My friend Savagerx at SgDotNet posted something interesting for me to read up.

This article discusses some of the common roles we can expect to find in a community.

Yet another of somehow the same article.

Firefox Spyware infects IE?

The terror has come. Java Runtime Environment is now the target for spywares. It’s no more ActiveX. Read on to find out.

<snip>
What if there was an infection out there that could bypass Firefox and still get its grubby little paws on IE, and from there, the heart of your OS? What if that same infection could get past not only FF, but a whole raft of other (supposedly more secure) browsers too?

What if, of all people, Neil Diamond was indirectly involved in this craziness?

Unfortunately, this has now become a reality and woe betide anyone looking for lyrics from Neil’s latest hit. You’re more likely to end up with a nasty case of browseritis. After hearing rumours of a Firefox Adware bundle from this thread, I thought I’d go check it out. The results were, as they say, a right kick in the pants.

The Algorithm Structure Design Space in Parallel Programming

The first phase of designing a parallel algorithm consists of analyzing the problem to identify exploitable concurrency, usually by using the patterns of the Finding Concurrency design space. The output from the Finding Concurrency design space is a decomposition of the problem into design elements:

  • A task decomposition that identifies tasks that can execute concurrently
  • A data decomposition that identifies data local to each task
  • A way of grouping tasks and ordering the groups to satisfy temporal constraints
  • An analysis of dependencies among tasks

This chapter will help you, the algorithm designer, to leave the parallel algorithm design abstract enough to support portability while ensuring that it can eventually be implemented effectively for the parallel systems on which it will be executed.
