create Calagator::Event 1250471938 Papers We Love @ PDX - Gorilla: A Fast, Scalable, In-Memory Time Series Database Roll back

description nil <p>This paper will be presented by Johannes Hoff.</p> <p> This paper describes how Facebook stores 700 million data points (timestamp and value) per minute and keeps 26 hours of it available in memory for fast access. We will mainly look at the compression algorithms making this possible.</p> <p>Here is the abstract:</p> <p> """</p> <p>Large-scale internet services aim to remain highly available and responsive in the presence of unexpected failures. Pro-viding this service often requires monitoring and analyzing tens of millions of measurements per second across a large number of systems, and one particularly effective solution is to store and query such measurements in a time series database (TSDB).</p> <p>A key challenge in the design of TSDBs is how to strike the right balance between efficiency, scalability, and relia-bility. In this paper we introduce Gorilla, Facebook’s in-memory TSDB. Our insight is that users of monitoring sys-tems do not place much emphasis on individual data points but rather on aggregate analysis, and recent data points are of much higher value than older points to quickly detect and diagnose the root cause of an ongoing problem. Gorilla op-timizes for remaining highly available for writes and reads, even in the face of failures, at the expense of possibly drop-ping small amounts of data on the write path. To improve query efficiency, we aggressively leverage compression tech-niques such as delta-of-delta timestamps and XOR’d floating point values to reduce Gorilla’s storage footprint by 10x. This allows us to store Gorilla’s data in memory, reduc-ing query latency by 73x and improving query throughput by 14x when compared to a traditional database (HBase)-backed time series data. This performance improvement has unlocked new monitoring and debugging tools, such as time series correlation search and more dense visualization tools. Gorilla also gracefully handles failures from a single-node to entire regions with little to no operational overhead.</p> <p><br>"""</p> <p> PDF: <a href="http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf"></a><a href="http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf" class="linkified">http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf</a></p> <p> <a href="https://github.com/papers-we-love/portland/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md">Reminder: Papers We Love PDX has a code of conduct.</a></p>

description nil The Secure Remote Password Cryptor (SRPC) addresses mobile app security in a post web-app world. SRPC provides HTTPS quality security without the explicit transfer of trust inherent in using HTTPS with PKI. SRPC is immune to HTTPS Man-in-the-Middle issues and also provides many features out-of-scope for HTTPS. SRPC requires a pair of libraries, one on the client device and one on the server. To create an easy way for mobile app developers to try SRPC, I've built a Erlang OTP system that acts as an SRPC tunnel to an "unaltered" HTTP server. The system is comprised of: - srpc_lib: Low-level functionality - srpc_srv: The SRPC protocol - srpc_elli: An Elli layer to expose srpc_srv to an elli app There are two optional pieces: - srpc_elli_proxy: Proxies request to the "unaltered" HTTP server - srpc_elli_lager: Lager module Finally, I have a test system for testing the iOS framework (Android is underway): - srpc_elli_test: Test implementation Presented by Paul Rogers, an independent software engineer with many years of development experience across multiple platforms using a number of different computer languages. He has a Master of Science in Mathematics, which helps him dig into the internals of cryptography, and a Master of Science in Physical Oceanography. This will likely be a small talk, with room for additional mini talks.

You don't have to be completely 'caught up' on the material but it would be helpful if you have worked through some of it and bring your questions and what you have learned to help others. We're at a new location that should be quieter and have more parking. There is no food there but you can bring your own as long as you clean up afterwards. We'll see how it turns out. Also, I want to keep this group format more of a study group, book club, office hours type group. There are other great groups in town that do presentations on related topics. Perhaps I'll see you there too. Looking forward to it.

The Oregon State government is at the forefront of policies that impact our daily lives.

Representative Tawna Sanchez (District 43): Rep Sanchez represents North and NE Portland.

update Calagator::Event 1250471918 PDXWIT #Action Fighting Hunger in the Park Volunteer Event Roll back

description We started PDXWIT #Action in January to give our community the opportunity to make a difference for issues we care about. For July we’ve organized a team volunteering event with Hands on Greater Portland’s Potluck in the Park to offer you the opportunity to help fight hunger in Portland. Potluck in the Park has been providing hot meals to hundreds of people in need every Sunday in Portland. They believe access to food is a human right, and volunteers with this organization have worked tirelessly to fulfill this fundamental right. For the past 25 years inspiring volunteers have dedicated their Sunday afternoons to provide healthy meals to anyone that attends the potluck. Are you interested in helping with the Potluck in the Park food service? Volunteers with #Action will be meeting at 1:50pm on July 16th at the O’Bryant Square corner of SW 9th and SW Washington. If you can commit to helping serve food please RSVP before Friday, July 7th. Volunteers will be contacted via email a few days prior to the event for confirmation of planned attendance. PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women. Trans and non-binary people are always welcome at our events. We started PDXWIT #Action in January to give our community the opportunity to make a difference for issues we care about.
