Virtual Machine (VM) technology, the foundation for all virtual desktop solutions, allows a computer to simultaneously support and execute two or more computing environments, in which environment includes operating systems plus user applications and data. A VM is a virtual computing system that borrows computing resources (CPU, disk, memory, etc) from its host computer, co-existing alongside the host computer as a guest computer. Sharing computer resources can provide benefits to the end user, including:
Isolation The disparate environments operate without regard for the others. While some resources may be shared (for example, the keyboard, mouse, and screen), others are protected (for example, data files). In a VM environment, host resources need to be protected from concurrent access and control by both the host and the guest. In traditional VM systems, this isolation and control is provided by a special software program called a virtual machine monitor (VMM). The VMM may act as a peer of the host computing environment or may act autonomously from the host and guest computers.
Resource Balancing Each operating environment functions autonomously and therefore can have its resource consumption monitored and restricted, if desired.
Transportability/Mobility Certain VM configurations are considered mobile; that is, the entire environment can be moved from one host computer to a different one. Todays increasingly mobile world can benefit from such virtual machines, or VMs that can be transported from one host to another easily. Mobility is crucial when using VM technology to craft a virtual desktop solution. Although software products exist today that provide basic VM capabilities to current PCs, these products provide limited or no support for mobile VMs, due to their large software footprint. This is a key deficiency in these solutions.
There are many ways to implement a VMM and its supporting software. In this paper we will illustrate a variety of different VMM technologies, including:
Hypervisors VMMs that intercept and trap low-level CPU instructions, emulating any instructions that would violate isolation or cause system instability. Hypervisors can provide a complete virtualized desktop, with varying degrees of overhead / performance loss.
Paravirtualizers VMMs that intercept and trap low-level CPU instructions, failing any instructions that would violate isolation or cause system instability. Paravirtualizers can require that the guest desktop operating system be modified to avoid these privileged instructions. Paravirtualized systems can provide a complete virtualized desktop, with varying degrees of overhead / performance loss.
Workspace Virtualization Engines (WVE) VMMs that intercept and trap low-level OS API calls, emulating or redirecting those that would violate isolation or cause system instability. Some WVEs can provide the capability to virtualize privileged code modules and full operating system subsystems at a kernel level enabling the workspace to join an enterprise domain, have an isolated network stack and support applications such as endpoint security, databases, and PC management software that require drivers and security services. WVEs can provide a complete virtualized desktop, with little or no performance loss.
Application Containers Systems that intercept and trap the highest level OS API calls, emulating those that would violate isolation or cause system instability. Application containers cannot typically provide a complete virtualized desktop.
Emulators Systems that emulate entire hardware systems, including CPUs, I/O devices, etc. Emulators can provide a complete virtualized desktop, but at a tremendous performance loss.

The Homematic IP brand is completely renovating its smart home system. The new Home Control Unit complements the previous models and combines their options for online and offline operation. A cleaner app should offer lower-threshold access to the brand's devices and those of partners. In addition, among other new accessories, there is also a lighting product from Homematic IP for the first time – an LED strip for decorative purposes.
The new products presented at the Light + Building trade fair in Frankfurt am Main make a good first impression. It will take some time before they become part of everyday life. The market launches extend throughout 2024 and into next year. Prices have not yet been determined.
New control center works without internet, but via app
So far, in the Homematic IP system you have to decide whether you prefer cloud-based app operation with the control center called Access Point or whether you want to work offline and via browser with the professional gateway CCU3. The new control center offers both approaches to choose from.
If you want, you can use it to manage the equipment fleet locally. All settings, measurement data and automation are stored internally by the Homematic IP control center and the connected devices. There is no registration requirement. For optional online operation, the manufacturer records the IP address, albeit encrypted.
If desired, convenience features that rely on the Internet, such as remote access and voice control, can be activated. The control center, like the access point, can be operated with the manufacturer's smartphone app and not just with third-party applications. Nevertheless, as with the browser-based CCU3, there is the option of installing plug-ins developed with private enthusiasm and thereby adding components and functions that are not officially supported.
Users are free to decide whether they want to add the Home Control Unit to the home network via LAN cable or WiFi. Previously, you had to use one of two access point variants for WLAN operation. The new control center also has an EEBus interface for smart energy management. Heat pumps, controlled living room ventilation and electricity meters can be integrated into the smart home.
In addition to the 150 Homematic IP devices, the Home Control Unit also supports lights from Philips Hue and security cameras from EZVIZ. As soon as the control center is available, the control of DoorBird door stations will be added. The manufacturer is targeting the fourth quarter of 2024 for the market launch.
Regardless of this, the access point models remain on the market as a cheaper option and the CCU3 as an even more flexible participatory hardware. Anyone who wants to switch to the Home Control Unit should be able to migrate the previous setup. The manufacturer is still working on which devices and settings this specifically includes, heise online said at the trade fair stand.
App for more screens and with front door monitoring
Homematic IP is currently redesigning the mobile app for Android and Apple devices. In a new version, it will also offer a customized display for smartwatches and tablets for the first time from the third quarter of 2024. It is also optically tuned and has a list and carousel view as well as a tile display. This variant proved to be a useful addition, especially on the tablet, during the visual test at the trade fair stand. It makes better use of the space on the large screen and at the same time ensures a good overview of the linked components.
Under the hood, Homematic IP integrates a control function for door intercom systems. The integration of DoorBird's door stations is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024. They can then also be managed with the access point variants, not just with the new home control unit. Only the CCU3 is left out. Contact in the local home network is not enough for the interaction. Instead, data is exchanged via the cloud interfaces of Homematic IP and Doorbird.
Amazon Alexa and Google Home will continue to be the only possible alternatives to the Homematic IP app – and will continue to do so via the cloud. There are still no concrete plans to integrate the Matter standard. Contacting HomeKit is also not an issue – neither via Matter nor via Apple's own interface. However, it cannot be ruled out that the announced plug-in functionality of the Home Control Unit will enable independent developers to pass the products from Homematic IP to HomeKit.
Light for indoors, motion detector for outdoors
Homematic IP also showed at Light + Building which new components from its own company can be controlled with the app in the future. The manufacturer is planning additions in the areas of light and shading, indoor climate, security and alarm as well as access.
A weatherproof motion detector for 230-volt cabling complements the previously small outdoor range from Homematic IP. The sensitivity of three sensors built into the tilting head of the motion detector can be regulated separately. The range is up to 20 meters. The device will go on sale in the summer.
The brand is launching its own lighting product for the first time, expected in the third quarter of 2024. The Homematic IP Lightstrip is a two-meter-long LED strip that can be expanded to up to ten meters with one-meter extensions. It glows in color and in the white spectrum. For the latter, it offers an automatic system that changes the color of the light from cool to warm over the course of the day.
With the “Flex” model, another radiator thermostat from the brand will be released in the third quarter of this year. Because of a permanently activated e-paper display, the current target temperature is always visible even without pressing a button, without draining the batteries too quickly.
With a universally configurable flush-mounted controller, motorized locks and door openers from third-party providers will be able to be integrated into the Homematic IP system from the fourth quarter. Homematic IP also offers a tubular motor that is designed for installation by specialist tradespeople. Its market launch is not planned before 2025.


