Insi de the Pentagon.  Hilarious. News is finally leaking out how the US warplan for Iraq lacked (until recently) specific benchmarks.  Rapid changes in course can be characterized as flexibility if those changes are slaved to defined objectives.  If those objectives don't exist, it's chaos.

Of course, these new benchmarks are classified.  This means that they are effectively useless in this conflict.  In order to fight a decentralized insurgency, decision making must be pushed down to the lowest levels.  Every soldier in Iraq should know what these objectives are so they can adapt their effort to accomplish them.

The top U.S. officer in Iraq, Army Gen. George Casey, lately has been garnering plaudits behind the scenes from his military and civilian colleagues for adding measurable benchmarks to his campaign plan, a classified document in which a commander typically delineates security objectives and how subordinate units will attain them. But some officials say the nearly two-year delay in laying out clear and realistic security goals in a single military plan has taken a toll on the Iraqi stability and reconstruction effort.

Excellent! John Lim did some benchmarking with ADOdb and DBX. Before this, I was a bit worried that the reason people are not using DBX is because it is slow. We now have some proof that it isn't. Now we know that there is no technical reason not to position DBX as a standard PHP DB wrapper.

And finally I end this marathon blogging session with another one of our PeepAgg team members - Chris Schmidt.

Chris did the FOAF module for LiveJournal and is now working on getting PeepAgg into Drupal.

:-)

Here's his post....

ApacheBe nch testing of XML Parsing. So, I've been working on a project called PeopleAggregator, and we've been talking about integrating with a lot of different platforms, among them Drupal. (For the record, this is completely unrelated to the MT stuff that went on today. I may write on that later, but really, everyone else has said what I would in a million different ways.) Anyway, we were talking about RAP and how it's too bulky and slow to work for what we need.

So, we got a guy on the team - Joel De Gan, who's working on the PeoplesDNS project for us, and he offered to write us a parser. This is going to be a replacement for RAP, for those of us who can't deal with the slowness of RAP.

Now, I don't know much about RAP. And I don't know much about PHP, or parsing XML, or really anything - I pick up the bits I need to know as I go along. So I'm just kind of standing on the sidelines, but today, I got a demo of what Joel's parser can do.

LiveJournal FOAF files are typically big. Mine is no exception - over 100 friends, random contact data, etc. All in all, a 40KB document about me. I want to parse this data. So I attempt to using both RAP and Joel's parser.

To alleviate network traffic conditions, I copy the file I want locally. To simulate the action of opening a file and reading it, I did keep it on the webserver, so I will admit there may be some kind of bias in that, but I used the exact same method to open the file in both cases (fopen) so I don't think that's an issue that would cause any major difference. I also disabled all printed output.

Anyway, I used this file to check the parsers. Using ab (apache benchmarking utility - fetches a page a bunch of times and tells you how long it took). Using a 50 request check, I got averages on the two parsing utilities:

Joel De Gan's XML parser, parses data into a multileveled array as displayed at http://crschmidt.net/parse/ parse.php (source available):

Requests per second: 11.25 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 88.92 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 88.92 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)

(Full Stats)

RAP, parses into RDF models. (source, + RAP. The parser isn't actually here):

Requests per second: 1.35 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 739.82 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 739.82 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)

(Full Stats)

So, we've got a parser that to a guy like me seems simpler to use (advanced data structures are part of the limited experience I did get from LiveJournal), is lightweight (one file, as opposed to 256 in RAP), and faster by an order of magnitude.

That, to me, sounds like a winner. Props to Joel for his great work. His next step is to implement OWL capabilities into RDF parsing, and that's going to kick even more ass. As Eric said at one point about this: "Be still my beating heart." By crschmidt@livejournal.com. [Christopher Schmidt]

SQLite Database Speed Comparison: If you ever wanted to know which Linux database option was the fastest, the guys over at SQLite have done some tests. No surprises: SQLite wins, MySQL is second, with PostgreSQL trailing the pack.

