New in SiSoftware Sandra XII (2008):
London, UK, August 15th 2007 - We are pleased to launch SiSoftware Sandra XII (2008), the latest version of our award-winning utility, which includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, PDAs, smart-phones and networks.
Over time, there has been a continued and sustained growth in software portability and the development of software that can ultimately be executed on multiple platforms without recompilation. With the use of the software virtual machine (SVM) growing, be that .NET1 or Java2, the importance of offering a benchmark that measures their performance has grown.
The introduction of these benchmarks will soon allow the complete suite to be available on other operating systems - not just on Microsoft Windows, as we expanded into non-x86 architectures (IA64/Itanium3, x64/AMD64/EM64T, ARM) in the previous years. We have also added additional support for Virtual Machine and Runtime Engines to open up this information now to the our users.
Not everything in this release is virtual: as with all releases there is something very real in adding more and more support and trying to predict the new needs of our users as we achieved with each release. Support for digital certificates and cryptography, detailed information of the security settings, policies, users and groups of your computer, wireless networks and advanced charting.
This version adds the following new modules and functionality:
• .NET Benchmarking1
° .NET Arithmetic: Shows how well the system handles .NET arithmetic operations through the .NET CLR in comparison to other typical .NET CLRs.
° .NET Multi-Media: Shows how well the system handles .NET multi-media operations through the .NET CLR in comparison to other typical .NET CLRs.
• Java Benchmarking2
° Java Arithmetic: Shows how well the system handles Java arithmetic operations through the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) in comparison to other typical Java Virtual Machines.
° Java Multi-Media: Shows how well the system handles Java multi-media operations through the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) in comparison to other typical Java Virtual Machines.
• Information and Diagnostics
° Virtual Machines and Runtime Engines: Information about the software Virtual Machines (VM), Runtime Engines (RE) and software engines installed on your computer.
° Cryptography and Certificates: Information about the cryptographic providers, algorithms and security certificates installed on your computer.
° Sessions: Information about the client sessions hosted by your computer under Terminal Services.
° Users and Groups: Information about the users and user group accounts registered on your computer and on your domain.
• Wireless Support: Information about the wireless (802.11a/b/g/n) networks and devices in addition to the Bluetooth, IrDA (Infrared) and networking capabilities.
• Enhanced Network (LAN/WAN) Capabilities
° Bluetooth Devices and Networks
° Wireless Devices and Networks
° Terminal Servers
° Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) Devices and Networks
• New Advanced Charting Capabilities
° Differences Chart: view the differences between the tested device and reference devices.
° Components Chart: contrast the indexes against one another for both current and reference device.
° Performance vs. Speed: contrast the results against device speed (MHz, bps, etc.); how much more performance do you get from a faste device?
° Performance vs. Power: contrast the results against device power (TDP); how much more power does a faster device consume?
With each release, we add new support and compatibility for the latest hardware, architectures and operating systems, and this is no exception. SiSoftware continues to work with hardware vendors to ensure the best support for new emerging hardware.

Desktop SMS was the flavor of the month for a brief period in 2002. it’s back! Or is it?
Marshal Kirkpatrick of TechCrunch writes about the new feature from txtDrop - a web based, Myspace plugin, which offers sending SMS to a MySpace user free of charge. Oliver Starr adds more depth in MobileCrunch. There seems to be an inflation of Web based SMS services flying around. Unfortunately I find most of these services very mediocre. Some of these services may score well within a niche, but I personally think Web<-->SMS services must have the following “traits” in order to hit the minimum benchmark required for massive breakthrough:
1. Complete, 2 way, Web to Mobile and back conversations.
2. International, Operator Agnostic delivery (enough with the “limited to US and Canada” disclaimer).
3. Intelligent Routing between Web and Mobile - messages that need to reach the web should reach the web. Messages that need to reach the mobile should reach the mobile. Smart companies will figure out when and how to route each message.
4. Spam and Privacy Protection - At any cost, user data should not be exposed (definitely not “sold”).
5. Reliability - currently, most web based SMS services do not guarantee delivery. In many case, the messages are indeed not delivered. When the service is free most providers tend to excuse themselves. the users don’t.
6. Price - Messages need to be free to the extent possible. When not free, billing should be through an existing billing relationship (phone bill, Paypal, definitely not pulling out the credit card again).
7. Media - web content is rich. Text messages are textual. Routing Media from the web to the mobile could turn out to be a key differentiator. Available technology is still a little raw, but it’s getting there.
(The last one may not be mandatory, but the rest definitely are).

Here’s a popular request amongst those who are learning PHP. When developing PHP applications, it’s good practice to benchmark your pages to see if you need to further optimize your code. The following snippet will show you how much time it took your server to process your PHP document.
Insert this at or near the top of your PHP file.
$m_time = explode(” “,microtime());
$m_time = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1];
$loadstart = $m_time;
Now place this snippet at or near the bottom of your file for the best results.
$m_time = explode(” “,microtime());
$m_time = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1];
$loadend = $m_time;
$loadtotal = ($loadend - $loadstart);
echo “<small><em>Generated page in “. round($loadtotal,3) .” seconds</em></small>”;
That’s it! I suggest adding this while you develop any PHP application, and include it even after the launch, so that you can see how well your scripts scale with the traffic you receive.
