[compsoc-announce] Transitive! Tonight only!

[Will Thompson]

Looking at the last few days' worth of emails lying around, I see a
pattern emerging: announcements of events are quickly followed by
reminders for those same events!  I think it may be time to jump on the
bandwagon.

Be astounded!  Be amazed!  For one night only, we bring you the final
Compsoc talk this term:

Hardware Virtualization Technology
==================================

Date: Wednesday 29th November
Time: 20:00
Place: Denis Sciama Lecture Theatre, Denys Wilkinson Building
                                                             
    Martyn Spink and Geraint North will speak about Transitive[0]'s
    QuickTransit®[1] technology, which allows software compiled for one
    processor and operating system to run transparently on a different 
    processor and operating system without recompilation or patching.
    The most famous use of this technology is probably Apple's       
    Rosetta[2], which allows applications compiled for PowerPC Macs to
    run on the new Intel-based Macs. Martyn and Geraint will show this
    in action as well as demonstrating another use of the technology.
