A recent addition to dwsDataBase is the DataBasePool static class.
As the names indicates, it facilitates pooling database connections from the script-side, while previously you had to rely on Delphi or driver-side pooling (or lack of).
Inspired by a recent question by Bruce McGee in the Delphi non-tech forum, here are a couple of mini-polls.
Who purchase the Delphi you use?
Do you use Delphi for work, hobby or both?
Happy new Year to all!
The fractals.dwscript.net is now launched to host the results of the recent Mandelbrot TeraPixel experiment. It’s a small website to centralizes browser, documentations, links and downloads.
There was also news of a FireMonkey client for the data set API.
The Christmas Mandelbrot Experiment is now nearing has achieved completion of Level 13, or a Four Terapixel image!
This will be the end of the experiment (at least temporarily) as the server is running out of storage space 🙂
As a step up from the previous Mandelbrot Set explorer, I’m running a Terapixel image experience for DWScript Christmas 2013.
This is again on the Mandelbrot set, and involves a massive step up in complexity from the previous version, this one isn’t just server-side computed, it’s “Grid Computed” 🙂 (more…)
I recently posted abut the new Slim R/W Locks introduced with Vista, and how they were vastly more efficient than TMREWS.
Apparently, they’re also more efficient than Critical Sections…
My small utility that gives binary size statistics from the Map file just got updated to version 1.5
This updates improves statistics gathered and reported for DCU file sizes, and introduces a small speedup.
Here are a few findings on Multi-Read Exclusive-Write Synchronizer from a recent upgrade of DWScript‘s GlobalVar functions.
I ran some comparisons between a plain Critical Section, Delphi’s TMultiReadExclusiveWriteSynchronizer and Windows Slim Reader/Writer Lock, of which an implementation was added to the dwsXPlatform unit.
