Split-second Data Mapping
... for the U. S. intelligence community. “[The CIA has] a lot of geospatial data, and they need to be able to form, visualize, and query that data in real-time. It’s a real need across the intelligence community,” Mostak says. “Making GPUs first-class citizens”. GPUs are designed specifically for parallel computing, with thousands of energy-efficient cores that can, for example, simultaneously determine the color of each pixel on a computer screen to render an image. GPUs also use high bandwidth memory, a form of random access memory (RAM) that’s about an order of magnitude faster than CPUs. Today, some databases are being powered by GPUs. But these systems suffer from a major design flaw, Mostak says: “In most implementations, the data is initially stored on a CPU, moved to the GPU for a query, and results are moved back to the ...
Why It’s Impossible To Predict When That Giant Antarctic Ice Sheet Will Split
... thanks to air circulation in the room or bubbles in the ice. Now, enlarge that cube to the size of a small, Northeastern state, drop it in a bay circulating with currents, and surround it with weather. The ice alone is a computational disaster. Ice shelves begin as glaciers, and glaciers begin as snow. As snow accumulates, it compacts into ice. “There’s a spectrum of densities inside any big chunk,” says Brunt. And the ice isn’t pure: It’s full of biota, sand, dirt, and other crud you’d expect outside. “All of this stuff will affect how it melts over time,” says Brunt. Then you have to deal with the ocean currents. Like an iceberg, an ice shelf is nearly 90 percent underwater. Like waves—which chew away at an ice shelf’s waterline—undersea currents rub away at the hundreds of feet of ice beneath the surface. And the ...
Council On Split Vote Creates Fire Enforcer Job
... was an incident where there were some chemical smells, our fire department went out and had to bring police for further enforcement and this will help with efficiency, and will hopefully prevent a disaster before it occurs like it did in Oakland,” Williams said. Tina Murphy, the city’s human resources director, told the council that the position existed five years ago but had been cut during the economic downturn. She added the latest need for this position had been in discussion amongst city officials for the last six months. Murphy said the fire department was in need of additional enforcement and investigation duties to be performed for the fire marshal’s office. The chief fire enforcement officer would be able to do things that previously Milpitas police had to be called in for, including hazard ...

Girls’ Star Jemima Kirke And Husband Michael Mosberg Split
... who tied the knot in 2009, decided to call it quits in the summer of 2016. Another source adds that Mosberg was on the exclusive, members-only dating app Raya back in July. The app is a favorite among celebrities such as John Mayer, Jeremy Piven, Chelsea Handler and Matthew Perry. In February 2016 Kirke, 31, told The Telegraph that she met Mosberg — with whom she shares daughter Rafaella, 6, and son Memphis, 4 — during a rehab stint for “everything … partying” in her 20 s.

M. Night Shyamalan, James Mcavoy Talk About Juggling Personalities In 'split
... Shyamalan tells EW, “I was always teasing people with this scene: Three girls are trapped in a room, hearing a man and a woman arguing behind a door, and then the door opens and it’s just a man standing there. That’s how I would sell the movie.”. Split takes that as its jumping-off point, but then what’s next? Plenty, according to Shyamalan and the daring Scottish actor James Mc Avoy (Atonement, Filth, the last three X-Men films). In the exclusive video, above, Mc Avoy explains why his director couldn’t give him a straight answer when he asked for the name of his character. When Mc Avoy first appears he’s credited as Kevin — but that’s merely one of 23 people (at least) who inhabit the man’s brain. Universal Pictures. Shyamalan, who’s been fascinated by Dissociative Identity Disorder since James Cameron announced (but later abandoned) a film on the subject in the early 1990 s, also relates to how we all tend to compartmentalize. And to a certain extent, the voices in his own head. “I am a writer,” he tells EW. “But then I walk on set as the director. Then I’m a ...