A recent Xconomy article discussed Qualcomm’s Uplinq conference; its move from San Diego to the Bay Area; and the changes in Qualcomm’s mobile OS strategy. Ryan provided some thoughts into these issues and some insight into Qualcomm’s future markets.
Our group was awarded a one year grant to aimed to develop robust 3D imaging techniques to study underwater archaeological sites. The grant, “Mapping and Visualizing Complex, Large-Scale Underwater Archaeological Sites and Artifacts” will extend the work done by Perry Naughton, Antonella Wilby and other Engineers for Exploration group members to create a multi-camera underwater system. The key contribution is to develop accurate localization in order to supplement the camera location information during the construction of the 3D models. Teledyne has generously loaned us an Explorer Doppler Velocity Log which we have coupled with an IMU, optical location techniques (e.g., optical flow), and acoustic ranging via buoys in order to get an accurate location lock for each picture taken.

Vinnie Wei Hu recently returned back to our research group from Xi’an, China. Vinnie is no stranger to UCSD. He spent two years here as a visiting graduate student starting in 2009. During his visit, he worked with Ryan, Dr. Jason Oberg, and Dr. Ali Irturk on hardware security, specifically developing the theory behind gate level information flow tracking (GLIFT). After going back to Xi’an to finish his Ph.D, he is now starting his second stint in the Kastner Research Group to extend his research in hardware security. He plans to work on developing GLIFT for secure hardware design & verification and for enforcing embedded system security in order to secure the internet-of-things as well as cyber physical systems. Furthermore, he is looking into some research related to timing and power attacks on hardware involved in secure applications.
Ryan and Jason were hosted by Vinnie in China a couple of years ago and visited Museum of Terra-cotta Horses and Soldiers and rode around the 14 kilometer city wall built over 600 years ago (the picture is taken on that city wall). Welcome back Vinnie Wei Hu to the land of eternal sunshine!
Our work on formalizing gate level information flow tracking (GLIFT) to handle multiple labels was accepted to the ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES). The article titled “Gate Level Information Flow Tracking for Security Lattices” extends the ability to track only two labels (e.g., trusted/untrusted) to larger number of comparable labels. For example, we could mark hardware cores as “verified built in-house”, “tested built in-house”, “verified external source”, “tested external source”, and “untested external”. In each case, there is a varying level of trust. With the ability to track these multiple labels, we can then understand how the various hardware cores affect each other. The lead author was our new post-doc Vinnie Wei Hu with co-authors Dejun Mu, Jason Oberg, Baolei Mao, Mohit Tiwari, Timothy Sherwood, and Ryan Kastner.
CSE 145 and CSE 237D combine the talents of undergraduate and graduate students to develop quarter long projects on a variety of topics in embedded systems. This year saw the development of a number of great projects. Many were proposed by Ryan and members of our research group. A number of them came directly from the students. All of the students put in countless hours to develop these projects, which were highlighted in news releases from the Jacobs School of Engineering and a two part series at Calit2 (Part 1, Part 2). The classes will be offered again in Spring 2015. Start thinking of some good ideas for next year!
The hardware security techniques developed in our research group, and being commercialized by Tortuga Logic, recently received a significant amount of news coverage. This all started with a story from the Jacobs School of Engineering that got picked up by a number of different venues including ACM TechNews, Calit2, R&D Magazine, Science Codex, Counsel and Heal, Phys.org, Science Daily, RF Globalnet, Product Design and Development, Red Orbit, and probably several others that I have missed. The International Business Times also interviewed Ryan and put out a rather lengthy story.
Our group continues its success at FPL following up last years three papers and best paper award with three papers in this upcoming FPL to be held in Munich, Germany in September. Pingfan was the lead author on the paper “Hardware Accelerated Novel Optical De Novo Assembly for Large-Scale Genomes” which develops a hardware accelerated solution for genome matching. This paper was done in collaboration with our friends at BioNano Genomics. The second accepted paper was “Improving FPGA Accelerated Tracking with Multiple Online Trained Classifiers” with Matt as the lead author. This paper utilizes the performance of FPGAs to create a robust tracker by training the features in an online manner. Dajung was the lead author on the final paper, “High Throughput Channel Tracking for JTRS Wireless Channel Emulation”, which developed a channel tracker which is an integral part of the wireless channel emulator project with Toyon Research Group. Congrats and beifall to all the authors!
Matt and Jason successfully defended their theses bringing the total to three people who have graduated with PhDs from the Kastner Group this year. Matt’s research focused on developing a Smart Frame Grabber framework to ease the development of building computer vision applications using heterogeneous systems. Jason’s research on hardware security developed the first method for determining the existence of timing channels in hardware.
Both will be missed, but will not be going too far. Matt will work at Google in Irvine though will still reside in the San Diego area. Jason will be full-time CEO at Tortuga Logic. Congrats to both!
The article “Leveraging Gate Level Properties to Identify Hardware Timing Channels” was accepted to the IEEE Transactions on Computer-aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD). Jason was the lead author along with co-authors Sarah Meiklejohn (UCSD), Timothy Sherwood (UCSB), and Ryan. This paper formalizes how Gate Level Information Flow Tracking can be used to detect timing channels: a form of information leak where secret information can affect run time.
Congratulations to Dr. Barngrover on successfully defending his thesis titled “Automated Detection of Mine-Like Objects in Side Scan Sonar Imagery”. His PhD research focused detecting underwater mines using side scan sonar on autonomous underwater vehicles. He developed a number of computer vision techniques that can accurate detect these mines. Additionally, he developed the first method of using a brain-computer interface system to quickly identify the mines. During his time in the Kastner Group, he also became a skilled fisherman as evidenced by the nice rainbow trout that he caught during one of our group retreats in Mammoth. Dr. Barngrover will continue to work at SPAWAR after graduation.

