Its combination of an easy to use API coupled with high quality documentation has lowered the barrier to compiler development significantly. This has led to a strong adoption of LLVM in many different areas and as a result we can see a wide range of projects using LLVM today. Projects using LLVM cover a large spectrum of domains, ranging from classic C/C++ toolchains to code obfuscation engines and binary translators. The vast number of different projects based on LLVM and the fact that new projects are appearing constantly makes it increasingly hard to keep track of all of them. This talk attempts to summarize the current landscape of projects which are using LLVM in one way or another. The focus of this talk is on projects using LLVM rather than the LLVM compiler infrastructure itself.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED LLVM Toolchain https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/llvm_where_used/ K.3.201 Tilmann Scheller PUBLISH 4204@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4204 babylon babylon 3D everywhere with Babylon.js A simple and powerful 3D open-source game engine en en_US Open Game Development 2016-01-31 09:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 09:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160131T090000 20160131T092500 00:25:00:00 3D everywhere with Babylon.js- A simple and powerful 3D open-source game engine <p>During this session, we will see how to use the game framework Babylon.js, and how we can easily create and use 3D content by creating a small WebGL game.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Open Game Development https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/babylon/ AW1.120 Raanan Weber Julian Chenard PUBLISH 4593@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4593 perldevroom perldevroom Welcome to the Perl devroom Home of the Perl 5 and Perl 6 family of languages en en_US Perl 2016-01-31 09:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 09:05:00 +0100 00:05:00:00 20160131T090000 20160131T090500 00:05:00:00 Welcome to the Perl devroom- Home of the Perl 5 and Perl 6 family of languages <p>Welcome and info.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Perl https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/perldevroom/ H.2214 Claudio Ramirez Wendy G.A. van Dijk PUBLISH 4078@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4078 after_describing_your_infrastructure_as_code_reuse_that_to_monitor_it after_describing_your_infrastructure_as_code_reuse_that_to_monitor_it After describing your infrastructure as code, reuse that to monitor it Active supervision and monitoring with Salt, Graphite and Grafana en en_US Configuration Management 2016-01-31 09:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 09:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20160131T090000 20160131T095000 00:50:00:00 After describing your infrastructure as code, reuse that to monitor it- Active supervision and monitoring with Salt, Graphite and Grafana <p>Having difficulties with passively testing your infrastructure with old-school supervision software ?

Furthermore, such "activity" would pretty much all the time be an application (or system) program. Well, guess what: these days, things are more complicated! Applications and physical processors have moved away from each other, as one or more layers have been put in between them. In fact, in a typical virtualization/cloud scenario, we have a hypervisor, providing the abstraction of virtual processors, and it is onto them that applications run. And here we are: running an application inside a virtual machine requires a virtual processor to be scheduled on a physical processor --at the host level-- and the application itself to be scheduler on the virtual processor --at the guest level. So, two schedulers (at least!).</p> <p>But how do these two schedulers interact right now? How should they interact ideally? Should they be closely related, completely independent, or something in the middle? Are they better be based on the same algorithm? Or do different layers have different enough needs to require highly specific solutions?</p> <p>This talk will go through the above (and more) questions, trying to outline pros and cons of a few approaches. That will happen both in a "theoretical" and practical sense. The latter meaning that we will be looking at some real scheduling traces (at both host and guest level), and at numbers from different benchmarks. The main focus, especially of the 'case study' part, will be on the Xen's scheduler(s) (i.e., on the interactions between Xen's and Linux's schedulers) but we will have a look at a few KVM data points as well.</p> <p>One Scheduler to rule them all.

However, obtaining the complete, corresponding source code (CCS), which Linux's license (GPL) requires, can prove difficult. The license dictates technical requirements;verification of a source code release for license compliance therefore requires technical analysis. After 15 years of reviewing such CCS relases, the speaker discovered (finally!) an excellent example,which not only meets GPL's requirements, but also encourages users to take advantage of their rights to modify and install new versions of the software. This talk explains the aspects of the source release that made it particularly outstanding, and proposes methods to achieve similar compliance successes. Attendees will learn procedures to increase the "tinkerer" userbase,and receive valuable insight into the compliance engineering analysis that occurs during GPL enforcement work.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal and Policy Issues https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/beautiful_build/ UD2.218A Bradley M.

