In the last few years energy efficiency of large scale infrastructures gained a lot of attention, as power consumption became one of the most impacting factors of the operative costs of a data-center and of its Total Cost of Ownership. Power consumption can be observed at different layers of the data-center: from the overall power grid, moving to each rack and arriving to each machine and system. Given the rise of application containers in the cloud computing scenario, it becomes more and more important to measure power consumption also at the application level, where power-aware schedulers and orchestrators can optimize the execution of the workloads not only from a performance perspective, but also considering performance/power trade-offs. DEEP-mon is a novel monitoring tool able to measure power consumption and attribute it for each thread and application container running in the system, without any previous knowledge regarding the characteristics of the application and without any kind of workload instrumentation. DEEP-mon is able to aggregate data for threads, application containers and hosts with a negligible impact on the monitored system and on the running workloads.
Information obtained with DEEP-mon open the way for a wide set of applications exploiting the capabilities offered by the monitoring tool, from power (and hence cost) metering of new software components deployed in the data center, to fine grained power capping and power-aware scheduling and co-location.

Abstract Networking has been an integral part in the computers, ever since its evolution. Over the years, networking features of the operating systems varied so much, and then, evolved to the form it is now. Networking features vary as the platform changes, and the various operating systems will have different networking features. The topic Windows Vs Linux has been debated for many years. Here, the aim is to bring out the weaknesses and focus on the strengths of the two operating systems Windows 8 and Linux Ubuntu 12.10 in terms of its networking capabilities and security. The networking performance of the operating systems is compared on the basis of certain parameters. The comparison results were obtained with D-ITG on two systems connected with Ethernet cable. Performance of UDP protocol was measured when generating two gaming traffic patterns and one VoIP call.
INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION OF IEEE 802.11N WLANS LINK FEATURES PERFORMANCE ...pijans
For an efficient design of wireless local-area networks (WLANs), the simulation tools are important to accurately estimate the IEEE 802.11n/ac link features for WLANs. However, this true simulation of network behavior is critical in designing high-performance WLANs. Through testing, analysis, and modeling of the proposed scheme repetitively, the design of the WLAN can be enhanced with a small budget before making its practical implementation. Many network simulation tools have been established to give solutions for this request and ns-3 is the most widely used tools among them by the research industry as an open-source network simulator. In this paper, we examine the various link features of the 802.11n WLANs under several conditions. We investigate the effects of 802.11n WLAN modulation and coding schemes (MCSs), 20MHz single channel or 40 MHz bonded channel, guard intervals (GI), frame aggregation, data encoding, number of antennas and their data rate, and link distance features of 802.11n WLAN in ns-3 when only a unique host connects with the access point (AP) and generates data traffic. Besides, the performance for an enterprise scenario proposed by the IEEE 802.11ax study group is evaluated when several hosts are simultaneously creating traffic with their associated APs. The results demonstrate that ns-3 support most of the link features of the 802.11n protocol with significant accuracy.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

A Soap Performance Comparison Of Different WSRF Implementations
1. A SOAP Performance Comparison of different WSRF Implementations Roland Kübert, Axel Tenschert, Hai-Lang Thai {kuebert, tenschert}@hlrs.de High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), University of Stuttgart SOAP Comparison to WSRF 28.11.2009
Zwischen „6“ und „WSRFLite“ ein Leerzeichen benchmark groß Schreiben als erstes Wort zweiter Bulletpoint: eher sowas wie „benchmark results can indicate which implementation is favorable if performance is a key requirement“ (quasi betonen dass, wenn es um Performance geht, der Benchmark hilft, ansonsten aber nicht zwingend aussagekräftig ist“.
Ist ne gute Aufstellung. Zu 4 kannst du sagen dass sowas in Zukunft, aufbauend auf unseren Untersuchungen, auch interessant wäre. Ansonsten kannst du mal hier schauen, da gibt’s ein paar Zusammenfassungen: https://wickie.hlrs.de/staff/index.php/User:Hpckueb/Papers
Bullet 1: „based“ statt „base“ Bullet 4: Was willst du damit sagen? „Even though it‘s not standardized, it can make results comparable“?
„ Each service exposes 3 different types of operations:“ in bullet 2
- Kannst du dir merken für MIO: similiar to data that is, for example, used in complex fluid dynamics simulations - echoVoid to test latency of the SOAP stack (without processing overhead as in send/receive)
Kannst sowas sagen wie „GT4 under Linux is clearly an outlier, but repeated measurement brought the same value. As to now we cannot explain this drop in performance.“
Glaube hier stand im Paper, dass GT4 seinen Vorteil nicht mehr ausspielen kann (siehe send*, oder?), weil die deserialization so schlecht ist. Kannst du aus dem Paper nehmen und evtl. auch nur mündlich erwähnen
