Large Hadron Collider creates Zombies!

“this advancement will single-handedly allow for the continuation of Moore’s law for the foreseeable future.”

“Where current interconnects are generally measured in gigabits per second, IBM’s new chip is already capable of shuttling data around at terabits per second, and should scale to peta- and exabit speeds.”

“This is the chip that could power the next-generation optical interconnect between your desktop’s CPU, GPU, and RAM. This is the chip that could directly wire your PC into your ISP’s fiber-optic network, potentially unleashing terabit-or-higher download speeds.”

“IBM has manufactured these chips on its 90nm SOI process — the same process that was used to produce the original Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii CPUs.”

“While we couldn’t even get a ballpark figure out of IBM, the use of a standard 90nm process means that these chips probably cost no more than a few dollars to produce.”

“This chip is a big deal.”

Auditing Data Changes

Auditing of changes to data is an integral part of any Enterprise system’s database. Not only is this information crucial for tracking ‘who-did-what’, but at times, it is also a legal requirement.

In this article, I will attempt to demonstrate the use of Service Broker and it’s External Activator Service for auditing data changes. Before getting to the code that can be used to view this in action, I will validate the Service’s use by looking at other available methodologies.
