"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
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?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
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.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).

The Road to Semantics What We Did Create an ontology for specific use cases Establish a ‘proprietary standard” Begin to execute the use cases But a proprietary-standard does not scale Help build an industry standard Travel is a deeply interrelated industry value chain Travel distribution is a highly automated and realtime system: arguably, the largest eCommerce category on the internet The Industry need standards for interoperability The Open Travel Alliance: XML web services standards Others: ATPCO, IATA, Open Axis…
10. The Road to Semantics Ontology project, driven by interest in better governance, better search optimization and leverage, better marketing, merchandising, CRM and analytics Improved intra-domain and cross-domain search functionality Use OTA to drive adoption of car rental ontology, and thereafter other travel ontologies
12. Ontology Components offering CarRental Agent Vehicles ISO 1087 AvisCarRental Facility CarRentalFacility The ontology intends to model the Avis line of business, and from the perspective of sales and marketing, but not from the perspective of operations. Thus, functions that are not of interest to the consumer, sales staff or marketing staff are not included in the model.

14. What is the Ontology Ultimately Good For? Responding to customers the way a person might Natural language with semantic interpretation Making differential offers Determining or suggesting customer rates, cars Inferring and responding to customer intent “are you in town for …?” “may we suggest …” Providing powerful business analytics Heterogeneous facts in unique, ad hoc combination

17. Search Enhancement Enrich search results, adding ratings, video, prices, avails, amenities, locality etc. Search engines as a “front door” dramatically increase relevance by inclusion of more meaningful, synonymic tags
Buddy:Purely transactional interactions‘The best you can say is: it was uneventful’Competitive differentiationIn product, in serviceLack of granular marketingInability to search & book specific product“tail on the dog”After air, hotel Search for a rental from Avis or Budget via a partner site like Priceline or Orbitz or American AirlinesAll we know is you when, where and for how long you need a carThat’s like trying to recommend a book only knowing where, when and for how long you want to read
Buddy:Better Industry Partner Integrationjoint, coordinated, intelligent customer servicingBetter Product / Service Differentiationopening “facets” of the productBetter Merchandising & Distributionsearch engine & other relevant forumsFinding rather than searchinggoal-base, requirements-based, profile-based presentationWe can recommend a bookIf it is known you like non-fiction, history, & politicsIn the same way we can FIND you a rental vehicle if we knowThe nature of the tripWho and how many are goingThe budgetHow much luggage
Buddy:Why Semantic Technology?Flexibilityin classification of assets and featuresin interoperability between partnersPowermeaning-based search as opposed to static workflow; meet customer intent, rather than merely criteriaAssociationunify and associate disparate data, such as mashups, customer data, fleet datafederate information from across heterogeneous sourcessell ancillary services based on knowledge of core purchaseMarketing and Merchandisinguse search engines as a reservation “front door”present product based on what we know about the customerturn the rental “incident” into an “experience”Semantics provides the mechanism to provide better resultsIt provides flexibility for Avis and Budget to change the recommendation without requiring partners to make code changes. Important when the install base is large and changes are infrequent.

Rob:Can we add specific language examples:Did you want a sports car or a camaro specifically?Would you rather go to a different location or dates if the rates are lower, or stick with date/location
Rob:Suppliers can merchandise offerings in innovative ways, unique to the brand, that better fit customer needs and desires and differentiate from the competition. Take for example an airline wishing to allow the customer to search for “comfort oriented flights” that use certain attributes of the flight to create “synthetic categories” of availability. Here, key attributes such as leg room, media options, and other facts create a class of availabilities that offer greater comfort.One can imagine other ‘synthetic search’ scenarios, such as “disability friendly,” “commuter friendly,” “easiest connections” and the like.
Rob:Two primary factors in Search Engine IndexingRelevance – how many relevant searches will match your pagePage ranking – where in the ranking order does your page appearIf your page does not appear in the results of a relevant search, the page rank does not matterPage ranking scores have little to do with the language and meaning content of the pageConventional SEO is needed in addition to increased relevanceEnhance search across many search engines at once. Control the quality and criteria for relevance. Avoid the expense, upkeep and currency issues of intermediaries. As search engine functionality extends, take advantage of transactional as well as descriptive aspects of search results.Hilton could provide same as Pegasus. One point of leverage is semantics disintermediates aggregators.Ability to produce many more meaningful description tags – synonyms – that enhance relevance.-- provide results from Bing, Yahoo and Google as illustration-- not as good as it can be: we need to mock-up something even better.

Buddy:Partners might be able to pass meaningful metadata, allowing partners to make decisions on the fly concerning the offers, based on what is learned about the customer in one stage of the process. Here, for example, Continental may be able to provide Avis with information about the travelers that allows Avis to determine that it is a family, with one spouse probably on business, that is relatively affluent and in need of a car rental with lots of storage and accommodations for children.Ancillary partners of either Avis or Continental might also be “activated” on that basis – allowing for offers related to events, meals, accommodations and even baby sitters.This kind of reasoning is possible without a need for “pre-packaging” or a static infrastructure for doing so – the “smarts” are in the data that is being passed between partners, rather than in intermediary systems.
