Moore's law has finally run out of steam for CPUs. The number of x86 cores that can be placed cost-effectively on a single chip has reached a practical limit, making higher densities prohibitively expensive for most applications. Fortunately, for big data analytics, machine learning, and database applications, a more capable and cost-effective alternative for scaling compute performance

This open access book bridges the gap between playing with robots in school and studying robotics at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare for careers in industry and research. Robotic algorithms are presented formally, but using only mathematics known by high-school and first-year college students, such as calculus, matrices and probability. Concepts and algorithms are

The scenario describes a user sitting down at a computer to check email. One of the messages includes an attached document to be edited. The user clicks the attachment, and it opens in another window. After starting to edit the document, the user realizes they need to leave for a trip. They save the document in its partially edited state and shut down the computer to save energy. Upon re

If a query is performing poorly, and you can't understand why, then that query's execution plan will tell you not only what data set is coming back, but also what SQL Server did, and in what order, to get that data. It will reveal how the data was retrieved, and from which tables and indexes, what types of joins were used, at what point filtering, sorting and aggregation occurred, and a

The .NET Framework Notes for Professionals book is compiled from Stack Overflow Documentation, the content is written by the beautiful people at Stack Overflow.

This open access book employs a practical, example-driven approach to introduce the features of sed and regular expressions incrementally. The author strongly advises readers to manually type and experiment with each example, emphasizing that a thorough understanding of both the sample input and the resulting output is critical for comprehension. The book presupposes that readers possess

Data Mesh is a relatively new approach to data management. It combines several important trends in data management, including domain-driven design and data as a product, to decentralize the ownership of ingestion, processing, and serving of data. Zhamak Dehghani defined the term in 2019 as "a decentralized sociotechnical approach to share, access, and manage analytical data in complex an
