instrument on par with the ERS.

ERS/VRM along with one of the eight prescribed proofs of identity in original will also authorize the passenger to enter the platform on the day of journey and he/she will not be required to purchase platform ticket. ERS/VRM along with original id proof will be required to be produced on demand of Ticket Checking Staff on the platform.

One mosquito coil equals 100 cigarettes

( From http://www.rxpgnews.com )


Smoke emitted from one mosquito repellent coil is equivalent to those of 100 cigarettes, thus causing harm to a large number of people in India, an expert said Wednesday. 'Not many people know about it, but the damage done to your lungs by one mosquito coil is equivalent to the damage done by 100 cigarettes. This was according to a recent study conducted in Malyasia,' said Chest Research Foundation director Sandeep Salvi. He was speaking at the conference 'Air Pollution and Our Health', organised by the Centre for Science and Environment - along with the Indian Council for Medical Research and the Indian Medical Association. Salvi said there is a lack of awareness about the impact of air pollution on human health. Pointing out the 'lack of research culture' among Indian doctors, Salvi said that indoor air pollution too is a health risk factor. Participants at the event, which included doctors and health researchers, also spoke about vehicular air pollution in the capital. According to estimates, about 55 percent of Delhi's population lives within 500 metres from main roads - and is, therefore, prone to a variety of physical disorders. 'The vehicular pollution is a major concern for the environment. The rising incidents of genetic disorder has a lot to do with air pollution. India loses one million children under five because of respiratory problems every year,' said Sanjeev Bagai, the chief executive officer of Batra Hospitals. He said industries also contribute to the air pollution and these need to be shifted out of the capital.

Alumni in GCE, Salem - 2011

Alumni function was conducted by our junior friends. I could not attend it yet still reminds the sweet and salt memories we had during our college days.  

Windows Live SkyDrive Cloud Service Relaunched, HTML5 Optimized

Microsoft relaunched Windows Live SkyDrive, incorporating HTML5 and taking advantage of recent browser advances to provide a much-improved experience for accessing and sharing Microsoft Office documents, photos and more in the cloud.

SkyDrive is your storage place in the cloud. Upload your files and photos so you can access them from anywhere, and share them to collaborate with others. Windows Live SkyDrive provides enough free storage for thousands of documents and photos, has powerful permissions settings, and offers Microsoft Office Web Apps that you can access online.

Primary strengths of SkyDrive include the sharing of Office documents in the cloud, access and sharing of photos across devices, particularly with Windows Phone, and the fact the service is free.

The refreshed experience has broad application, as SkyDrive has emerged as a single service for access and sharing across Windows, Office and smartphones including Windows Phone, iPhone and Android.

To date, SkyDrive has helped more than 100 million users store and share their files on the Web. The relaunch aims to make the experience more enjoyable and efficient in the following ways

Windows Live SkyDrive Allows you to

• Upload and share photos online: Use Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Movie Maker to edit, organize, and share your photos and videos, and upload them to SkyDrive.

• Share in email and on social networks: Upload and share documents and photos with the people you choose—groups of people or your entire social network. Share files in email, or send links to the files and photos you store online.
• Work with Office docs online: Create, edit, view, and share files online. With Office Web Apps, you don’t need to have Microsoft Office to create Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files online.

Key Features

• Faster: The time it takes to perform common tasks such as clicking on folders and navigating photo albums will drop from 6-9 seconds down to 100-300 milliseconds. The new SkyDrive takes advantage of hardware accelerated graphics and advancements including HTML5 video tag to support playback of H.264 videos (with support for files of up to 100 MB). And with IE9 on Windows 7, customers can pin SkyDrive to their taskbar for even faster access to the files they want.
• Easier to Navigate: The new SkyDrive brings together all photos, docs, and files into one view. Navigational elements and layout are now consistent with Windows, so customers will find the site familiar and easy to use.
• Photos Take Center Stage: The new SkyDrive removes previous design elements so photos now fill the browser. Also, photos are presented in their original aspect ratio, and with the new best-fit grid, pictures are laid out so users can see them all, including panoramas.

SkyDrive for the Modern Web, Built Using HTML5

• Photo Albums: When you view your photos in the new SkyDrive, you get a clean, rich view of your pictures that fills the browser and is more fluid than ever before.
• SkyDrive Summary Tiles: One principle in designing the new site is that SkyDrive should be focused on putting your content front and center. The new SkyDrive cuts the clutter and presents a clean, simple view of all your documents and photos.
• IE9 Jump List: For those using Internet Explorer 9, a fast way to get to SkyDrive from your Windows Taskbar is by using Pinned Sites and Jump Lists. They give you even faster access to your SkyDrive and quick access to common tasks like creating Office documents.
• SkyDrive Summary and Info Pane: The navigational elements and layout of the new SkyDrive are consistent with Windows, which means: a) 1 billion Windows customers will find the site familiar and easy to use, and b) SkyDrive now fills the page, using as much of the screen as you allow to showcase your content. Getting to your stuff is more predictable and consistent with how you already work.
• Photo Mosaic: When you select an album, you can now view all of your photos in their original aspect ratio, in the way you took your pictures. Your content will no longer be cropped to fit the page in a certain layout. SkyDrive’s new best-fit grid was designed to beautifully display your pictures, including your panoramas, so you can see everything.