Note to Access users: MySQL can do 25,000 inserts in two seconds. SQLite can do it in less than one second. While Access is great for desktop work, I shudder to think how it would stack up in this test.

I'd be interested to see where Firebird fits in this scale.

With new video cards in hand, we've come back to provide you with more details about how Aspyr's Macintosh conversion of Doom 3 runs. This should give Mac gamers a more general idea of how well the game performs on a high-end Mac system. To that end, we've now tested the game with several graphics cards: ATI's Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition and Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition cards, Apple's Nvidia 6800 Ultra card and the stock Radeon 9600XT card that came with our test system.

Five-Star Review of iMac G5

Five-Star Review of iMac G5 09/21/2004 02:37 PM
Awarding the iMac G5 five stars, PC Magazine writes, “Pros: Simple, stunning all-in-one design. Quiet. Just one cord (for power), thanks to optional Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. More compact than other all-in-one desktops. Gorgeous 20-inch screen and desktop-caliber hard drive make machine more usable than a desktop-replacement notebook, for the same money and space use… Bottom Line: Apple has another design coup on its hands with the Apple iMac G5. Its clean, simple look — imagine if an iPod grew into a full-size, self-contained PC — exclaims, ‘It’s about time they designed a computer like this.’” [Sep 21]

The Sub-$500 iMac? 12/29/2004 11:38 AM

This could be fun! Think Secret says they know what The Steve will be unveiling at the January 11 Macworld Expo: a bare bones, G4-based iMac without a display that will retail for $499.

This new product will be for a Windows user who has experienced the iPod, the ease of use of the iTunes software, and has played around with a Mac at an Apple retail store just long enough to know he'd buy one if it were a little cheaper.

Code name Q88, the machine is said to be very small and designed to either go underneath a monitor or stand upright, alongside a second computer. The guys over at MacSlash are hoping that it will also have a built-in KVM that will allow PC switchers to run the iMac side-by-side with their existing PC, using the same keyboard, mouse & monitor. That might be a little much to hope for, but if the rest is true, that might shake things up a bit, don't you think?

Giz modo had this snapshot of what is reportedly Apple's new iMac G5. It's supposed to be released next week, but somebody got a sneak peek in an elevator at Charles DeGaulle Airport. Looks to be little more than a thick flat panel monitor, with the computer's guts tucked behind the screen.

I would think that would be an easy build — just use the basic parts from a laptop unit, wrap it with a spiffy new skin, jam in a G5 processor and the proper cooling mechanisms, and there you have it.

Drool.

The 20" iMac doesn't look as ungainly as I would expect, but it's still surprising. Is there really a market for a slow Mac with a big screen? Apple used the introduction of the dual 1.8GHz G5 as an excuse to quietly replace its bogus SPEC benchmarks with something more realistic. (But you know someone is going to say, "Why didn't they compare against the dual 3.2GHz xw8000? It's been out for three hours!")

New iMac Details 08/15/2004 09:26 PM
Think Secret a popular Mac rumor site has claimed to receive the specifications from sources regarding Apple's upcoming re-designed iMac. Along with brief description of what this new PC will look like.

The new iMac will apparently not have an adjustable neck, but instead will feature an all-in-one design. A design that will be in sync with its logic board, optical drive, and other components. Think Secret's sources claim that it will similar to Sony's VAIO W700G. Also saying that "It's not fair to compare the new iMac to the Sony model". Adding that the iMac will have sleeker lines and contours, and knowing Apple it's going to look interesting.

It's reported that the new iMac will offer speeds between 1.6 GHz and 1.8 GHz (using the G5 processor). All models will be able to support a maximum of up to 2GB of DDR memory, AirPort Extreme-ready, built in microphone, and built-in stereo speakers. If this rumor is true iMac fans won’t have wait long for its arrival. As it's already being reported to be unveiled at the Apple Expo in Paris (August 31, 2004).

Keep in mind that this is still a rumor, but Think Secret has a good track record of its rumors being true. If that's the case this new iMac will certainly have an attractive look. After all just about anything is better than Sony’s design.
