Configure, Pack and Distribute: An RPM Creation WorkshopNovell
This session is for you if:
You are an ISV who wants to create appliances from your software
You are a customer with your own software development team who wants to package this software for deploying it in the data center—as a package or on your self-built appliance
You have trouble with your data center due to commercial software that is not packaged in a secure and maintainable way
In this workshop you will learn how to build Linux RPM packages. We will demonstrate packaging from source code, and for commercial software (existing as a tar-ball). You will learn best practices and get links to further information.
Filesystem Showdown: What a Difference a Decade MakesPerforce
In the last 10 years, Ext4 has risen in prominence, ReiserFS has fallen to the wayside, ZFS has been ported to Linux, XFS keeps plugging along, and there's a new kid: Btrfs. NTFS has evolved, too. It's now 2016. How do these filesystems stack up against each other? Does it really make that much of a difference? We’ll show you the results of standard, consistent tests across platforms (Linux vs. Windows) and filesystems to see if the differences are worth choosing one over the other. For simplicity's sake, the tests are performed on identical hardware with out-of-the-box settings.
At StampedeCon 2012 in St. Louis, Pritam Damania presents: Reliable backup and recovery is one of the main requirements for any enterprise grade application. HBase has been very well embraced by enterprises needing random, real-time read/write access with huge volumes of data and ease of scalability. As such, they are looking for backup solutions that are reliable, easy to use, and can co-exist with existing infrastructure. HBase comes with several backup options but there is a clear need to improve the native export mechanisms. This talk will cover various options that are available out of the box, their drawbacks and what various companies are doing to make backup and recovery efficient. In particular it will cover what Facebook has done to improve performance of backup and recovery process with minimal impact to production cluster.
Presentation in GNOME Asia 2015 which focus in the topic of "In Memory Computing" with the tittle An Overview, Maximize the Ability of The GNU/LINUX Operating System using In Memory Computation for Academic, Business and Government.
This paper are mainly focus in moving the root file system from storage device into memory (RAM) device, minimizing bottleneck and maximizing performance, benchmarking and a little snippet script how to do that.

MySQL Cluster 7.3 Performance Tuning - Severalnines SlidesSeveralnines
The MySQL Cluster 7.x series introduced a number of features to allow for fine-grained control over the real-time behaviour of the NDB storage engine. New threads have been introduced, and users are able to control placement of these threads, as well as locking the memory such that no swapping occurs. In an ideal run-time environment, CPUs handling data node threads will not execute other threads apart from OS kernel threads or interrupt handling. Correct tuning of certain parameters can be specially important for certain types of workloads.
This presentation covers the different tuning aspects of MySQL Cluster.
- Application design guidelines
- Schema Optimization
- Index Selection and Tuning
- Query Tuning
- OS Tuning
- Data Node internals
- Optimizations for real-time behaviour
This presentation looks closely at how to get the most out of your MySQL Cluster 7.x runtime environment.
OSDC 2016 - Tuning Linux for your Database by Colin CharlesNETWAYS
Many operations folk know that performance varies depending on using one of the many Linux filesystems like EXT4 or XFS. They also know of the schedulers available, they see the OOM killer coming and more. However, appropriate configuration is necessary when you're running your databases at scale.
Learn best practices for Linux performance tuning for MariaDB/MySQL (where MyISAM uses the operating system cache, and InnoDB maintains its own aggressive buffer pool), as well as PostgreSQL and MongoDB (more dependent on the operating system). Topics that will be covered include: filesystems, swap and memory management, I/O scheduler settings, using and understanding the tools available (like iostat/vmstat/etc), practical kernel configuration, profiling your database, and using RAID and LVM.
There is a focus on bare metal as well as configuring your cloud instances in.
Learn from practical examples from the trenches.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
