I have gone back to the Seagate 7200RPM drive, but I did the following. I upgraded the laptop to 8GB of RAM, and I installedSuperSpeed Ramdisk Plus. I configured a 3GB RAM disk and moved my TortoiseSVN working copies to the ram disk. I also configured SQL Server to use the ram disk...
As you can see, I have something called an “Optiarc” something-or-other. Yours is likely different, unless you happen to have a similar Dell laptop. Right click on that device (the Optiarc in my case) and click on properties to get more information: There’s actually nothing...
If the cop shows up, it's essentially my word against his. I guess the judge will probably side with the cop instead of me, but I'll bring pictures of where I was pulled over, speed performance data for my 2000 SUV, and argue in a respectful way that I was not going over the sp...
Test #1: Production Builds The large requirements for our production CSS arenode-sassandautoprefixer. The JavaScript is made up ofreactand a bunch of complementary packages. It gets built withbrowserifyand compressed withuglify. Clean Production Build A clean build on my laptop takes just over 30...
Let’s at least clear up the acronym soup first: DMA: DirectMemoryAccess PIO: ProgrammedInput/Output WTH: What The Heck? Oversimplifying, as usual, but there are basically two ways for hardware such as disk drives and DVD players to transfer data to and from the computer itself. PI...
You can see significant performance differences on an average laptop using tune-sklearn. Image fromGridSearchCV 2.0. If you would like to learn more about tune-sklearn, you should check out thisblog post. Parallelize or distribute your training with joblib and Ray ...
but move on to the next character as soon as possible. I find that a fast-paced “machine-gun” approach to combat is more enjoyable and exciting than a slow-paced game of tactical chess. (Your mileage may vary.) Once you hit a groove, and things start to speed up, the players will...
It isn’t something we’d used before for local developer laptop builds, but we figured we’d try using it to see what the performance gains would be. With a bit of logic in place to make sure we only use the remote cache for local builds when it makes sense, we shaved more than ...
The technology, known as Visualization Streams for Ultimate Scalability (ViSUS), has been used for years in several different areas of research, including clean energy simulations on High Performance Computing platforms. The software processes interactively terascale-sized datasets. The typical laptop has...
