This document discusses several minor technical issues and proposed solutions in ATS:
1. Thread initialization is done unsafely by starting threads and later updating data structures, which is risky. The proposal is to use continuations to initialize threads safely during startup.
2. Continuation tracking is added to identify the origin of continuations for debugging. A "plugin context" tracks the originating plugin to tag continuations.
3. std::chrono is proposed to replace custom time handling in ATS. It provides type-safe time durations and timepoints without loss of precision during conversions.
4. Other active projects include partial object caching, event loop improvements, plugin priorities, making assertions no-ops in
To thread a bobbin, secure the thread to a bobbin and lock it in place, disengage the needle and use the foot pedal to wind thread onto the bobbin. Remove the bobbin, thread the machine, and place the bobbin in the machine, threading it through the notch. Use the hand wheel to lower the needle and pick up the bobbin thread, pulling it through and bringing the thread ends together off to the side.
This document discusses hybrid OpenMP and MPI programming. It provides an introduction to hybrid programming and outlines some of the benefits such as exploiting shared memory parallelism within a node using OpenMP while also scaling across nodes with MPI. It discusses different parallelization strategies and considerations for debugging and optimizing hybrid codes. It also provides two examples of hybrid codes: a multi-dimensional array transpose algorithm and the Community Atmosphere Model climate simulation code.
The document discusses heterogeneous system architecture and the HSA Foundation. It provides the following key points:
1) The HSA Foundation is developing an open platform for heterogeneous systems to allow programming of CPUs and GPUs.
2) The HSA platform uses open specifications for the architecture, runtime, and programming model to enable software to run across hardware from different vendors.
3) Example workloads like face detection that are highly parallel are well-suited for heterogeneous systems but early exits in algorithms can cause workload imbalance on GPUs.
This document discusses common C++ bugs and tools to find them. It describes various types of memory access bugs like buffer overflows on the stack, heap, and globals that can lead to crashes or security vulnerabilities. Threading bugs like data races, deadlocks, and race conditions on object destruction are also covered. Other undefined behaviors like initialization order issues, lack of sequence points, and integer overflows are explained. The document provides examples of each type of bug and emphasizes that undefined behavior does not guarantee a predictable result. It concludes with a quiz to find bugs in a code sample and links to additional reading materials.
Traditionally, computer software has been written for serial computation. To solve a problem, an algorithm is constructed and implemented as a serial stream of instructions. These instructions are executed on a central processing unit on one computer. Only one instruction may execute at a time—after that instruction is finished, the next is executed.
The document discusses concurrency in C++ and the use of std::async and std::future. It recommends preferring task-based programming over thread-based due to easier management. It notes that the default launch policy for std::async allows asynchronous or synchronous execution, creating uncertainty. It advises specifying std::launch::async if asynchronicity is essential to ensure concurrent execution and avoid issues with thread-local variables and timeout-based waits.
This document provides guidelines for how to rule at a table as a judge. The key steps are to 1) approach with a smile while noting the time and squatting to their level, 2) listen separately to each player starting with the caller until fully understanding the situation, potentially defusing conflicts or calling a backup judge for clarity, 3) investigate whether a foul occurred requiring a head judge or deliver the ruling, and 4) deliver the ruling without strategic advice and offer an appeal while giving extra time and documenting the decision in writing.

Artificial Intelligence in Computer and Video GamesLuke Dicken
This lecture was given at the April meeting of the Glasgow branch of the British Computer Society on 12th April 2010. The lecture was supposed to be given by Dr. Darryl Charles, who fell ill a couple of days before the event, and I was asked to take the lecture instead.
In the presentation I cover the basics of why AI and Games are well suited and give a brief discussion of different types of AI as I see it. I discuss briefly how AI fits into the context of the game in terms of execution.
The bulk of the talk presents case studies in the format of Commercial game -> Theoretical technique used -> Research project using this technique.
It should be noted that the section on Left4Dead was omitted from the lecture as it was presented at the time due to concerns about the length
Sometimes you see code that is perfectly OK according to the definition of the language, but which is flawed because it breaks too many established idioms and conventions. On the other hand, a solid piece of code is something that looks like it is written by an experienced person who cares about professionalism in programming.

