      <description>I&amp;rsquo;ve developed a small cuda/openCL wrapper library for the Brutus Cluster.
The code is hosted at github and should work with cuda 4.x and ATI/AMDs OpenCL implementation.
How does it work? Simply LD_PRELOAD libfairydust.so (export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libfairydust.so) and start &amp;lsquo;fairyd.pl&amp;rsquo;. The library works by &amp;lsquo;hijacking&amp;rsquo; some cuda/opencl calls:
Do i need it? Unless you are running a cluster: no. Libfairydust only makes sense while used in combination with a batchsystem, such as LSF.</description>

      <title>Bittorrent specification mess</title>

      <description>I am the author of a (rather unpopular ;-)) BitTorrent client called Bitflu and started to notice that the protocol specification went from &amp;lsquo;very good&amp;rsquo; to &amp;lsquo;bad&amp;rsquo; in the last few months. Sometimes there are undocumented features/extensions, sometimes it&amp;rsquo;s just hard to find the location of the documentation.
This small page attempts to collect and extend the BitTorrent protocol documentation.
Bencoding All clients need to implement some encoding called Bencoding (it&amp;rsquo;s like a binary form of XML).</description>
