By the time Donizetti arrived in Venice on 6 January 1836, the score of Belisario was almost finished, and because of delays, he had time to hear several of the proposed singers in a performance of Rossini's L ' assedio di Corinto given on 12 January, the day before rehearsals of Belisario were to begin.

Its first performance in Vienna was at the Kärtnertortheater on 14 May 1843, a production in which Donizetti participated and added the comic baritone duet " Cheti, cheti, immantinente " from a discarded portion of his unperformed opera L ' ange de Nisida.

Blue Gene / L occupied the No. 1 position on the Top500 list in June 2007 ; the current system achieves a Linpack benchmark performance of 478. 2 TFlop / s ( teraflops, or trillions of calculations per second ).

The record performance was made at LLNL on Blue Gene / L, the world's fastest supercomputer with 131, 072 processors.

Because of his poor performance on the pitch, one Italian publication renamed their award given to the worst performance of the week, L ' asino della settimana ( Donkey of the Week ) to Bergkamp della settimana.

The performance was immortalised both on record and on a film that played in US theatres for a week in 1964 as well as being the subject of books written by cast members William Redfield and Richard L. Sterne.

By 1925, by virtue of the unwelcomed pressure of a performance deadline, he finally finished his opera L ' enfant et les sortilèges, with its significant jazz and ragtime accents.

* The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, an unabridged dramatic audio performance at Wired for Books.

Godrèche was nominated for a 2002 César Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the surprise European hit, L ' Auberge espagnole.

The symphony was followed by another orchestral work, by far the best known of Dukas's compositions, his scherzo for orchestra, L ' apprenti sorcier ( The Sorcerer's Apprentice ) ( 1897 ), a short piece ( lasting for between 10 and 12 minutes in performance ) based on Goethe's poem " Der Zauberlehrling ".

They are designated U 1000, U 1300 / L, U 1500, and the flagship U 1700 / L with 124 kW ( 168 hp ) engine performance.

After 150 performances of L ' Homme de La Mancha, Brel gave his final performance in the role of Don Quixote on 17 May 1969.

While the TOP500 measures performance on a single benchmark application, Linpack, Blue Gene / L also set records for performance on a wider set of applications.

Blue Gene / L used low frequency and low power embedded PowerPC cores with floating point accelerators. While the performance of each chip was relatively low, the system could achieve better computer to energy ratio, for applications that could use larger numbers of nodes.

The dual FPUs gave each Blue Gene / L node a theoretical peak performance of 5. 6 GFLOPS ( gigaFLOPS ).

Decca released the stereo recordings of Ernest Ansermet conducting L ' Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, including, in 1959, the first stereo LP album of the complete Nutcracker, as well as Ansermet's only stereo version of Manuel de Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat, which the conductor had led at its first performance in 1919.

As CPUs became faster, the GeForce 256 showed that the disadvantage of hardware T & L is that if a CPU is fast enough, it can perform T & L functions faster than the GPU, thus making the GPU a limit to rendering performance.

Premack debated of the nature of linguistic performance in apes with Jean Piaget and Noam Chomsky at the Centre Royaumont pour une Science de l ' Homme, during one of the last moments when Jacques Monod could participate in intellectual debates shortly before his death.

Occasionally a database employs storage redundancy by database objects replication ( with one or more copies ) to increase data availability ( both to improve performance of simultaneous multiple end-user accesses to a same database object, and to provide resiliency in a case of partial failure of a distributed database ).

With appropriate operating system support, there can be increased read performance, and only a minimal write performance reduction ; implementing RAID 1 with a separate controller for each drive in order to perform simultaneous reads ( and writes ) is sometimes called " multiplexing " ( or " duplexing " when there are only two drives ).

The day after the performance, the group received considerable media coverage for a concert at the Zagreb Biennale entitled " Mi kujemo bodočnost " (" We Forge the Future "), during which the group used simultaneous projections of a pornographic movie and the film Revolucija još traje ( The Revolution is Still Going On ).

In the case of fixed-angle monochromators ( for use in simultaneous spectrometers ), crystals bent to a logarithmic spiral shape give the best focusing performance.

His Ghost Trance Music, which introduces a steady pulse to his music, also allows the simultaneous performance of any piece by the performers.

Some new sequences have been added ( e. g., an introduction to act three, in which Tim, the Company Stage Manager, and Poppy, the Assistant Stage Manager, make simultaneous apologies — the former in front of the curtain, the latter over the PA — for the delay in the performance ).

Though difficult, mastering the heel-and-toe technique in conjunction with necessary clutching is essential for high performance driving ( e. g., rally racing ) to stay in the optimal gear regardless of the simultaneous braking, accelerating, and clutching required for shifts.

* The parallel-processor nature of the X-MP and its ability to solve multi-variate simultaneous equations rapidly is used in Tom Clancy's novel, The Hunt for Red October, when ' Skip ' Tyler uses the USAF's X-MP machine to work out the performance and sonic characteristics of the October for Jack Ryan on behalf of the CIA in return for both profit and the chance to evaluate the vessel should it successfully defect.

Depending on the design & architecture of the processor, simultaneous multithreading can improve performance if any of the shared resources are limiting bottlenecks for the performance.

Critics argue that it is a considerable burden to put on software developers that they have to test whether simultaneous multithreading is good or bad for their application in various situations and insert extra logic to turn it off if it decreases performance.

The soirees were often raucous events with artists experimenting with new forms of performance, such as sound poetry and simultaneous poetry.

When a completely new student arrived for a workshop in 1989 and found a chaotic simultaneous photo shoot, dress rehearsal for a performance at Berkeley ’ s Zellerbach Hall, workshop, costume making session, lunch, chat, and newspaper interview, all " choreographed " into one event by Tamano, she ordered the student, in broken English, “ Do interview .” The new student was interviewed, without informing the reporter that the student had no knowledge what butoh was.

In 1977 he formed the Wizzo Band, a jazz-rock ensemble, whose only live performance was a BBC simultaneous television and radio broadcast in stereo.

Ward would assign much of the credit for this breakthrough performance to acting coach Sandra Seacat, first for simply helping her get the job ( after her disastrous first reading ) and then for the quality of the finished performance, assembled over the course of a grueling five-month shooting schedule, while undergoing a simultaneous and no less grueling makeover program at the hands of Ms. Seacat .< ref >

Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information, analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming and operations research to quantify performance.

Among his innovations with tape music were the simultaneous performance of improvised instrumental solos with tapes based upon samples of the same soloist, re-editing of tapes before each public performance so that the pieces were not fixed in a single form, and the use of the erase head of the tape machine as a sound source.

As is usually the case with proprietary software licenses, this license contains an extensive list of activities which are restricted, such as: reverse engineering, simultaneous use of the software by multiple users, and publication of benchmarks or performance tests.

A contrast effect is the enhancement or diminishment, relative to normal, of perception, cognition and related performance as a result of immediately previous or simultaneous exposure to a stimulus of lesser or greater value in the same dimension.

Early works can be identified with Julio Estrada's Techniques and the Xenakian school: Use of Cartesian graphics representing sonic trajectories and its evolutions, multi parametrics ( the use of several simultaneous performance and compositional resources in a single line or stave ) and internal sonic imagination analysis.
