Are there any good university-affiliated incubators? | JoeAltmaier: Spent two years in the basement of an old TB hospital, the local university "incubator", hitting my head on ancient steam pipes wrapped in "Danger: Asbestos!" tape.

Are there any good university-affiliated incubators? | jseifer: The UCF/Disney incubator was pretty good when I went through it. They require you to take a (8 or 12 week, I don't remember) course that goes through every aspect of starting a business. One thing to note about this is that it's not specifically tech oriented.

Soft failures on CPUs ? | cperciva: There have been many studies that look at error rates on hard disks and in DRAM, are there similar studies about how often CPUs hickup?I don't know of any published results, but anecdotal reports I've heard from the supercomputing community are in the range of one error per 10-100 CPU years on well-maintained... |
Soft failures on CPUs ? | frig: No hard data on actual rates but you may find this interesting:http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2108You might find upper bounds by talking to people who build space-hardened systems. |
Soft failures on CPUs ? | graphene: Something that might have something to do with this is the difference between the DRAM in RAM and the SRAM on the CPU die. On DRAM, the bit is stored as a charge on a capacitor, which is (apparently) susceptible to cosmic ray bit-flipping.
Perhaps SRAM is less delicate in that regard? |
