Brits still dissatisfied with broadband speeds
News M is for Murdoch Brits are still not satisfied with broadband speeds - and with good reason since actual line speeds are still on average 50 per cent less than the headline speeds advertised. Almost a third (28 per cent) of fat pipe subscribers... [14 Jul 2008]
Editor's Blog: silicon.com - what a difference a decade makes
Comment It's worth mentioning because now video is a core component of the silicon.com offering again - in fact yesterday we unveiled the first episode of a new show that I'm very proud of. This time around I'm pretty sure video is here to stay. [11 Jul 2008]
Google open sources data-moving tool
News Golightly said in a blog post: "I'm always just a little disappointed when someone goes about creating their own new textual format syntax on arbitrary grounds, rather than adapting an existing format to their needs. [11 Jul 2008]
Implementation of a Bandwidth-Efficient M-FSK Demodulator for Powerline Communications
White Paper In this paper, an implementation of a bandwidth - efficient M-ary frequency-shift keying (M-FSK) demodulator for powerline communication is presented. Signal demodulation is performed in a direct mode, by undersampling and analyzing consecutive... [11 Jul 2008]
Growing Conglomerate J.M. Huber Relies on Visual Networks
White Paper With the importance of the global network, Huber requires granular visibility into the characteristics of the WAN traffic. To properly prioritize and manage the growth of applications on its network, Huber migrated its network to Multi Protocol... [11 Jul 2008]
Very Fast Optimal Bandwidth Selection for Univariate Kernel Density Estimation
White Paper The computational complexity of evaluating the density derivative at M evaluation points given N sample points from the density is O(MN). This paper proposes a computationally efficient å - exact approximation algorithm for the univariate Gaussian... [11 Jul 2008]
A Bandwidth Efficient Modulation Scheme Using Quasi-Orthogonal Sequences
White Paper A novel modulation scheme using quaternary quasi-orthogonal sequences as M-ary modulation symbols is proposed. High bandwidth efficiency and quasi-orthogonality between the modulation symbols allows to increase the normalized data rate with little... [11 Jul 2008]
Wide Bandwidth Thin Film BAW Filters
White Paper Filters for the new GPS M code and for wireless LAN are required to have bandwidths approaching 4% of center frequency. Wide bandwidth filters are of interest in current and emerging wireless and system applications for use in IF circuits or as... [11 Jul 2008]
Analytical Model and Performance Analysis of a Network Interface Card
White Paper One of the key concerns for practitioners and academicians is that there are almost no platforms based on analytical models for testing the impact of various architectural and design modifications for intelligent Network Interface Cards (NICs). [11 Jul 2008]
Removing Architectural Bottlenecks to the Scalability of Speculative Parallelization
White Paper Speculative thread-level parallelization is a promising way to speed up codes that compilers fail to parallelize. While several speculative parallelization schemes have been proposed for different machine sizes and types of codes, the results so... [11 Jul 2008]
Taylor Woodrow heads for the cloud
Case Study M is for Murdoch Taylor Woodrow has moved its 1,800 staff onto Google Apps for email and other services, estimating it will save £1m per year in the process. The construction division of Taylor Wimpey has embraced software as a service by adopting... [10 Jul 2008]
Gov't data retention - how much is too much?
News M is for Microsoft Advances in technology could put the UK on the road to a Minority Report-style future, a security expert has warned. The Earl of Erroll, Merlin Hay, has warned against holding increasing amounts of data - such as proposals to... [10 Jul 2008]
WiMax - spreading to more UK businesses
News M is for M2M The spread of WiMax networks across the UK is continuing, with two providers announcing extensions of their business-oriented networks in the past week. On-Communications has said it has decided WiMax is the best technology for... [10 Jul 2008]
M-MPLS: Micromobility-Enabled Multiprotocol Label Switching
White Paper The resulting micromobility-based MPLS (M-MPLS) is defined in two modes of operation: overlay and integrated. This paper presents the integration of multiprotocol label switching with hierarchical mobile IPv6. [10 Jul 2008]
Measurement of the Bandwidth of Helicon Maser
White Paper The higher frequency e/m field may be called a pumping field. Radio frequency (RF) magnetoplasmic waves known as helicons will propagate in solid - state plasmas of metals and semiconductors when a strong magnetic field is applied. [10 Jul 2008]