However, the existing FDW implementations for Big Data systems, such as Hdfs or Hive, lack a few key features and doesn’t have a common framework.</p> <p>PXF provides a unified extensible framework for accessing any distributed system data source. Existing plugins include loading and querying of data stored in HDFS, HBase and Hive. It supports a wide range of data formats such as Text, Avro, Sequence, Hive RCFile, ORC, Parquet and Avro formats and HBase. The pluggable framework makes it very convenient for adding new custom plugins. It also supports advanced statistics and filter pushdown. PXF is an open source project and is currently being used by Apache HAWQ’s external table via PXF’s exposed REST API and is in the process of being integrated with other SQL engines.</p> <p>With the integration of PXF into Postgres FDW, we can achieve a single unified pluggable framework to read and write any distributed system data source. PXF also abstracts Postgres from any remote client dependencies and provides a clean installation mechanism.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED PostgreSQL https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/postgresql_unified_framework_for_big_data_foreign_data_wrappers/ H.1309 (Van Rijn) Shivram Mani PUBLISH 3718@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3718 cockpit cockpit AMENDMENT: Cockpit: A Linux Session in your Browser en en_US Enterprise 2016-01-30 11:00:00 +0100 2016-01-30 11:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20160130T110000 20160130T115000 00:50:00:00 AMENDMENT: Cockpit: A Linux Session in your Browser <p>Cockpit is the new system admin UI for Linux.

Our first stop was Paxos, which turned out to be complex and lacking accurate and comprehensive specifications.

It controls responsiveness with autonomously made decisions of participation in the cluster, while providing data availability.</p> <p>In this lightning talk I will recount the road bumps we hit while implementing the consensus algorithm and the headaches we had before we ditched Paxos.

These files provide the kernel with the necessary information about hardware devices, their connections, clocks, resets and other properties that could be either runtime probed, or would be provided by the BIOS on normal PC systems.</p> <p>FPGAs have been present in embedded systems for a long time. Their reconfigurability allows for in-the-field upgrades to large parts of a system's functionality. For this kind of reconfigurability it is sufficient to reload the FPGA image once at boot, and to present the peripherals in the programmable logic parts to the Linux Kernel in the same way as any other hardware.</p> <p>With FPGA based SoCs such as Altera's SocFPGA and Xilinx Zynq this model of reconfiguration poses its challenges, as runtime reconfiguration (and even partial reconfiguration) may cause parts of the fabric-based logic to temporarily (or permanently!) disappear. In that case presenting the FPGA based logic to the kernel might lead to issues as the corresponding device drivers don't get unloaded properly when the corresponding logic goes away.</p> <p>Vendor trees (that contain modifications to the Linux Kernel, that have not been upstreamed) provide userland applications with a capability to reload the FPGA image. In this case a hybrid system with in kernel drivers and userland applications is quickly forced into using ugly hacks to make it all work together.</p> <p>FPGA manager is a vendor-neutral framework currently under development (will be in 4.4), that allows reloading FPGA images in a safe, clean and intuitive manner, while nicely integrating with the Linux Kernel's driver model.</p> <p>To model the dependencies of FPGA based IP in processor based SoC's the SimpleFPGA bus was developed. It allows to specify dependency topologies to reconfigure SoC busses at runtime, while dealing with issues such as runtime clock control, resets, as well as loading the correct (partial) bitstreams through FPGA Manager.</p> <p>Originally developed to support the BeagleBone Black's capes that require runtime pinctrl, devicetree overlays can be used to change the Linux Kernel's representation of the devicetree at runtime. Recently merged into upstream devicetree overlays provide a very natural and clean way to describe modifications to the devicetree, while keeping the whole system in a coherent state.</p> <p>This talk will give a brief intro to devicetree, the problems related to runtime reconfiguration and then describe the SimpleFPGA bus and FPGA Manager frameworks. Some simple examples using devicetree overlays will be given that will demonstrate why the three elements make for such a compelling combination.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Embedded, Mobile and Automotive https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/fpga_devicetree/ UD2.120 (Chavanne) Moritz Fischer PUBLISH 4546@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4546 postgresql_improving_postgres_buffer_manager postgresql_improving_postgres_buffer_manager Improving Postgres' Buffer Manager en en_US PostgreSQL 2016-01-31 12:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 12:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20160131T120000 20160131T125000 00:50:00:00 Improving Postgres' Buffer Manager <p>Postgresql's buffer manager has parts where it's showing its age.

