mysql 5.1 GA sera lanzado el 6 de diciembre - partitioning,

MYSQL 5.1 con partitioning

Lo que mas me interesa de esta version es el partitioning, lo probe en unas versiones anteriores y no era muy rapido y lo que mas me incomodaba era que por cada particion te crea un archivo mas !!!, cuando la mayoria de tablas que uso crece en mas de 30 millones de registros por dia es necesario contar con este feature, por ahora tengo que generar tablas por hora e implementar una logica para poder usarlas como si fueran una.

Veremos como le va...

Intel core i7 (aka Nehalem) en peru? cuando llega a wilson?

Todo muy bonito, todos los bench indican que es mas rapido que todo lo existen

Pero el procesador $320 (920 el mas barato), la placa X58 ($300) las memorias que tienes que comprarlas de 3 en 3 ($150) para aprovecharlo al maximo (triple channel) , todo precios USA.

Con lo mismo me armo un par de PCs con Q6600 con 8GB (o casi 3) que superan al juguete anterior, todavia creo no migro, primero que bajen las DDR3, otro punto debil es que usan DDR3 1066 , habiendo ya de 1600Mhz casi estandar y como el controlador de memoria esta integrado no vas poder usarlas a full con esta version de CPU.

Tambien que bajen las mainboards X58 , $300 es un exceso. y no trae nada interesante el ICH10R tambien lo tiene las G45 y P45, salvo para los gamers que quieren usar 2X SLI o 3x SLI, yo con mi 7600 estoy bien por ahora, Nvidia tambien amenaza en bajar sus precios por perdida de market share ante AMD, mejor espero, aqui en Peru lo mejor es comprarse un 9600 o 8600 con disipador pasivo (sin ventilador), me ha pasado y he visto mil veces como ese ventilador se malogra y la tarjeta ya fue, prefiero desde el inicio adaptar un cooler en el case y solucionar ese problema.

Segun los bench el triple channel tampoco implica un incremento importante en comparacion al
existente dual channel (que casi todas las placas son con DDR2 1066).

Veremos que pasa........ ojala que los Phenom II X4 a 45nm puedan hacer en algo la competencia a un precio accesible.

Intel introduced its most advanced desktop processor, the Intel Core i7 processor. The Core i7 processor is the first member of a new family of Nehalem processor designs, with new technologies that boost performance on demand and maximize data throughput. The Core i7 processor speeds video editing, immersive games and other popular Internet and computer activities by up to 40% without increasing power consumption.

The Core i7 processor more than doubles the memory bandwidth of previous Intel Extreme platforms, speeding the transfer of computer bits and bites in and out of the processor with Intel Quickpath Technology. Designed with Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology, the processor also allows multiple computing threads to run simultaneously, effectively enabling it to do two things at once. As a result, the Core i7 quad-core processor delivers eight-threaded performance.

The Intel Core i7 processor also offers unrivaled performance for immersive 3-D games—over 40% faster than previous Intel high-performance processors on both the 3DMark Vantage CPU physics and AI tests, popular industry computer benchmarks that measure gaming performance. The Extreme Edition uses eight threads to run games with advanced artificial intelligence and physics to make games act and feel real.

The Intel Core i7 processors and Intel X58 Express chipset-based Intel desktop board DX58SO Extreme series are for sale immediately from several computer manufacturers online and in retail stores, as well as a boxed retail product via channel online sales.

The Core i7 processor is the first member of the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture family; server and mobile product versions will be in production later. Each Core i7 processor features an 8MB L3 cache and three channels of DDR3 1066 memory to deliver the best memory performance of any desktop platform. Intel's top performance processor, the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition, also removes overspeed protection, allowing Intel's knowledgeable customers or hobbyists to further increase the chip's speed.

Intel Core i7 processor specification
Processor	Clock speed (GHz)	Price	QPI speed (GT/sec)	Cache	Memory speed support	TDP	Processor generation
Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition	3.20	US$999	6.4	8 MB	DDR3 1066	130W	New Intel Core microarchitecture (Nehalem) 45nm

Examen Microsoft 70 -113 performance based en new horizons

Acabo de dar el examen 70 -113 en New Horizons , en opinion, me parece interesante el examen , tienes que tener experiencia con todas las herramientas,te dan acceso a una servidor via remote desktop, me toco que el acceso era bastante lento lo que demoraba en ejecutar las operaciones, si tienes mucho tiempo yo creo que muchos la hacen ya que pueden "pasear" por todas las opciones y encontrar la respuesta, inclusive tienes acceso a la ayuda de windows .....

