Building Complete Private Clouds with Apache CloudStack and Riak CSJohn Burwell
IT infrastructure rigidity has emerged as one of the leading barriers to achieving the cost efficiency and operational agility required to drive growth. While public cloud such as Amazon Web Services and Rackspace provide this agility, many organizations are precluded from utilizing them due to regulatory, security, performance, and/or existing investments. For these organizations to realize these agility benefits, they must transform their private infrastructures to embrace public cloud principles.
During this session, we will explore cloud system architecture principles and best practices. Using the Apache CloudStack cloud orchestration platform and Basho’s Riak CS object store, a complete, open source private cloud will be realized that creates the operational agility and cost-reduction benefits of public clouds.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Good morning, folks. Welcome again to Rightscale compute.. Hope u are having a good time so far..I am utpalthakrar, product manager for cloud integration.. One of my areas of focus has been around private and hybrid cloud..Today we will talk about, u guessed it, private and hybrid clouds..
Virtualization (server)Division of one physical server into multiple isolated virtual environmentsPrivate CloudA collection of compute, storage, and network resources for a single tenant that are accessed programmatically via an API endpoint.Public CloudA similar set of resources that is multi-tenant and is provided by a cloud vendor with access via an API endpoint.Multi-CloudAn environment that spans two or more separate clouds, be they both public, both private, or one (or more) of each.Hybrid CloudAn environment that spans one or more public clouds as well as one or more private clouds.

Old school DatacentersRacks of physical nodes, one application per nodeIt’s all we knew, it worked, and it was fine.Virtualization – The Early YearsCapability of a node outgrew the needs of any single applicationLots of idle resources on each nodeVirtualization provided the ability to have a many-to-one (servers per node) relationshipThis was betterCloudification (Virtualization grows up)Automated provisioning and management via an API appearsThis is much, much better
Workload and Infrastructure InteractionApplications have different resource needsChoose the right fit for your application and your infrastructureSecurityData may be contained within the private cloud, thus allowing for stricter security complianceLatencyConsumers of the private cloud resources are generally “closer” to the private cloud, which reduces latencyUser ExperienceRelated to latency, end user experience is enhanced due to proximity to resources.CostOPEX is generally reduced. (CAPEX is another story )
When private cloud resources are exhausted, a server tier expands into the public cloud to tap into the “infinite” resourcesConsiderations:Security – public Internet is traversedLatency – traversal of public Internet involves the Great UnknownCost – bandwidth charges for public Internet traversalComplexity – setting up a secure environment is not a trivial taskWe will explore use-cases for hybrid cloud

Rackspace has developed a hybrid cloud solution called RackConnectTM, which inte- grates dedicated hosting or private cloud infrastructure with the Rackspace Cloud. This solution has proven to be a significant benefit for customers who want to leverage public cloud resources as a portion of their hosted infrastructure. Customers have lever- aged this solution to enable rapid scale up of applications for things like e-commerce solutions, marketing campaigns, Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings, rich media applications such as games, and social media apps. As a colocated hybrid cloud, Rack- Connect offers low latency, high bandwidth connections, allowing very creative useof infrastructure for workloads such as batch video transcoding applications, desktop as a service, and more. In addition, full integration and automation have simplified the provisioning and management of this hybrid infrastructure, and enhanced the security of a RackConnect customer’s cloud deployment, by managing network access holisti- cally and programmatically, with an easy to use Graphical User Interface. Hybrid clouds have become a highly demanded solution for our customers, from SMBs and Enter- prises alike.
Various open source / commercially supported cloud orchestration platforms available.OpenStack and CloudStack are the two leading platforms we recommend.They both have flexible options, typically support various hypervisors
Hardware ProcurementPre-existing or new?Pre-existing limits ability to tailor infrastructure to workloadsCloud Infrastructure SoftwareThis decision will dictate/limit many future decisionsResearch options, and choose wisely!Cloud TopologyZones, regions, storage allocation, HA considerations, etc.Build or BuyUse in-house resources if expertise existsThird-party resourcesBuild using existing resourcesBuild using new preconfigured hardwareDesign – Design for HA, use uniform hypervisor, Network is a key consideration – switching from basic zone or FlatDHCP to advanced zone or quantum isn’t that simple.. Make use of hypervisors uniformly..Compute density is key factor in capacot planning.. You will need to incorporate physical CPU cores, RAM, oversubscription ration and instance storage.. Storage options, object storage, block storageScalability and HA of the cloud itself – controller nodes, api end point redundancy, Automate – crowbar, chef, puppet, fuel etcMonitoring – Is usually an after thought but it shouldn’t be.. It is important to establish so,etrendig so that you can forecast capacity and plan accordingly

I AM representing RightScale today, so a little bit on how RightScale can help.Server templates allow you to pre-configure servers by starting from a base image and adding scripts that run during boot, operational and shutdown phases of a server instance.The key benefit of a server template is that they help you create a easily reproducible server setup. And this can be done across multiple clouds..Through the server configuration mechanism that is built into the server templates, they servers have the ability to automatically join load balancer pools, autoscale across zones etc.
From technical sys admin to the business userIT can maintain control, developers can customize, and operations can automate. Everyone can get the agility of the cloudBusiness is agile, efficient, and innovative.Enabling the basic benefits, that is what this platform is about.RightScale make the power of cloud accessible to everyone with automated solutions that are easy to use.Great technology is invisible.RightScale takes care of the annoying but critical details for operational excellence.
