If you are using RHEL7, these are in the rhel-x86_64-server-optional-7 channel.

In running ALLPATHS-LG, a short read genome assembler, on a Dell PowerEdge R920 with four Xeon E7-4860v2 processors running at 2.60GHz, I did one run with hyperthreading on and one with hyperthreading off. This was mainly to see if the increased cache size on the physical CPU core with hyperthreading off had a positive effect on performance.

I'll take all the anticipation away: Nope. Hyperthreading wins.

We have a wireless Canon PIXMA ip4000R printer that has served us well. However, a new computer with OS X 10.9 Mavericks did not recognize it, and Canon did not have a driver for it.

I ended up moving the following components from an existing computer on which the printer was already working:

I fixed the permissions:

And finally, a link is needed for cups to work:

sudo ln -s /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Plugins/BJNP/canonijnetwork.bundle/Contents/MacOS/canonijnetwork /usr/libexec/cups/backend/canonijnetwork

Before I was able to add the printer, I had to connect it via USB to the printer and add the USB version of the printer.

I was then able to add the Canon ijnetwork printer using the normal method of adding a printer in System Preferences. And delete the USB version.

Edit: now tested with OS X 10.10 Yosemite as well.
