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 […]

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.
