This slideshow gives feedback about using Linux in industrial projects. It is part of a conference held by our company CIO Informatique Industrielle at ERTS 2008, the European Embedded Real Time software Congress in Toulouse
Today, the boundaries between the general purpose PCs, the servers and the embedded systems are more blurred. These computers are sharing same platforms, same peripherals. For example, an x86/Mac PC can be used as a server, an x86/PowerPC CPU can be used in an embedded system like portable navigation device (PND). On the other way, the popular embedded processor StrongARM was a powerful desktop PC processor for the DEC workstation, and the embedded systems often also act servers, like NAS (Network Attached Storage). As same as the hardware suppliers, the OS suppliers port their products into the desktop PCs, servers and embedded systems.

Slides I published explaining OpenStack at the OpenSource conference in Milan 2016. Explain also how business processes are involved and explain OpenStack components
OpenStack Explained: Learn OpenStack architecture and the secret of a success...Giuseppe Paterno'
OpenStack can help your business in cutting costs and have a faster time to market. A lot of people are looking at OpenStack as an alternative to VMware and most of the vendors are trying to let you think that visualization is cloud. While Cloud implies a virtualized environment, virtualization is not a cloud.
This ebook will go through the concept of Cloud and help you understand the architecture of OpenStack and its benefits. It also explores DevOps and reveal the "secret ingredient" to have a successful cloud project.
This ebook was created to raise funds for the Nepalese population after the Earthquake in 2015.
OpenStack security is a huge topic. In these slides I presented at the OpenStack Day, I analyzed cloud security the network to the application layer, going through specific layers, some in common between OpenStack itself and the applications.
Comparing IaaS: VMware vs OpenStack vs Google’s GanetiGiuseppe Paterno'
No matter if you are a lonely system administrator or the CTO of the largest carrier in the World, getting to know what’s out there is a jungle. Is VMware still the lead? I’ve heard about OpenStack, how mature is that? And what this “Ganeti” I’ve never heard of?
Well, here I am. Guess what, you’re not the only one asking these questions. I traveled most of Europe hearing world’s most famous enterprises, banks and telcos and also in contact with many vendors’ labs, from San Francisco to Munich.
In this presentation I just wish to give a quick overview of the state-of-the-art in the IaaS and virtualization world. This is not a sales or marketing presentation: no vaporware, just pure and real experience from the field.

