Drupal 7 EOL and how long will Drupal 9 be Supported

How long will Drupal 9 be supported.  Currently, it is 2023. This is a crucial question for Drupal site owners and builders. While that may seem like a long time away, upgrading from Drupal 8 to 9 is relatively easy compared to previous upgrades from Drupal 5 to 6 and 6 to Drupal 7.

Where does this leave the Drupal 7 sites that still need to be upgraded to Drupal 9? The year is 2022, and Drupal 7 continues to be supported for a bit longer to help developers and owners with the upgrade process.

Drupal 8 and 9 have really come into their own in recent years. Drupal 8 offered significant enhancements compared to Drupal 7, and the contributed modules are looking promising for the future of Drupal.

Getting back into parallel computing with Apache Spark

Returning to parallel computing with Apache Spark has been insightful, especially observing the increasing mainstream adoption of the McColl and Valiant BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) model beyond GPUs. This structured approach to parallel computation, with its emphasis on synchronized supersteps, offers a practical framework for diverse parallel architectures.While setting up Spark on clusters can involve effort and introduce overhead, ongoing optimizations are expected to enhance its efficiency over time. Improvements in data handling, memory management, and query execution aim to streamline parallel processing.A GitHub repository for Spark snippets has been created as a resource for practical examples. As Apache Spark continues to evolve in parallel with the HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), this repository intends to showcase solutions leveraging their combined strengths for scalable data processing.

Discovering ORCID.org and Revisiting My ( Darrell Ulm )Research in Parallel Processing and Associative Computing

ORCid.org is a research publication database (mine: Darrell Ulm)  I recently came across ORCID.org, a platform that\helps researchers organize and present their scholarly work in a structured and reliable way. It surprised me that I had not used it earlier because it offers a level of control and clarity that is incredibly useful when managing decades of publications. As I began adding my research history, I found myself reflecting on the themes that have shaped my work in parallel processing, associative computing, and algorithmic problem solving. It felt a bit like rediscovering old tools in a workshop that I somehow forgot I built. A Look Back at My Research Contributions Much of my work has focused on high performance computing, data parallelism, and innovative approaches to classic optimization problems. ORCID gave me a chance to revisit these contributions and understand how they fit together across time. Parallel and Distributed Processing Several of my publications appeared...
