MVP Model 3. The MVP Model 3 was a prototype American "triphibian" light-sport aircraft, displayed in mockup form in 2014. The aircraft was under development by MVP.AERO Inc. (sometimes styled MVP.aero). Its developer has since ceased operations.

The company was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 by father and son Darrell and Michael Lynds and friend Steve Pugh. Its design and engineering team, led by Mike Van Staagen, was based in Duluth, Minnesota, with management and administration in Minneapolis. In January 2016, it was announced that the plane would be built in Brunswick, Maine. Although, by February 2022, the program had been cancelled.

Design and development
The MVP Model 3 was designed to operate on land, water, snow and ice. The floor panels were intended to be rearranged to accommodate fishing or camping. The design would be marketed in several versions, including the E-AB, E-LSA, and S-LSA. The aircraft was a two-seater in side-by-side configuration with a pusher propeller and folding wings, which were to be constructed with carbon-fiber composite spars and covered with fabric. The balance of the airframe was constructed from a combination of carbon fiber and fiberglass. Electric thrusters helped the aircraft maneuver in the water.

The design allowed the canopy to be raised on a four bar system to sit above the engine cowling. This left the cockpit area open for fishing from and can also allow mounting of a tent for camping, with the floor panels inserted. With the canopy fully open the engine was intended to still run for water maneuvering.

The Model 3's lead designer, Mike Van Staagen, is a former Cirrus Aircraft engineer who played a key role in the design and development of the Cirrus Vision SF50 personal jet, as well as the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 composite light aircraft. Cirrus co-founder Alan Klapmeier served on the company's advisory board.

Derek Lawden. Derek Frank Lawden (15 September 1919 – 15 February 2008) was a British-New Zealand mathematician.

Academic career
After reading mathematics at Cambridge University he served in the Royal Artillery and then lectured at the Royal Military College of Science and the College of Advanced Technology Birmingham, where he worked on rocket trajectories and space flight. In 1956 he moved to University of Canterbury as professor. In the 1960s he received a DSc from Cambridge, was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand and won the Hector Medal. He returned to the UK to University of Aston in 1967.

After the World War II, he was the first to register in the literature considerations about the use of gravity assist for space exploration. In his pioneering work on optimal space trajectories in the 1960s, he coined the term "primer vector" to refer to the adjoint variables in the costate equation associated with the velocity vector, pointing out their fundamental connection to optimal thrust.

Prody Parrot. Prody Parrot is a desktop assistant computer program made for the Windows 9x and Windows NT series of operating systems. It was created by Mindmaker in 1999, and acted to help computer users in business environments, whilst still having the facilities to engage and entertain users at home PCs.

Behaviour
Prody, the software's titular parrot, will fly around the screen and offer help where necessary. When he isn't needed, he will either 'perch' on the user's taskbar or on the top of one of the user's windows. The user can engage with Prody through a variety of different methods. Prody was designed to incorporate business functions as well, such as searching the stock market. Bundled with the software is a version of Creative Labs' Dr. Sbaitso program, integrated into the Prody Parrot software.

Dark silicon. In the electronics industry, dark silicon is the amount of circuitry of an integrated circuit that cannot be powered-on at the nominal operating voltage for a given thermal design power (TDP) constraint.

Dennard scaling would posit that as transistors get smaller, they become more efficient in proportion to the increase in number for a given area, but this scaling has broken down in recent years, meaning that increases in the efficiency of smaller transistors are not proportionate with the increase in their number. This discontinuation of scaling has led to sharp increases in power density that hamper powering-on all transistors simultaneously while keeping temperatures in a safe operating range.

As of 2011, researchers from different groups have projected that, at 8 nm technology nodes, the amount of dark silicon may reach up to 50–80% depending upon the processor architecture, cooling technology, and application workloads. Dark silicon may be unavoidable even in server workloads with abundance of inherent client request-level parallelism.

Challenges and opportunities
The emergence of dark silicon introduces several challenges for the architecture, electronic design automation (EDA), and hardware-software co-design communities. These include the question of how best to utilize the plethora of transistors (with potentially many dark ones) when designing and managing energy-efficient on-chip many-core processors under peak power and thermal constraints. Architects have initiated several efforts to leverage dark silicon in designing application-specific and accelerator-rich architectures.

Recently, researchers have explored how dark silicon exposes new challenges and opportunities for the EDA community. In particular, they have demonstrated thermal, reliability (soft error and aging), and process variation concerns for dark silicon many-core processors.

Sage Weil. Sage Weil (born March 17, 1978) is the founder and chief architect of Ceph, a distributed storage platform. He also was the creator of WebRing, a co-founder of Los Angeles–based hosting company DreamHost, and the founder and CTO of Inktank. Weil now works for Red Hat as the chief architect of the Ceph project.