Scylla applies systems programming techniques to a horizontally scalable NoSQL design to achieve extreme performance improvements. As CPU core counts continue to grow, along with the raw speed of networking and storage devices available on a modern system, software design approaches that were valid and safe even a few years ago are no longer sustainable.</p> <p>Scylla enables high throughput, low latency, and rapid completion of housekeeping operations such as compaction. Scylla eliminates known performance bottlenecks of existing NoSQL servers by running multiple engines, one per core, each with its own memory, CPU and multi-queue NIC. Scylla bypasses key performance bottlenecks that can affect NoSQL server performance using per-core memory allocation to avoid locking, and asynchronous I/O for storage to bypass the system page cache. With Scylla, NoSQL projects can avoid performance uncertainties up front in order to deploy a system that performs and scales with a low risk of unpredictable performance issues later.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED HPC, Big Data and Data Science https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/hpc_bigdata_scylla/ AW1.126 Roman Shaposhnik PUBLISH 4079@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4079 gopy gopy CANCELLED gopy: extend CPython with Go en en_US Go 2016-01-31 12:15:00 +0100 2016-01-31 13:00:00 +0100 00:45:00:00 20160131T121500 20160131T130000 00:45:00:00 CANCELLED gopy: extend CPython with Go PUBLIC CONFIRMED Go https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/gopy/ H.1302 (Depage) Sebastien Binet PUBLISH 4206@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4206 docker_for_developers docker_for_developers Docker for Developers en en_US Containers and Process Isolation 2016-01-30 12:15:00 +0100 2016-01-30 12:45:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20160130T121500 20160130T124500 00:30:00:00 Docker for Developers <p>Docker is not just for deployment.

He decided that the <a href="http://www.bruno-latour.fr/node/252">paper book</a> was no place for the numerous footnotes, documentation or glossary, instead giving access to all this information surrounding the book through a <a href="http://modesofexistence.org/">web application</a> which would present itself as a reading companion. He also offered to the community of readers to submit their contributions to his inquiry by writing new documents to be added to the platform. The first version of our <a href="https://github.com/medialab/aime-core">web application</a> was built on PHP Yiii and MySQL on the server side. This soon proved to be a nightmare to maintain because of the ultra-relational nature of our data. We refactored it completely to use node.js and Neo4J. We went from a tree system with internal links modelized inside a relational database to a graph of paragraphs included into documents, subchapters etc. all sharing links between them. On the way, we've learned Neo4J thoroughly, from graph data modeling to cypher tricks and developped our custom cypher query graphical monitor using sigma.js in order to check our data trans-modeling consistency.</p> <p>During this journey, we've stumbled upon data model questions : ordered links, sub items grouping necessity, data output constraints from Neo4J, and finally the limitations of Neo4J community edition. Finally we feel much more confortable as developers in our new system. Reasoning about our data has become much easier and, moreover, our users are also happier since the platform's performance has never been better.</p> <p>Our intention is, therefore, to share our experience with the community:</p> <pre><code>- our application's data needs - our shift from a MySQL data model to a Neo4J graph model - our feedbacks in using a graph database and more precisely Neo4J including our custom admin tool [Agent Smith](https://github.com/Yomguithereal/agent-smith) - a very quick description of the admin tools we built to let the researchers write or modify contents (a markdown web editor) </code></pre> <p>The research has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / erc Grant ‘IDEAS’ 2010 n° 269567”</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Graph Processing https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/graph_processing_mysql_to_graph/ AW1.126 Paul Girard PUBLISH 3815@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3815 neon_latest_kde neon_latest_kde Neon Latest KDE en en_US Desktops 2016-01-31 12:45:00 +0100 2016-01-31 13:15:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20160131T124500 20160131T131500 00:30:00:00 Neon- Latest KDE <p>Neon is a project to make daily packages for KDE</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Desktops https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/neon_latest_kde/ K.4.401 Jonathan Riddell PUBLISH 3972@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3972 state_of_xmpp state_of_xmpp The state of XMPP and instant messaging The awakening en en_US Real Time 2016-01-30 12:50:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:10:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20160130T125000 20160130T131000 00:20:00:00 The state of XMPP and instant messaging- The awakening <p>XMPP is coming back, and is here to stay!

