"Start work now to make my computers faster" Hennessy found an attentive audience
for his views on the past, present and future of microprocessing
in TU/e students and staff and Philips researchers. He is of the
opinion that it will be increasingly difficult to improve the
speed and performance of computers. "We must change the way
we think about microprocessing," he said. "And the changes
will have to come out of academia and research labs and by teaching
young people." John L. Hennessy. Photo: Bart van Overbeeke |
Extra funds for South Africans and Indonesians The money is not directly available to students; department
managers must request it for a specific purpose. For example,
one South African exchange student is receiving support because
something went wrong with his housing arrangements and he was
forced to rent a more expensive place than he had expected. An
Indonesian PhD student who couldn't finish his dissertation in
the prescribed four years can stay on for an extra year thanks
to a grant from Delta. The sum of a Delta grant may be anything
from 3,000 to 25,000 guilders. |
Dekate Mousa photo exhibition on light Dekate Mousa members Eva Habets and Coen de Jongh have put
this particular exhibition together. Their choice for the 'light'
theme was well-considered. "Now we are in the darker part
of the year, we thought 'light' would make a good theme. The fact
that Christmas is coming up is also good in this context. Our
members are free to interpret the exhibition We make sure the exhibition is presented as well as possible,
we hang the pictures and even think about whether certain photos
go together. We want to create a kind of unity," says De
Jongh.
