Rumors: GeForce GTX 580 expected to perform 20% faster than 480
Nvidia is preparing to launch its GF110-based GeForce GTX 580 by the end of November or early December 2010 with performance 20% faster than its current GeForce GTX 480, according to sources from graphics card makers. After GF110, Nvidia is also set to gradually unveil its GF112, GF114 and GF119 in 2011 with market positions similar to its GF104, GF106 and GF108, respectively.
AMD to Launch New Graphics Card Next Week
That “second-generation” is namely the AMD Radeon 6xxx DirectX 11 GPU series, whose specs reportedly leaked late last month. The leaked specs sheet shows the redesigned GPU doubling many of the stats (memory bandwidth, Z/Stencil, and pixel rates) of the previous generation.
Nvidia Introduces GeForce GT 430 Graphics Card
Chip maker Nvidia announced the latest addition to its Fermi class of graphics processing units (GPUs): the GeForce GT 430, which the company said was specifically designed to power today’s digital media PCs and provide high-definition video and audio experiences.

A stream-oriented cloud computing platform for Rich Internet Application
In this paper, an overall view of the Elastic Stream Cloud (ESC) model and architecture have been proposed. The architecture has been successful deployed for the Internet TV broadcasting industrial. In order to introduce the different between the general purpose computational cloud, the stream cloud rationales are followed.In this paper, an overall view of the Elastic Stream Cloud (ESC) model and architecture have been proposed.
