Lego Cloud SAP Virtualization Week 2012Benoit Hudzia
This session will demonstrate that by extending KVM we can deliver none-disruptively the next level of IaaS platform modularization. We will first show instantaneous live migration of VM. Then we will introduce the memory aggregation concept, and finally how to achieve full operational flexibility by dis-aggregating the datacenter resource to its core elements.
Modularizing and aggregating physical resources in a datacenter depends not only on low-latency networking, but also on software techniques to deliver such capabilities. In the session we will present some practical features and results of our work, as well as discuss implementation details. Among these features are delivering high-performance, transparent, and partially fault tolerant memory aggregation; and reducing the downtime of live migration using post-copy implementations.
We will present and discuss methods of transparently integrating with the MMU at the OS level, without impacting a running VM;
We will then introfuce the Hecatonchire project ( http://www.hecatonchire.com ) which aim at the disaggregation of datacenter resources and enable true utility computing.

NATIONAL PARK “SKADAR LAKE”
Skadar Lake, bordered on the east by Albania, is encircled on three sides by Montenegrin mountains. It is a national park and the largest bird preserve in Europe. In the rainy season the lake is large and inundated, and in the summer, the shores are bare and peaceful. Always enchantingly beautiful, the lake is 43 kilometres long, 14 km wide with an average depth of 7 meters and is rich with fresh water all year round. When the snow melts on the mountains, it is filled by the waters of the Moraca, Crnica, Plavnica and Rijeka Crnojevica rivers. The water of the lake is crystal clear not only because it is a preserved national park but also because it has about fifty active springs which supply the lake with clean water. The most famous one is the Raduç spring, located on the deepest spot of the Skadar Lake.
The lake hosts over 270 bird species, including some which are now rare, such as blue heron or Dalmatian pelican, black ibis, ducks, snipes, gulls...All these birds live here because of the abundance of fish. The silver carp and bleak are unique here. By swimming up the Bojana River eels reach the lake from the sea.
In addition to the beauty of the landscape, the shores of Skadar Lake have a number of islets with original small monasteries, renowned for their long tradition of monasticism, including Beska, Moracnik and Starcevo.
There are also fishing towns on the shore, such as Virpazar and Rijeka Crnojevica, famous for its triple-arched.

How AOL Advertising Uses NoSQL to Make Millions of Smart Targeting Decisions ...DATAVERSITY
Real-time content, offer and ad targeting decisions must happen quickly. When a user requests information from a web application, a processing clock starts, requiring a decision in as little as 40 msec. Delays in targeting decisions lead to delays in responding to the user. These delays can lead to user dissatisfaction and, ultimately, loss of audience and revenue.
This session describes how AOL Advertising uses Hadoop to create sophisticated user profiles and NoSQL database technology from Couchbase to access those profiles in real-time, with sub-millisecond latency. This architecture leaves the bulk of the processing time budget for improved content, offer and ad targeting and even real-time content customization.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

This chart shows the relative performance of WebSphere Version 7 for z/OS running the DayTrader 2.0 benchmark (JPA 2.0) on zEnterprise hardware compared to z10. The chart has 3 bars which demonstrates both the hardware and software performance improvements possible for applications running on zEnterprise and that exploit the caching capabilities of WebSphere Version 7 and the WebSphere Version 7 Feature Pack.. The chart has 3 bars: The first bar is the DayTrader application running without any data caching on Version 7 on z10 hardware. This is the baseline. The second bar shows the performance improvement due to the software. It is the DayTrader application running with data caching on Version 7 and the JPA Feature Pack. This improves performance by about 35%. The third bar is the improvement due to the hardware. It is exactly the same software configuration as the second bar but on the zEnterprise hardware. This improves performance another 43% over the second bar and 93% over the baseline. JPA is the Java EE standard for object-relational persistence and was first introduced as part of Java EE 5. JPA 2.0 (JSR-317) updates object-relational capabilities with important developer capabilities and enhancements. The WebSphere Application Server JPA implementation is based on Apache OpenJPA, a leading open source Java persistence framework. OpenJPA offers a powerful caching infrastructure. Applications that can exploit JPA caching can realize significant performance improvements. Caching optimizations are found in both the base WebSphere Version 7 releases as well as the Version 7 JPA Feature Pack. As is frequently the case, the degree of improvement depends on the application’s data reference patterns. In DayTrader case, about 30% of the software performance increase is due to performance improvements in the base V7 WebSphere release (ie V7.0.0.9), and another 5% is due to performance improvements in the JPA Feature Pack. Running the exact same WebSphere application and middleware on zEnterprise hardware alone yielded a 43% increase in performance.