Smart TVs no doubt have one of the biggest product ranges, spanning numerous brands and endless model types and sizes. While having choice is typically a positive thing, it can also lead to confusion and feel overwhelming. And what could possibility be even more challenging to grasp is the growing number of TV screen technologies in the market. Here, we’ll provide a run-down of the most popular TV screen technologies available, what they are and how they will benefit your home entertainment.
Resolution vs TV Screen Technology
HD, Full HD, 4K or OLED? On the TV purchasing journey, there may be some confusion as to what the TV’s resolution and the TV’s screen type is. The resolution refers to the number of pixels the TV has and the type of images that the TV can display. Meanwhile the screen type often refers to the build (or materials) that makes up the TV’s panel.
The most common TV resolutions on the market include:
- High Definition (HD) – 1280 x 720
- Full High Definition (Full HD) – 1920 x 1080
- 4K Ultra HD (4K) – 3840 x 2160
- 8K Ultra HD (8K) – 7680 x 4320
Here’s how you can tell the difference between the resolution, so that you can figure which will work best for your entertainment needs:
- High Definition (HD)
Entry-level High Definition (HD) features picture resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. HD was widely adopted in the mid to late 2000s, so older content from years past will typically be available in HD. Most free-to-air TV content is available in HD and above, and HD TVs are now the most affordable TVs on the market and are usually the smallest in size too.
- Full High Definition (Full HD)
With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, Full HD is typically what free-to-air TV channels broadcast with. Many streaming services will also have content available to view in Full HD. Full HD TVs are budget-friendly options if casual TV viewing is your most-watched content.
- 4K Ultra HD (4K)
Featuring a bright and impactful 3840 x 2160 pixel image reproduction, 4K TVs are the standard TV resolution in the market. 4K is much clearer and detailed when compared to Full HD. Many TV shows and movies on streaming services, live sports and games are available in 4K.
- 8K Ultra HD (8K)
The most advanced and highest image resolution available in the consumer market, 8K Ultra HD boasts double the pixels of 4K with 7680 x 4320. When the maths is done correctly, the resolution is actually four times that of 4K. Whilst 4K is known for its clarity and brightness, 8K images are exceptionally real-to-life, making you feel like you’re right there
The most common TV screen technologies on the market include:
- Mini LED
An In-Depth Look
Let’s take a closer look at each TV screen technology, what it means, how it impacts on your TV and entertainment quality and the benefits for you; the viewer.
- LED: a TV with an LED panel features ‘light emitting diodes’ (LED) which form the backlight of the TV’s display. They are smaller and more efficient when compared to older TV screen technologies such as cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). TVs with LED tend to be cheaper to run as it uses less energy. LED TVs are available from many brands including CHiQ and Hisense.
- LCD: a TV with an LCD screen is characterised by a layer of ‘liquid crystal display’. An LCD TV almost always has an LED backlit display. For example, many TV brands have models that feature LED LCD screen technologies. The combination of the LED on the LCD screen means better black production and brighter colours for vivid images. Almost all TV brands manufacture LCD TVs including LG and TCL.
- OLED: this TV technology is powered by ‘organic light emitting diodes’ that don’t require back lighting to illuminate. This in turn makes it possible for OLED TVs to be thinner than LCD TVs. OLED is a more recent technology that provides richer colours to deliver life-like image quality. OLED TVs are commonly available from LG.
- QLED: QLED TVs feature ‘quantum dot light emitting diodes’ which are basically nano-sized particles which turn light into a billion colours. Quantum dots display a wider range of brightness levels for more vivid colours, especially when compared to LED LCD TVs. QLED technology can be found in TVs from Hisense, Samsung, and TCL.
- Mini LED: TVs with Mini LED uses miniature versions of the regular LED (light-emitting diodes) to provide improved contrast and deeper shades of black. Since they’re much smaller than regular LEDs, there are more Mini LEDs in the TV, displaying screen quality that is similar to OLED. Mini LED is available from brand including TCL, LG and Hisense.
- NanoCell: specific to LG TVs, NanoCell technology uses nano particles that absorb unwanted light. The nanoparticles then enhance the purity of the red and green colours on the screen, providing a brighter and enhanced image.
Unlike traditional TVs, a smart TV can be connected to the internet to deliver a range of other entertainment options and not just free-to-air TV. A smart TV lets you surf the internet, stream content from apps such as YouTube and Netflix and those with voice control lets you control your entertainment and your home, just with your voice.
These TVs are powered by the Android processor, meaning it will look and feel like your Android smart device. Those familiar with Android devices will experience the same user-friendly interface on the bigger screen and have simple access to the Google Play Store to download favourite apps and content. Since Android devices usually update themselves, the TV’s operating system will automatically update to enable an enhanced entertainment experience.
TVs of today are designed for more than just watching. Lifestyle TVs have been crafted to blend into your space and provide a range of other uses such as displaying artwork, your favourite family photos or just capture an image of the wallpaper and let the TV blend in seamlessly with your wall. Examples of lifestyle TVs include Samsung’s The Frame TV, which boasts an art gallery-like design to showcase artwork. Another lifestyle TV is LG’s Rollable OLED TV, which is an ultra-thin OLED self-lit panel that can be rolled away when not in use, helping you make use of your space, creatively.
Move your entertainment outdoors with a range of outdoor TVs, like Samsung’s Smart Outdoor TV. Powered by QLED technology, this TV’s anti-glare screen and bright colours makes it easy to watch any content within sheltered outdoor spaces, like on the balcony or patio. Finished with weather resistant properties, this Samsung TV lets you enjoy the action outside the next time you host a BBQ lunch or pool party.
Stuck on your TV purchasing journey or want to find out some more information? Check out our frequently asked questions below:
- What’s better; LED LCD or OLED?
A TV with an LED LCD display features a backlit panel with ‘light emitting diodes’ and a liquid crystal display that displays deeper shades of black and vibrant colours. OLED TVs on the other hand, have ‘organic light emitting diodes’ that don’t require a backlit panel to display colour, meaning their TV design can be slimmer - this might be useful for you to take into account when buying a new TV.
- Should I buy 4K TV or Full HD?
This ultimately depends on how important the picture quality is to you and what purpose the TV will serve. If the TV is used for occasional general TV viewing, for example; watching free-to-air TV, the news or the odd movie, then a Full HD TV is sufficient. If regular movie viewing, online streaming and gaming is vital to you, a 4K TV will deliver greater image results.
- What's the big deal about 4K?
The new standard across smart TVs, 4K Ultra HD boasts four times the resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080) TVs, with a pixel make up of: 3840 x 2160. Whilst the pixel numbers of 4K are only in fact double that of Full HD, when they are multiplied, a 4K TV does indeed display four times the pixel resolution. The reason 4K is so popular is because image and colour reproduction are clearer, sharper and more enjoyable to watch, especially when great visuals are needed, such as when watching movies, documentaries or live sports.
- Do you need a Wi-Fi connection for a smart TV?
Yes, a Wi-Fi connection is required to operate the features of a smart TV. For free-to-air content, only an antenna connection is needed.
- What are the advantages of a large screen?
Bigger is best when it comes to immersive entertainment enjoyment. Whether you’re watching your favourite content, screen-sharing, doing video calls or just want to put on the live footy at the next work gathering, a larger screen ensures that everything can be seen by everyone. Some TV brands even feature ultra-wide viewing angles and anti-glare displays to enhance viewing.
- How do I choose the right TV for me?
When purchasing a TV, one of the first things you should consider is your space and the appropriate size of the TV to best fit your room. Having a budget will also help to narrow down the types of TVs you can buy. And finally, when buying a new TV, you need to consider what features are important to you, whether that is picture quality, audio quality, easy connectivity and if the TV has all the smart TV features you need.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working in the group of Prof Danna Freedman at Northwestern University. I completed my PhD studies in September 2014 after having worked in the Molecular Magnetism Group at the University of Manchester, UK, with Dr Floriana Tuna and professors David Collison, Eric McInnes, and Richard Winpenny.
My current research involves the pursuit of novel binary intermetallics using a range of disparate chemical approaches that include: (i) nanoparticle synthesis, (ii) very high pressure and high temperature reactions, and (iii) the electrochemical deposition of thin films. The compounds being targeted could exhibit exciting magnetic and/or superconductive properties.


