High performance and flexible networking
High performance and flexible networkingJohn Berkmans This document summarizes a paper presented at the 11th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '14) held from April 2-4, 2014 in Seattle, WA. The paper proposes NetVM, a platform that uses virtualization to run complex network functions at line speed on commodity servers while providing flexibility. NetVM leverages the DPDK framework to allow virtual machines to directly access packets from the NIC without kernel involvement. It introduces innovations such as inter-VM communication through shared memory, a hypervisor switch for state-dependent packet routing, and security domains. Evaluation shows NetVM can process packets at 10Gbps throughput across multiple VMs, over 250% faster than existing SR

Clo architecture for video surveillance service based on p2 p and cloud compu...manish bhandare This document proposes an architecture for video surveillance services based on peer-to-peer (P2P) and cloud computing technologies. The architecture aims to address issues with traditional centralized video surveillance systems, such as limited bandwidth, storage space, and scalability. It uses concepts from Hadoop such as data replication across multiple nodes. The proposed system has directory nodes that manage metadata and peer nodes that store video data. Each video is replicated across a primary peer node and two secondary peer nodes. This allows the system to be scalable, fault tolerant, efficient and reliable. The document describes the system components, operation flows for video recording and monitoring, and discusses implementation considerations.

NetApp Unified Scale-Out/Clustered Storage
NetApp Unified Scale-Out/Clustered StorageNetApp Today’s data centers are being asked to do more with little additional financial support forthcoming. They are under a constant barrage to do things faster, more inexpensively and with no disruption to the revenue-‐generating part of the company. Frequently, they are experiencing 24 X 7 operations, numerous new application deployments and explosive data growth. Data storage often becomes a crucial limiting factor to meeting these stringent demands.
Faced with these seemingly insurmountable challenges, CIO’s are discovering that the old way of responding to application and data growth is unacceptable. That is, the outdated “rip and replace” method to improve capacity and IO performance, which often meant disruptive migration, doesn’t work anymore. Instead, a more nimble alternative is needed. In response to this need for storage agility, NetApp has recently released a new version of their storage operating environment called Data ONTAP® 8.1. This new software update successfully eliminates many problems of typical monolithic or legacy storage systems.

STUDY ON EMERGING APPLICATIONS ON DATA PLANE AND OPTIMIZATION POSSIBILITIES
STUDY ON EMERGING APPLICATIONS ON DATA PLANE AND OPTIMIZATION POSSIBILITIESijdpsjournal By programming both the data plane and the control plane, network operators can adapt their networks to
their needs. Thanks to research over the past decade, this concept has more formulized and more
technologically feasible. However, since control plane programmability came first, it has already been
successfully implemented in the real network and is beginning to pay off. Today, the data plane
programmability is evolving very rapidly to reach this level, attracting the attention of researchers and
developers: Designing data plane languages, application development on it, formulizing software switches
and architecture that can run data plane codes and the applications, increasing performance of software
switch, and so on. As the control plane and data plane become more open, many new innovations and
technologies are emerging, but some experts warn that consumers may be confused as to which of the many
technologies to choose. This is a testament to how much innovation is emerging in the network. This paper
outlines some emerging applications on the data plane and offers opportunities for further improvement
and optimization. Our observations show that most of the implementations are done in a test environment
and have not been tested well enough in terms of performance, but there are many interesting works, for
example, previous control plane solutions are being implemented in the data plane.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF BIG DATA PROCESSING OF CLOAK-REDUCE
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF BIG DATA PROCESSING OF CLOAK-REDUCEijdpsjournal Big Data has introduced the challenge of storing and processing large volumes of data (text, images, and
videos). The success of centralised exploitation of massive data on a node is outdated, leading to the
emergence of distributed storage, parallel processing and hybrid distributed storage and parallel
processing frameworks.
The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the load balancing and task allocation strategy of our
hybrid distributed storage and parallel processing framework CLOAK-Reduce. To achieve this goal, we
first performed a theoretical approach of the architecture and operation of some DHT-MapReduce. Then,
we compared the data collected from their load balancing and task allocation strategy by simulation.
Finally, the simulation results show that CLOAK-Reduce C5R5 replication provides better load balancing
efficiency, MapReduce job submission with 10% churn or no churn.

Co-Design Architecture for Exascale
Co-Design Architecture for Exascaleinside-BigData.com Dror Goldenberg from Mellanox presented this deck at the HPC Advisory Council Switzerland Conference.
“High performance computing has begun scaling beyond Petaflop performance towards the Exaflop mark. One of the major concerns throughout the development toward such performance capability is scalability – at the component level, system level, middleware and the application level. A Co-Design approach between the development of the software libraries and the underlying hardware can help to overcome those scalability issues and to enable a more efficient design approach towards the Exascale goal.”

