Sunfire

Sunfire is the name of Marvel comics superhero. There is also a superheroine of the same name from an alternate universe.

Marvel Universe

In the regular Marvel Universe (Earth-616) Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida) is a Marvel Comics superhero, associated with the X-Men. Created by Roy Thomas and Don Heck, he first appeared in ''X-Men'' #64 (1970). Sunfire is a temperamental and arrogant Japanese mutant, who can generate superheated plasma and fly. Not suited for teamwork, Sunfire was a member of the X-Men only briefly and has kept limited ties to the team since. Sunfire is also the name of a related character in the Parallel universe-related Marvel series ''The Exiles'' (see below).

Fictional Biography

Shiro Yoshida and his sister Leyu were born to a mother who suffered radiation poisoning due to exposure to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. As a result, he and his sister were born mutants, possessing identical powers (Note: Sunfire first appeared during the era of the original X-Men when several explanations for the existence of mutant powers had been given, one of which was radiation. Genetic evolution is currently the most common explanation). Shiro’s mother died of radiation poisoning when he was young and Shiro grew to hate the United States, despite the influence of his US-friendly father, a diplomat. His greedy uncle Tomo inspired Shiro to take the identity of Sunfire and engage in a one-man battle against the U.S. He attacked the United States Capitol and battled the X-Men. Later, he saw Tomo kill his father. Distraught, Sunfire killed Tomo and surrendered to the X-Men. Their leader, Professor Xavier, allowed Sunfire to return to Japan. Months later, Xavier recruited Sunfire to join a new team of X-Men to rescue the originals from Krakoa, the Living Island (in the classic ''Giant-Sized X-Men'' #1). Sunfire accompanied the fledgling X-Men on this mission, but resigned from the team afterwards. Sunfire has appeared

Pontiac Sunfire

The Pontiac Sunfire is a compact car made by Pontiac. It was introduced as a 1995 model year replacement for the Sunbird. Not only was the name changed, but dramatic styling changes were included as well. Also during this time, the J-body platform was updated structurally to meet more stringent safety standards. The Sunfire model could be purchased as a coupe or a convertible. However, the covertible models were not sold after the year 2000 when Pontiac introduced the new body styling of the Sunfire. Production of the Sunfire will end in June of 2005. Over 36,000 Sunfires were sold in 2004 for around US$11,500. No replacement vehicle is planned for the United States market, though Pontiac sells a version of the Chevrolet Cobalt in Canada as the ''Pontiac Pursuit''. The Pontiac Sunfire is available in standard and GT trim. Only the coupe will be available in 2005. Available engines are:

2.0L I-4 "Dual Cam"

1995 - 2.3 L (138 in³) ''Quad-4'' I4

1995 - 2.2 L (134 in³) ''2200'' I4

1996–2002 - 2.4 L (146 in³) ''LD9'' I4

GT.M

GT.M is a high-performance database engine, optimized for transaction processing. GT.M is also an application development platform and a compiler for the ANSI/ISO standard M language, which was formerly known as MUMPS. GT.M originally stood for ''Greystone Technology M'' and was developed by Greystone Technology Corp. It is an implementation of ANSI standard M for various UNIX systems and for Hewlett-Packard's OpenVMS system. In addition to preserving the traditional features of M, GT.M also offers an optimized compiler that produces object code that does not require internal interpreters during execution.

GT.M vs other implementations of M

GT.M differs from other implementations of M in the following ways.

Data and code are maintained in separate files

The source code is compiled rather than interpreted

Working

GT.M compiles the M source code into the target machine language. These object files are dynamically linked into an image. GT.M databases are UNIX files identified by a file called Global directory. By changing the Global Directories, one can make the same program access different databases. Internally to these files, GT.M stores data in b-tree based multidimensional arrays (otherwise known as MUMPS globals, (similarly to most modern M implementations).

GT.M distributions

GT.M is currently available on the IBM RS/6000 AIX, Compaq Alpha/AXP Tru64 UNIX and Open VMS, HP Series 9000 HP-UX, Sun SPARC Solaris and x86 GNU/Linux. GT.M is available as open source freeware for the x86 GNU/Linux platform.

Common applications

GT.M is predominantly used in healthcare and financial services industry.
