create Calagator::Event 1250467279 Galois tech talk: Read-copy update (RCU) validation and verification for Linux Roll back

description nil → abstract: Read-copy update (RCU) is a synchronization mechanism that is sometimes used as an alternative to reader-writer locking (among other things) that was added to the Linux kernel in 2002. A similar mechanism was added to Sequent’s DYNIX/ptx parallel UNIX kernel in 1993, and antecedents go back to at least 1980. Although a fully functional textbook implementation of RCU comprises only about 20 lines of code, the Linux-kernel implementation comprises more than 15,000 lines of code due to harsh requirements involving performance, scalability, energy efficiency, real-time response, memory footprint, module unloading, hotplugging of CPUs, and software-engineering considerations. Therefore, a key Linux-kernel RCU challenge is validation and verification. To this end, more than 2500 lines of the current Linux-kernel implementation do torture testing. However, there are now more than one billion devices running Linux, so that an RCU bug that manifested on average once every million years of machine time would manifest about three times every day across the installed base. Furthermore, the combination of Internet of Things and Josh Triplett’s Linux Kernel Tinification project is likely to significantly increase the number of running instances. I write and run rcutorture tests myself, and I like to think that my 20 years of parallel-code testing experience allows me to meet this validation challenge, but a simple analysis suggests a gap of several orders of magnitude. Additional validation and verification techniques are thus called for. This talk gives a brief overview of RCU and describes my adventures evaluating various verification techniques. bio: Paul E. McKenney has been coding for almost four decades, more than half of that on parallel hardware, where his work has earned him a reputation among some as a flaming heretic. Over the past decade, Paul has been an IBM Distinguished Engineer at the IBM Linux Technology Center. Paul maintains the RCU implementation within the Linux kernel, where the variety of workloads present highly entertaining performance, scalability, real-time response, and energy-efficiency challenges. Prior to that, he worked on the DYNIX/ptx kernel at Sequent, and prior to that on packet-radio and Internet protocols (but long before it was polite to mention Internet at cocktail parties), system administration, business applications, and real-time systems. He has a BS in Computer Science and another in Mechanical Engineering along with an MS in Computer Science, all from Oregon State University. He also has a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from OGI/OHSU. He has more than 100 publications and more than 50 patents. His hobbies include what passes for running at his age along with the usual house-wife-and-kids habit.

But it can backfire and actually exacerbate the problems a customer is hoping to solve, if there is no process to underscore and manage the flexibility. Team Foundation Server by Microsoft has this weakness in droves! Dustin will be presenting some concepts that they've put in place to manage the use of TFS that has elevated it from a painful free-for-all, to a highly effective tool that supports their specific business model perfectly. Yes, he will be discussing everybody's favorite topic …wait for it… PROCESS! - WHERE: Intel Hawthorne Farms 3 (HF3) 5200 NE Elam Young Pkwy Hillsboro, OR 97124 Map: http://binged.it/1s9UR5T - WHEN: Tuesday 11/04/2014 6:00 p.m. Pizza and Networking 6:30 p.m. Business and Intro Presentation 7:00 p.m. Main Presentation ~8:30 p.m. After Words at Thirsty Lion

create Calagator::Event 1250467273 SQAUG Presents: Finding Room for Quality in Start-Up Culture Roll back

description nil → There are many reasons why QA roles have a hard time getting funded in start-up organizations. Most start-ups begin with small teams that adopt (read: ignore) Lean or Agile methodologies and tend to favor TDD or rapid iteration to get the products built or shipped as quickly as possible. Because every dollar counts up front, getting 'something' out the door quickly often trumps making sure quality is built in. Market pressures, competition, and limited resources often force start-ups to make difficult (read: convenient) choices in order to keep the lights on. This session will cover how QA can become a relevant role in this challenging environment and will discuss strategies that QA professionals can use to find their way into fulfilling quality roles in start-ups. About Our Speaker: Frank D’Andrea is an experienced listener, thinker, and doer. He likes motivating self-organizing teams, eliminating wasteful practices, and delivering digital solutions that are designed to be flexible and that are developed in a sustainable way. He believes in engaging clients as partners, demonstrating the value of iterative delivery, and bringing award-winning products and services to the marketplace. He is an Agile instigator and relentless self-critic as well as a process improvement specialist. Specialties: Internet of Things (IoT), Social, Mobile, SaaS, Cloud, Big Data, Product Management, Digital Strategy, Market Strategy, Product Requirements, Customer Implementations, and Business Development. Agenda: 5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking 6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements 6:15-7:30PM: Presentation/Q&A Details: • Event is Free to the public • Onsite parking (directions below) • Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served • No RSVP is required to attend SQAUG is Portland/Vancouver area’s only Software Quality Assurance User Group!

description nil → Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, enjoy a pint, and laugh while you learn. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge! We’re told that digital is better than analog, but have you ever wondered why your cell phone sometimes drops calls? Mathematician Greg Landweber studies applications of error correcting codes, that is, ways of encoding digital information so that garbled signals can still be decoded. He will introduce several examples of error detection and correction, as well as discuss the limits of these codes. Not a math person? Never fear! Using logic, hands-on activities, and a geometrical decoding machine of his own design, Landweber will explain how and why digital communication works.

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm * Markus Roberts: "Thinking Outside the Framework" * Ben Orenstein (host of the Giant Robots podcast, other talks: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC-pQPq0acs">Refactoring from Good to Great</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9JXH7JPjR4">How to Talk to Developers</a>) # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area.

description PLUG: Portland's monthly, three-track open source conference! Celebrating 20 years of hosting Portland's best open source and technology freedom speakers. This month's topic To Be Announced First Thursday: General Meeting at PSU Third Tuesday: Advanced Topics at Free Geek Third Sunday: Hands-on Clinic at Free Geek → Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Jesse Bufton<br> What: ownCloud<br> Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br> When: Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at 7pm<br> Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br> Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/ Web-based file hosting, synchronization, and collaborative editing services have made sharing files easier than ever. While these features aren't new, the web 2.0 cloud context they are being offered through has brought them to the reach of the average user with low barriers to use. These freemium services often come at a hidden price of control, privacy, and usually security. This presentation will give an overview of what ownCloud is, why one might use it, what technologies it employs, the services & features it offers, how to set it up, and discuss the use case the presenter has deployed. Jesse Bufton is an independent web designer/developer and sometimes graphic designer. Jesse began his journey to *nix operating systems in 2000. In his most zen of moments, Jesse forages wild plants, hunts mushrooms, and ferments both food and beverage with friends--all accounted for on the blog Fermentemptations.com Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

And of course pizza, beer, and other refreshments. Right now we have one talk lined up that I'm pretty excited about. If anyone has a second topic, I'd love to get another one on the agenda. Shoot me an email at [email protected]. Our first topic is presented by Ryan Dearing: Building a Fault Tolerant API with Hystrix See how Bodybuilding.com utilizes Hystrix to scale a REST API beyond a hundred million requests every day. Learn how we use Hystrix to build a distributed system that is both fault and latency tolerant. We will discuss the bulkhead and circuit breaker patterns used by Hystrix to provide a resilient and fast API. Hope to see you there, and let me know if anyone else wants to do a talk! As always, doors will open at 6:30PM, so feel free to show up a little early to grab food and drink and do some socializing. Presentation will start at 7PM.
