SAB vs. IEED: SAB vs. IEEDApples and OrangesFor IEED you're treating IT as a part of product design while in SAB it plays the more normal role of a support function to the business.IEED basically has "shadow IT" that just happens to have nothing shadowing it (or nothing to put in its shadow,...; Tags: Strategy, IT IS, IEED, SAB; Discussion threads 2007-09-12
SAB vs. IEED: Although both sample companies discussed so far, IEED and SAB, are start-ups there's a critically important difference between what we know of their IT requirements. That difference amounts to this: with IEED we know what we have to do, but don't know how to do it; while, with SAB, we...; Tags: Investment, Paul Murphy, IEED, SAB; Blog posts 2007-09-12
Using yesterday to see tomorrow: One of the comments I expect to get about the imaginary IEED research company is that I've picked the example specifically so that Wintel wouldn't have anything to offer, and to some extent that's true. What happened, however, wasn't a matter of picking an application to avoid Wintel, but that...; Tags: Wintel, Compiler, Microsoft Corp., Paul Murphy; Blog posts 2007-08-07

A Linux/FOSS opportunity: A Linux/FOSS opportunityInvisible Code OptimizationYou either need a virtual machine that can study the code at runtime and make very aggressive optimization decisions based on both the code and the environment which could be persisted duringfor actual delivery or you need pluggable target dependent libraries.I think the need for this...; Tags: Processors, F/OSS, Linux, Intel x86, Cell, open source; Discussion threads 2007-10-15
Database vs. Application: One of the interesting design challenges facing the people supporting the IEED research effort discussed yesterday involves how much of the key applications to embed in the database design.In that particular case the answer will probably be "essentially none" because the instrument designers can tell us what the data streams...; Tags: Storage, Databases, Operating systems, Paul Murphy, database, Unix; Blog posts 2007-08-09

The (IEED) development environment: The critical development work for our research company is going to get done via notes jotted on paper or blackboards with help from packages like Mathematica, and therefore won't actually affect us IT grunts until the researchers start to produce prototype code. When that happens, however, at least one...; Tags: Linux, Fortran, Compiler, Cell, Development Environment, Paul Murphy; Blog posts 2007-08-08
The (IEED) development environment: The IEED development environmentSo then, Murph...... when you say [i]"because “Plan b” is C and it’s almost as bad an answer as trying to hand optimise the intermediates produced by the IBM Fortran compiler"[/i] you are saying that one of your favourite company's Sun best known products Java isn't up...; Tags: Programming languages, development environment, Redundancy, environment, Murph, Fortran; Discussion threads 2007-08-08
iSense? Got'em? SASPO? IEED?: iSense? Got'em? SASPO? IEED?Proof-of-Concept vs Prototype vs ProductionIn the scenario Murph describes, all the researchers are really being asked to do is prove that the science behind what they are trying to do is sound, and that the engineering problem is solvable.At this point the researchers should be working at...; Tags: Team management, museum, team, Murph, processor, hardware, Email Network; Discussion threads 2007-08-06
iSense? Got'em? SASPO? IEED?: A research engineering company like the one we're imagining would typically be founded by a senior researcher whose name earns the funding request its DARPA audience and one or two graduate students who see the underlying research as a potentially profitable way of combining their PhD work with service...; Tags: Software, Wintel, Linux, Satellite, Hardware, Cell, Data Volume, Paul Murphy; Blog posts 2007-08-06