Full Software Libre compliance actually affects their bottom line, and it's the responsibility of Directors to pathologically maximise profits. In fact, selling eco-conscious products that can be upgraded year-on-year, throwing away perfectly good components in the process, also adversely affects a Corporation's bottom line.</p> <p>Competing with existing profit-maximising Corporations on "Software Libre Compliance" is not a strong selling point: nobody who isn't a programmer actually really cares, and they're not knowledgeable enough to upgrade the software anyway - they'd rather just throw the whole thing away and get a new one, in the naive hope that the new OS will somehow be better, cleaner, and free from the malware attacks that slowed down the perfectly good hardware they just discarded into landfill.</p> <p>People are mainly influenced by money (saving it), cool-factor, convenience and fear. So the trick is to come up with a strategy that plays on all these four things. The EOMA68 Project thus was envisioned as a way to help people save money (because they can upgrade just like popping out a "Memory Card", they can now push a button and pop out the "Computer Card"), as well as help reassure them on personal security. Sending the laptop back for repair, you don't want the people in the shop to copy or rifle through your private data? No problem: pop out the "Computer Card" before sending it off... and incidentally you can pop that Computer Card into a spare base unit and carry on working.</p> <p>Almost as an incidental side-line, then, the products being developed are Software Libre Compliant right from the ground up (not that the end-users really need to know that, as it's not a major selling-point to them). Some of the products being developed can even be RYF Certified (are FSF-Endorseable) - again, the average end-user doesn't care about this. However, Software Libre developers will know what's under the hood, and are being invited to participate in bringing these products to market. The first main products will be two EOMA68-compliant CPU Cards (one with an FSF-Endorseable Ingenic jz4775, the other with an Allwinner A20 dual-core ARM Cortex A7), a Micro-Desktop "base" and a 15.6in 1366x768 Laptop. The laptop's case is 3D-printable on a standard 200x200mm Mendel90, and uses bamboo laminate for the main panels, to save on plastic.</p> <p>In short: where standard Hardware Corporations are set on maximising profits year after year, collectively they've left a gaping hole in the market that, with a little creative thinking, can be filled by someone who is willing to take active responsibility for doing things in a conscientious and principled way. The resultant products - which have an expected upgrade lifecycle of at least a decade - just happen to be really cool.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning Talks https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/why_libre_hardware/ H.2215 (Ferrer) Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton PUBLISH 3602@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3602 facebook facebook RocksDB Storage Engine for MySQL LSM databases at Facebook en en_US Miscellaneous 2016-01-31 13:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 13:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20160131T130000 20160131T135000 00:50:00:00 RocksDB Storage Engine for MySQL- LSM databases at Facebook <p>At Facebook, we have been developing and using the RocksDB storage engine in a number of different services and applications.</p> <p>The goal of this talk is to introduce some background on the MyRocks project and some of the features we've added to MySQL and RocksDB to support our production environment.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Miscellaneous https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/facebook/ Janson Yoshinori Matsunobu PUBLISH 4165@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4165 virt_iaas_real_time_cloud virt_iaas_real_time_cloud Real-Time Cloud en en_US Virtualisation and IaaS 2016-01-30 13:00:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:40:00 +0100 00:40:00:00 20160130T130000 20160130T134000 00:40:00:00 Real-Time Cloud <p>Infrastructure as a Service deployment has replaced traditional dedicated hardware in many datacentres.</p> <p>But today's cloud computing also has its limitations, which makes it not suitable for applications with strict timing requirements.</p> <p>That is why real time systems, like telecommunication, trading, and control systems, are mostly still deployed in the traditional way and can not make use of all the advantages IaaS deployments have to offer.</p> <p>The talk is about a real time enabled OpenStack prototype, which enables real time virtual machines connected to the outside world with real time networking.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Virtualisation and IaaS https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/virt_iaas_real_time_cloud/ UB2.252A (Lameere) Henning Schild PUBLISH 4127@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4127 ghdl ghdl GHDL what's new en en_US EDA 2016-01-30 13:00:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:30:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20160130T130000 20160130T133000 00:30:00:00 GHDL what's new <p>'GHDL What's new ?' will present the main changes in GHDL since last presentation at FOSDEM 2015: features added, new frameworks supported, new hosting, and future developments</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED EDA https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/ghdl/ AW1.121 Tristan Gingold PUBLISH 4570@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4570 jep243 jep243 JEP 243: Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface and what it can be used for en en_US Free Java 2016-01-31 13:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 13:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160131T130000 20160131T132500 00:25:00:00 JEP 243: Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface and what it can be used for PUBLIC CONFIRMED Free Java https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/jep243/ H.1301 (Cornil) Christian Thalinger PUBLISH 4413@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4413 geo_flight geo_flight OSM + SRTM + WebGL = Flight Simulator en en_US Geospatial 2016-01-31 13:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 13:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160131T130000 20160131T132500 00:25:00:00 OSM + SRTM + WebGL = Flight Simulator PUBLIC CONFIRMED Geospatial https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/geo_flight/ AW1.121 Thomas Bremer PUBLISH 3637@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3637 tizen3security tizen3security Tizen 3.0 platform security model Security framework for constraining applications' privileges en en_US Security 2016-01-30 13:00:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160130T130000 20160130T132500 00:25:00:00 Tizen 3.0 platform security model- Security framework for constraining applications' privileges <p>Most important design goal of Tizen 3.0 security framework is to separate applications from user private data and from fragile parts of the operating system.

