Changed blog

Hi guys. Blogger has been giving SO MANY PROBLEMS lately, with not letting me post when I need to, I've decided to migrate to SgDotNet's blog space. All of you can get my blog at http://community.sgdotnet.org/blogs/triplez. Rss Feed and ATOM Feeds are at http://community.sgdotnet.org/blogs/triplez/rss.aspx and http://community.sgdotnet.org/blogs/triplez/atom.aspx respectively. I'll be migrating my entire blog over there this weekend. I hope you guys continue to support me and update your feed links. Thanks!!!

An Object-Aware Memory Architecture

A paper published on February at Sun's site, by Greg Wright, Matthew L. Seidl and Mario Wolczko: An Object-aware memory architecture. Quoting from the abstract:

Despite its dominance, object-oriented computation has received scant attention from the architecture community. We propose a novel memory architecture that supports objects and garbage collection (GC). Our architecture is co-designed with a Java Virtual Machine to improve the functionality and efficiency of heap memory management. The architecture is based on an address space for objects accessed using object IDs mapped by a translator to physical addresses. To support this, the system includes object-addressed caches, a hardware GC barrier to allow in-cache GC of objects, and an exposed cache structure cooperatively managed by the JVM. These extend a conventional architecture, without compromising compatibility or performance for legacy binaries.

Minimizing Applications

I've done this before so many times and I've always forget. It's high time I jot it down. Most of the times during startup applications, I want those applications to start up minimized, and usually these applications will minimize into the tray. So how do I do it? Very simply -

1) Right click on the shortcut
2) Click on Properties
3) Under Shortcut tab, change Run option to "Minimized"

As simple as that. I use it to load my Outlook during startup into the tray, and my Task Manager too! Well, mostly those 2 only. :)

Try it out. Task Manager is a MUST-HAVE during start up.
