Designing High Performance Computing Architectures for Reliable Space Applica...Fisnik Kraja
This document summarizes Fisnik Kraja's PhD defense on designing high performance computing architectures for reliable space applications. Kraja proposed an architecture using parallel processing nodes connected via a radiation-hardened management unit. Benchmarking of the 2DSSAR image reconstruction application showed optimizing for shared memory, distributed memory, and heterogeneous CPU/GPU systems. The best performance was achieved using a heterogeneous node with a multi-core CPU and dual GPUs, providing a 34.46x speedup. Kraja's conclusions recommended a design using powerful shared memory parallel processing nodes each with CPUs, GPUs, and distributed memory only if multiple nodes are needed.

- There are two main CPU architectures: RISC and CISC. RISC includes ARM and MIPS, while CISC includes x86 and VAX.

Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, officially abbreviated as DDR SDRAM, is a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) class of memory integrated circuits used in computers. DDR SDRAM, also retroactively called DDR1 SDRAM, has been superseded by DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM, and DDR4 SDRAM, and soon will be superseded by DDR5 SDRAM. None of its successors are forward or backward compatible with DDR1 SDRAM, meaning DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules will not work in DDR1-equipped motherboards, and vice versa.
Compared to single data rate (SDR) SDRAM, the DDR SDRAM interface makes higher transfer rates possible by more strict control of the timing of the electrical data and clock signals. Implementations often have to use schemes such as phase-locked loops and self-calibration to reach the required timing accuracy.[4][5] The interface uses double pumping (transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal) to double data bus bandwidth without a corresponding increase in clock frequency. One advantage of keeping the clock frequency down is that it reduces the signal integrity requirements on the circuit board connecting the memory to the controller. The name "double data rate" refers to the fact that a DDR SDRAM with a certain clock frequency achieves nearly twice the bandwidth of a SDR SDRAM running at the same clock frequency, due to this double pumping.

OSINT RF Reverse Engineering by Marc NewlinEC-Council
IoT devices frequently include obscure RF transceivers with little or no documentation, which can hinder the reverse engineering research process. Fortunately, regulatory bodies like the United States’ FCC contain a wealth of useful information.
In order to certify wireless devices for sale in different markets, manufacturers must submit their products to test labs which evaluate the behavior of their RF emissions. The test reports often contain detailed physical layer operating characteristics, including RF channels, modulation, and frequency hopping behavior.
By translating regulatory test reports into GNU Radio flow graphs, a researcher is able to focus their efforts on understanding packet formats and protocol behavior instead of grinding away at the physical layer. In this talk, I will discuss the techniques I used while researching the MouseJack vulnerabilities, which allowed me to expedite the process of evaluating a large number of vulnerable devices.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice. In precedenza ha lavorato a migrazioni e corsi di formazione su LibreOffice per diverse amministrazioni pubbliche e privati. Da gennaio 2020 lavora in SUSE come Software Release Engineer per Uyuni e SUSE Manager e quando non segue la sua passione per i computer e per Geeko coltiva la sua curiosità per l'astronomia (da cui deriva il suo nickname deneb_alpha).

Staggering spi performance for arduino
1. Staggering SPI
Performance
Or how I learned to stop bit-banging and love SPDR
--Dg
2. Project background
• Multi-led project
• Shift register based controllers
• Software PWM
• 40-60% cpu use target
Wi nøt tei a høliday in Sweden this yer?
3. Software PWM
• 32 rgb leds, 96 individual leds
• 12 8-bit shift registers to turn leds on/off
• 12 bytes output per round
• 128 levels of color desired
• ~100Hz refresh rate wanted
• 12,800 rounds of sending 12 bytes/second
See the løveli lakes
4. NO BITBANGING
• Bit twiddling may be fun, but it is slow
• Order of magnitude slower than hardware
spi - numbers later
The wonderful telephøne system
5. Arduino Hardware SPI
• Suggestions for use found online suggest:
while(morestuff) {
data = morestuff;
SPDR = data;
while(!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF)));
}
And mani interesting furry animals
6. Waiting for ?
• 63.2µs / 12 byte round of output
• 12,500 rounds/second - 80% cpu used
• 28% of time spent waiting for SPI to be
ready
• waiting sucks
Including the majestic møøse
7. Staggered SPI output
• Do work while waiting:
data = stuff;
SPDR=data;
while(morestuff) {
data = morestuff;
while(!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF)));
SPDR=data;
}
A Møøse once bit my sister ...
8. Staggered numbers
• 49.1µs/round - 61% cpu spent doing PWM
• 7% of that still spent spinning for SPSR
• More to peel out?
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and the star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings
of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”
9. Squeezing more
• Loop unrolling buys more time
• 42.4µs/round - 53% cpu usage
SPDR = data; data=morestuff; SPSRWait;
SPDR = data; data=morestuff; SPSRWait;
SPDR = data; data=morestuff; SPSRWait;
SPDR = data; data=morestuff; SPSRWait;
....
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
10. Bitbanging?
• 586.6µs/round
• 73% cpu usage
• only 1000 rounds - 10 levels of color at
100Hz or 20 at 50Hz
• any higher flickers
Did you kno that Møøse like bit banging?
11. More techniques
• Smoother PWM by spreading out work
• Hiding SPSR waiting in interrupts
• Clock counting, hand assembler
• Take advantage of avr opcodes *(--pData)
becomes a single opcode (dec and
derefence)
They dø! Dirty, dirty bit banging møøses...
