Busting 4 Modern Hardware Myths - Are Memory, HDDs, and SSDs Really Random Access?
(highscalability.com)
**tl;dr** 32 FPGA MD5 units running at 50 MHz do 1000x **worse** than a single 2.7 GHz Xeon core. Oh well, I tried.
As part of my ongoing series on FPGA development, I played around with implementing real-time audio effects on the FPGA. The effect I'm using is an FIR low-pass filter + delay.
Eliminating Global Interpreter Locks in Ruby through Hardware Transactional Memory (PPoPP '14)
(researcher.watson.ibm.com)
When I was in graduate school, transactional memory was an ivory tower pipe dream, but now it's something that actually exists in hardware you can buy. It seems worthwhile to start learning about how to use it.

As background, the lowRISC project aims to produce a fully open-source SoC using the RISC-V instruction set architecture and bring it to volume production. We've just released this document to describe in more detail our plans for tagged memory (not exactly the rebirth of the LISP machine, but has u...
