Am I the only one to have noticed that Sparse sounds a lot like SPARK as described by John Barnes in "High Integrity Ada : The SPARK Approach"?
Mind you, I think C needs it, and badly too!

Dear Doc, thank you for the text. Reading things like these really is travelling without moving.

Thanks. It was a lot of work doing the transcription, and I'm not sure I matched all the pix to the text, but... whatever.

What surprises me is that this whole exercize hasn't attracted much attention. My mistake for not getting it out sooner, I think.

Next time I'll make it happen faster.

thanks for the awesome coverage

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
