Multiple Branches of source code

Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration with TeamCity – Supporting Multiple Branches

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. […]

Mobile Cross-platform Choices. Unraveled

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 […]

Boosting Android Apps Performance

While mobile vendor giants struggle to produce the most intellectual device, it appears that a huge amount of users want to buy a device as cheap as possible but still prefer smartphones over old-school feature-phones. This trend is mostly driven by a huge demand from emerging markets such as China and other Asian countries. Sub-$100 […]

A Short Note on Automatic Differentiation

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 […]

Introducing Intel Xeon Phi – Hardware and Installation

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 […]

Parallelism in Testing – To Be or Not To Be?

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 […]

Speeding up MR Image Reconstruction with GeneRalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisitions (GRAPPA)

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. […]

.NET

Disruptor.NET

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 […]

Cloud Computing: Myths, Fears and Facts

Last time we were writing about Cloud Computing basics. Today we are going to discuss myths about cloud computing. Our main goal is to understand what is real and what is just a myth. Lower cost Probably the most controversial topic about Cloud Computing is it’s cost. On the one hand, vendors usually say cloud computing is […]

Dive into the Cloud: Brief Technology Introduction

Cloud Computing is one of the most speculated terms in IT industry last couple of years. We call “cloud” lots of things, sometimes absolutely different. We’re starting the series of posts, dedicated to large set of technologies somehow related to Cloud Computing. We start our journey from the very beginning: let’s define cloud and understand what […]
