Transforming a business is a lot like changing the tires on a truck while it is slamming down the highway at 90 miles an hour. The business world doesn’t stop just because you need to optimize your operations.

If you’re like most managers, you’re neck deep in performance agreements, stretch goals, and the dance between managing your boss’s expectations and warning your team not to sandbag.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Evaluation of developers is an important topic for anyone involved in software development. Many developers care a great deal about career growth or raises at the very least. Managers need to be able to justify decisions around promotions and raises. Ideally, developers would be rewarded based on the amount of value they provide to a business. It’s a simple concept: you make the company more money, the company pays you more money.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Carol M. Evenson. Human beings are creatures of habit, and this becomes particularly clear in the workplace. Often, people will discuss their “routines,” the patterns they follow to achieve maximum efficiency. They become used to these patterns and even to rely on them. Unfortunately, this also means that people are often resistant to change. If you try to force them to alter their routines, they will push back.

Servers provide these agencies with the computational horsepower needed to tackle todays complicated national security and intelligence problem sets. Unfortunately, the commoditization of the server market has led to decision makers focusing solely on components (such as CPU’s, memory, and disks) when developing the specifications for new server procurements.

These applications require either very low latency (<< 1μs) between receipt of request and transmission of response, the ability to handle a very large number of such transactions (>>100ktps), or both. FPGAs can accelerate such applications by speeding up the algorithmic processing and eliminating the cost of moving messages between the network interface