Device Access

Microsoft announced deeper integration between SkyDrive and Windows Phone on June 7. With the release of Windows Phone “Mango” later this year, users will be able to share photos stored on SkyDrive via email, text, or IM. They will also be able to share videos immediately after shooting them, with the upload happening in the background.

Windows Phone brings instant access to docs in the Office hub so users can view folders and files directly on their phone.

In addition, SkyDrive will continue to offer a mobile Web app at SkyDrive.com that works with iPhone, Android and other modern smartphones for viewing and accessing Office docs and other files. Also, the OneNote app for the iPhone brings access to notes stored on SkyDrive from anywhere.

Japan’s “K computer” Leads the List of Top 500 Supercomputers

Japan’s “K computer” Leads the List of Top 500 Supercomputers

Japan’s “K Computer“, which is being jointly developed by RIKEN (a large natural sciences research institute in Japan) and Fujitsu have taken the first place on the 37th TOP500 list of Super Computers announced at the 26th International Supercomputing Conference (ISC’11) held in Hamburg, Germany. The ranking of all systems is based on how fast they run Linpack, a benchmark application developed to solve a dense system of linear equations. Check out the complete top500 list.

There are only two supercomputers from India in the top500 list. The super computer Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c at Computational Research Laboratories, TATA SONS built by Hewlett-Packard is at the 58th position and the IBM built Power 575 super computer at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology is at the 221th position.

The TOP500-ranked K computer system, currently in the configuration stage, has 672 computer racks equipped with a current total of 68,544 CPUs. This half-build system achieved the world’s best LINPACK benchmark performance of 8.162 petaflops (quadrillion floating-point operations per second), to place it at the head of the TOP500 list. In addition, the system has recorded high standards with a computing efficiency ratio of 93.0%. This is the first time since June 2004 that the Japanese supercomputer “Earth Simulator” has been ranked first on the TOP500 list.

The K computer, which is being jointly developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu, is part of the High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) initiative led by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Configuration of the K computer began in the end of September 2010, with availability for shared use scheduled for 2012.

The “K computer” is the nickname RIKEN has been using for the supercomputer of this project since July 2010. “K” comes from the Japanese Kanji letter “Kei” which means ten peta or 10 to the 16th power. The logo for the K computer based on the Japanese letter for Kei, was selected in October 2010. In its original sense, “Kei” expresses a large gateway, and it is hoped that the system will be a new gateway to computational science.

RIKEN (Rikagaku Kenkyūjo) is founded in 1917 and employs approximately 3000 scientists on seven campuses across Japan. Fujitsu is a leading provider of information and communication technology (ICT)-based business solutions for the global marketplace. Fujitsu has approximately 170,000 employees supporting customers in over 100 countries.

LINPACK is a program developed by J. Dongarra, Ph.D., of the University of Tennessee, for solving a system of linear equations using matrix computation. It is the benchmark program used to create the TOP500 list, which ranks the performance of the world’s supercomputers, announced in June and November of every year.

RIKEN and Fujitsu have been working together to develop the K computer, with the aim of beginning shared use by November 2012, as a part of the High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) initiative led by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The K computer will be comprised of over 800 computer racks—each equipped with ultrafast and energy-efficient CPUs—that access into a network capable of an immense amount of interconnectivity. The supercomputer system brings together leading-edge technologies for high performance and high reliability.

To test the system’s performance at the configuration stage, the K computer’s processing speed was measured by the LINPACK benchmark program, placing it on the 37th TOP500 ranking of the world’s fastest supercomputers. The TOP500 ranking list began in 1993 and is updated twice a year in June and November.

Performance and Future Status of the K computer

The LINPACK benchmark program, running on the part of the system that employs 68,544 CPUs installed on the K computer being configured, recorded the world’s top performance of 8.162 petaflops. This gave it the number-one position on the TOP500 list. Moreover, for one of the world’s largest supercomputers, it achieved an extraordinarily high computing efficiency ratio of 93.0%. This achievement is made possible by the K computer’s integration of technologies, including its massive number of CPUs, the interconnectivity that links them together, and the software that is able to bring out the highest performance from the hardware.

When configuration of the K computer is complete in 2012, it is designed to achieve LINPACK performance of 10 petaflops. It will be widely used in a variety of computational science fields where it is expected to contribute to the generation of world-class research results. The K computer is a wholly made-in-Japan supercomputer, from the research and development of the processors, to system design and manufacturing. Use of the K computer is expected to have a groundbreaking impact in fields ranging from global climate research, meteorology, disaster prevention, and medicine, thereby contributing to the creation of a prosperous and secure society. RIKEN and Fujitsu will continue to work tirelessly toward completing the system’s deployment in 2012.
