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.
