This document discusses thin client technology. It defines a thin client as a low-cost computing device that works in an application server environment and does not require powerful local processors or storage. A thin client network allows users to access applications, files, and other resources stored on centralized servers. Setting up a thin client system requires server hardware, terminal services software from Microsoft or Citrix, and low-powered thin client devices. Thin clients offer advantages over traditional PCs such as lower total cost of ownership and easier management and security. However, they may have disadvantages for multimedia or software that requires local processing power.
Thin client computing moves user data and applications from desktop computers to centralized servers in professionally managed data centers. This reduces the total cost of ownership for IT infrastructure. A thin client is a simple user interface device that accesses computational services over a network from a server. Key enabling technologies are remote display protocols that allow graphical displays to be served across the network to thin clients. Thin clients are more secure and easier to manage than traditional desktop computers since the server consolidates resources and access points.
Thin client machines offer potential benefits like lower costs, centralized management, and energy efficiency compared to traditional fat clients. However, thin clients require substantial upfront infrastructure investments and may not support all tasks like multimedia. Schools should carefully consider their objectives and needs, learn from others' experiences, and plan for supporting both thin and fat clients.
Going Thin: Implementing Thin Client Technology in a Library Reference AreaRichard Bernier
The document discusses implementing a thin client technology model in a library reference area as an alternative to traditional desktop computers. It describes the advantages of thin clients over PCs, including reduced maintenance needs, improved security, and space savings. It provides details on server and thin client hardware costs and requirements. The library project replaced 10 desktops with thin clients connected to two Windows 2000 servers, realizing the benefits of lower maintenance requirements and a more secure computing environment.
Thin clients are computer programs that rely heavily on a server to fulfill computational roles rather than performing these roles independently like traditional fat clients. Thin clients have their roots in terminals used to access mainframe computers and evolved into graphical user interfaces powered by X server software running on the client. Thin client infrastructures allow computations to be shared across multiple clients connected to a single server, amortizing computing power for improved efficiency.
Thin client computing involves using low-cost thin client terminals instead of traditional PCs. Thin clients have minimal local hardware and rely on a centralized server for processing and data storage. This reduces costs associated with hardware, maintenance, power consumption and IT staff. The main components are thin client terminals, thin client software, network connectivity and a server. Common protocols used include RDP, ICA and X11. Thin clients provide advantages like lower TCO, simplified management and security, but may impact performance for multimedia or graphics-heavy applications.
The document discusses virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), which allows users to access virtualized desktop environments running on remote servers in a data center. With VDI, desktop operating systems and applications are run within virtual machines on these centralized servers rather than locally on individual client devices. Users can access their virtual desktops from various locations through thin clients or other remote devices, with the experience being similar to using a local desktop. Benefits of VDI include easier management, security, mobility, and reduced costs compared to traditional desktop deployments.

One of the main design princples of ZFS is merging the management of physical volumes with individual filesystems. Instead of relying on an underlying volume manager, ZFS manages disks directly and aggregates them into pools from which individual filesystems are allocated. Storage servers using ZFS typically configure two pools: one pool onto which the system’s root filesystem is installed, and a second for the data to be managed by that system.
At Joyent we’ve taken a different approach and discarded the root pool in favor of a single system-wide pool. Not only does this approach free up an additional two drives to be used for main storage, it also provides us flexibility in upgrading system software, higher customer multitenancy, and ease of deploying new machines. In this talk, I’ll describe our overall architecture, talk about challenges we faced in constructing such an architecture, and characterize our experiences having deployed this model in production over the last 18 months.

VM live migration from one physical server to another is a key advantage of virtualization. It's used widely in the scenarios such as load balance / power consumption optimization inside the cluster and host maintenance, etc. Being able to do VM live migration as quickly as possible with no service interruption is regarded as a key competitiveness of the virtualization platform.
Xen has supported live migration for many years. However our recent study shows that Xen still has lots of room to improve, in the aspects of live migration elapsed time, service downtime and concurrency instance number. Several experimental enhancements have been added and the initial result looks pretty good. For instance, merely using memory comparison before migration can speed up the elapsed time by >2X in some cases per our evaluation. The policy to balance the CPU utilization and the compression ratio is also considered.

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).
"$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.

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.
