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).
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.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
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.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.

- 5. What does Pioneer Forest mean to residents? ● Within a week of aborted City of Nanaimo public meeting, 100 people gathered in the forest (June 14) ● "Friends of Pioneer Forest" -- concerned people seeking a permanent solution to protect forest as park ● All agree forest must be protected ● www.savepioneerforest.com
- 6. What does Pioneer Forest mean to residents? ● It's my connection with nature. I can't drive, can't do stairs or walk on rocks ● It's a big part of what makes Pioneer Park a recreational asset; removes pollutants, reconnects us with the land ● It's why we bought our house; it was and is a park & the OCP has it as park and open space ● I have walked my dogs here for years
- 7. What does Pioneer Forest mean to residents? ● This forest is why I came back to Nanaimo ● This is where I run every day and where my kids connect with nature ● The value of this forest to the liveability of the area cannot be replaced ● A great deal. We need more trees, not less
- 8. What does Pioneer Forest mean to residents? Youth work parties to remove invasives, revive forest ● Sadie Biggs, Grade 10, Dover Bay Secondary: “It’s a really active project and it’s a really visible thing you’re doing.” ● Ashley Wilson, Grade 11, Dover Bay Secondary: “You get a result at the end of it, which is always nice. And it’s good to get out.” ● Terry Zhang, Grade 10, Dover Bay Secondary: “I feel like I do good when I help the community. I feel like I’m getting involved, and I’m making new friends. I like the Pioneer Park thing.” From Nanaimo Daily News, March 13, 2012
- 9. What Might it Mean to SD#68? ● Possible building site? Bad location, expensive to build, destroys forest ● Sale to fund operating costs? The land valuation is $960,000 -- 3 days of SD#68 salaries & benefits: destroys forest ● Alternatives? Community wants to protect Pioneer forest in perpetuity, care for it, keep it the special place it is. We have ideas.
- 10. Will SD68 work with us to find alternatives? Will SD#68 Work With Us? ● Halt the redesignation proposal ● Explore all options with community ● Let's work together to save Pioneer forest ● Secure a long-term, living asset that will reap positive returns for this and future generations ● I would like to invite all the Trustees to come and visit the forest, walk it with Friends and experience first-hand why it is worth so much more as a living forest.
