State machine workflow - VB.NET

I am creating a very simple state machine class library project in vb.net. This has only 3 states - CreateApplication, ProcessApplication and CompleteApplication. I have an interface created in the same project.I am invoking it from a web application by calling ApplicationService.CreateApplication(obj of ApplicationDetail) <ExternalDat...

How to design this particular finite state machine?

Hey peeps, I am trying to get my head around how to design the following system, which I think can be defined as a finite state machine: Say we have a pile of 16 building blocks (towers, walls, gates) together forming a castle. The player can drag the blocks to 16 places on a floorplan and if done right they will see the whole castle....

C/C++ versus Java/C# in high-performance applications

hello My Question is regarding performance of Java versus compiled code, for example C++/fortran/assembly in high-performance numerical applications. I know this is contentious topic, but I am looking for specific answers/examples. Also community wiki. I have asked similar questions before, but I think I put it broadly and did not get...

High volume SVM (machine learning) system

I working on a possible machine learning project that would be expected to do high speed computations for machine learning using SVM (support vector machines) and possibly some ANN. I'm resonably comfortable working on matlab with these, but primarly in small datasets, just for experimentation. I'm wondering if this matlab based approac...

Learning about the low level

I'm interested in learning more about the PC from a lower (machine) level. I graduated from a school which taught us concepts using the Java language which abstracted out that level almost completely. As a result I only learned a bit from the one required assembly language course. In order to cram in ASM and quite a few details about ar...

How can I create a copy of a vm in vSphere Client running on ESXi 4.0?

I'd like to create copies of the VMs located on my datastore that I can put up temporarily on a different server while I perform some maintenance on our main virtualization server. Aside from using the Converter utility (which I don't believe I can use with the Linux machines) is there a way to make copies of these machines? It would ma...

Machine Dependent versus Machine Independent languages

Why might you want to write a program in a machine independent language instead of a machine- dependent language? Why might a machine-dependent language be more appropriate for writing certain types of programs? ...

Generating classes based on boost state machines

Hello, I am developing a network based server which can potentially have 100s of states and actions/events. So far I have managed with simple switch statements but now feel a need for a state machine which I can configure externally by text/xml file. What is your suggestion for existing C++ state machine which allows me to configure ...

How to quantify your "slow" development machine?

( Please provide the question this one duplicates. I'm disappointed I couldn't find it. ) My development machine is "slow". I wait on it "a lot". I've been asked by decision makers who want to help to fairly and accurately measure that time. How do you quantify the amount of time you spend waiting on the computer (during compiles, w...

SAS on OS X any way to run without working within virtual machine?

I would like to edit and submit SAS code from emacs (aquamacs) on OS X to SAS running on Vista (through Parallels). Any idea how to do this? I like to do everything through one place and it is really annoying to work within the windows emulator. I have run SAS from a linux server through aquamacs but wonder if something similar can ...

Do Windows 7 Logo Client requirements allow an application to read/write in registry (HKLM)?

I read the windows 7 Client Requirements and they don't seem to prohibit from writing in registry (Local Machine key). I have a C# .exe application which reads/writes values in HKLM/Software/Company/Etc (It includes a manifest file and runs as standard-user). When I deploy my application I have to tell the installer to create the key H...

Explaining training method for AdaBoost algorithm

Hi, I'm trying to understand the Haar feature method used for the training step in the AdaBoost algorithm. I don't understand the math that well so I'd appreciate more of a conceptual answer (as much as possible, anyway). Basically, what does it do? How do you choose positive and negative sets for what you want to select? Can it be gener...

How to set up a clean test machine for every test

I want to know if there are any general guidelines that programmers in general and QA in particular follows for setting up a clean test system. The system should be clean every day, free of any unwarranted dependencies (for instance .NET), free of ghosts from previous installs and tests conducted and fairly easy to image and change. An...

The control flow of Dalvik Virtual Machine's application method

Dear Sirs, We are implementing some of the event callbacks of JVMTI ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jvmti/ ) in the Dalvik VM. However, we are having trouble in event Method_Entry and Method_Exit. In our current implementation, we can only intercept the Method_Entry event of the some system initialization methods, including...
