GridGain + Multi-Core processors

Submitted by cahn on 16 November, 2008 - 3:24pm

GridGain is an open source product written in Java providing a grid computing platform. It is known to be one of the more widely used grid product, certainly, as far as I see, one of the easiest to "gridify" or grid-enable an existing product.

One of the applications of the product is to couple with Amazon EC2 to make a "cloud" computing platform. See Gridgain + Amazon EC2

The widespread use of "multi-core" PCs also means that the product can be used to "parallelise" to take advantage of this increased power.

Drupal : Change DB and table collation to Unicode (UTF-8)

Submitted by cahn on 17 June, 2007 - 3:29am

Change all tables to Unicode:

for table in `mysql -h-u -p -e "show tables" | grep -v Tables`; do mysql -h-u -p -e "alter table $table convert to character set utf8" ; done

Change DB to Unicode :

mysql -h -u -p -e "alter database character set utf8";
