(InfoWorld) - New software from startup PeakStreamÂ is aimed at unleashing the power in the latest generation of multicore processors. The PeakStream Platform, introduced on Monday, is designed to make programming processors easier and faster so that the high-performance computing market can take full advantage of the latest powerful processors like multicore CPUs, GPUs (graphics processor units) and cell processors. Without the software, PeakStream says that developers struggle to program the chips in a way that enables full use of the speed available in them. The software employs stream programming, an approach to high performance computing programming designed for the distributed, hierarchical memories of the latest multicore processors. To use the software, developers must learn the PeakStream API (application programming interface) and then build applications using standard development tools. Developers running RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 update 3 on an Advanced Micro Devices Opteron or Intel Xeon workstation with supported GPUs can use PeakStream. Interested customers can evaluate the software now. It will be generally available in the fourth quarter. In addition to enabling developers to use the full capabilities of chips, the software can also help speed up and reduce the costs of the development process, PeakStream said. PeakStream was founded last year by executives from Sun Microsystems, Nvidia, VMware, and Network Appliance. They noticed a demand from computer engineers and scientists for a quicker way to design and operate computationally intense applications using high performance chips. The company is targeting specific industries including energy exploration, finance, defense and research/academia. PeakStream also announced on Monday that it has raised $17 million in new funding that it will use in the introduction of the new software.

We turned off share.opml.org yesterday, for good, as far as I know. It was a good idea, but we never got it together to make it the powerhouse I wanted it to be.  Now that Google and Bloglines both have discovery mechanisms for feeds that you might like, based on what you and others like, there would only be a future for SYO if it were a thriving and growing community, and it isn't.  Normally, I'd leave a site like that running indefinitely, but this one needed its own server, and I wanted to cut my server expenses now that my S3 bill is going up, serving some very big JPEGs and generally being the back-end for a community that is growing, the people using FlickrFan. If there's a big demand to bring it back, we can -- but that's going to require cash flow to go with it. At this point, I don't think it's a good investment for me. Still diggin!

The Motley Fool - It's no secret that Internet frenzy 2.0 has included a fair share of small Web start-ups getting bought out by Internet giants. Yahoo!'s (Nasdaq: YHOO - News) reported interest in buying social networking site Facebook last week is yet another case in point. However, craigslist founder Craig Newmark went on the record saying he's not in the least bit interested in a buyout. And guess what -- nobody should be in the least bit surprised.

Matt Terenzio: "Why we wouldn't use XMPP as the basis for a decentralized microblogging platform?" Good question. I'd like to play with some simple systems on XMPP. I tried to get started with some scripts connecting to Google's Jabber server over the weekend but wasn't able to get a conversation going. I'll try again soon.
