I'm from Munich where Google opened their first engineering office in Germany and continuously expanded their presence ever since. I don't see that Munich and the area were transformed by this as described here. However, Munich is a very different city than Berlin. I can see why it might be tempting for a big tech company to open an office or campus in Kreuzberg, because it represents a certain style, but personally, I don't think the area is ready for this yet.

One thing I couldn't find in the vizzes is that Europe shares its energy grid for a large part. This means that a large portion of energy consumed in say Germany might well be produced by a nuclear plant in France. It's harder to reflect these flows and get data for it, but I assume it changes the picture.

Is there a comparison between libgccjit and llvm in terms of compilation speed and produced code quality?

Is it still allowed to have a set of prepared implementations for standard algorithms and data structures? Still impressive to just need 5 minutes.

I think it's a problem of storing the energy. Oil is compact, easy to store, and even though it's far less efficient than a battery-electric-motor, a fuel-driven approach might still be more economical. Batteries don't come for free.

This seems to be an arbitrary collection of typedefs and consts. I mean look at the definition of 'moondist'. This is a single value and is measured from where? I mean the distance from earth to moon is somewhat static but what about the distance from Venus to the moon.

It is currently a closed-source academic project but is in the process of being commercialized.

In fact we do write a redo log to disk (Set the REDO environment variable, e.g. REDO=$filename bin/driver when running the driver in our example download). VoltDB tries to be fast at highly partitionable workloads and does not provide OLAP-style query support. HyPer aims at bringing OLTP and OLAP together into one system.

Yes, that is our official download link which contains a driver to run transaction benchmarks (specified in our own script language; the tar contains an example for TPC-C) and a psql-like sql tool with which you can load data and query it using SQL-92. An example for TPC-H is also included. You can contact us/me for further questions ([email protected]).
