It also provides guidance for developers using non-.NET applications, libraries, and stacks with Windows Azure. The scenarios described here are based on direct customer input to the Windows Azure Customer Advisory Team (CAT) and the developer documentation team. These teams will continue to collect new guidance over the coming weeks and months. The most current topics, including any updates to the topics in this book, are located at the Windows Azure Development Guidance. If there is a scenario or topic that you need best practices for, please contact us at [email protected]. 2 Planning and Designing Windows Azure Applications This section contains articles that provide guidance about planning and designing either Windows Azure applications themselves or their provisioning and management. 3 Is Your Application a Good Fit for Windows Azure? Author: Jason Roth Reviewers: Paulette McKay, Ralph Squillace, Sidney Higa, Brian Swan If you're considering using Windows Azure to host an application, you might wonder if your application or business requirements are best served by the platform. This topic attempts to answer this question by: Looking at the benefits Windows Azure provides to your application Applying the strengths of the platform to common scenarios Rejecting scenarios that do not leverage the strengths of the platform Examining some common architecture and development considerations The intent is to provide a framework for thinking about your application and how it relates to the capabilities of Windows Azure. In many cases, links to additional resources are provided to improve your ability to analyze your application and make a decision on how to move to the cloud. Understand the Benefits of Windows Azure Before you can determine if your application is well-suited for Windows Azure, you must first understand some of the main benefits of the platform. A complete list of benefits can be found in the Windows Azure documentation and many articles and videos about Windows Azure. One excellent paper on this subject is Cloud Optimization – Expanding Capabilities, while Aligning Computing and Business Needs. There are several benefits

    A Taxonomy of Accelerator Architectures and Their

    A taxonomy of accelerator C. Cas$caval S. Chatterjee architectures and their H. Franke K. J. Gildea programming models P. Pattnaik As the clock frequency of silicon chips is leveling off, the computer architecture community is looking for different solutions to continue application performance scaling. One such solution is the multicore approach, i.e., using multiple simple cores that enable higher performance than wide superscalar processors, provided that the workload can exploit the parallelism. Another emerging alternative is the use of customized designs (accelerators) at different levels within the system. These are specialized functional units integrated with the core, specialized cores, attached processors, or attached appliances. The design tradeoff is quite compelling because current processor chips have billions of transistors, but they cannot all be activated or switched at the same time at high frequencies. Specialized designs provide increased power efficiency but cannot be used as general-purpose compute engines. Therefore, architects trade area for power efficiency by placing in the design additional units that are known to be active at different times. The resulting system is a heterogeneous architecture, with the potential of specialized execution that accelerates different workloads. While designing and building such hardware systems is attractive, writing and porting software to a heterogeneous platform is even more challenging than parallelism for homogeneous multicore systems. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy that allows us to define classes of accelerators, with the goal of focusing on a small set of programming models for accelerators. We discuss several types of currently popular accelerators and identify challenges to exploiting such accelerators in current software stacks.

    1. Background This Paper Is About a Method for Recovering Data from Floppy Disks That Are Failing Due to “Weak Bits”

    A Method for Recovering Data From Failing Floppy Disks with a Practical Example Dr. Frederick B. Cohen, Ph.D. and Charles M. Preston Fred Cohen & Associates and California Sciences Institute Abstract: As floppy disks and other similar media age, they have a tendency to lose data because of the reduction in retention of electromagnetic fields over time associated with various environmental degradation factors. In attempting to read these disks, the coding techniques used to write them can be exploited along with the proposed fault mechanisms to demonstrate that repetitions of read attempts under proper conditions yield valid data subject to specific error modes. In many cases those errors can be partially or completely reversed by analysis of read results. A practical example involving a case of substantial legal value is used as an example of the application of these methods. Keywords: weak bits, floppy disks, digital forensics, coding, field density loss, the birthday problem, error inversion 1. Background This paper is about a method for recovering data from floppy disks that are failing due to “weak bits”. It describes a repetitive read technique that has successfully recovered data from failing floppy disks in forensic cases and describes analysis of the results of such repetitive reads in terms of yielding forensically sound data values. These techniques are not new or particularly unique; however, they are not widely published and analysis necessary to support their use in legal matters has not been found elsewhere. The particular matter used as an example in this analysis involved a floppy disk that was more than 15 years old and that contained the only copy of a binary assembled version of a software program that was subject to intellectual property claims of sufficient value to warrant recovery beyond the means normally used by commercial recovery firms.

    Comparing OLE DB and ODBC This Document Compares the Basic Features of OLE DB to the Basic Features of ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)

    Comparing OLE DB and ODBC This document compares the basic features of OLE DB to the basic features of ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). It is intended to help clarify when to use one over the other. Introduction OLE DB and ODBC are both specifications created by Microsoft to address universal data access. Each is intended as an industry standard that will make access between one vendor's data store and another vendor's data consumer seamless. Microsoft's definition of OLE DB is a strategic system-level programming interface to data across the organization. OLE DB is an open specification designed to build on the success of ODBC by providing an open standard for accessing all kinds of data. And the definition of ODBC is an industry standard and a component of Microsoft® Windows® Open Services Architecture (WOSA). The ODBC interface makes it possible for applications to access data from a variety of database management systems (DBMSs). ODBC permits maximum interoperability—an application can access data in diverse DBMSs through a single interface. Furthermore, that application will be independent of any DBMS from which it accesses data. Users of the application can add software components called drivers, which create an interface between an application and a specific DBMS. The two primary differences between the two are • OLE DB is a component based specification and ODBC is a procedural based specification • SQL is the core of accessing data using ODBC but just one of the means of data access through OLE DB • ODBC is constrained to relational data stores; OLE DB supports all forms of data stores (relational, hierarchical, etc) In general, OLE DB provides a richer and more flexible interface for data access because it is not tightly bound to a command syntax (like SQL in the case of ODBC).

    DNYANSAGAR ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE, BALEWADI, PUNE – 45 Subject: 503 : Dot Net Programming CLASS: TYBBA(CA) V SEM (2013 PATTERN) Unit 1 :Introduction to .Net Framework Introduction to .NET Framework .NET is a software framework which is designed and developed by Microsoft. The first version of the .Net framework was 1.0 which came in the year 2002. In easy words, it is a virtual machine for compiling and executing programs written in different languages like C#, VB.Net etc. It is used to develop Form-based applications, Web-based applications, and Web services. There is a variety of programming languages available on the .Net platform, VB.Net and C# being the most common ones. It is used to build applications for Windows, phone, web, etc. It provides a lot of functionalities and also supports industry standards. .NET Framework supports more than 60 programming languages in which 11 programming languages are designed and developed by Microsoft. The remaining Non-Microsoft Languages which are supported by .NET Framework but not designed and developed by Microsoft. Common Language Runtime(CLR): CLR is the basic and Virtual Machine component of the .NET Framework. It is the run-time environment in the .NET Framework that runs the codes and helps in making the development process easier by providing the various services such as remoting, thread management, type-safety, memory management, robustness, etc.. Basically, it is responsible for managing the execution of .NET programs regardless of any .NET programming language. It also helps in the management of code, as code that targets the runtime is known as the Managed Code and code doesn’t target to runtime is known as Unmanaged code.
