StorPool presents at Cloud Field Day - the leading technology event focused on the impact of cloud technologies on enterprise IT. During the event, the high-performance block storage specialist will showcase how its storage technology allows cloud builders to easily outperform cloud titans like AWS, Microsoft Azure and GCP.
Performance is of major importance for modern applications and workloads. No matter if you run a private cloud or deliver public cloud services for customers, you need to ensure the excellent performance for the workloads running on the cloud. Often misunderstood, storage has a direct impact not only on the reliability of cloud services, but also on the performance of the entire cloud.

Geek Sync | Infrastructure for the Data Professional: An IntroductionIDERA Software
You can watch the replay for this Geek Sync webcast in the IDERA Resource Center: https://www.idera.com/resourcecentral/webcasts/geeksync/infrastructure-for-the-data-professional
It doesn’t matter if you are a DBA, application developer, database developer, or BI pro, the infrastructure your SQL Server environment runs on is important. If you didn’t “grow-up” on the system administration side of IT or, perhaps, you have been out of the operations world long enough to have fallen out of the loop with what is happening. This session is intended to provide a full stack infrastructure overview so that you can talk shop with your cohorts in operations to resolve issues and maybe even be proactive. We will discuss, in an introductory fashion, hardware, network, storage, virtualization and operating system layers. Additionally, some suggestions as to where to find more information will be provided.
Speaker: Peter Shore is a seasoned IT professional with over 25 years of experience. He took the accidentally intentional DBA plunge in 2013 and has discovered that he loves to find the stories the data has to tell. Peter is comfortable working with both physical and virtual servers, where he tries to apply best practices to attain performance improvements. He is also adept at bridging the gap between technical and business language in order to bring technology solutions to business needs.

The rapid growth of in-memory compute applications is not surprising given the tremendous performance gains they can offer. Jobs that used to take hours can now take minutes or seconds as they are no longer subject to the rotational and seek latencies of spinning media. While Flash memory provide some relief, it is still a hundred times slower than the DRAM that in-memory compute applications utilize as their primary storage.
One drawback to in-memory compute applications is the high cost associated with DRAM. Not only are the acquisition costs an order of magnitude more expensive than Flash, DRAM consumes far more power. Power can be a significant issue in data centers besides contributing a major part to the operational costs. In addition, a single server has limited capacity for DRAM and datasets that are larger, need to find an alternate solution or cope with the nuisance of sharding. Furthermore, in order to utilize the maximum capacity of DRAM in a server, higher cost DRAM needs to be installed further escalating the cost of compute.
We discuss a paradigm to allow in-memory computing applications to extend their capacity by utilizing Flash memory; often with minimal performance loss. We give examples of applications that have been modified to utilize the paradigm and show performance comparisons. We also discuss TCO and the relative cost per transaction of the different solutions.

Keynote Address at 2013 CloudCon: Future of Big Data by Richard McDougall (In...exponential-inc
Over the last few years we’ve seen a frenzy of interest and buzz around the area of Big Data. Beyond the hype, there is a solid base of growing use cases, which are becoming center stage to most businesses. 2012 was the year of awareness. There was a great amount of sharing from the early core developers of the analytic platforms – showing the rest of the world the capabilities of the tools and platforms that had been developed for special purpose high scale analytics. The big names at the core of open source analytics development include Facebook, eBay, Linkedin, Twitter – all blazing the trail with new approaches. These companies brought along with them a new and expanding interest in leveraging the same technologies for commercial interest.
This talk is focused at how a growing number of enterprises that are already heavily invested in the use cases – but by volume, most customers now have some form of big data proof-of-concept underway. These proof of concepts typically start with a thesis of how competitive advantage can be gained through insight from the data. A proof of concept can quickly validate the theory, and helps sell further investment in the analytics platform, and it snowballs from there.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
