This recent Linux.com article talked about this supposed battle, noting however that developers are using Docker in traditional VMs
This is a repost from Arianna’s blog, which contains a lot of in-depth technical articles related to the Xen Project. So, about halfway through my OPW internship, I was informed that my wonderful mentor, Konrad Wilk, and Xen Project Community Manager Lars Kurth thought to allow me to attend
Both businesses and consumers rely on public clouds for a range of tasks and activities from collaboration and video streaming to gmail and Netflix. New companies are born with just a dozen employees, a laptop and an Internet connection practically overnight. This is all thanks to cloud computing. It’s
Background The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has become a fundamental building block in today’s computing environment, accelerating tasks from entertainment applications (gaming, video playback, etc.) to general purpose windowing (Windows* Aero*, Compiz Fusion, etc.) and high performance computing (medical image processing, weather forecast, computer aided designs, etc.). Today, we