These days there are so many options fo create your own games, even your own game engine. Then comes a big problem. Unplanned obsolescence. Every game engine dies. Every game engine that has its own crazy, crappy script variant, has its own API, its own tremors. And when it dies you might usually lose your rendering code, your shader infrastructure, your gameplay routines or your business logic.</p> <p>Haxe tries to solve all these problems. It is not an engine, nor a framework. It is a language and a toolkit. Haxe compiles your code to every major languages used for game developments. Haxe pre-optimizes your code so that you focus on your game. Haxe does native compilation and allow you to bypass VM's. With its advanced type system and aggresive inlining, it can even allow jitted code to go faster than hand written code.</p> <p>Whether you use Unity3D, Flash, Unreal, Haxe can bring you goodness and agility.</p> <p>So let's talk about OSS and Haxe a bit!</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Open Game Development https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/haxe/ AW1.120 David "Blackmagic" Elahee PUBLISH 4159@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4159 kodi kodi What will be new in Kodi version 17 en en_US Open Media 2016-01-30 13:30:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:55:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160130T133000 20160130T135500 00:25:00:00 What will be new in Kodi version 17 <p>We will give a short presentation of the most important changes that will be added in Kodi version 17.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Open Media https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/kodi/ H.2214 Martijn Kaijser PUBLISH 4116@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4116 osd_diy_mobile_usability_testing osd_diy_mobile_usability_testing DIY mobile usability testing A cheap, cheerful and portable lab for mobile testing en en_US Open Source Design 2016-01-30 13:30:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:50:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20160130T133000 20160130T135000 00:20:00:00 DIY mobile usability testing- A cheap, cheerful and portable lab for mobile testing <p>In this session we will show how to build a simple, cheap and portable testing lab to run and capture usability studies with mobile devices.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Open Source Design https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/osd_diy_mobile_usability_testing/ AW1.120 Belen Barros Pena PUBLISH 4408@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4408 libreoffice_online_internals libreoffice_online_internals LibreOffice Online internals en en_US Open Document Editors 2016-01-30 13:30:00 +0100 2016-01-30 13:50:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20160130T133000 20160130T135000 00:20:00:00 LibreOffice Online internals <p>Come and see LibreOffice Online in action.