Wait, you mean the Chevy Volt isn't a good idea? Well,
“Because of its shortcomings — driving range, cost and recharging time — the electric vehicle is not a viable replacement for most conventional cars,” said Toyota’s vice chairman, Takeshi Uchiyamada, in a Reuters report. “We need something entirely new.”
Toyota Motor Co. — the world’s largest hybrid manufacturer, Reuters reports — recently announced a plan to drop pure electric-car development, also.
The announcement follows a White House decision last week to reduce its goal of 1 million electric cars on U.S. roads by 2015, Reuters said.
This is the problem when governments start setting technological decrees. It's one thing to put a man on the moon in 10 years -- it's quite another to assume you can somehow circumvent the limitations of chemistry that are involved in battery storage.
So what are the Japanese carmakers working on now? Fuel cell technology that would use hydrogen. Who was touting that technology years ago? Gee, I wonder.

Endpoint security refers to the mechanism of protecting the endpoints such as computers, laptops, mobile or any other devices connected to the corporate network from vulnerable malicious threats.
Endpoint security or endpoint protection is an approach to the protection of computer networks that are remotely bridged to client devices. The connection of laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other wireless devices to corporate networks creates attack paths for security threats. Endpoint security attempts to ensure that such devices follow a definite level of compliance to standards.
The endpoint security space has evolved over the last several years away from limited antivirus software and into a more advanced, comprehensive defense. This includes next-generation antivirus, threat detection, investigation, and response, device management, data leak protection (DLP) and other considerations to face evolving threats.

Source code analysis is also a software testing technique that can be used to scrutinize all code paths and data flows that a program will execute; It can be either static or dynamic.
Ideally, such tools would automatically find security flaws with a high degree of confidence that what is found is indeed a flaw. However, this is beyond the state of the art for many types of application security flaws. Thus, such tools frequently serve as aids for an analyst to help them zero in on security relevant portions of code so they can find flaws more efficiently, rather than a tool that simply finds flaws automatically.
Some tools are starting to move into the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). For the types of problems that can be detected during the software development phase itself, this is a powerful phase within the development lifecycle to employ such tools, as it provides immediate feedback to the developer on issues they might be introducing into the code during code development itself. This immediate feedback is very useful as compared to finding vulnerabilities much later in the development cycle.
Data flow analysis is used to collect run-time (dynamic) information about data in software while it is in a static state (Wögerer, 2005).
There are three common terms used in data flow analysis, basic block (the code), Control Flow Analysis (the flow of data) and Control Flow Path (the path the data takes):
Basic block: A sequence of consecutive instructions where control enters at the beginning of a block, control leaves at the end of a block and the block cannot halt or branch out except at its end (Wögerer, 2005).
An abstract graph representation of software by use of nodes that represent basic blocks. A node in a graph represents a block; directed edges are used to represent jumps (paths) from one block to another. If a node only has an exit edge, this is known as an ‘entry’ block, if a node only has a entry edge, this is know as an ‘exit’ block (Wögerer, 2005).
Taint Analysis attempts to identify variables that have been ‘tainted’ with user controllable input and traces them to possible vulnerable functions also known as a ‘sink’. If the tainted variable gets passed to a sink without first being sanitized it is flagged as a vulnerability.
Some programming languages such as Perl and Ruby have Taint Checking built into them and enabled in certain situations such as accepting data via CGI.
Lexical Analysis converts source code syntax into ‘tokens’ of information in an attempt to abstract the source code and make it easier to manipulate

Managing risk within the financial services, especially within the banking sector, has increased in complexity over the past several years. First, new frameworks (such as FRTB) are being introduced that potentially require tremendous computing power and an ability to analyze years of historical data. At the same, regulators are demanding more transparency and explainability from the banks they oversee. Finally, the introduction of new technologies and business models means the need for sound risk governance is at an all time high. However, the ability for the banking industry to effectively meet these demands has not been an easy undertaking. Traditional banks relying on on-premises infrastructure can no longer effectively manage risk. Banks must abandon the computational inefficiencies of legacy technologies and build an agile Modern Risk Management practice capable of rapidly responding to market and economic volatility through the use of data and advanced analytics. Recent experience shows that as new threats emerge, historical data and aggregated risk models lose their predictive values quickly. Risk analysts must augment traditional data with alternative datasets in order to explore new ways of identifying and quantifying the risks facing their business, both at scale and in real-time.
Pandas user-defined functions (UDFs) are one of the most significant enhancements in Apache SparkTM for data science. They bring many benefits, such as enabling users to use Pandas APIs and improving performance.
A common data science internet of things (IoT) use case involves training machine learning models on real-time data coming from an army of IoT sensors. Some use cases demand that each connected device has its own individual model since many basic machine learning algorithms often outperform a single complex model. We see this in supply chain optimization, predictive maintenance, electric vehicle charging, smart home management, or any number of other use cases. The problem is this:

As traditional pay TV continues to stagnate, content owners have embraced direct-to-consumer (D2C) subscription and ad-supported streaming for monetizing their libraries of content. For companies whose entire business model revolved around producing great content which they then licensed to distributors, the shift to now owning the entire glass-to-glass experience has required new capabilities such as building media supply chains for content delivery to consumers, supporting apps for a myriad of devices and operating systems, and performing customer relationship functions like billing and customer service.
There are two time-honored optimization techniques for making queries run faster in data systems: process data at a faster rate or simply process less data by skipping non-relevant data. This blog post introduces Dynamic File Pruning (DFP), a new data-skipping technique, which can significantly improve queries with selective joins on non-partition columns on tables in Delta Lake, now enabled by default in Databricks Runtime.”
With the massive disruption of the current COVID-19 pandemic, many data engineers and data scientists are asking themselves “How can the data community help?” The data community is already doing some amazing work in a short amount of time including (but certainly not limited to) one of the most commonly used COVID-19 data sources: the 2019 Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) Data Repository by Johns Hopkins CSSE. The following animated GIF is a visual representation of the proportional number of confirmed cases (counties) and deaths (circles) spanning from March 22nd to April 14th.


