Sun Achieves Land Speed Record: 1M Messages Per Second

Sun today announced new benchmark performance results for Thomson Reuters market data platform. The new benchmark demonstrates that running the platform, known as Reuters Market Data System 6.0.3 (RMDS), on Sun technology not only provides the best throughput performance to date by breaking the million-messages-per second barrier, but also the lowest available network latency on a 1Gb Ethernet.

DDR3 RAM Explained

Das Capitolin sends us to Benchmark Reviews for an in-depth feature on DDR3 memory that begins: "These are uncertain financial times we live in today, and the rise and fall of our economy has had [a] direct [effect] on consumer spending. It has already been one full year now that DDR3 has been patiently waiting for the enthusiast community to give it proper consideration, yet [its] success is still undermined by misconceptions and high price. Benchmark Reviews has been testing DDR3 more actively than anyone... Sadly, it might take an article like this to open the eyes of my fellow hardware enthusiast[s] and overclocker[s], because it seems like DDR3 is the technology nobody wants [badly] enough to learn about. Pity, because overclocking is what it's all about.

Open source software security improving

You cannot say something’s good or bad unless you benchmark or compare it against something else. According to theOpen Source Security Report 2008 Linus’s Law, “given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow�, a mentality which when combined with static code analysis of the most popular and widely used open source projects such as Firefox, Linux and PHP and benchmark it against 250 other open source projects, can truly make an impact. Is open source software security improving? Coverity’s recently released Open Source Report 2008, indicates it is.

New efficiency benchmark for dye-sensitized solar cells

In a paper published online June 29 in the journal Nature Materials, EPFL professor Michael Graetzel, Shaik Zakeeruddin and colleagues from the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved a record light conversion efficiency of 8.2% in solvent-free dye-sensitized solar cells. This breakthrough in efficiency without the use of volatile organic solvents will make it possible to pursue large scale, outdoor practical application of lightweight, inexpensive, flexible dye-sensitized solar films that are stable over long periods of light and heat exposure, according to Eurekalert, the news service of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

And with the enV2, it's clear that LG Electronics has improved dramatically on the prior two iterations of this somewhat revolutionary line of phones that it's developed for Verizon Wireless.
