Study the best CS courses in the next 6 months to become something entire different

I got too many message asking me to publish the courses that we plan to give the people who accepted in Kngine University. Most of the courses are not public and it was designed for our need so it will not be super useful.

Therefore I designed two study tracks:

1. Large Scale Data Storage and Processing and Machine Learning
2. AI and NLP

Each track will take from 5 to 6 months depend on your performance, but all the courses are from best CS schools like: Stanford (ranked 2), MIT (ranked 1), and Indian universities (all of them are member of the top 50) the tracks will be great start for your future.

In each track you will re-learn the foundation of CS, Mathematics, and even the Scientific Method of thinking and it also have personality development & general reading section, the track will require 5 to 7 hours each day. Those tracks is designed only for the people who are badly want to become something entire different, do not cancel a lecture. who will study those courses right will have greater chance to join top tier companies like Kngine, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Ask, etc.

By the way you still can apply in Kngine University (Here)!

الثورة

لم تكن احدث يناير وفبراير والتي تعرف باسم ثورة 25 يناير كافية بالاطاحة بالنظام الفاسد, حيث ان النظام الفاسد يسكن عقولنا وقلوبنا, فعلى الجميع أن يقوم بتطهير نفسه دون انتظار لاخرين

ثم عليه بالبحث عن العلم والمعرفة والتعلم لمواجهة الجهل المتعمق في نفوس الاغلبية الساحقة

Kngine Computer Scientist / World-Class Engineer School

About week ago, we openned this position Software Engineer III - General @ Kngine. The Requirements are to be able to work at least 70 hours a week (about 12 hours a day), learning quickly, have strong mathematics, and coding in two languages one of them should be C#.

In this week we got over 50 persons who want to join in this position!

So what this position is all about and why we asking for at least 12 hours a day?

We are creating a team for special people who can afford to work this amount of time to: Study (60% of the time) and Work (40% of the time). This team will study Computer Sciences, Mathematics and Logic from scratch to grow as World-Class Engineers, Researcher then Computer Scientists.

But of course this position will be tough, and it’s only for who can afford it and who are badly want to be part of Kngine and badly want to be World-Class Engineer and Scientist.

Why?

Honestly I don’t like the engineering quality in Egypt, as for small example: The average CS student in India reads 4 to 6 books per semester aside his university books (so s/he at least reads 30 books aside the university books in four years school). The Doctors/Teachers quality is need more some work. Also Egyptian student do not work in open source project which big thing.

So I decided to take an action to help a few people in way that also helps Kngine.

How Much is Equal

How much Arabian equal one Israeli OR How much Israeli equal one Arabian? 

How we should calculate this, well I believe it should be based on the total contribution of the people in everything: Science, Healthy, Economy, Technology, Culture, Education, etc.

After doing the math I come to the conclusion that every one Israeli equal 5 million Arabian - Yes collect 5 million Arabian and they overall contribution to the human being present and future equal one Israeli contribution.

Someone could say: Arabian have a lot of illiteracy, my response is: Bullshit. Instead of saying that, ask yourself did you done anything about it?

However if we excluded the illiteracy, the number will be ~3 Million Arabian equal one Israeli

If this post hurt your feeling, so you might start work. Or you can continue deny the facts.

AMD Bulldozer Micro-Architecture

After I read the details of this new architecture, I was too disappointed. Actually I was disappointed about it more than Intel P4.

And let me set it clear to AMD: You have failed.

If you like to read more about it you can go to:

What should be done:

• Focus on improve the single thread performance.
• 4 int execution unit is too little, specially due the fact that the single thread performance is pathetic. You have to increase them to 6 and improve the IPC of each one seriously.
• Hand craft everything, guys you can’t relay on automation tools, because it make the chip 20% bigger and 20 slower. while you need every mm for the profit margin and you need every performance we can get. CPU is not GPU so you can’t use the same tools. Plus the main reason DECAlpha was faster than anything exists is because the team was hand-craft every transistor to get the best out of it.
• The amount of decoder is joke, it’s even can’t keep up with Thuban or Sandy Bridge, so you have to make it 5-wide and add instruction cache (like Sandy Bridge) which will end up something better than 20-wide decoder but it will stall less than Sandy Bridge 6 core.
• Branch Prediction have to improved too much, it’s one of the most important thing for IPC and due the fact that the pipeline is too deep you have to focus on this.
• Improve the gate delay even more, and reduce the pipeline depth 2 stages.
• The Single thread performance should reach at least 1.3 in Cinebench benchmark.
• Redesign the cache system and memory controller, to archive latency like: 4, 12, 25, 150
• Increase the L1 cache to Thuban size
• Die area is big, so improve the single thread performance will improve the overall performance, which will allows AMD to sell it’s 8-core system at higher price (400$), 6-core (250$), 2-core (150 > 200)
• Next version of Bulldozer (2012 version) should move to 28nm to reduce the gap between Intel and AMD, more importantly to be able to maintain the same frequency but with shorter stages and reduce the power consumption

Strategic moves for AMD:

• Move to 3D transistor ASAP
• Integrate AMD stream to replace they FP unit
• Move to ZRam like for the L3 cache to reduce the die area and cost