Main Points: Customers are looking at workloads from the complete enterprise lifecycle regardless of the platform. When looking at software we must look at this complete lifecycle from customer requirements for that workload to designing, building, testing deploying, and optimizing the workload for optimal performance, efficiency, and cost. These new announcements provide benefits in each stage of the lifecycle. First, with looking at a fit for purpose strategy to ensure the right requirements are defined so that the right workload is placed on the right platform allowing for existing and new workloads to co-locate on the platform of choice. With our Rational developer tools, we enable customers to make the best utilization of skills, and resources to develop on modern platforms that save them time and money and make it easier to develop without worrying about which platform then need to develop the application on. Implementing and deploy workloads across heterogeneous environments can be difficult and sometimes impossible to manage. With SOA and implementation tools, we can now take applications and exploit them as services for reuse and sharing among applications. Managing the services is required in a heterogeneous environment. zManager assists in the management of zEnterprise but when you want to extend past the zEnterprise, you need products in our Tivoli line that helps you gain visibility, security, and automation with all the services in your enterprise. Lastly, with business rules, social collaboration, and advanced case management, we need to advance the business intelligence of the information and ensure we can make business decisions timely.
Main points…. In today's complex and rapidly evolving world, it's often impossible to deliver a single system or application that satisfies a constantly changing set of requirements across the entire value chain. The Rational Jazz collaboration platform and IBM Rational Team Concert encourages this collaboration. A unified team infrastructure including support for System z* and POWER7* processor-based systems helps streamline the entire application-development and deployment lifecycle across all zEnterprise operating environments. It helps unite the development silos with a common team-based programming and collaborative application lifecycle management solution across all zEnterprise environments. The new RTC 3.0 version now provides a single unifying platform for all zEnterpirse environments, including z/OS, AIX and Linux. Customer Example: Business challenge: SoforTe’s customers typically use development tools that are no longer supported and therefore have high maintenance costs. SoforTe wishes to help its customers modernize their environments by providing advice on new solutions and developing interfaces between products to easily integrate new solutions into its customers’ environments. “ Based on the Eclipse standard, the open Rational Jazz® platform, the use of Rational Developer for System z, and Rational Team Concert for System z have provided a 15 to 20 percent more productive System z application development environment.” — Udo Partsch, Application Development Manager, SorforTe Solution: SoforTe chose to implement IBM Rational Developer for System z v7.6 on an IBM System z10 Business Class server to provide a powerful development environment for its customers. By combining RDz and Rational Team Concert for System z, the solution enables SoforTe’s customers to easily integrate their existing software configuration management into a flexible and productive development environment. Benefits: More effective and productive teamwork Transparent work item management processing across all IT roles Easy-to-use GUI with familiar look and feel Development across multiple languages, enabling developers to move between languages Some Background What’s new: Single integrated multi-platform product Advanced dependency analysis and build capabilities Deployment capability ISPF client Integrated with other Jazz products Features / Business Value: Lower software costs Consolidate platform specific change management and source control systems into a single solution Agile integrated planning and processes Client Benefits: Lower acquisition and total cost of ownership Better productivity Better quality Improved governance Announce Date Nov. 9 (eGA 12/10)
Main point While ISPF was great 30 years ago, we know modern GUI tools often used in distributed environments are far more efficient. These tools have been used in high schools, colleges and universities for many years, so younger developers can more easily adopt them and quickly become proficient. There are modern GUI tools for the mainframe, but many mainframe customers simply are unaware of them and the efficiency gains they offer. Rational tools for software development can help streamline the multi-platform application development, debugging and deploying applications in this heterogeneous zEnterprise environment. The new Rational Developer for zEnterprise v8.0 simplifies the edit, compile, debug and test cycle, even when running in a multiplatform environment. Typically this type of capability would require multiple point tools, runtimes, separate development staff and duplicate, or worse, different