The document discusses CAST Application Intelligence Platform (CAST AIP), which provides objective monitoring and measurement of software applications to ensure adherence to architectural standards, coding best practices, and documentation standards. CAST AIP analyzes entire applications across all tiers and languages. It provides metrics on the application's structural integrity, changeability, robustness, performance, security, and maintainability. The platform also enables architects to drill down to specific code issues, check compliance with custom rules and standards, and define architectural policies for governance. CAST AIP analyzes applications using three engines that assess quality, compliance, and structure, and stores results in a knowledge base for reporting and decision making.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.

Unhappy Attorneys, Wasted Investments
THE PROBLEM
THE TECH
THE GOALS
Having the most up-to-date case information at all times is critical for corporate
attorneys to succeed in the conference room as well as the court room. Employing
over 850 attorneys globally, Winston, faced a significant UX & system adoption
challenge with their Corporate Intranet. They struggled to provide live case infor-
mation to attorneys in an easy to consume experience. Attorneys were unable to
find critical information, or wasted precious billable time trying to figure out the
data heavy experience.
What they required was a set of rules to organize and govern their massive data
stores, a beautiful interface through which to access it, and finally an experience
that was robust, seamless and universal across all devices.

Crashing Under The Weight of Compliance
THE PROBLEM
THE TECH
THE GOALS
The government has never been easy on paperwork nor high on efficiency; my
client AAR understood first hand the pain that comes with the burden of being
compliant with regulations. Inefficient manual reporting workflows, lack of cross-
team communication, and ultimately a poor final client experience were a few of
the issues they suffered from while initially deploying their aircraft maintenance
portal. Furthermore, their data was spread out across multiple tech platforms and
failed to provide the key insights needed by program managers and end clients.
What they needed was a brand new, robust, scalable, rapidly deployable, and easy
to use permission based aviation maintenance platform that could easily integrate
and display data from all the various unique technology sources in their ecosystem.

design element or pattern.
The area of isolation surrounds the entire logo, and should
be equal to 1/2 the cap height of the logotype. The area
of isolation does not refer to page limitations but to other
graphic and typographic elements (excluding address).

A Disconnect Between Titans of Industry
THE PROBLEM
THE TECH
THE GOALS
It isn’t easy getting 18,000 people spread out over 5 continents to communicate ef-
fectively with each other! Small things we take for granted like a cold bottle of beer
or a McDonald’s hamburger are the result of a massive effort involving immense
logistical challenges. At Reyes, the enterprise lacked a unified portal that would al-
low members of all business units to access a centralized communication platform.
Business units relied on inefficient and time consuming methods to collaborate
across the enterprise, and governance over data was a challenge.
What they needed was an intranet that was fast, simple, beautiful and served as an
effective collaboration and communication tool. It had to work on all devices and
had to be lightweight to work on slower connections abroad. Enter, ReyesConnect.
• Microsoft Sharepoint 2013 / Sharepoint On Premise
• NodeJS
• Easy to use dashboard style intranet, that served a large set of varied

Bridging A Gap Between Providers & Insurers
THE PROBLEM
THE TECH
THE GOALS
With the ever rising costs of healthcare, it becomes vital for patients to ensure
that insurance claims are fulfilled in a timely manner. Healthcare providers and
partners of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona were facing an issue with an older
out-dated system that made record keeping and claim filing a hassle. This archaic
system led to a disconnect between billing, clerical, & management divisions and
significantly impacted patients and doctors alike.
What BCBS AZ needed was a beautifully designed web portal powered by a
strong UX strategy to make the process of filing and retrieving claim information
simple for providers and insurers alike.
• Sitecore
• Axure RP
• Design a powerful yet flexible module based system to ensure con-
sistency of experience while allowing for role based content
• Identify & organize content types into a simple and easily navigable
menu system available globally with a single click
• Innovate and create rich new layouts and styles while staying true
to, and bringing to life the historic Blue Cross Blue Shield brand
• Develop and create content types that meet B2C/Marketing goals
within a B2B experience

THE GOALS
Relying on sell sheets intended for print brochures to make digital sales, just
wasn’t working for AllState’s Small Business group. Besides being very data heavy
and hard to read, the sheets also required customers to have additional software
to view them leaving consumers frustrated and confused. Furthermore, the web
experience housing these sell sheets was not responsive and customers com-
plained about not having access to sales information on their devices. The bottom
line: AllState was taking a hit on their sales.
What they needed was a complete content re-architecture, a gorgeous, easily
scannable container within which to serve the information, and a flexible and fast
loading web experience to present it on multiple devices.
• liveSite Enterprise