Synthesis and characterization of nano-fibres graphene oxide for sensing humidity
Keywords:Graphene oxide, electrospinnig, Inter-digited electrodes, Electric characterizatio
Relative humidity is the prime parameter in industrial processes which are measured through ceramic, metal oxide and polymeric sensors. Ceramic and metal oxide sensors shows nonlinear resistive behaviours with increasing relative humidity and high sintering temperature for hydro-desorption. Transformation of ceramic and metallic sensors with the polymeric sensors is due to its eco-friendly synthesis fabrication, less heat intensive and high sensitivity. In this research work, a polymeric sensor of enhanced electric properties with sustainable captive and resistive response was synthesised from nano-fibres graphene oxide for sensing humidity. The synthesized graphene oxide through modified Hammer method was mixed with poly-vinyl alcohol (GO/PVA) in the ratio of 5 wt % for four hours at 90 ºC. Nano fibres of graphene oxide and poly-vinyl alcohol (GO/PVA) solutions were obtained at the 24V DC electric field; 0.5 ml/h feed rate and 10 cm tip-to-collector distance through electrospinnig. GO/PVA fibres were deposited on the silver inter-digited electrodes of 8mm and five combs of 20Îm consecutive distance. SEM analysis shows that the fibres were in nano-range with no major cracks while XRD and FTIR spectrum investigated the finger prints and functional groups of GO and GO/PVA respectively. Parametric study of resistive and capacitive were analysed at difference response and recovery time at various frequency in the range of 0 % to 82% relative humidity.

I might be naïve or uninformed, but I don’t know of any other smartphone vendor to sell a dock charger for its batteries, so that when you own a second battery, you can charge it by using the micro-USB cable that came with your phone, thus being able to swap batteries at need without any fuss!
I just ran over the set “spare BM40 battery + dock charger” for Xiaomi Mi-2A aka M2A at iBuygou ($29 with battery). On Xiaomi’s site, the battery is here (99 RMB, about $16), and the dock charger is here (49 RMB, about $8). Brilliant idea.
I always wondered why are people buying several batteries if the only place they can charge them is inside their smartphone! How do they keep both batteries charged without such a device?!
LATE EDIT: Oops, there is also a dock charger for UMI’s X1S, and a dock & wall charger for UMI X2′s spare battery, which can also charge the phone at the same time!


John Deere’s new generation StarFire 6000 satellite receiver has been designed to set new standards in operational accuracy and signal uptime. As the successor to the StarFire 3000 receiver, the StarFire 6000 features an improved antenna and the latest in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal processing technology. A new optional locking device for better theft protection is also available.
Russian GLONASS satellite compatibility and the proven integrated terrain compensation module (TCM) remain as standard. In addition, the new receiver is available with an improved, free SF1 correction signal (+/-15cm, reduced from 23cm), an all-new SF3 signal with +/-3cm pass to pass accuracy and a number of major RTK (+/-2.5cm) innovations.
The StarFire 6000 features a new ‘triple StarFire accuracy’ mode, which now tracks three satellites in parallel instead of one. This provides three times more signal stability in shady conditions and the potential to switch to a back-up satellite 80 per cent more quickly than the previous model.
Acquisition of the new SF3 correction signal is also three to four times quicker, so users spend less time waiting for the receiver to achieve full accuracy and can get high-precision jobs started even faster.
With in-season repeatability up to nine months, the SF3 signal can be relied on to prevent guidance line drift when operating in long fields, skipping passes or when using AutoTrac for multiple jobs throughout the growing season. Examples include the creation of AutoTrac guidance lines during drilling and planting, and the use of the same lines to complete subsequent jobs such as fertilising, post-emergence spraying and harvesting.
RTK customers can now benefit from a longer RTK Extend mode of up to 14 days. If the line of sight to the base station or the mobile network connection is lost, users can maintain full accuracy and repeatability for up to two weeks, even outside the RTK network.
A new John Deere 4G LTE mobile RTK modem with two high performance antennae not only supports the latest 4G LTE (long-term evolution) mobile communication standard, but also continues to support 3G and 2G standards to provide the best possible network coverage and signal stability. Customers also have a free choice of SIM card and correction signal provider. Being entirely self-contained, the complete StarFire receiver system can easily be moved from machine to machine in less than a minute.
The new, John Deere mobile RTK signal is compatible not only with the John Deere 4G LTE mobile RTK modem but also with the JDLink modular telematics gateway (MTG) controller. With this uniquely integrated solution, customers don’t need to invest in a separate modem and SIM card with a data plan. The whole system is provided from one source, making it easy to buy, set up and service.
All of this new technology adds up to improved performance and uptime as well as lower operating costs, when paired with FarmSight precision farming systems such as AutoTrac automatic steering and John Deere Section Control.

It can take the EV from 0-40 kmph in 2.77 seconds. The battery can be charged from 0-80% in 5 hours and 54 minutes with a 750 watts home charger. Considering these specs, the scooter will compete against models like Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X, Vida V1, and TVS iQube.