WILKES-BARRE — A cop accused of trying to cover up a friend’s DUI was largely vindicated Thursday with a split verdict from the jury. After a little over four hours of deliberations, jurors found John Fronzoni not guilty of witness intimidation and hindering the prosecution. Jurors deadlocked on whether Fronzoni committed obstruction of justice. Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough declared a mistrial on that count and listed it for trial in March, giving prosecutors two months to decide whether to retry Fronzoni. Deputy Attorney General Bernard Anderson declined to comment after the verdict on whether that would happen. ...
Split Captaincy Doesn't Work In India
... more. That was the key factor. We have interacted a lot. He has improvised his cricket and his thinking. He will keep getting better. My job will be to assist him wherever needed, giving him my thoughts from behind the stumps. That's the real asset of the wicketkeeper," he said. "From my side, it will be a flow of information. Information that doesn't confuse and then he can pick and choose. The good thing is that if I go up with 100 ideas to him, he can say no to all of them. That is important because he has to take the responsibility. So the more I can serve to him, the more he can pick and choose, and the better it will be for Indian cricket," he explained. On whether he would consider a change in his batting position, which has mostly been lower down the order so far, Dhoni said, "Since I was the captain, I wanted to take added responsibility of playing lower down the order. I would have preferred batting at four but then if somebody is more comfortable at four, that gives our team more power. At the end of the day team is more important than individual. "Whatever the demands of the team, I am ready to bat there.". ...

Taylor Cocke’s 2017 Spring Na Lcs Pre-split Ranking
... cannot be overstated for TSM. While his replacement (and returning TSM player) Jason “Wild Turtle” Tran is certainly solid, he can’t hope to have the same effect on the Rift as Doublelift. Turtle’s – and, by default, TSM’s – biggest challenge will be gelling with support Vincent “Biofrost” Wang. Biofrost has only ever played on the professional stage with Doublelift, an influence that is going to be extremely difficult for a player in his first year of pro play to shake. Doublelift has aunique style that Biofrost was forced to reckon with in his first split, one completely different than the way Wild Turtle plays. Rather than backing up a mechanical god that (more than) occasionally gets caught when farming, he’ll be playing with someone who makes significant mistakes in teamfights. At least for the early part of the split, it’s going to be a struggle for them to adapt. The rest of TSM is remaining the same, meaning that four-fifths of the roster that took them to a Summer Split championship will still be in place. Much like he was even with Doublelift on ...
After Flip-flop, Franklin And Hill Officially Split
... with part-time staff, or it can contract its services with Franklin School District or another SAU. Hill has just 60 or so students at Jennie D. Blake Elementary School, according to state education department data. In 2015, Hill residents voted to enter into a 10-year agreement with Newfound School District for the older students. Matthew Upton, the attorney that helped craft the MOU, said last fall that in his experience, school districts don’t usually withdraw from an SAU for the cost savings. “It’s usually a function of districts going in different directions,” he said. Why it happened. Most of the city councilors who voted for the withdrawal, however, said it was on the basis of cost-savings. Even if it was just a little bit. Proponents of withdrawal said a one-school-SAU would garner $21,802 in net savings, allow administrators to focus on Franklin students, and give flexibility for the district to potentially consolidate financially with the ...
West Boys, East Girls Get Wins On Friday Night
... to 56-35 and at one point reached 27. The wins haven’t been plentiful for the Falcons, but the desire to go out and get them is there, coach Joey Bryson said. “Our kids are extremely hungry,” he said. “When you lose, at some point the hunger has to drive you to win.”. It didn’t on Friday night. For East, it’s been a tough week. The Eagles have been dealing with illness and missed practices, which definitely caused a rhythm disruption, East coach Casey Barnes said, but quickly added there were no excuses. “We played with no fundamentals tonight,” he said. East was led in scoring by Daniel Parker’s 10 points. David Houser added nine. In the earlier game, the East girls’ basketball team won in come-from-behind fashion. East beat West, 47-42. With 5:34 left in the fourth quarter, the Lady Eagles (8-6, 2-4) tied it up at 36. Kayla Johnson hit two 3-pointers and Drew Mc Millan added another to guide East to victory. Johnson finished with 16 points for East. Sarah Erwin added eight and Judy Laughter had seven. West (3-11, 0-6) was led by Jaia Wilson’s 14 points. Izzy Bell added 12 points. East will play at ...
