OpenPOWER foundation update new executive director and bright open future_i...Ganesan Narayanasamy
The opening up of the POWER ISA in 2019, set OpenPOWER Foundation on a new course, paving the way for a bright and open future.
This talk will introduce James Kulina, the new Executive Director for the OpenPower Foundation, as well as provide attendees a summary of the latest developments within the OPF community.
The presentation will touch on what's ahead for OpenPower Foundation as it further integrates and strengthens its collaboration with other Linux Foundation projects.
Open source comes in many forms -- not just code. This slide deck covers some paradigms where one might not expect to see much open source, and hopefully inspire new projects and contributions. Included is a personal checklist I use to determine if a project is something I want to use and contribute to.
I develop a program called DAVID (you can find full documentation here(https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Amit_Sharma183)). Now in the next level, a mechanical structure is being engineered. The same program will not only assist the user but also make the mechanical structure function accordingly.
This presentation describes the WHAT, WHEN, WHY, HOW of this project.

ECM and Open Source Software: A Disruptive Force in ECM SolutionsJeff Potts
Open source software is finally getting the recognition it deserves from analysts like Forrester and Gartner as a disruptive force in IT. Over the years, open source has “climbed up the stack” from operating systems to databases and now to business applications where it has established a firm foothold in the content management space.What should enterprises know about open source content management? Is it really just for Web Content Management (WCM) or does it meet the needs of broader Enterprise Content Management (ECM) deployments? Arelarge enterprises doing big, meaningful content management projects with open source or is its appeal limited to subsets of the market? What about Enterprise 2.0 initiatives? Can you assemble an Enterprise 2.0 solution from open source components? How does it compare with something like Sharepoint?
The Libre-SOC Project aims to create an entirely Libre-Licensed, transparently-developed fully auditable Hybrid 3D CPU-GPU-VPU, using the Supercomputer-class OpenPOWER ISA as the foundation.
Our first test ASIC is a 180nm "Fixed-Point" Power ISA v3.0B processor, 5.1mm x 5.9mm, as a proof-of-concept for the team, whose primary expertise is in Software Engineering. Software Engineering training brings a radically different approach to Hardware development: extensive unit tests, source code revision control, automated development tools are normal. Libre Project Management brings even more: bug trackers, mailing lists, auditable IRC logs and a wiki are standard fare for Libre Projects that are simply not normal Industry-Standard practice.
This talk therefore goes through the workflow, from the original HDL through to the GDS-II layout, showing how we were able to keep track of the development that led to the IMEC 180nm tape-out in July 2021. In particular, by following a parallel development process involving "Real" and "Symbolic" Cell Libraries, developed by Chips4Makers, will be shown how our developers did not need to sign a Foundry NDA, but were still able to work side-by-side with a University that did. With this parallel development process, the University upheld their NDA obligations, and Libre-SOC were simultaneously able to honour its Transparency Objectives.

OAP: Optimized Analytics Package for Spark Platform with Daoyuan Wang and Yua...Databricks
Spark SQL is one of the most popular components in big data warehouse for SQL queries in batch mode, and it allows user to process data from various data sources in a highly efficient way. However, Spark SQL is a general purpose SQL engine and not well designed for ad hoc queries. Intel invented an Apache Spark data source plugin called Spinach for fulfilling such requirements, by leveraging user-customized indices and fine-grained data cache mechanisms.
To be more specific, Spinach defines a new Parquet-like data storage format, offering a fine-grained hierarchical cache mechanism in the unit of “Fiber” in memory. Even existing Parquet or ORC data files can be loaded using corresponding adaptors. Data can be cached in off-heap memory to boost data loading. What’s more, Spinach has extended the Spark SQL DDL, to allow users to define the customized indices based on relation. Currently, B+ tree and bloom filter are the first two types of indices supported. Last but not least, since Spinach resides in the process of Spark executor, there’s no extra effort in deployment. All you need to do is to pick Spinach from Spark packages when launching the Spark SQL.

Spinach has been imported in Baidu’s production environment since Q4 2016. It helps several teams migrating their regular data analysis tasks from Hive or MR jobs to ad-hoc queries. In Baidu search ads system FengChao, data engineers analyze advertising effectiveness based on several TBs data of display and click logs every day. Spinach brings a 5x boost compared to original Spark SQL (version 2.1), especially in the scenario of complex search and large data volume. It optimizes the average search cost from minutes to seconds, while brings only 3% data size increase for adding a single index.

Building Apache NiFi 2.0 Python Processors
Abstract
Let’s enhance real-time streaming pipelines with smart Python code. Adding code for vector databases and LLM.
Summary
Tim Spann: I'm going to be talking today, be building Apache 9520 Python processors. One of the main purposes of supporting Python in the streaming tool Apache Nifi is to interface with new machine learning and AI and Gen AI. He says Python is a real game changer for Cloudera.
You're just going to add some metadata around it. It's a great way to pass a file along without changing it too substantially. We really need you to have Python 310 and again JDK 21 on your machine. You got to be smart about how you use these models.
There are a ton of python processors available. You can use them in multiple ways. We're still in the early world of Python processors, so now's the time to start putting yours out there. Love to see a lot of people write their own.
When we are parsing documents here, again, this is the Python one I'm picking PDF. Lots of different things you could do. If you're interested on writing your own python code for Apache Nifi, definitely reach out and thank.

This presentation covers two uses cases using OpenPOWER Systems
1. Diabetic Retinopathy using AI on NVIDIA Jetson Nano: The objective is to classify the diabetic level solely on retina image in a remote area with minimum doctor's inference. The model uses VGG16 network architecture and gets trained from scratch on POWER9. The model was deployed on the Jetson Nano board.
1. Classifying Covid positivity using lung X-ray images: The idea is to build ML models to detect positive cases using X-ray images. The model was trained on POWER9, and the application was developed using Python.
IBM Bayesian Optimization Accelerator (BOA) is a do-it-yourself toolkit to apply state-of-the-art Bayesian inferencing techniques and obtain optimal solutions for complex, real-world design simulations without requiring deep machine learning skills. This talk will describe IBM BOA, its differentiation and ease of use, and how researchers can take advantage of it for optimizing any arbitrary HPC simulation.
This presentation covers various partners and collaborators who are currently working with OpenPOWER foundation ,Use cases of OpenPOWER systems in multiple Industries , OpenPOWER Workgroups and OpenCAPI features .
The IBM POWER10 processor represents the 10th generation of the POWER family of enterprise computing engines. Its performance is a result of both powerful processing cores and high-bandwidth intra- and inter-chip interconnect. POWER10 systems can be configured with up to 16 processor chips and 1920 simultaneous threads of execution. Cross-system memory sharing, through the new Memory Inception technology, and 2 Petabytes of addressing space support an expansive memory system. The POWER10 processing core has been significantly enhanced over its POWER9 predecessor, including a doubling of vector units and the addition of an all-new matrix math engine. Throughput gains from POWER9 to POWER10 average 30% at the core level and three-fold at the socket level. Those gains can reach ten- or twenty-fold at the socket level for matrix-intensive computations.

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.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

6. A20 Core
The A2O core is an out-of-order, multi-threaded, 64-bit POWER ISA core that was developed as a processor for
customization and embedded use in system-on-chip (SoC) devices. It’s most suitable for single thread performance
optimization. A follow-up to its parent high-streaming throughput A2I predecessor, it maintains the same modular design
approach and fabric structure. The Auxiliary Execution Unit (AXU) is tightly-coupled to the core, enabling many possibilities
for special-purpose designs for new markets tackling the challenges of modern workloads.
