IBM invest 1 Billion in linux 10 years ago? news.cnet.com/2100-1001-249750.html

Just think of the data mining that was done in the swing states last election. Is sending a taylored message to a specific subset of people which has a high probability of changing their voting position truly the democratic way of electing our officials? We're just sheep in swayed by parties to vote Democrat or Republican.

Mod parent UP!!!

It's going to be interesting to compare this to AMD's new G-series low power processors. The G-series will have a GPU attached similar to what will go into the PS4 and the XBOX720

The opencl performance really speaks for the direction AMD is going with their APU's in the future. The design of this chip will be directly imbedded into AMD's next generation Kaveri APU where the GPU and CPU share the same cache, which should allow all sorts of crazy performance optimizations in everything from Programming languages http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-and-Oracle-Team-Up-for-Heterogeneous-Computing-on-Java-295882.shtml and databases: http://pbbakkum.com/db/ I know the database link deals with sqlite and CUDA, but that should be SLOW compared to what an AMD Kaveri APU will be able to perform as the latency from a CPU operation to a GPU operation should next to nothing.

I think Heterogenous computing will play a key roll in increasing battery life in the next few years. AMD, ARM and Samsung among others have been working to get an API together that will allow regular code to work on a CPU or a GPU depending on which will perform the best as long as the processor and GPU are on the same piece of silicon and share the same memory cache. Studies (http://pbbakkum.com/db/) have shown that sqlite gets a 15% performance increase (or less power usage per query) by running the database off a GPU, and Oracle (http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-and-Oracle-Team-Up-for-Heterogeneous-Computing-on-Java-295882.shtml) is working on project "Sumatra" which will allow Java applications to get better performance with less power. Tie this in with Samsung creating a new HSA enabled device, and we could see some interesting changes in the phone market!

I am running CyanogenMod-7.2.0, and I have Wifi Calling

So this affects the Wifi Calling App. I wonder if those of us running Cyanogen need to upgrade to a new version of Cyanogen, or just update the Wifi calling app..

If you read further down in the article, you would know that they worked with Intel and were given a patch to fix this issue. Brandon