Creo que los examenes definitivos van a durar menos tiempo.

Espero estar entre los 3000 primeros y obtener esos 3 vouchers gratis, parece que si , parece que no, ya veremos ....

Exam 70-113 Pilot Extended to Dec. 17

Microsoft is providing three free vouchers toward any MCP exam for first 3,000 test takers as an incentive to take this pilot exam.

October 30, 2008

According to a recent Microsoft Learning blog post, the group is extending the pilot testing phase for its performance-based Active Directory exam.

Pilot Exam 70-113: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring, pilot testing has been extended to Dec. 17th. As a pilot exam, test takers provide feedback and get a taste for the new performance-based exams that the group will be adding to the mix of question types. So, what's the incentive this time to taking these exams when you don't get anything in return, such as credit toward the Active Directory exam itself?

Microsoft, for its part, is offering three vouchers good toward taking any Microsoft certification exam, limited to the first 3,000 pilot test takers worldwide. The catch is that you must reside in a region where the pilot exam is being delivered and you must register seven days prior to taking the exam.

WinHEC: Windows Server 2008 R2 Pushes Processor Limits

by Kurt Mackie

November 7, 2008

Windows Server 2008 R2 got the lion's share of attention on Thursday at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in Los Angeles, starting with a keynote by Microsoft exec Bill Laing.

Laing is Microsoft's corporate vice president of the Windows Server Division. While much of the news about Windows Server 2008 R2 features had been disclosed last week at Microsoft's Professional Developer's Conference, the keynote hit the high points for an audience consisting largely of Microsoft's hardware engineering partners.

The R2 version of Windows Server 2008 isn't generally available yet, but it's being reviewed by some of Microsoft's partners. It's expected to be publicly available in late 2009 or early 2010.

Nonetheless, WinHEC attendees could still see Windows Server 2008 R2 in action during Laing's keynote. Onstage with Laing were two big-box servers, including the Hewlett-Packard Integrity Superdome Server using Intel Itanium x64 processors plus two terabytes of memory and the IBM x3950 M2 Server running Intel Xeon x86 processors.

Other enterprise servers tested using Windows Server 2008 R2 included the NEC AsAmA and Unisys ES7000/one.

Laing emphasized that the Windows Server 2008 R2 build is capable now of scaling operations from 64 logical processors (the current limit) to 256 logical processors on the Superdome Server. With the IBM x3950 M2 Server, the system scaled up to 192 available cores.

The keynote also demonstrated what to do with all of this computing power by running a live demo of a massive SQL Server application that was occupying about 82 percent of the Superdome Server's capacity. Within a few seconds, the load balanced automatically across the 256 logical cores when the demo was run. A graph of the system's performance was relatively flat across all of the processors.

The demo used a next-generation build of SQL Server, code-named "Kilimanjaro," which Microsoft expects to ship sometime in the first half of 2010. Kilimanjaro was announced in October at the Microsoft Business Intelligence Conference in Seattle.

Laing emphasized a number of features to look for in Windows Server 2008 R2. It will have a power-saving ability through a "core parking" feature, which reduces power consumption on lighter loads by using a minimum amount of processors.

Power conservation is certainly important. Datacenters consume about 1.5 percent of total U.S. energy production, according to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study that WinHEC presenters referenced.

The R2 release of Windows Server 2008 will support "live migration," which lets you move a virtual machine from one server to another without apparent disruption to an end user that may be tapping those resources.

Users will have a choice of using PowerShell or a graphical user interface with the System Center Virtual Machine Manager. Microsoft is also adding remote capabilities to its management solutions.

The keynote was also an occasion for Laing to declare that Microsoft is done with 32-bit servers. It will no longer sell them, favoring the 64-bit variety. Laing said that we are almost through a 64-bit transition phase, especially with falling prices for DRAM.

Microsoft's big announcement during the keynote was the scale up to 256 logical processors. However, 256 apparently is not the limit.

"We'd love to do 512 [logical processors], said Arie van der Hoeven, Microsoft's senior program manager for the Windows Kernel Team, in a session talk also given on Thursday. He added that with Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 R2 software, there is "no limit" to the number of processors that can be supported.

The limitation, if any, is that Microsoft needs to test in advance with the available hardware -- hence the promoted 256 number.

Microsoft is targeting the under $25,000 server market with Windows Server 2008 R2, and that represents about half of the enterprise server market, van der Hoeven said.

One interesting bit of information is that Windows Server 2008 and the Windows 7 client both share the same kernel. The shared kernel marks a change in direction for Microsoft, which no longer plans to fork the code between server and client Windows operating systems.