processes–creating a lot of redundancy and support overhead, not to mention extra licensing costs. Customers can realize significant productivity and efficiency gains through this standard development and unit-test environment for z/OS, Linux, AIX* and other platforms. Some more background What’s new: Platform development support including Power, System z, and EGL Productivity enhancing tools for application development and maintenance Web service creation scenarios across hardware systems Faster code validation and creation than traditional mixed development tools Better performance for system access and task completion Features / Business Value: Faster code creation with embedded code creation templates, compare editors, real-time code validation, and integrated editors for a modern development experience Cross-platform debugging including z/OS, Linux for System z, Power, and xSeries Increased usability for typical development operations cuts development time Client Benefits: Enhanced developer productivity Faster time-to-market Increased application quality Lower development cost Announce Date Oct. 26 (eGA 12/3)
Main Point The new Rational Asset Analyzer v6.0 now integrates with WebSphere ILOG Business Rules Management System 7.0. With Rational Asset Analyzer, Version 6, customers can reduce the complexity of software development projects by providing your designers and analysts with access to up-to-date knowledge of application components, their structures, relationships and interactions with the data. Armed with this information, your staff can more easily supplement outdated or nonexistent documentation with the newest application changes. And, with the same application knowledge available to all team members, you can improve process and team efficiency throughout the development lifecycle. The Rational Asset Analyzer products also help improve team understanding and communication through customized, annotated metadata gathered through comprehensive scanning processes and compiled in an IBM DB2® data server. Enables you to gather and work with knowledge about application structure, embedded business rules, relationships, control flows and interdependencies with the databases, transactions and batch jobs Helps identify the business rules in an application and where those rules are in the source enabling them to be extracted and managed in a business rules management system like ILOG JRules Improves process and team efficiency by making the same application knowledge available to all team members in a shared repository accessible through web and Eclipse interfaces Provides interactive textual and graphic displays that can improve understanding of mainframe and distributed assets and their relationships and help shorten the learning curve for new and experienced developers WebSphere ILOG Business Rules for z/OS GA OCT 15 Our customers asked for smarter application design choices. They are having to make critical rules decisions much too early, prior to the design stage. Not only will WebSphere ILOG Business Rules for z/OS help customers to make rules deployment choices sensibly during the design cycle but this integrated bundle combines functionality from several products into one, low-cost package!

IBM CONFIDENTIAL UNTIL ANNOUNCEMENT Main points: Based on IBM labs tests and some early beta customer experiences, IBM has exceeded this objective and delivered the most aggressive performance improvements of any DB2 release in the last 20 years. As many of these improvements are down to internal DB2 code optimization and exploitation of the latest System z hardware instructions, most customers can expect to see CPU savings of 5-10% in their main DB2 workload without any application changes3 being required. Customers running the following types of workload can expect even bigger CPU savings: Workloads previously constrained due to a lack of virtual storage in DB2 Version 8 or Version 9. Distributed applications connecting to DB2 via the DRDA protocol (e.g. SAP). Workloads using native SQL stored procedures. Efficiency enhancements with commonly-used functions4 have shown CPU cost reductions of up to 20% during initial IBM labs testing. Workloads with heavy concurrent insert activity, especially sequential insert where rows are inserted sequentially where savings of 5-40% have been observed in the labs. Complex query workloads, where up to 20% CPU reduction has been observed with no change to the access path. Greater savings are possible where a more efficient access path is selected. (All of these figures assume an upgrade from DB2 9 to DB2 10. For those customers considering a move directly from DB2 Version 8 to DB2 105, the net impact could be even bigger ) Time Travel Temporal Many IT systems need to keep some form of historical information in addition to the current status for a given business object. For example, a financial institution may need to retain the previous addresses of a customer as well as the one they are currently living at, and know what address applied at any given time. Equally, an insurance company may need to know what level of cover was in place two months ago when a claim was made. Previously, these kinds of requirements would have required the DBA and application developers