Distcc & Distributed Computing
Daniel shows how distcc and its distributed compilation capabilities can significantly reduce compilation times, while Trevor Marshall tells why Gentoo Linux is a programmer's Linux.
The New New Thing
First PC apps. Then client/server. Then the Web. Now it's wireless and voice. The "New Thing" gets tacked on each time, but it's rarely integrated. So developers construct a new application from the data out to the presentation layer. Covigo wants to change that: They'd like to sell you on a single server architecture that can adapt to multiple output channels (the Web, wireless and voice) and different levels of "real-time": right now, off-line or alerts.

DTACK Revisited
From Hal's point of view, nothing much has happened in desktop-computing architectures since 1982. With that in mind, Hal compares the PowerPC 601 to Intel's upcoming P6.

Pentium Optimizations and Numeric Performance ![](http://i.cmpnet.com/ddj/v2/images/source_code_icon.gif)
The Pentium is the first member of the Intel x86 family that requires RISC-style instruction scheduling to achieve its full potential. Steve analyzes what this means in terms of Pentium floating-point performance and how you can get full throughput from a Pentium. - Parallel
Optimizing Matrix Math on the Pentium ![](http://i.cmpnet.com/ddj/v2/images/source_code_icon.gif)
The Pentium processor is more than just a fast 486. Its pipeline and floating-point and integer operations require that you pay more attention to the flow of data on and off the FPU. Harlan presents and measures methods for speeding up Pentium matrix-math operations. - Parallel
