In this post we’ll discuss how one can create deployment package with the help of TeamCity. And do we need TeamCity to create deployment package? What feature and benefits TeamCity provides and what are the downsides of these “benefits”? prepare-deployment-package configuration First we need to define what deployment package is. It can also be named […]

Everybody will agree that nowadays Continuous Integration (CI) process established on project is as usual as Version Control System (VCS) for source code. Actually both are tightly coupled – CI server takes source code from VCS and runs all the pre-configured by build engineer magic: source code compilation, automated tests run, installation package preparation, etc. […]

This topic is obviously not new. Everyone talks about it. Sooner or later. After making these choices couple of times and talking with customers I noticed common misunderstanding, misuse and mistakes people do(and so did I). There are lots of great articles out there which help out deciding, but still I think it could be […]

This trend is mostly driven by a huge demand from emerging markets such as China and other Asian countries. Sub-$100 […]

Do you remember your undergraduate calculus course? Frankly speaking, I don’t. But I do remember a big blackboard completely covered in chalk scribbles. That was a nightmare! Hopefully, those times are gone. I mean, why would we care about derivatives now? Here at ELEKS, we do care about derivatives. We create and deliver precise models […]

Few days ago we have got Intel Xeon Phi 5110P Coprocessor – 60-core x86 accelerator that is direct competitor of GPGPU on HPC market and is based on Intel Many-Integrated Core (MIC) architecture. As Xeon Phi is a quite new piece of hardware there are very few information in the Internet regarding its usage, installation […]

Today I would like to uncover the topic of parallel testing in context of test automation approaches: its potential benefits and possible scenarios. So let’s dwell on the matter of test automation as we know it.  What can we call a common benefit on this regard?  The most obvious one can be referred to as […]

This time we would like to share some details about realization of one of our projects in medical imaging. Currently one of the bottlenecks in MR image reconstruction is speed improvement. Improving the speed of image reconstruction is difficult from algorithmic point of view. But it’s becoming more popular to improve algorithm performance using GPU. […]

Disruptor is a framework for building high-performance applications that allows you to process large amount of messages concurrently without locks. It was initially invented by LMAX software development team members – Martin Thompson, Mike Barker and Dave Farley. It is said that with Disruptor you can achieve 100K transactions per second performance with less than […]
