We named the project as Organic Chemistry VR Way The team The team comprises of i)Manisha Biswas ii)Avirup Basu iii)Risab Biswas and iv) I (Abhishek Nandy) Key Considerations The first and the foremost thing is to get going with Mixed Reality in Windows Environment the app needs to be Windows UWP app. The project needs to be compiled in Visual Studio so that we can generate the solution file or the project file to be deployed as and UWP. The project approach since we are targeting solution and an approach to Organic Chemistry we are working on the ways we can integrate those reactions easily. First our approach will be to take an example of Benzene ring and build solutions from it.

The Work Isolation Functionality in Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB)

Nowadays, almost all software developers work with multi-threaded CPUs, and so have to face and solve parallel programming problems. The majority of these problems, such as parallel execution, synchronization, and data races, are well known. The paradigm of task parallelism abstracts low-level thread management with high level parallel constructs to reduce the number of problems to manage. However, it cannot solve all the problems automatically and some peculiarities still need to be considered.

MeshCentral2 - Installer's Guide, Windows7 and more.

MeshCentral is an open source web based remote computer management web site. In the last few weeks we got the code a lot more stable and started working on testing installation of MeshCentral in many more environments. The current version is MeshCentral is v0.1.9-f. One of the interesting design decision was to build the entire server in NodeJS, this allows MeshCentral to quickly be installed and run on many different platforms including Windows and Linux. Last week, in addition to the existing MeshCentral User’s Guide, we published an all new MeshCentral Installer’s Guide that allows administrators to install MeshCentral on many different operating systems, on your own computers or major cloud providers. In other news, we added support for the MeshAgent on Windows7 which is probably one of the leading requests. Here is a look at everything in detail:
