How do you check if your computer supports Second Level Address Translation?


Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), also known as nested paging, is a hardware-assisted virtualization technology which makes it possible to avoid the overhead associated with software-managed shadow page tables.
Intel's implementation of SLAT is known as Extended Page Table and is available for Intel Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 procesors.
The computer used here is Windows 10 Pro from DELL and seems to have Core i7.
How do you check if the machine is SLAT capable?
You download this tool from CodePlex.
MachineSLATStatusCheck from here:

http://slatstatuscheck.codeplex.com/

You get a zipped EXE file; CheckSLATStatusOfMachine.exe (6.45KB)
Extract it and run and click check and immediately you get a response as shown (for this Dell machine).

Is there an Arduino program to use with Arduino 101?

If you intend using the more recent Arduino hardware such as Arduino 101 you better use the more recent Arduino IDE 1.6.8.

In a previous post you reviewed using the Visual Studio 2015 with Arduino Extension. In this post you will learn how to download the latest version and install it on Windows 10 computer.

You download arduino-1.6.8-Windows.exe from here.


You begin installing by double clicking the executable.
Here are some of the installation time screen shots for your reference:



On Windows 10 it also adds a desktop App to the All Apps menu.

You launch it by double clicking the shortcut or the desktop app or the shortcut in the installation folder.
 
Click Tools in the main menu to find the Board Manager link ass shown. In the drop-down you can see the various hardware that can be accessed.

Click Board Manager... to open another drop-down. Scroll down to view the Arduino 101 by Intel.

That's all.

Do you want to build real time communication apps in JavaScript?

You can use Intel XDK together with Intel Collaboration Suite for Web RTC to build the real time communication apps.

With Intel Collaboration Suite for Web RTC (Intel CS for WebRTC )it is possible to build apps for real time communication over the web.

You need to use the Intel CS for WebRTC SDK built on top of W3C standard for WebRTC. You can create apps for broadcast, peer-to-peer and apps for conference.

To cater to the major OSs and HTML, the SDK is available in four versions one each for:

  • Android
  • JavaScript
  • iOS
  • Windows
There is a server that you need to get used to:
Intel CS for WebRTC Conference Server that provides the Video Conference Service that streams the service to many end points with the following quoted features:

  • High performance, VP8 and H.264 real-time transcoding with Intel® Iris™ Pro and Intel HD Graphics
  • Scalable multipoint control unit (MCU) server
  • Efficient mixing of HD video streams for saving bandwidth and power on mobile device
  • Intelligent QoS control mechanism that adapts to different network environments
If you are building with JavaScript there are browser requirements and you should get this:
CS_WebRTC_Client_SDK_JavaScript..zip .
