Multiple processor systems
The document is about an advanced operating systems course for fall 2012 taught by Van Hoang Nguyen. It discusses topics like communication techniques for multiprocessors, multicomputers and distributed systems. It also covers OS code, scheduling, deadlocks, message passing performance, and processor allocation algorithms for multiprocessors, multicomputers and distributed systems.
Types of communication
This document defines and describes different types of communication. It identifies intrapersonal communication as occurring within an individual, interpersonal communication as occurring between people, extrapersonal communication as between humans and non-humans, organizational communication as occurring within a workplace in both internal and external forms, and mass communication as using mass media which requires a mediator.
Multi core processors
Multi-core processors combine two or more independent processors into a single integrated circuit to improve performance. They emerged as a solution to physical limitations threatening single-core processor improvements. By having multiple cores work in parallel, multi-core processors can achieve higher speeds than single-core processors and help address overheating issues. However, fully utilizing multiple cores requires changes to programming methods and not all software is optimized for multi-core systems.
GANs and Applications
This document summarizes generative adversarial networks (GANs) and their applications. It begins by introducing GANs and how they work by having a generator and discriminator play an adversarial game. It then discusses several variants of GANs including DCGAN, LSGAN, conditional GAN, and others. It provides examples of applications such as image-to-image translation, text-to-image synthesis, image generation, and more. It concludes by discussing major GAN variants and potential future applications like helping children learn to draw.
Scrum - An introduction
The document provides an overview of Scrum and its key elements. It discusses that Scrum is an iterative, collaborative framework for managing product development. It also summarizes that Scrum uses sprints, daily stand-up meetings, product backlogs and user stories to help development teams work in an agile way. The document outlines the core Scrum roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master and Development Team and how they work together.
ORM in Django
The document discusses Object Relational Mapping (ORM) in Django. It begins by explaining that ORM provides an API that allows accessing databases in an object-oriented style, making the database more transparent. It then provides examples of how to define models by inheriting from Django's Model class and adding fields. Various field types like CharField, IntegerField, DateField are demonstrated. It also shows how to define relationships and primary keys. The document concludes by explaining how to perform CRUD operations on models in an object-oriented way using Django's ORM APIs.
Introduction to Cross-platform App Development
Cross-platform mobile app development allows writing code once that can run on multiple operating systems and devices. It uses a virtual machine that compiles source code into bytecode that can run on different hardware platforms. Xamarin allows building native mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows using C# and .NET. Apps are compiled to native code for each platform, delivering native performance while sharing most of the development code cross-platform.
Conistency of random forests
The document discusses consistency of random forests. It summarizes recent theoretical results showing that random forests are consistent estimators under certain conditions. Specifically, it is shown that random forests are consistent if the number of features sampled at each node (mtry) increases with sample size and the minimum node size decreases with sample size. The document also discusses how consistency holds even when the splitting criteria are randomized, as in random forests, as long as the base classifiers are consistent.

Nosql intro
This document discusses the future of data storage and the rise of NoSQL databases. It notes that while SQL databases have dominated for decades, their suitability is cracking due to limitations in scaling and integration. NoSQL databases are designed to run on clusters across many machines, have flexible schemas, and are open source. They allow for embracing large scale and reducing development drag. However, relational databases are still relevant for some use cases. The future is one of "polyglot persistence" using the best data storage technology for each application's needs.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

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.HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
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).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
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.