Full Software Libre compliance actually affects their bottom line, and it's the responsibility of Directors to pathologically maximise profits. In fact, selling eco-conscious products that can be upgraded year-on-year, throwing away perfectly good components in the process, also adversely affects a Corporation's bottom line.</p> <p>Competing with existing profit-maximising Corporations on "Software Libre Compliance" is not a strong selling point: nobody who isn't a programmer actually really cares, and they're not knowledgeable enough to upgrade the software anyway - they'd rather just throw the whole thing away and get a new one, in the naive hope that the new OS will somehow be better, cleaner, and free from the malware attacks that slowed down the perfectly good hardware they just discarded into landfill.</p> <p>People are mainly influenced by money (saving it), cool-factor, convenience and fear. So the trick is to come up with a strategy that plays on all these four things. The EOMA68 Project thus was envisioned as a way to help people save money (because they can upgrade just like popping out a "Memory Card", they can now push a button and pop out the "Computer Card"), as well as help reassure them on personal security. Sending the laptop back for repair, you don't want the people in the shop to copy or rifle through your private data? No problem: pop out the "Computer Card" before sending it off... and incidentally you can pop that Computer Card into a spare base unit and carry on working.</p> <p>Almost as an incidental side-line, then, the products being developed are Software Libre Compliant right from the ground up (not that the end-users really need to know that, as it's not a major selling-point to them). Some of the products being developed can even be RYF Certified (are FSF-Endorseable) - again, the average end-user doesn't care about this. However, Software Libre developers will know what's under the hood, and are being invited to participate in bringing these products to market. The first main products will be two EOMA68-compliant CPU Cards (one with an FSF-Endorseable Ingenic jz4775, the other with an Allwinner A20 dual-core ARM Cortex A7), a Micro-Desktop "base" and a 15.6in 1366x768 Laptop. The laptop's case is 3D-printable on a standard 200x200mm Mendel90, and uses bamboo laminate for the main panels, to save on plastic.</p> <p>In short: where standard Hardware Corporations are set on maximising profits year after year, collectively they've left a gaping hole in the market that, with a little creative thinking, can be filled by someone who is willing to take active responsibility for doing things in a conscientious and principled way. The resultant products - which have an expected upgrade lifecycle of at least a decade - just happen to be really cool.</p> <p>(Please note that this talk replaces "Emulating the Nintendo 3DS" by Tony Wasserka.)</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning Talks https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/libre_hardware_how/ H.2215 (Ferrer) Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton PUBLISH 4579@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4579 guilevm guilevm Good news, everybody!

I'll also reveal plans of re-building Doctrine Migrations using the Baleen framework.

Most of those mistakes can't be fixed because doing so would break the ABI that the kernel presents to user-space binaries. To further rub salt into the wound, kernel-user-space APIs are often buggy when first shipped. Thus, it's important to get API designs right the first time. Taking (good and bad) examples from past APIs, I'll cover a number ideas on improving the design of future kernel user-space APIs. Those tips are relevant both for kernel developers producing the APIs and for user-space programmers looking at what kernel developers are serving to them. I'll also look at some strategies that developers can pursue in order to get help with improving the designs of APIs that they are producing.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Miscellaneous https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/design_linux_kernel_api/ Janson Michael Kerrisk PUBLISH 3813@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3813 kernelci kernelci kernelci.org: The Upstream Linux Kernel Validation Project en en_US Embedded, Mobile and Automotive 2016-01-31 14:00:00 +0100 2016-01-31 14:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20160131T140000 20160131T145000 00:50:00:00 kernelci.org: The Upstream Linux Kernel Validation Project <p>The kernelci.org project is currently doing hundreds of build and boot tests for upstream kernels on a wide variety of hardware.