Camera Phones can be extremely valuable for various different factors. For instance, when you leave your home as well as go out in public somewhere, have you taken your electronic camera with you? Most likely not, but it is most likely that you take your cell phone with you. For that reason, if you observe something that you desire to get a photo of, with your mobile phone camera, you can quickly as well as easily obtain a picture.
Some individuals are rather much more strong with these sorts of video cameras. For instance, these sorts of video cameras typically function as video cameras too. If individuals remain in Los Angeles or New york city as well as noticed a star attempting to be incognito, they can take a movie or a photo of them without anyone being aware.
Teens specifically like video cameras such as these for their own strong factors. For instance, with video cameras such as these, a woman or boy can simply snap a photo of the person they enjoy without needing to be concerned about anyone figuring out that they did it.
If the numerous performance of a mobile phone camera appears like a smart idea for you, then make certain to research study all the numerous phones that have this capability via your service provider. With video cameras such as these, it is likely you’ll catch some exceptional images that you would never ever have actually had the ability to take otherwise.
At celebrations, sporting occasions, weddings as well as special celebrations it allows you to catch pictures that will constantly be kept in mind without the hassle of needing to keep in mind to take your camera with to these celebrations.
Common functions of the brand-new cell phone video cameras are higher quality photographs, even more storage space memory, water proofing, better zoom feature, red eye decrease as well as flash capacities. It has actually been claimed that it is one of the handiest devices of modern technology.
The most effective means to get the phone with the best camera is to see professional photographer jonnycamera’s site. He has an excellent write-up about best selfie camera phone that will help you determine which phone has the best camera today.
Never ever before has actually modern technology been so easily accessible as well as available to the entire wide world. As time goes by they will develop brand-new functions that will amaze us also additionally. Bear in mind that those best minutes are constantly simply a click away.
Why We Additionally Like Mirrorless Cameras
Mirrorless Cameras are Digital Cameras which provide the image high quality as well as versatility of specialist Digital Single-Lens Reflex video cameras (DSLRs), together with a movement closer to that of a much more common “point as well as shoot” electronic camera. They are also typically called Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Digital Cameras simply since that, distinctive from the common Digital Cameras for customer market, they provide a mechanism to alter lenses easily, as it’s made with specialist ones.
A cutting-edge layout which maintains the Picture Sensor Solution of DSLRs makes this all possible. Which means that high quality is by no means impacted. The mirror common to Reflex mirrors isn’t included therefore, the Mirrorless camera is compact as well as incredibly mobile unlike standard DSLR video cameras. The drawback is that although the mirrorless camera is a great deal smaller sized in dimension the lens require a large amount of area in order to preserve the exceptional photo high quality from a camera of this dimension.
Partial solution for the formerly pointed out problem originates from the brand-new Micro 4 Thirds system, derived from the first 4 Third System adopted by specialist DSLR video cameras; the mini 4:3 has actually been designed by Olympus as well as Panasonic, as well as it’s among the requirements generated specifically for Mirrorless Cameras. This brand-new common allows to minimize the measurements of the lenses made use of by the camera, without affecting way too much on the image high quality. In addition, considering that it shares a lot of the requirements of the initial 4:3 Standard, the “old” SLR 4 Third lenses functions incredibly well on these brand-new the best mirrorless camera by using an adapter. This feature on it’s own is a significant advantage for any type of specialist digital photographer that currently has a great supply of lenses, as they might be recycled easily. Other suppliers, like Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, FujiFilm, and so on, make use of comparable approaches, however based on a various layout.
The viewfinder is yet another quality of this brand-new kind of camera that deserves speaking about. While common DSLRs utilize an optical viewfinder which calls for a prism as well as a mirror this entire component has actually been taken out in the mirrorless camera. In its location is a Digital Viewfinder (the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 as well as its successor, the DMC-G2, include it). It’s a reproduction of the performance of the initial Viewfinder because the professional photographer can see the picture via the eyes of the sensor as opposed to the lenses similar to in the LCD display positioned on all point as well as shoot video cameras. The benefit to the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) in contrast with the LCD display is the fact that a number of extra functions like a pie chart as well as automated direct exposure adjustment (indispensable when taking images at night) are included. These extra incentives will yield some lag in the upgrading of the picture as a result of the extra processes as well as will also increase battery consumption. There have actually been some enhancement of these disadvantages in much more recent model mirrorless video cameras as well as they will improve with future upgrades.

LOS ANGELES, October 4, 2007 — Using computer models and novel probabilistic graphs, HRL Laboratories, LLC is working to predict failures and the remaining lifetimes of digital electronic systems.
Digital electronics dominate commercial and military markets, and manufacturers and users alike need to know more about component reliability over time and under a wide range of operating conditions. How long will vital components last, and what causes them to fail?
According to Dr. Przytula, the overall program manager at the Malibu, California facility, HRL has been developing algorithms and tools for diagnosis and prognosis of electronic systems for over five years, and has numerous publications and patents in this area. HRL just received a contract from Ridgetop Group, Inc., an internationally recognized firm specializing in electronic prognostics and fault-tolerant electronics, to continue and expand the research.
Applications include complex medical equipment, such as MRIs, and aerospace systems, such as aircraft and satellites. Still others are automobiles and energy generation and distribution systems, such as power plants and power grid control, and communication systems, such as telephone switching.
"We have just recently applied our framework with the General Motors Locomotive Group to predict durability of diesel locomotive parts,” he said. "The system covered over 500 components and over 1000 observations. We believe the results will make diesel locomotives that much safer because we can predict the health of critical components."
Will the HRL framework eventually work its way into the hands of consumers to test their own equipment? "Presently most consumer electronics is designed for low cost and is not intended to be maintained by the user over an extended period of time," Dr. Przytula says, "but that may change in the future as the cost of materials and components for the equipment goes up."
HRL develops its model by gathering information from many sources, including laboratory testing, simulations, and in some cases data from the manufacturer of the component. Next, the model is used in the field—tested in real operation. The model actually "learns” from the resulting data.
HRL Laboratories, LLC, Malibu, California, is a corporate R&D laboratory owned by Boeing and General Motors. HRL provides custom R&D and performs additional R&D contract services for its LLC Members, for the U.S. government, and for other commercial entities.

Invitation to submit to the Journal of Grid and Utility Computing (IJGUC). Authors of accepted papers of the 2016 edition of CDCGM will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to the Journal of Grid and Utility Computing (IJGUC ).
CDCGM 2016 - Call for PapersThe wide adoption of Cloud Computing architectures for utility computing, big-data solutions, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and highly scalable and resilient commodity hardware, have allowed the developers and consumers to access a wide range of services and computational resources through a pay-per-use model.
Moreover, the ever increasing need to consume and the associated need for assuring services in larger and larger scale are forcing the providers to optimize resources efficiently in order to meet the web-scale demand of current computing landscape.
The computing, management and programming models have to evolve to address the complexity and the resulting tool fatigue in current distributed data centers. Novel unified computing theories and implementations are required to address the resiliency and efficiency of global web-scale services creation, delivery and assurance.
One of the main problems is that the current generation virtualization technologies cannot scale in a distributed environment where multiple owners provide infrastructure that is heterogeneous and is evolving rapidly. As a consequence, new architectures focusing on intelligent services deployed using dumb infrastructure on fat and stupid pipes must evolve.
Traditional grid computing elements, frameworks, middlewares, and computing models used by scientists and business analysists need to be integrated into a unified computing framework.
The goal of CDCGM 2016 is to attract young researchers, Ph.D. students, practitioners, and business leaders to bring contributions in the area of distributed Clouds, Grid and their management, especially in the developments of computing, management and programming models, technologies, framework and middleware.
You are invited to submit research papers to the following areas:
- Discovering new application scenarios, proposing new operating systems, programming abstractions and tools with particular reference to distributed Grids and Clouds and their integration.

