Reloaded

After a long time I decided to revive my blog. So here are some news and other stuff I found interesting during the last week:

• insideHPC reports that Microsoft is about to release a HPC platform called Dryad. It seems like "Dryad" will bring together some of the Microsoft research projects like: the runtime (Dryad), a distributed file system (TidyFS),  a scheduler for distributed clusters (Quincy), etc...
• Phil Haack shows how to test events using Rhino Mocks: Using Rhino Mocks To Unit Test Events on Interfaces. Old but nevertheless interesting and new to me :) 
• Stephen Toub schows how to implement a Stream pipeline in .NET.
• Udi Dahan gave a nice presentation about high availability. The video is available on the teched site. Some stuff to think about.
• Microsoft released the beta of Visual Studio Lightswitch. A Visual Studio edition for RAD.
