How Funcom Increased Play Time in Lego Minifigures by 40%Gael Hofemeier
With the recent gaming changes to mobile platforms from traditional desktops, the relationship between power and performance is tighter than ever. Providing the best user experience in the mobile gaming world means high performance and longer battery life. This session will teach developers practical methods to improve user experience by providing a practical overview of power issues in gaming and show how to boost the end user experience regardless of the platform's power constraints. Attendees will then walk through a practical example by Funcom to create a power saving mode in Lego Minifigures that increased gaming time by more than 40%.
We will show that we can quickly reduce processor power consumption over 50% when optimizing a gaming workload by performing simple modifications such as capping the frame rate, reducing AI threads, changing the rendering resolution, and choosing the right algorithm. Developers will leave the presentation with an increased understanding of key power optimizations to take back and use in their mobile games.

How to create a high quality, fast texture compressor using ISPC Gael Hofemeier
Due to demand, we have been looking into effective compression of the new DirectX* 11 texture formats (BC7, BC6H). This led us to publish a highly efficient ISPC-based texture compressor, under a permissive license, that has now been integrated into several content pipelines. We’ll present how these formats work, why you want to use them, and how our implementation is an improvement over previous software (including some running on discrete GPUs!). We’ll perform a deep dive into the algorithms that enable us to achieve high efficiency and the way we used ISPC to leverage SIMD processing on a wide array of platforms, then discuss future plans.

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!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
