  • RARE: Rethinking Architecture Research and Education
    RARE: Rethinking Architecture Research and Education Chuck Thacker ([email protected]) Microsoft Research Silicon Valley October, 2010 Influential D. Patterson columns: Seven Reason to Shave Your Head and Three Reasons Not to: The bald truth. Commun. ACM. 49, (4): 31-32 (April, 2006) Computer Science Education in the 21st Century. Commun. ACM 49, (3): 27-30 (March, 2006) Alas, sometimes, Dave is wrong… Points in Dave’s second CACM column: • Use tools and libraries – “For many CS courses, a dramatic change would simply be if students first wrote a clear specification and then built software using modern tools and software components”. • Embrace Parallelism. – It is the only road remaining today for performance improvement • Join the open source movement. • Build your own supercomputer. – Described RAMP, which led to my latest projects. The problem for Computer Architecture • As with “real” architecture, it is about building things. – The “things” must be functional, elegant, and cost-effective. • Academic departments haven’t been able to build computers since about 1982. – Chip fabrication is too expensive – Chip design is too complex for small student teams. • Result: Architecture research became incremental. The RAMP idea • Provide an FPGA-based platform for architectural research. • Would allow small groups to design and build significant systems again. • I was initially skeptical – “FPGAs aren’t big enough” – “Design tools aren’t up to the job”. • I was wrong • But I was right that this isn’t something best done by students. –

  • Rare Has Been Developing Video Games for More Than Three Decades
    Rare has been developing video games for more than three decades. From Jetpac on the ZX Spectrum to Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo to Viva Pinata on Xbox 360, they are known for creating games that are played and loved by millions. Their latest title, Sea of Thieves, available on both Xbox One and PC via Xbox Play Anywhere, uses Azure in a variety of interesting and unique ways. In this document, we will explore the Azure services and cloud architecture choices made by Rare to bring Sea of Thieves to life. Sea of Thieves is a “Shared World Adventure Game”. Players take on the role of a pirate with other live players (friends or otherwise) as part of their crew. The shared world is filled with other live players also sailing around in their ships with their crew. Players can go out and tackle quests or play however they wish in this sandboxed environment and will eventually come across other players doing the same. When other crews are discovered, a player can choose to attack, team up to accomplish a task, or just float on by. Creating and maintaining this seamless world with thousands of players is quite a challenge. Below is a simple architecture diagram showing some of the pieces that drive the backend services of Sea of Thieves. PlayFab Multiplayer Servers PlayFab Multiplayer Servers (formerly Thunderhead) allows developers to host a dynamically scaling pool of custom game servers using Azure. This service can host something as simple as a standalone executable, or something more complicated like a complete container image.

  • ZERO TOLERANCE: Policy on Supporting 1St Party Xbox Games
    ZERO TOLERANCE: Policy on Supporting 1st Party Xbox Games FEBRUARY 6, 2009 TRAINING ALERT Target Audience All Xbox Support Agents Introduction This Training Alert is specific to incorrect referral of game issues to game developers and manufacturers. What’s Important Microsoft has received several complaints from our game partners about calls being incorrectly routed to them when the issue should have been resolved by a Microsoft support agent at one of our call centers. This has grown from an annoyance to seriously affecting Microsoft's ability to successfully partner with certain game manufacturers. To respond to this, Microsoft is requesting all call centers to implement a zero tolerance policy on incorrect referrals of Games issues. These must stay within the Microsoft support umbrella through escalations as needed within the call center and on to Microsoft if necessary. Under no circumstances should any T1 support agent, T2 support staff, or supervisor refer a customer with an Xbox game issue back to the game manufacturer, or other external party. If there is any question, escalate the ticket to Microsoft. Please also use the appropriate article First-party game titles include , but are not limited to , the following examples: outlining support • Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts boundaries and • Fable II definition of 1 st party • Gears of War 2 games. • Halo 3 • Lips VKB Articles: • Scene It? Box Office Smash • Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise #910587 First-party game developers include , but are not limited to, the following #917504 examples: • Bungie Studios #910582 • Bizarre Creations • FASA Studios • Rare Studios • Lionhead Studios Again, due to the seriousness of this issue, if any agent fails to adhere to this policy, Microsoft will request that they be permanently removed from the Microsoft account per our policies for other detrimental kinds of actions.

  • SHARING the MISSION to CONQUER RARE DISEASES Closer Collaboration Between Pharmaceutical Companies and Patient Organizations Will Accelerate Drug Development
    SHARING THE MISSION TO CONQUER RARE DISEASES Closer collaboration between pharmaceutical companies and patient organizations will accelerate drug development At an ever-quickening pace, biopharmaceutical companies and patient advocacy groups are banding together to hasten development of new drugs for rare diseases. Advocacy groups rely on their partners for financial and scientific support while providing access to repositories of patient data – the key to understanding rare diseases – as well as assistance with clinical trial enrollment. These relationships bring tremendous value to both sides but also present challenges. Increasingly, patient groups expect to be treated as equal partners. They want companies to consult with them earlier in the design of clinical trials, give them greater access to data generated in the studies, and make longer-term commitments to assist their patient communities. In this report, inVentiv Health looks at the dynamics reshaping collaboration in the rare disease space. 02 • SHARING THE MISSION TO CONQUER RARE DISEASES TABLE OF CONTENTS 05 • The Patient’s Voice 05 • A Guide to Partnering in Rare Diseases 07 • The Goals of Partnership 08 • Spotlight on RARE Science 09 • Future of Collaboration 10 • Resolving Conflicts inVentiv Health PR Group • 03 INTRODUCTION When Congress passed the Orphan Drug Act (ODA) in 1983, no one could guarantee that financial incentives in the law would spur development of life-saving drugs. But, the framework has proven highly effective. It provided tax credits, relief from regulatory fees, and other incentives for companies that develop treatments for some 7,000 rare conditions – those affecting fewer than 200,000 people. In the three-plus decades since the law was signed, the FDA has approved more than 500 drugs for rare diseases and granted more than 3,000 orphan drug “designations.” Europe and Japan followed the US in drafting orphan drug laws, adding to a worldwide boom in drug development aimed at rare diseases.
