Chris,
I have been doing much research on CUDA and Microsoft's Task Parallel Library. In the near near future I will be writing articles on how to write Massively Parallel Applications using CUDA and TPL. Is there any way you could add a category for Massively Parallel code or CUDA/TPL? Intel also has an architecture for parallel code generation but I will not be using that.
Nvidia will soon be releasing the next version of their GPU 'Fermi', which is really a quantum leap in GPU technology. Additionally they have released a beta product for integration with Visual Studio 2010 for debugging CUDA Kernels, I am on the beta list and would also like to write articles about this topic. As is there is no place to put the articles except in the general 'c' language or general topic.
I recently finished a book published by Nvidia on Massively Parallel Programming - A Hand Guide. It was very informative and I have a book review in the works already. I should complete that this week, and assign it to the usual Book Review category. Although the current method of achieving maximum memory to GPU through put is a limiting factor, the book explains many methods for optimizing the kernel code so it runs at near maximum capacity. And the code is not as complicated as one may think.
I think some examples and articles on how to make use of this technology would attract many developers and engineers to adopting these techniques in their existing systems. Although most of the applications are scientific, I have an article to show how to create a search engine that processes queries to XML data in parallel, this would benefit many, and might attract even more people to using GPU's to process huge data sets in parallel or calculations that would otherwise take too long with out such optimizations. There is actually a wealth of information on parallel algorithms, which are completely different from the norm, I would like to demonstrate some of the not so 'Black Art' techniques.
Let me know your thoughts!

How about a "Parallel Programming" section under "General Programming"? Would that work?
I used to do a lot of parellel programming way-back-when and I'm so glad to see it hitting mainstream. Looking forward to your articles.

Sounds good to me! What about adding CUDA to the list of languages?

But it gets translated to lowercase when the *s are applied
|
|
|
|
|
do you want an upper-case '*'?

Well that would be nice. Failing that, having the letters surrounding the '*' uppercase would be good.

PHUQ!
QUNT!

BOLLOCKS! (I see that one slips under the radar).

wrapping in *'s is the traditional plaintext way of indicating bold.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Two solutions
1. don't swear.
(OK, not a solution really...)
2. Self-censor in uppercase, for #$%!'s sake.
(see how I swore in all caps? Easy!)

Should the link to the CP search bar (on the CP stuff page) be removed as its not working anyway?

Not sure if these kind of threads allowed or not. I don't think so!
Short survey for developers[^]
iff allowed, atleast not the right forum (Q&A)!

You must be right because this thread does not appear to exist anymore...
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.

I'm getting this a lot:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </link>.
Location: http:
Line Number 143, Column 3:</head>
--^
Refreshing helps - It's seems it can happen to any page (on the codeproject) at any time.

Participant says 1 point for signing in.
Does that mean a member must sign out and in again to get it?
I see no movement even though I am here every day.
But I do not sign in each time, I autoconnect and am already signed in.
I would have thought there would be black body radiation, one point added for the first post of the day on the participant total.
Is this the case, am I mistaken or is it a bug?

What if you login, don't post a message, hang around, read a few articles and log out?

Theoretically possible, however, not very DD-like.

"Signing in, for instance, means..." can be found in the latest, much improved, rep FAQ.

I autoconnect as well and for me the point gets added at about 3pm local time (midnight in Ontario).

I always thought login points might have something to do with it being 12:00 AM in Ontario

Yeah, I only noticed when exactly the other day.
Until CP introduces IP based geolocation it makes sense that the "day" used for login points would be standardised on a single location, in this case the data center.

GMT is the usual global time.
As it is a global site, perhaps Zulu should be adopted.

Nope you don't need to sign in and out each day. We only limit this event from occurring more than once per day for any particular member. However, if you have an active session across two days we would not record two sign-ins. Though I doubt anyone is really that involved with the site.

Chris, I'd like one of my programs to access a person's personal page on CP through his user ID.
IIRC the user ID used to be the normal way to link a Who's Who list to a personal page, something like
http:
but then some time ago you have changed the Who's Who listings to use the friendly names.
The mid approach still works most of the time, e.g. it works well when typed in tbe browser's address box. However it typically fails (over 60%) when executing a Process.Start(url) and the default browser (FF3.0 on my Vista system) isn't running yet. It typically succeeds (say 90% of the time) when the browser is already running. Same when IE7 is default browser.
As a minor issue, having very short userID numbers (such as 1) makes it fail even inside the browser; prefixing some zeroes solves that one though.
When it doesn't work, what I get is a CP page saying:
Welcome to the Code Project
Your place for free C++, C# and .NET articles, code snippets, discussions, news and the best bunch of developers on the net.
Page Not Found
Unfortunately the page, image or download you are looking for is not on our servers. Can you please recheck your URL or try searching again from our homepage.
I'm a bit puzzled here; could you please help me out. My next article depends on it.
TIA
