Hi Folks,

Just an update on this contest - our panel of judges met yesterday and deliberated on all the entries. We are in the process of communicated out to the winners & once we have that complete, we will list to prize winners. Thank you to all that participated - we really appreciate all the activity!

Thanks,

Eric

It would be also useful to list the contributions and merge it the tizen wiki what do you think ?

For now I am updating my entry :

1st version was at :

For fans of performance monitoring so that as a discerning selector of operating systems you can brag to strangers as you ride mass transit:

the 'getconf' command which can be used to show the cache parameters. To show cache hits, misses there is a new tool called 'perf' which must be installed.

Results from getconf:

LEVEL1_ICACHE_SIZE 32768
LEVEL1_ICACHE_ASSOC 8
LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE 64
LEVEL1_DCACHE_SIZE 32768
LEVEL1_DCACHE_ASSOC 8
LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE 64
LEVEL2_CACHE_SIZE 262144
LEVEL2_CACHE_ASSOC 8
LEVEL2_CACHE_LINESIZE 64
LEVEL3_CACHE_SIZE 3145728
LEVEL3_CACHE_ASSOC 12
LEVEL3_CACHE_LINESIZE 64
LEVEL4_CACHE_SIZE 0
LEVEL4_CACHE_ASSOC 0
LEVEL4_CACHE_LINESIZE 0

Example output from perf:

perf stat -B dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000

Performance counter stats for 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000':

5,099 cache-misses # 0.005 M/sec (scaled from 66.58%) 235,384 cache-references # 0.246 M/sec (scaled from 66.56%) 9,281,660 branch-misses # 3.858 % (scaled from 33.50%) 240,609,766 branches # 251.559 M/sec (scaled from 33.66%) 1,403,561,257 instructions # 0.679 IPC (scaled from 50.23%) 2,066,201,729 cycles # 2160.227 M/sec (scaled from 66.67%) 217 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 3 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 83 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 956.474238 task-clock-msecs # 0.999 CPUs

0.957617512 seconds time elapsed

For Tizeneers, three go-fasts are

1. use GPUs to do some of the computing 2. strive to take more than your share of cache 3. multi-thread

perf gives you a good idea how successful you have been at #2

Intel graciously gave me and other attendees a Windows 8 Ultrabook last Thursday (7/26) at the San Jose event. Comparing it to another Intel Ultrabook we have for Windows 7 a core i5 at 1.70 GHz versus a core i7 at 2.0 GHz for Windows 8. They have the same L1 and L2 caches. The Windows 8 machine has a megabyte more (4 versus 3) of L3 cache. I have asked Intel is there are any differences in cache abilities. They both have 4 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM and a solid state drive. As with the cache, I have asked if the SSDs are notably different. It's currently fair to say the systems are comparable. Both are dual cores with hyperthreading. I ran quite a few tests with an application of mine named ORIBI. The tests vary the number of threads the application starts, do a bunch of calculations and write results to disk. If there were, for example, one billion calculations to do and ORIBI was spawning four threads this execution there would be 250 million calcs per thread. There are some technical (statistical) problems with heteroskedasticity - variance among threads increases as the number of calculations increases - but so far this Windows 8 machine is markedly outperforming its Windows 7 counterpart THREE TO ONE. Not the result I expected. Had Windows 8 been as slow as or slower than Windows 7 it would have been good for Tizen. I am going to try and get Tizen running on these machines but Tizeneers should be concerned that any hoped for performance advantage for Tizen is in jeopardy. Detailed

There will be two Intel-sponsored Windows 8 Ultrabook kickoffs - one in San Jose this Thursday and one in New York City in August. Several colleagues and I will be attending the San Jose event. We'll likely be the only ones in ties, so stop by and say hello. Two comrades in arms from the StartUp bus expedition to Elements 2011 (prospects seem dim for there being an Elements 2012) will be journeying to New York. We all had two questions: Will Visual Studio 2012, presumably with Intel's Parallel Studio extensions, be pre-loaded?

