| My shameless Slashdot copy/paste for the day: http://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/07/10/132204/computer-program-fixes-old-code-faster-than-expert-engineers http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2015/computer-program-fixes-old-code-faster-than-expert-engineers-0609 "From there, the Helium system then replaces the original bit-rotted components with the re-optimized ones. The net result: Helium can improve the performance of certain Photoshop filters by 75 percent, and the performance of less optimized programs such as Microsoft Windows IrfanView by 400 to 500 percent." Comments on Slashdot are along the lines of "faster software doesn't mean better business", which I guess is true for MS Office users, but I'd sure love to throw it at our render farm. ---------------- Dan Mons - R&D Sysadmin Cutting Edge http://cuttingedge.com.au To unsubscribe from the list send a blank e-mail to mailto:studiosysadmins-discuss-request@studiosysadmins.com?subject=unsubscribe |