Cloud can provide great flexibility to IT, ensuring business continuity and optimizing costs. But what are the implications for IT security? Even big names such as IEEE, Apple and Samsung are among the victims of identity theft in the Cloud. If you choose to adopt virtual data center (IaaS) or on-line applications (SaaS), you shift the paradigm of security as it was conceived up to now. The presentation will examine the security implications of a Cloud infrastructure and possible remedies with practical examples.
Il problema dei furti di identita' nelle infrastrutture Cloud e possibili rimediGiuseppe Paterno'
E' noto che il Cloud consente di dare una maggiore flessibilità all'IT, garantendo una continuità del business e ottimizzando i costi. Ma quali sono le implicazioni sulla sicurezza aziendale? La cronaca recente ha evidenziato che anche nomi importanti quali IEEE, Apple e Samsung sono tra le vittime piu' famose dei furti di identita' nel Cloud. Se si adottano datacenter virtuali (IaaS) o applicazioni on-line (SaaS), si sposta il paradigma della sicurezza così' come concepita finora.
La presentazione analizzerà le implicazioni di sicurezza di una infrastruttura Cloud e i possibili rimedi, con esempi pratici.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. The Post-PC Era
Welcome to the
Post-PC Era
An era where the personal computing is moving from
the desktop form factor to more ubiquitous
computing such as netbooks, smartphones, Tablet,
Smart Television and in-vehicle entertainment
systems.
2
3. Post-PC impact on Server Side
●
Incredible number of devices connected to the network
●
So many clients, so many requests
●
High demand for scalable-mission critical systems and
architectures
●
Distributed non-relational data, also known as “big-data”
●
Reduced needs for huge server(s) in small business
3
5. The ARM Processor
●
ARM is a 32-bit RISC architecture (coming to 64-bit)
●
Supports multi-core (up to 4 cores)
●
Available from many vendors: FreeScale, nVidia, TI, Marvell, ....
●
Advantages: low power consumption, low cost
●
Largely used in client devices....
●
... but ...
5
6. ARM processors on servers
... power consumption and assemply costs sounds
interesting in the server side. In particular:
1) In small and medium business they can replace singleservers with “micro-servers” such as smart-NAS
2) In large datacenter, where cooling and power are
important costs, ARM allows more server density.
6
7. Drivers for ARM Servers in the data centre
Data center trends:
●
●
●
Power = problem - $26B/yr to power and cool volume servers
Facilities max'd on power means that there is a CapEx hurdle before
deploying more servers
Web and Cloud workloads are emerging as distinct addressable market
ARM SoCs fast evolving for server workloads
●
ARM processors already deliver multicore 2GHz+ performance
●
Virtualisation, 64 bit support coming over next 2 years
●
Lower power is just the beginning. Re-architecting of the server
subsystem , fabric and systems management to further increase the TCO
advantages.
Potentially large TCO Advantages (OpEx and CapEx)
●
●
7
CapEx driven by lower acquistion costs and higher density at existing data
centers
OpEx drops based on power and cooling
8. Ubuntu 11.10 and ARM
Ubuntu Server 11.10 is the first general-purpose, serverfocused operating system that supports the ARM
architecture.
Canonical has done significant work to support the architecture with the core OS
and with essential high-volume server applications such as the LAMP stack. The
ARM architecture is considered to have the potential to improve the performance
per watt density of data centers dramatically.

10. Micro-Server for SMB deployment
With clouds being deployed, there's less need for a real
server in Small and Medium Business.
Most of the need is an advanced file-storage solution and
some generic purposes functions:
●
Web server
●
PBX (Asterisk)
●
Small (local) databases
●

Systems Management becomes even more important when you look at the node density
possible with ARM boards in blades
12. ARM for scalable Web 2.0
The perfect workload for ARM in the Web 2.0 architecture, where millions
of clients are trying to access the same resource (such as Facebook,
twitter, ...)
●
●
●
12
Cassandra is an open source distributed database management system
that is designed to handle very large amounts of data spread out across
many commodity servers while providing a highly available service with
no single point of failure
MapReduce is a software framework introduced by Google to support
distributed computing on large data sets on clusters of computers. A
number of clones can implement the same framework, such as Hadoop
Web Servers and Application Servers that are able to serve million of
pages in a flexible ways
13. ARM and Big-Data
●
●
●
13
Big Data generally refers to database applications that
manage Non-Relational or Unstructured data.
Differences occur in the consistency model, the data
model and therefore workload suitability
Big Data applications are used extensively by companies
with huge amounts of unstructured data (Facebook,
Google, Yahoo etc..) but increasingly more traditional
enterprises (Banks, Power companies, Telcos, Govts) are
seeing the value in being able to process huge amounts
of this type of data quickly.
14. Why Ubuntu Server on ARM?
Perfect match on target
workloads

●
Ideal business model
●

14
Ubuntu is strongest in the areas that ARM will break into – Webservers,
Hadoop & Cloud workloads.
Popularity with developers will accelerate the very patching of FLOSS
apps and ISV apps that is needed to see growing support for ARM in
the ecosystem.
Canonical have worked for three years with ARM and ARM partners on
optimising for Cortex A8 and A9.
Ubuntu is already natively compiled for Cortex A9 with Thumb2
optimisation and support for NEON switched on
Ubuntu fully supports all Linaro optimisations and is the leading adopter of
work from Linaro.
Canonical charges for Services not for bits. Customer do not pay for
security patches or updates.
Hyper-scale users (target market) strongly desire this model. This
model also lends itself very neatly to Cloud deployments
