My Dissertation

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Abstract:

The graphical processing unit (GPU) is a piece of hardware that was primarily developed to enhance the realism and performance of computer games. In recent years however the hardware has been opened up to developers and GPU makers are now actively marketing the capabilities of the GPU as a generic processor. This project aims to evaluate what the GPU really has to offer and compare it to a more conventional processing device.

WinRAR Tricks!

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Nice little trick to extract recursively.

Copy UnRAR.exe from WinRAR installation folder to the folder root where you want to extract files to.

Run this command

UnRAR.exe e -r *.rar

All subfolders with rar files will be extracted to the folder containing UnRAR.exe

Very useful for ermm, well you know those packages that come with a lot of files all in lots of split rars in seperate subdirectories (cough movies packs, tv shows etc)

If you trust yourself you can write a rar deleter too (I’d rather delete manually)