Weil earned a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Harvey Mudd College in 2000 and completed his PhD in 2007 at the University of California, Santa Cruz working with Prof. Scott Brandt on consistency protocols, data distribution (CRUSH), and the metadata manager in the Ceph distributed file system. In 2014, he won an O'Reilly Open Source Award.

WebRing 

In May 1994, Weil developed a script based on work by Denis Howe and Giraldo Hierro that became the technology behind WebRing. Weil launched WebRing in June 1995 and eventually sold it to Starseed, Inc. in 1997.

DreamHost 

As an undergraduate, Weil worked with fellow Harvey Mudd College students Dallas Bethune, Josh Jones, and Michael Rodriguez to build DreamHost. The site was registered and began hosting customers’ sites in 1997. DreamHost incubated and eventually spun off Inktank.

Inktank 

In 2011, Weil co-founded Inktank with (CEO) Bryan Bogensberger as the CTO and technical architect. Inktank was a professional services and support company for the open source Ceph file system. The company was initially funded by DreamHost and later supplemented by Mark Shuttleworth. On 30 April 2014, it was announced that Red Hat would acquire Inktank Storage for $175 Million.

318th Operations Support Squadron. The United States Air Force's  318th Operations Support Squadron is an operations support squadron located at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas.

Mission
The mission of the 318th Squadron is to "Deliver relevant, validated, tactics, intelligence, and synchronized capabilities to cyberspace warfighters while providing mission support throughout the 688th Cyberspace Wing."

History
The squadron was first activated at Columbia Army Air Base, South Carolina on 1 May 1943 as the 318th Airdrome Squadron. The squadron provided support to the 309th Bombardment Group, a Replacement Training Unit that trained replacement aircrews using B-25 Mitchell aircraft. However, the AAF was finding that standard military units, based on relatively inflexible tables of organization were proving less well adapted to performing the training and support missions.  Accordingly, a more functional system was adopted in which each base was organized into a separate numbered unit. As a result, in 1944, the squadron was disbanded and merged into the 329th Army Air Force Base Unit (Replacement Training Unit, Medium, Bombardment).

The squadron was reactivated in 2011, replacing the 23d Information Operations Squadron as the support organization for the 318th Information Operations Group.

Lineage
 Constituted as the 318th Airdrome Squadron (Special) c. 13 April 1943
 Activated on 1 May 1943
 Disbanded on 1 May 1944
 Reconstituted on 10 November 2011 and redesignated 318th Operations Support Squadron

Arm MAP. Arm MAP, is an application profiler produced by Allinea Software now part of Arm. of Warwick, United Kingdom, for profiling the performance of C, C++, Fortran 90 and Python software. It is widely used for its multithreaded and multiprocess capabilities such as profiling parallel Message Passing Interface (MPI) or OpenMP  applications, including those running on clusters of Linux machines, and for scalar (sequential) code.

Profiler
It is one of the first profilers able to both analyze and visually display the performance when running at high scales (including many thousands of cores). Arm MAP is also being used to examine applications that are preparing to scale to 1 ExaFLOP/s

The profiler uses adaptive sampling methods to identify process counters and activities and combines data from multiple processes that may be running on multiple compute server nodes. It analyzes performance and causes of bottlenecks including:

 Processor instruction level - identifying issues such as memory bandwidth, or lack of floating-point vectorization
 Memory usage
 I/O
 Communication - such as MPI
 Threads
 Energy usage and power

This enables developers to identify hotspots and areas of potential improvement.

The tool is scalable - and merges performance data using the scalable architecture first used in Arm DDT to debug Petascale (typically over 100,000 processes).  Arm MAP shares a common user interface with Arm DDT which together makes the Arm Forge tool suite.  This is widely used by research scientists and developers of parallel scientific applications.

The Arm MAP profiler is used on large supercomputers and also smaller clusters or workstations. Sites with installations include National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), University of Cambridge and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Monte Ceneri Rail Tunnel. The Monte Ceneri Rail Tunnel is a railway tunnel in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The tunnel is situated under the Monte Ceneri Pass that separates the north of the canton around Bellinzona from the south of the canton around Lugano. It forms part of the Swiss Federal Railways Gotthard line, between  Giubiasco and Rivera-Bironico stations. The tunnel comprises two bores, built at different times. The first bore, sometimes known as Monte Ceneri I, was opened on 10 April 1882 and is  in length. The second bore, Monte Ceneri II, was opened on 18 October 1933 and is  in length. Both bores carry a single standard gauge () track electrified at 15 kV AC 16 2/3 Hz using overhead catenary.

The rail tunnel is paralleled by the Monte Ceneri Road Tunnel, carrying the A2 motorway under the same pass. The Ceneri Base Tunnel has recently been completed beneath the pass at a much lower level.