to spend valuable time creating and testing the code and associated database design to support the historical perspective, while minimizing any performance impact. The new temporal data support in DB2 10 provides this functionality as part of the core database engine. The DBA indicates which tables/columns require temporal support when they are created, and DB2 will automatically maintain the history whenever an update is made to the data. Elegant SQL support allows the developer to query the database with an “as of” date, which will return the information that was current at the specified time. DB2 maintains a separate “history table” for updated rows in a temporal table. This is completely transparent to the developer, who codes SQL against the main table as usual. When a row is updated, DB2 will store a version of the old row in the history table before updating the current row in the main table. Similarly, when a row is deleted it is first copied to the history table before being removed from the main table. DB2 maintains system timestamps (the SYS_START and SYS_END columns shown) to record the period during which a given version of the row was current Announce: Oct 19 General Availability of DB2 10 for z/OS Worldwide availability October 22, 2010 Largest Beta Ever 23 WW customers +10 Extended Beta Over 80 vendors Beta Focus Areas Stability / regression Performance & virtual storage New function In every new release there are some features which appeal to certain customers more than others. For DB2 10, every beta customer has said they will move to this version, which is unprecedented. Improved operational efficiency for out-of-the-box savings Version 10 delivers great value by reducing CPU usage. Compared to previous releases of DB2 for z/OS, most customers can achieve out-of-the-box CPU savings of five to ten percent for traditional workloads and up to 20 percent for some workloads. DB2 reduces CPU usage by optimizing processor times and memory access, leveraging the latest processor improvements, larger amounts of memory, solid-state drives, and z/OS enhancements. Improved scalability and constraint relief can add to the savings. Productivity improvements for database and systems administrators can drive even more savings. In Version 10, performance improvements focus on reducing CPU processing time without causing significant administration or application changes. Most performance improvements are implemented by simply migrating to Version 10 and rebinding. You gain significant performance improvements from distributed data facility (DDF) optimization, buffer pool enhancements, parallelism enhancements, and more. Most customers should see 5% - 10% CPU reduction out of the box after rebinding. Some workloads and customer situations can reduce CPU time more. While versions 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 generally increased CPU times by a small amount, less than 5%, version 8 increased CPU time by 5% to 10% for most customers. DB2 9 often reduced CPU a little or increased very little (less than 2%). New function, improved scalability, and faster hardware compensated for the increases in CPU time. Using the new function could change the increases into reductions, particularly with DB2 V8 and multi-row fetch. Early DB2 10 performance benchmarking and customer experience has shown that most customers can expect to get 5% to 10% CPU reduction after rebinding. Some customers will get more and some less. Some situations can reduce CPU time more than that. Customers who have scalability issues, such as virtual storage constraints or latching can see higher improvements. Opportunities for tuning can take advantage of memory improvements. High volume, short-running distributed transactions can take advantage of CPU reductions, using release deallocate. Concurrent sequential insert can be reduced from 5% - 40%. Queries can be improved as much as 20% without access path change, and more for better access paths. A workload with native SQL procedures has shown up to 20% CPU reduction. For DB2 utilities, customers moving from DB2 9 should expect a small (0% to 7%) reduction in CPU times varying by utility, while customers moving from DB2 V8 will see larger CPU reductions in the range of 20%. Productivity improvements: Improvements in SQL and XML improve productivity for those who develop new applications and for those who are porting from other platforms. Automating, reducing, or eliminating tasks, and avoiding manual invocation improves productivity and can help avoid problems. Resiliency improvements for virtual storage and availability increase productivity. DB2 10 improvements make the install, migration, and service processes faster and more reliable, including the ability to skip from V8 to DB2 10. Innovations in Version 10 drive new value in resiliency through scalability improvements and fewer outages, whether those outages are planned or unplanned. Scalability delivers the ability to handle five to ten times more concurrent users in a single DB2 subsystem than in previous releases of DB2 for z/OS (as many as 20,000 concurrent threads). Improved availability is supported by schema evolution, or data definition on demand, and manageability enhancements for query performance.