In Dark Dynamism, I focus on my ideas I played with over the last 8 years, inspired by Balaji Srinivasan, Alexander Bard and many people from the Game B and IDW scenes.
Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?
Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?Christian Folini Everybody is driven by incentives. Good incentives persuade us to do the right thing and patch our servers. Bad incentives make us eat unhealthy food and follow stupid security practices.
There is a huge resource problem in IT, especially in the IT security industry. Therefore, you would expect people to pay attention to the existing incentives and the ones they create with their budget allocation, their awareness training, their security reports, etc.
But reality paints a different picture: Bad incentives all around! We see insane security practices eating valuable time and online training annoying corporate users.
But it's even worse. I've come across incentives that lure companies into creating bad products, and I've seen companies create products that incentivize their customers to waste their time.
It takes people like you and me to say "NO" and stand up for real security!

Is Your QA Team Still Working in Silos? Here's What to Do.
Is Your QA Team Still Working in Silos? Here's What to Do.marketing943205 Often, QA teams find themselves working in silos: the mobile team focused solely on app functionality, the web team on their portal, and API testers on their endpoints, with limited visibility into how these pieces truly connect. This separation can lead to missed integration bugs that only surface in production, causing frustrating customer experiences like order errors or payment failures. It can also mean duplicated efforts, communication gaps, and a slower overall release cycle for those innovative F&B features everyone is waiting for.
If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place! The carousel below, "Is Your QA Team Still Working in Silos?", visually explores these common pitfalls and their impact on F&B quality. More importantly, it introduces a collaborative, unified approach with Qyrus, showing how an all-in-one testing platform can help you break down these barriers, test end-to-end workflows seamlessly, and become a champion for comprehensive quality in your F&B projects. Dive in to see how you can help deliver a five-star digital experience, every time!
Developing Product-Behavior Fit: UX Research in Product Development by Krysta...
Developing Product-Behavior Fit: UX Research in Product Development by Krysta...UXPA Boston What if product-market fit isn't enough?
We’ve all encountered companies willing to spend time and resources on product-market fit, since any solution needs to solve a problem for people able and willing to pay to solve that problem, but assuming that user experience can be “added” later.
Similarly, value proposition-what a solution does and why it’s better than what’s already there-has a valued place in product development, but it assumes that the product will automatically be something that people can use successfully, or that an MVP can be transformed into something that people can be successful with after the fact. This can require expensive rework, and sometimes stops product development entirely; again, UX professionals are deeply familiar with this problem.
Solutions with solid product-behavior fit, on the other hand, ask people to do tasks that they are willing and equipped to do successfully, from purchasing to using to supervising. Framing research as developing product-behavior fit implicitly positions it as overlapping with product-market fit development and supports articulating the cost of neglecting, and ROI on supporting, user experience.
In this talk, I’ll introduce product-behavior fit as a concept and a process and walk through the steps of improving product-behavior fit, how it integrates with product-market fit development, and how they can be modified for products at different stages in development, as well as how this framing can articulate the ROI of developing user experience in a product development context.
Refactoring meta-rauc-community: Cleaner Code, Better Maintenance, More Machines
Refactoring meta-rauc-community: Cleaner Code, Better Maintenance, More MachinesLeon Anavi RAUC is a widely used open-source solution for robust and secure software updates on embedded Linux devices. In 2020, the Yocto/OpenEmbedded layer meta-rauc-community was created to provide demo RAUC integrations for a variety of popular development boards. The goal was to support the embedded Linux community by offering practical, working examples of RAUC in action - helping developers get started quickly.
Since its inception, the layer has tracked and supported the Long Term Support (LTS) releases of the Yocto Project, including Dunfell (April 2020), Kirkstone (April 2022), and Scarthgap (April 2024), alongside active development in the main branch. Structured as a collection of layers tailored to different machine configurations, meta-rauc-community has delivered demo integrations for a wide variety of boards, utilizing their respective BSP layers. These include widely used platforms such as the Raspberry Pi, NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8, Rockchip, Allwinner, STM32MP, and NVIDIA Tegra.
Five years into the project, a significant refactoring effort was launched to address increasing duplication and divergence in the layer’s codebase. The new direction involves consolidating shared logic into a dedicated meta-rauc-community base layer, which will serve as the foundation for all supported machines. This centralization reduces redundancy, simplifies maintenance, and ensures a more sustainable development process.
The ongoing work, currently taking place in the main branch, targets readiness for the upcoming Yocto Project release codenamed Wrynose (expected in 2026). Beyond reducing technical debt, the refactoring will introduce unified testing procedures and streamlined porting guidelines. These enhancements are designed to improve overall consistency across supported hardware platforms and make it easier for contributors and users to extend RAUC support to new machines.
The community's input is highly valued: What best practices should be promoted? What features or improvements would you like to see in meta-rauc-community in the long term? Let’s start a discussion on how this layer can become even more helpful, maintainable, and future-ready - together.
