Acer Aspire 8920G


The Acer Aspire 8920G 934G64Bn is a gaming notebook, and we expect high performance of this laptop, especially when playing games. The least powerful 8920G is equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo “Merom” CPU with 2.0 GHz. Furthermore, there are a T8300 CPU and a T9300 “Penryn” processor available. Our sample notebook provides an Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU.

The Intel T9300 Penryn processor offers 2.5 GHz and 6 MB L2 cache. Therefore, this CPU is more powerful than Merom processors with the same speed. Acer uses graphics by Nvidia. The GeForce 9500M GS or Geforce 9650M GS with 512 MB GDDR3 video RAM is installed. This graphics is the successor of the GeForce 8700M GT graphics, which is installed in gaming laptops. Acer includes much RAM in the 8920G. Every available model of the Aspire 8920G offers 4096 MB RAM. The operating system uses only a little bit more than 3 GB, because the notebooks are equipped with 32 bit Windows Vista Home Premium / Ultimate.

The laptop is also equipped with much hard disk space, because Acer included two 320 GB hard disks. The Western Digital HDD's provide a total disk size of 640 GB. Pre-installed software, recovery data and the operating system needs an essential part of it. The 5.400 rpm hard drive reached in the HDTune performance test lovely transfer rates and access time. Price of this notebook is £1,191.46

Panasonic DMC-FX37, LX3, FX150 and FZ28


Panasonic launch the new variant from Lumix series. That is DMC-FX37, LX3, FX150 and FZ28

The FX37 has 25mm ultra wide angle Leica lens and 5x optical zoom captures almost double the viewing area at the same shooting distance as a regular 35mm snapper.It also features AF tracking, which locks onto your subject's face and follows it around the frame that can capture natural, non-staged portraits without blur.  A snip at £250.

The LX3 has a new CCD, promising greatly enhanced image quality. It also has a customised functions setting, that lets you assign a function to a button on the back, for quickly doing what you like to do.

The FX150, meanwhile, packs in an almost indecent 14 megapixels, letting you print massively with no drop in quality. For a compact, that's pretty bloody impressive, we think you'll agree. It also has the face-following AF tracking. For you sir? £300.

The FZ28 has an 18x optical zoom. And that's upgradable to 32x with the Extra Optical Zoom function, although that will degrade your snaps to 3-megapixels. It can also take 13 shots a second. It'll cost £330.

Panasonic HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100


Not content with unleashing four ace new cameras, Panasonic has also lifted the lid on two new camcorders. And they're world firsts. Both the HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 are the first to use Panasonic's new CMOS system, making for great colour reproduction and image quality even in low light.

Based on CCD technology, it processes red, green and blue components of light separately, meaning truer reproductions on your movies. The HS-100 has a 60GB hard drive, or you can record to SD card. The SD100 is without hard drive. This gadget will be available in September, so get ready to film in HD then.

About Gadget

GADGET is a freely available code for cosmological N-body/SPH simulations on massively parallel computers with distributed memory. GADGET uses an explicit communication model that is implemented with the standardized MPI communication interface. The code can be run on essentially all supercomputer systems presently in use, including clusters of workstations or individual PCs. GADGET computes gravitational forces with a hierarchical tree algorithm (optionally in combination with a particle-mesh scheme for long-range gravitational forces) and represents fluids by means of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). The code can be used for studies of isolated systems, or for simulations that include the cosmological expansion of space, both with or without periodic boundary conditions. In all these types of simulations, GADGET follows the evolution of a self-gravitating collisionless N-body system, and allows gas dynamics to be optionally included. Both the force computation and the time stepping of GADGET are fully adaptive, with a dynamic range which is, in principle, unlimited.


GADGET can therefore be used to address a wide array of astrophysically interesting problems, ranging from colliding and merging galaxies, to the formation of large-scale structure in the Universe. With the inclusion of additional physical processes such as radiative cooling and heating, GADGET can also be used to study the dynamics of the gaseous intergalactic medium, or to address star formation and its regulation by feedback processes. Features Hierarchical multipole expansion (based on a geometrical oct-tree) for gravitational forces. Optional TreePM method, where the tree is used for short-range gravitational forces only while long-range forces are computed with a FFT-based particle-mesh (PM) scheme. A second PM layer can be placed on a high-resolution region in 'zoom'-simulations. Periodic boundary conditions, either by means of the Ewald summation technique or based on the FFT algorithm used in the TreePM scheme. Simulations that only follow gas dynamics without self-gravity can be run in periodic boxes with arbitrary aspect ratios, and also in 2D, if desired.

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics with fully adaptive smoothing lengths and a novel entropy conserving formulation of SPH. Signal-velocity parameterisation of the artificial viscosity, as suggested by Monaghan. Individual timesteps for all particles. In the TreePM scheme, long-range and short-range forces are integrated with different timesteps. Work-load balanced domain decomposition and dynamic tree updates. Efficient cell-opening criteria for the gravitational tree-walk. Support for parallel I/O and a number of different output formats, including the HDF5 format. Flexible control of all code options by a free-format parameterfile. Portable, well documented and easily extendible code, relying only on standard ANSI C language features and MPI-1.0 communication calls. High raw computational speed and comparatively low memory consumption. In particular, significant improvements in resource consumption compared with GADGET-1 have been achieved. The code may be run on an arbitrary number of processors, with a restriction to powers of two. It may also be run on a single CPU in serial mode. Fast method for the generation of a gravitational `glass'. SPH simulations can be run in periodic boxes of arbitrary aspect ratio, or in 2D, if desired. There have also been older versions of the code that supported the special-purpose hardware GRAPE, in the form of GRAPE-3 and GRAPE-6.

However, this functionality is not included in the current version at the moment. Authors and History GADGET has been written by Volker Springel over the last couple of years. The first public version (GADGET-1, released in March 2000), was created as part of Volker's PhD project at the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics, Garching, Germany, under the supervision of Simon White. Later, the code was continuously impoved during postdocs of Volker Springel at the CfA and the MPA, in collaboration with Simon White and Lars Hernquist. The second public version (GADGET-2, released in May 2005), contains most of these improvements, except the numerous physics modules developed for the code that go beyond gravity and ordinary gas-dynamics. The first versions of the code in 1998 were originally designed for serial machines only, targeting primarily problems of galaxy collisions and interactions, which explains GADGET's somewhat contrived acronym. The parallel tree code was also developed during the year 1998, with the first parallel version of SPH added during the end of 1999. For the latter part, Naoki Yoshida (at the time another PhD-student at MPA) joined Volker Springel's efforts, and helped developing and testing the parallel SPH algorithms. In 2001-2003, GADGET-2 was created. The new code forms a nearly complete rewrite of GADGET-1, including a replacement of all core algorithms with new methods. The most important changes lie in a new time integration model, a new tree-code module, a new communication scheme for gravitational and SPH forces, a new domain decomposition strategy, a novel SPH formulation based on entropy as indepedent variable, and finally, in the addition of the TreePM functionality. Acknowledgments The author acknowledges many helpful discussions he had with Simon White, Lars Hernquist, Naoki Yoshida, Klaus Dolag, Liang Gao, Martin Jubelgas, Debora Sijacki, Christoph Pfrommer, Stefano Borgani, Martin White, Adrian Jenkins, Jasjeet Bagla, Matthias Steinmetz, and Julio Navarro.
