   models these drives employ SandForce's controller technology. We bought
   all three capacities and ran our tests on them."

NSF Workshop on Social Networks and Mobility in the Cloud
February 23, 2012 - February 24, 2012
http://dmlab.cs.umn.edu/SocialMobileCloud/index.html

General information
"Social network, mobility and the cloud represent special and unique
opportunities for synergy among several existing and emerging
communities that are now often evolving in isolated silos. .....
....The potential for cross fertilization among these three areas
of important research will drive much of the research in academia,
and the products in industry. It is therefore critical
that researchers develop a coherent vision for these new directions
to address a set of diverse topics including designing and
developing algorithms for large-scale query analysis of mobile
and social data on the cloud, designing a cloud-based transactional
model for mobile and social network applications, data storage
in the cloud, security and privacy of mobile and social network
applications on the cloud, and addressing the unique characteristics
of both mobile and social network applications, e.g., data streaming
and spatial data, on the cloud environment."

https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/dtrace_for_oracle_linux_news

"A new set of RPM packages of our port of DTrace for Linux has just been
   published on the Unbreakable Linux Network. This is another beta release of
   our ongoing development effort to bring the DTrace framework to Linux.

   This release includes the following changes:"

   *)The packages are now based on the final public release of
     the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 (2.6.39). ...
   *)Based on the feedback we received from some users in how their
     applications interact with dtrace, libdtrace is now
     a shared library. ...
