While speaking to our customers, I’m often asked why we don’t carry a specific brand or type of product. For example, AMD recently released a CPU called Ryzen that competes with Intel CPUs. AMD is positioning these chips as comparable to Intel’s offerings but at a lower price. Some customers are interested in how these new chips stack up.
Docker and NVIDIA-docker on your workstation: Setup User Namespaces
In this third post on Docker and Nvidia-Docker we will configure “kernel user namespaces” for use with Docker. This will increase the security and usability of Docker on your desktop. This is a relatively new feature in Docker and is a key component for the viability of “Docker on your workstation”.

Premiere Pro CC 2017 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
With the new Ryzen CPUs from AMD, the main question everyone wants to know is how much faster they are compared to the old CPUs. In this article, we will be tackling this question in terms of Premiere Pro performance by examining how the new Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X perform compared to their Intel counterparts.

Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.8 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
CPUs often get a lot of press and reviews, but unfortunately for content creators (and other professionals), it is almost impossible to find relevant non-gaming benchmarks to help you decide what CPU to purchase. In this article we will be looking at the new AMD Ryzen CPUs to see how they perform compared to their Intel counterparts.
Should You Learn to Program with Python
The short answer to that question is, yes. If you want to know why you would want to do that then read on.

SOLIDWORKS 2017 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
Whenever there is a new generation of CPUs launched, the main question everyone wants to know is how fast they are. While most reviews focus on gaming performance with a smattering of production benchmarks, in this article we will be looking exclusively at how Ryzen performs in SOLIDWORKS.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
Whenever there is a new generation of CPUs launched, the main question everyone wants to know is how fast they are. In the case of AMD’s Ryzen, there are also a lot of questions surrounding how they compare to the offerings available from Intel. For quite a while now, Intel has held a dominant position in nearly every computing market but there is a lot of hype around Ryzen due to the fact that you can get eight CPUs cores for half the cost of an eight core Intel CPU.
Docker and NVIDIA-docker on your workstation: Installation
In this second post on Docker and Nvidia-Docker we will do an install and setup on an Ubuntu 16.04 workstation.
I Got Schooled by a Group of 7th Graders
If you’re feeling overconfident in your public speaking skills, step into a class full of 7th graders. They are a tough crowd.
That’s what I did last week when my daughter’s “Career & Technology” teacher asked me speak to her class about my work in technology. I prepared a 15-minute presentation that covered my years at Microsoft, a couple of startups, and positions at Puget Systems.
Docker and NVIDIA-docker on your workstation: Motivation
Docker containers together with the NVIDIA-docker can provide relief from dependency and configuration difficulties when setting up GPU accelerated machine learning environments on a workstation. In this post I will discuss motivation for considering this.