Main points: The new tools have been redesigned to focus on eliminating outages, improving performance, reducing resource consumption, reduce complexity and improve automation. Day 1 utility support for DB2 10 function. Some of the key enhancements are: Flashcopy support at data-set level for COPY, RECOVER, REORG, LOAD, & REBUILD INDEX, For ex: can create an image copy data set to be a transaction-consistent image copy data set with no application outage Significant enhancement to REORG to reduce outages, including Support new Online Schema in DB2 10 and hash table, both before and after conversion to hash format, Improved performance for part-level REORG w/ non-partitioning indexes and REORG INDEX to reduce ET, SHRLEVEL CHANGE support for LOB table space for both LOY YES/NO w/ no mapping table required Major enhancements to RUNSTATS incl. zIIP support, autonomic features, page & auto-sampling rates Admin Tool: DBA-managed performance improvements - Easily migrate existing tables to hash access, Manage new Security models and autonomic statistics collection, Rollout Application BiTemporal Data – “as of” HPU - new internal format to UNLOAD (perf.

Let me spend a minute with some examples of the types of extensions we’re delivering on top of the Unified Resource Manager. Integrated Operational Dashboards to show events and status from all operating systems within the zEnterprise environment Relating those events to build KPIs for the relevant business services, such as throughput (from transactions to orders) or response time to meet service level objectives Heterogeneous data – again regardless of platform origin – of two primary flavors. First is performance data in a performance management database and second is configuration data in a CMDB. Providing this consistent and shared view of data is critical to making the organization more agile and responsive From a business service modeling point of view, Tivoli has created internal models that capture the aspects around business services from the development (with Rational) to the deployment (via Tivoli) which also factors in business logic (e.g. WebSphere) so that we can assist customers in every aspect of managing their business services (both the IT and the business analytics). From creation of the service topology (TSAM) to offering the service (TSRM) to deploying (TPM) to monitoring (TBSM/ITM) and event management (Omnibus/Impact) to Service quality management (TNSQM) where sharing the same service model means better integration and sharing of the assets and information related to the service and where it's running (including dynamically discovering elements/topology (TADDM/ITCAM).
Main Point: Integrated Service Management for zEnterprise targets creating a single vision across Service, Platform and Hardware Management. It will include working with zManager to provide both HW platform (z, p, x) and SW view. We have created offerings targeted at Service Management related components for zEnterprise. We are also adding two new offerings. Cloud Management for zEnterprise IBM Service Management on System z supports applications and services that enable a cloud-based service model to: • Achieve visibility and control in the cloud environment for service automation, provisioning, management, security and change. • Define and manage the resources necessary to tailor the cloud environment to workload needs. • Manage the transition from a temporary, preproduction environment for developing and testing the cloud to full operation. Batch Modernization for zEnterprise IBM provides a single point of control for batch workloads in the data center, enabling organizations to: • Run Java™ batch jobs across heterogeneous resources from a single management console. • Manage dependencies across platforms from that same console. • Achieve parallel processing and policy-based execution of heterogeneous workloads.
Main Point: Enterprise Security Hub. This powerful package of seven modular, seamlessly-integrated tools for the System z platform addresses the most critical security requirements today: * Simplified administration and monitoring, reducing the time to perform everyday tasks * Compliance with both internal security policies and external government laws and regulations * Automation, for a faster and more consistent response to problems with and reduced costs * Reporting, to readily, efficiently and consistently demonstrate compliance, and to proactively detect problems before they have a chance to create a business impact ==================================== zSecure Audit is used by many customers to implement automated baseline analysis of their z/OS environment, including RACF. This means that customers identify the desired settings of their parameters, access controls, etc. and zSecure monitors that changes made do not exceed the baselines. In addition, zSecure Audit contains a knowledge base that identifies parameters, e.g., in PPT, that do not conform with IBM standards; dangerous coding signatures in SVC, PC, APF modules; excessive access and incorrect RACF profile fields, etc. The combination of knowledge base driven analysis to clean-up the environment, and baselines to guard against reverting to previous (incorrect) settings, helps customers improve the quality and security of their z/OS systems. Finally, the "Access Monitor" in zSecure Admin version 1.11 helps customers prune down the access rights without impacting availability. Rob van Hoboken zSecure architect =========================================== IBM Security zSecure suite V1.12 (formerly IBM Tivoli zSecure suite) consists of multiple individual components designed to help you administer your mainframe security server, monitor for threats, assist in compliance management and auditing, audit usage and configurations, and enforcing policy compliance.
