Adoption of cloud computing as a new outsourcing strategy has grown rapidly among IT-based organisations in recent years.

Develop an Enterprise-wide Cloud Adoption Strategy – Chris MerriganAmazon Web Services
Taking a cloud first approach requires a different approach than you probably had to consider for your initial few workloads in the cloud. You’ll be deploying hybrid environments, and that means taking a broad view of your IT strategy, architecture, and organisational design. In this session, we cover how the CAF framework offers practical guidance and comprehensive guidelines to enterprise organisations, particularly around roles, governance, and efficiency.
AWS Partner: Grindr: Aggregate, Analyze, and Act on 900M Daily API CallsAmazon Web Services
Monitoring and making sense of infrastructure data can be an arduous process. Managing a volume of API calls from more than one million active users every minute presents an even more complex and demanding challenge. Using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Datadog, Grindr overcame a series of infrastructure challenges by both implementing and managing highly scalable, high availability, and top performing infrastructure, as well as aggregating, analyzing, and acting on key infrastructure data KPIs.
With all the hype around Cloud and SDN, business decision makers are finding themselves trying to navigate through many new concepts and consequently needing to change the way they have traditionally selected their IT infrastructure. Technologies are now becoming more integrated and it is more important than ever to help your business be agile enough to keep up with the demands of your users and your customers. Come hear from Lisa Guess to learn how organizations can embrace Cloud technologies such as automation, SDN and Orchestration platforms to help you build next-generation networks.
Performance Characterization of the Pentium Pro ProcessorDileep Bhandarkar
HPCA 3 Paper
In this paper, we characterize the performance of several business and technical benchmarks on a Pentium Pro processor based system. Various architectural data are collected using a performance monitoring counter tool. Results show that the Pentium Pro processor achieves significantly lower cycles per instruction than the Pentium processor due to its out of order and speculative execution, and non-blocking cache and memory system. Its higher clock frequency also contributes to even higher performance.
Performance from Architecture: Comparing a RISC and a CISC with Similar Hardw...Dileep Bhandarkar
This is the paper that Dave Patterson referred to in his Turing Lecture.
Performance comparisons across different computer architectures cannot usually separate the architectural contribution from various implementation and technology contributions to performance. This paper compares an example implementation from the RISC and CISC architectural schools
(a MIPS M/2000 and a Digital VAX 8700) on nine of the ten
SPEC benchmarks. The organizational similarity of these
machines provides an opportunity to examine the purely
architect ural advantages of RISC. The RISC approach offers,
compared with VAX, many fewer cycles per instruction but somewhat more instructions per program. Using results from a software monitor on the MIPS machine and a hardware monitor on the VAX, this paper shows that the esulting advantage in cycles per program ranges from slightly
under a factor of 2 to almost a factor of 4, with a geometric
mean of 2,7. It also demonstrates the correlation between
cycles per instruction and relative instruction count.

Designed for performance, optimized for power
For decades we have been able to take advantage of Moore’s Law to improve single thread performance, reduce power and cost with each generation of semiconductor technology. While technology has advanced after the end of Dennard scaling more than 10 years ago, the advances have slowed down. Server performance increases have relied on increasing core counts and power budgets.
At the same time, workloads have changed in the era of cloud computing. Scale out is becoming more important than scale up. Domain specific architectures have started to emerge to improve the energy efficiency of emerging workloads like deep learning.
This talk will provide a historical perspective and discuss emerging trends driving the development of modern processors.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.

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.

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.
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).