Research over the past three decades has revealed that cellular behavior is governed by dynamic, complex networks of interactions among proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids and metabolites . As such, each discrete interaction represents the minimal input unit for computational models of biological system responses. This principle in turn requires that biological interactions be rigorously documented in a readily computable format to enable mathematical models of network function that are able to predict non-obvious behavior. Despite the foundational shifts in our conception of biology, however, we still use the same primary method to disseminate scientific information that was used by Darwin over 150 years ago, namely the free-text, descriptive narrative style of conventional publications. The vast and ever-increasing biomedical literature thus poses a formidable challenge for the annotation of biological data and computational analysis .
Our 2006 publication describing the comprehensive curation of protein and genetic interactions for the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae began to address this data challenge by completing the first systematic effort to convert the interaction data embedded in the biomedical literature into a computable format . This curated dataset allowed biomedical researchers to rapidly query, visualize, and analyze the entirety of the yeast literature for biological interactions. The dissemination and interrogation of the interaction dataset was facilitated by development of an open access database called BioGRID and an associated graphical viewer called Osprey. Initially, our original data set served primarily as a benchmark for high-throughput (HTP) protein interaction datasets that we and others had generated, and as a look-up table for hypothesis generation by individual researchers . The BioGRID now contains more than 500,000 interactions across some 30 different model organism species . Comprehensive literature curation has also been completed for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and the thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana. In parallel, curation projects on human interactions in themed areas of biomedical interest have been undertaken. These datasets are disseminated by many different partner databases and meta-resources, including the Saccharomyces Genome Database  and other model organism databases, the Gene Ontology Consortium , the International Molecular Exchange (IMEx) Consortium , and the Pathway Commons initiative . The Proteomics Standards Initiative-Molecular Interactions (PSI-MI) standard has been developed by an international consortium to unify experimental evidence codes for protein interactions across databases , and analogous standards are now being developed by BioGRID and its partners for genetic interactions and quantitative phenotypic traits. The BioGRID dataset has been kept current with the literature through archived monthly updates, and has found numerous applications, from the analysis of biological network properties, to predictions of gene function, to the interpretation of genetic interactions, to a standard for automated text mining approaches .
Since our original publication, the rate of generation of molecular interaction data has exploded. Over the past several years, a variety of different HTP approaches have been used to chart protein and genetic interaction networks, which have greatly extended the scope of biological interaction space and motivated many hypothesis-driven studies. In yeast, the protein interaction landscape has grown from about 23,000 non-redundant interactions in 2006 to over 75,000 at present, while the number of genetic interactions measured by synthetic growth effects has increased from about 14,000 non-redundant interactions in 2006 to over 140,000 at present [3, 4]. HTP methods for detection of protein and nucleic acid interactions have also enabled the comprehensive inference of regulatory relationships . A host of analogous systematic detection approaches have now begun to chart the extensive networks of interactions and associated protein modifications in human cells . Even in yeast, however, the full extent of the protein and genetic interactomes, and the regulatory relationships that connect the two, remain to be determined.
A further formidable challenge will be the reconciliation of literature-based interaction data and HTP data, which are often still in discord. The level of detail and reliability of different studies varies greatly, and has led to a call for semi-quantitative metrics to score interaction reliability. The low affinity protein interactions that often underpin biological network regulation are particularly problematic in this regard, and undoubtedly account for a large fraction of currently uncharted interactions. In addition to focused studies in the literature that often draw on subtle inferences and clever experiments to detect such interactions, the application of new methods, such as protein cross-linking followed by mass spectrometric deconvolution, should help increase the rate of detection of transient regulatory interactions.
The biomedical research community is now beginning to leverage the wealth of network data across multiple species to gain a better understanding of human health and disease . As the deluge of genome sequence data associated with cancer and other diseases continues to mount, a cross-species approach that draws on experimentally tractable model species will be a key step toward understanding the function of conserved but poorly annotated human genes. To provide the necessary underlying data for these efforts, interaction and phenotype curation has been expanded by our group and others to capture data across the major model organism species, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts, plants, nematode, fruit fly, zebrafish, mouse, rat, primate, and human . These curation efforts are often focused on central biological processes or diseases. For example, we have recently undertaken exhaustive curation of the extensive interaction networks that control the state of chromatin modification and protein ubiquitination in both yeast and humans . Similarly, the Gene Ontology Consortium has undertaken initiatives to describe specific developmental and disease-associated processes . A related challenge is the elaboration of generic interaction networks that often lack context specificity towards more realistic dynamic networks that incorporate information on particular cellular contexts, developmental states or disease conditions. This task will require both more detailed annotation and the integration of different data types such as tissue-specific expression and precise phenotypes . To begin to address this, our curation efforts have begun to include the regulation of protein interactions by post-translational modifications, the specific contexts or conditions under which the interaction occurs, and the classification of genetic interactions according to quantitative phenotypes .
The utility of the comprehensive yeast interaction dataset that we described in 2006 has grown well beyond our original simple intended application as a benchmark for HTP datasets. BioGRID now houses a vast amount of data from multiple species, and is a general resource for experimental computational biologists alike. The BioGRID, its partner interaction databases, model organism databases, and public meta-resources will all play a crucial role in biomedical research in the post-genomics era. We close this brief overview by noting that there is an urgent need to develop the equivalent of a unified human model organism database that incorporates protein and genetic interaction data, regulatory data at the DNA, RNA and protein levels, polymorphism and disease-associated sequence variation data, quantitative phenotypic data, and drug-target interaction data. These integrated datasets will eventually set the stage for sophisticated computational models able to predict cellular behavior, disease outcomes and new modes of therapeutic intervention.

