What every programmer should know about memory

This LWN large article looks like a very interesting read (specially for people like me that have a very vague idea about modern memory systems):
Ulrich Drepper recently approached us asking if we would be interested in publishing a lengthy document he had written on how memory and software interact. We did not have to look at the text for long to realize that it would be of interest to many LWN readers. Memory usage is often the determining factor in how software performs, but good information on how to avoid memory bottlenecks is hard to find. This series of articles should change that situation.
The original document prints out at over 100 pages. We will be splitting it into about seven segments, each run 1-2 weeks after its predecessor. Once the entire series is out, Ulrich will be releasing the full text.
The full paper in PDF format is also available.
RSS feed (and other problems) fixed

After moving my home page (and this blog) from home to a proper (VPS) hosting, there were some problems because I have to migrate from Apache to LIGHTTPD.
The RSS feed was affected, so if you read this blog using an aggregator, you probably didn't received any updates in the last weeks. I also fixed some other problems that made the feed not W3C valid. Fortunately now it is. =)
