Chipping in for a “greener” future, Frito-Lay North America’s snack manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Ariz., is the company’s first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold snack unit—a remarkable achievement in its own right. But the plant, which Frito-Lay calls its Near Net Zero project showcase, is also the result of a highly ambitious sustainability project that took the location “off the grids,” running primarily on renewable energy sources and recycled water, while producing zero landfill waste. The plant could be the most sustainable food production facility of its kind in the U.S.

Implementing performance monitors in your app is very helpful for profiling, debugging and general satisfaction of the more qualified endusers. It's also a non-trivial excercise, to put it mildly. Microsoft have done their part in making it obscure and hard to use, so naturally, we can't leave it alone, can we? This particular implementation only implements raw and delta counters, but that covers almost anything you'll ever need. The basis is there for other types of counters, though, such as instance based counters and high-precision. Both precompiled and full project source is available.

Ce n'est un secret pour personne, les performances des processeurs Arrow Lake-S ont été décevantes. Dans nos tests des 245K et 285K et même 265K, les mesures ont révélé que les performances n'étaient pas à la hauteur de nos espérances et d'autant plus en Gaming, ou le 14900K était souvent devant, tout comme pas mal de puces AMD d'ailleurs. Mais il semblerait qu'un grand nombre de facteurs puissent expliquer ces performances décevantes. […]