Sustainability is being implemented by more and more entities. After all, the welfare of the planet is the welfare of all of us and future generations. And is it possible to be guided by sustainability principles when developing digital products? Sustainable software engineering proves that it most definitely is. By incorporating environmentally friendly software development principles into operations and products, developers and other people in the ICT industry can change the world for the better.
ICT industry development vs. energy consumption
The development of the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) industry in recent decades has led to a significant increase in electricity consumption. In 2010, it was 2,000 TWh (as a reminder, one terawatt hour is one billion kilowatt hours), and is projected to rise to 8,000 TWh in 2030. In addition, the percentage of electricity consumed by ICT is expected to increase from 5% in 2012 to about 21% in 2030.
What is sustainable software engineering?
Sustainable software engineering or green software engineering is a newly emerging discipline at the intersection of climate science, software development practices, electricity markets, hardware design and data centers.
Following the principles of sustainable software engineering means creating environmentally friendly software. More and more developers are paying attention to so-called “green IT.” They create applications in such a way that it has an impact on reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Of course, the main reason why people in the ICT industry follow the principles of sustainable software engineering is the desire to support the idea of sustainable development. However, these actions have additional benefits – the resulting applications are often cheaper, more performant and, interestingly, often more resilient.
Eight principles of sustainable software engineering
The principles of sustainable software engineering are a core set of competencies needed to define, develop and release green, sustainable applications. They have been developed by Asim Hussain, Green Cloud Advocacy Lead at Microsoft. They create a picture of an environmentally responsible software engineer – regardless of industry, company size, programming language, expertise, etc.
1. Build applications that are carbon efficient
Production processes involve the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2). Efficiency for carbon emissions is about minimizing the amount of CO2 sent into the atmosphere per unit of work. The goal of sustainable software engineering is to get the most value out of every gram of carbon emitted into the atmosphere. Engineers should therefore create applications that are of equal value to users, with reduced CO2 emissions.
2. Build applications that are energy efficient
Software developers often do not consider the amount of electricity their applications consume. This is an externality – a problem for consumers and the environment. A sustainable software engineer takes responsibility for the electricity used by the applications he or she prepares. They are designed to consume as little of it as possible.
3. Consume electricity with the lowest carbon intensity
Renewable energy power plants make it possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. If we use 100% renewable energy, the CO2 intensity is close to zero. Achieving an oversupply of energy, thanks to renewable sources, increases the chances of temporarily shutting down power plants that emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
There are examples of servers operating entirely on green energy. One example is a data center in Nevada that is powered by solar panels and a Tesla Megapack energy storage system.
Some companies, such as Google, use tools such as Electricity Map or other carbon intensity APIs to adapt computing tasks to times of high availability of low-carbon energy.
4. Build applications that are hardware efficient
One strategy for increasing hardware efficiency is to extend the life of the hardware, which reduces the annual carbon cost. Engineers can design software that is resource-efficient and can run smoothly on older devices.
In addition, by designing software that is energy efficient, they contribute to reducing the number of charging cycles per time interval for devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones. In this way, they are contributing to their longer lifespan, thereby reducing the carbon cost for these devices.
5. Energy Proportionality
Energy proportionality is a measure of the correlation between the power consumed by a computer system and the speed at which useful activities are performed (its utilization). Servers are usually not configured for energy conservation. Many companies demand their full capacity as quickly as possible.
This can lead to many servers being left in idle mode during periods of low energy demand. Leaving a device in this mode is associated with inefficient use. The greenest (and most efficient) approach is to run as few servers as possible with the highest utilization.
6. Reduce the amount of data and distance it must travel across the network
When data is sent over the Internet, it passes through many devices, and each device consumes energy. As a result, any data you send or receive over the Internet emits CO2 into the atmosphere. Sometimes giving up sending just a small amount of data can have quite a positive impact on the environment.
7. Demand shaping
Demand shaping is a technique that adjusts the energy demand of an application to the current supply of “green energy.” To trigger it, the application must be carbon-aware, for example by using one of the available carbon intensity APIs.
Demand shaping can be done automatically or by giving users choices, such as a “green mode” option. This is akin to progressive upgrading, in which the system adjusts energy consumption based on the current energy supply.
8. Measurement and optimization
Sustainability is not one optimization but thousands. Developers should look at the whole process and take action step by step. The effort put into understanding it leads to simple solutions that greatly improve carbon efficiency. It is also good practice to weigh the effects of the actions required to decarbonize against their potential benefits.
The key to the success of optimization is to choose a measurement criterion that indicates where it is best performed. For example, is it worth spending two weeks to reduce megabytes in network communications if database queries result in 10 times more CO2 emissions?
At Exorigo-Upos, under the name Go Green Retail, we undertake a variety of environmentally friendly initiatives regarding energy, time, or cost savings for the customer.


Remote SQL Mode & Local Memory Mode
Alinous Elastic DB has Remote and Local Mode. In remote mode, it works as distributed RDBMS. In local mode, it works as high speed database.
This database engine works on only remote server. Then it works as high speed database which works mainly on memory.
The version written in C++ has own memory management system, and Garbage Collection engine. They cooperate together to handle data first.
This mode is for usage which needs high speed response time.
The database has strong buffer between the transaction processing engine and file I/O interface. If the server has enough memory, it works on memory.
But if there is not enough memory on the server, the cache engine uses LRU(Least Recently Used) algorithm. Therefore algorithm like BTree can work with less cache miss hit.
The memory management system handles memory allocation. Each thread has own memory pool to allocate. Therefore, memory allocation is very fast.
Huge number of row lock needs big memory. Then this database engine swap the locks from memory to disk.
Therefore lock escalation does not occurs.
The programming interface & all user interface is compatible with the database used as distributed database. Therefore, by only changing cloud node structure, or mode, it becomes scalable.
High Speed Database As Storage Engine
When this database engine works in distributed mode, it has storage nodes. The storage engine reuses this mode's components.


Lithium Ion Polymer Battery – 3.7v 10mAh
Lithium ion polymer (also known as ‘lipo’ or ‘lipoly’) batteries are thin, light and powerful. The output ranges from 4.2V when completely charged to 3.7V. This battery has a capacity of 10mAh for a total of about 4.5 Wh.
The batteries come pre-attached with a genuine 2-pin JST-PH connector as shown and include the necessary protection circuitry. Because they have a genuine JST connector, not a knock-off, the cable wont snag or get stuck in a matching JST jack, they click in and out smoothly.
The included protection circuitry keeps the battery voltage from going too high (over-charging) or low (over-use) which means that the battery will cut-out when completely dead at 3.0V. It will also protect against output shorts. However, even with this protection it is very important that you only use a LiIon/LiPoly constant-voltage/constant-current charger to recharge them and at a rate of 500mA or less.
Like most lipos, this batterie does not have a thermistor built in. This is why we suggest charging at 1/2C or even less – 500mA max in this case which is how much you can get from a USB port.
Additional safety notes: Do not use a NiMH/NiCad/lead-acid charger! Also, do not abuse these batteries, do not short, bend, crush or puncture. As with all Lithium ion polymer batteries and with any power source – they should be used by experts who are comfortable working with power supplies.