More importantly, how about a dual boot to Tizen?

I am working my way through trying to get Grub to handle Win8 and Tizen. Has anyone out there succeeded?  

Curiously, on the Code Project (see

http://www.codeproject.com/Competitions/585/Android-at-Play-Android-Game-App-Contest.aspx)

there's an announcement of an ANDROID contest: 

I am very happy to write html 5 application using Tizen SDK.

• Download  and Installation

Has anyone applied for (or, better yet, been approved for or even received) a Tizen developer device? Availability was announced June 19, but I am still not seeing anything available even when selecting <any>.

Would anyone have any notion  when (or if) Tizen netbooks (mentioned in the list) will be available?

At one time Intel was  handing out ExoPC tablets with MeeGo layered on top of Win7. Would anyone have managed to  remove MeeGo and upgrade to Tizen? If so, did the Tizenized ExoPC perform with credible speed and stability?

Is it safe to assume  Oracle will NOT have a Java for Tizen and that one should use the Java for
LINUX?

In the Name of God

I am going to start my first mobile application development with the Tizen OS.

I know Tizen's Potential in the not too distant future:-)

and I am in that contest too....

Collaboration with Mozilla should be a priority: we don't want a fragmented HTML5.

Can you please tell me will tizen be ported to any Samsung Wave Devices since I am the Owner of the site Badahub.com and All of my site visitors want to know about it.

I will be very thankful to you if you could tell me the Wave devices for which the update is planned.

If you could tell me about it then i would be able to help my millions of visitors who are dying to get the answer.

Thinkin about the creation of html5 application, one of the most annoyng thigs that a developer has to develop is adhoc solution for content caching.

I mean that many app can't store all the content within the app itself, but many time is usefull to allow the user to bring some of that content offline for on the go reading.

If there is no problem for text content, problems come when we need to store image or media for offline usage. Any dev on any platform is forced to develop his own solution for doing this caching. A standard api do download media for offline reading i think can be a huge improvment. T

he manifest file is not always the best solution for this king of things, use won't keep all the content his view, but only what he really care about.

Thanks.

I briefly managed to visit the San Francisco event while I was mostly on the Oakland side. The event seemed fine and dandy, and generally people believed there's something to it in Tizen. On the other hand, it feels like Tizen in its 1.0 release form doesn't recognize itself crystal-clearly. On a technical basics front, it's mostly a Samsung's Linux distribution with seemingly not too many outside contributors? On the application / API front the stuff Intel (and Samsung?) do seem pretty great, with genuine interest in both improving W3C standards and contributing to those, so that Tizen can do real-world experimenting while not forking away too far by contributing immediately back.

The community side of Tizen at the moment does not in my opinion clearly define what it is, what it isn't and what it aims to be. Referring to the MeeGo SF conference talk of ”Transparency, inclusion and meritocracy”, the same problems MeeGo had are in Tizen and maybe a bit more even. A community participant searching to join Tizen should not have false beliefs what the community will be in the future, but should feel like there is a clear place to be at both now and in the future. What kind of separation there is and will be for being in the vendor community, the system development community, or the application development community, while being either a company or an individual?

So for Tizen 2.0, I'd hope for more clear understanding what Tizen is, and what ”parts” of Tizen are there – Tizen distribution, Tizen vendors, Tizen community, Tizen application API, Tizen operators. It's fine to keep some parts more closed than others, but it'd be good to be actually specified (with reasoning) how everything is compared to eg. something completely open like Debian.

(as a remark, I did not ask for the Tizen developer device while in SF, but it's good that they're spread out to enable developers)

Python on Tizen

http://www.imagsts.com/SphericalTilings01.html has six web pages (keep clicking the hyperlink associated with the Next at the top right) with some geometric comments on the SDK's initial page. A hyperbolic tiling of dinosaurs that pays homage to M.C. Escher may be a bit much but surely a more dynamic and dramatic opening page would inspire Tizen SDK users to greater heights.