It offers robust and efficient linguistic annotation to both researchers and non-NLP experts with the aim of lowering the barriers of using NLP technology either for research purposes or for small industrial developers and SMEs. The ixa pipes can be used or exploit its modularity to pick and change different components. Every ixa pipe can be up an running after two simple steps. The tools require Java 1.7+ to run and are designed to come with all batteries included, which means that it is not required to do any system configuration or install any third-party dependencies. The modules will run on any platform as long as a JVM 1.7+ is available.</p> <p>IXA pipes are just a set of processes chained by their standard streams, in a way that the output of each process feeds directly as input to the next one. The Unix pipes metaphor has been applied for NLP tools by adopting a very simple and well known data centric architecture, in which every module/pipe is interchangeable by any other tool as long as it reads and writes the required data format via the standard streams.</p> <p>The data format in which both the input and output of the modules needs to be formatted to represent and pipe linguistic annotations is NAF. We currently covered tokenization, pos tagging, lemmatization, Named Entity Recognition and classification and probabilistic parsing, but further annotations and languages can be easily added.

What can we learn if we compare code review in OSS projects and at Microsoft? In this talk, I will present and compare the results of two studies about code review: One conducted at Microsoft and one conducted in open source settings. We learn that--despite the differences in environments, incentives, languages, and used tools--code review at Microsoft and in the analyzed open source projects have one common trait: The outcome. Unfortunately, this outcome does not match the main reasons why developers say they do code reviews: Finding defects.

Most of these algorithms require that the server and the client run the same algorithm otherwise risk desynchronisation - the nightmare of realtime collaboration algorithm designers. I will propose a new method of finding consensus using a blockchain of the type originated in bitcoin. This algorithm uses the blockchain to find consensus on the state of the collaborative document or data-structure then applies the Operational Transformation on the client side without requiring any help from the server. Such a setup simplifies the server side, allowing multiple implementations of the server, for example in different programming languages, but it also allows the client-side to use encryption in order to keep the data secret from the server. Finally, I will propose an extension to this algorithm which, borrowing again from bitcoin, makes the system able to function purely as a peer-to-peer system, providing high resilience and greater security.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Real Time https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/blockchains/ K.3.401 Caleb James DeLisle PUBLISH 3921@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3921 improving_telepathy improving_telepathy Improving Telepathy Reliability and convenience en en_US Desktops 2016-01-31 14:20:00 +0100 2016-01-31 15:00:00 +0100 00:40:00:00 20160131T142000 20160131T150000 00:40:00:00 Improving Telepathy- Reliability and convenience <p>The future of Telepathy, the most popular open source real-time communications API.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Desktops https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/improving_telepathy/ K.4.401 Daniel Pocock PUBLISH 3924@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3924 brainduino brainduino Open-Source Neuroheadset Brain-Duino High-Quality Brain-Computer Interface en en_US Lightning Talks 2016-01-30 14:20:00 +0100 2016-01-30 14:35:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20160130T142000 20160130T143500 00:15:00:00 Open-Source Neuroheadset Brain-Duino- High-Quality Brain-Computer Interface <p>In the recent years, affordable Brain-Computer Interfaces are becoming more accessible for consumers.

Continuous integration (CI) setups that track correctness of top-of-trunk work pretty well today since they automatically report correctness regressions with low false positive rate to committers. In comparison, the output generated by CI setups that track performance require far more human effort to interpret.</p> <p>In this talk, I’ll describe why I think effective performance tracking is hard and what problems need solving, with a focus on our real world experiences and observations.</p> <p>As part of the bring-up of one of the public performance tracking bots, I’ve done an in-depth analysis of its performance and noise characteristics. The insights gained from this analysis drove a number of improvements to LNT and the test-suite in the past year.

With IoT.js developers can create IoT services that communicate with each other and the outside world. IoT.js is a lightweight version of Node.js and designed to bring the success of Node.js to small IoT devices like lamps, thermometers, switches and sensors. This class of devices tends to use resource-constrained microcontrollers which are too small to fit a full Node.js stack. In order to meet those constraints, IoT.js runs on top of JerryScript which is a lightweight JavaScript engine running on platforms with less than 64KB of RAM and less than 200KB of flash memory. Despite the low footprint, JerryScript is a full-featured JavaScript engine implementing the entire ECMAScript 5.1 standard. Both IoT.js and JerryScript are open source projects released under the Apache License.

This was done thanks to the Rump kernel, embedded in a library. As a first-working implementation the library is directly linked into mplayer, but of course we plan to make this much more flexible by moving the Rump sound driver into a separate translator, very much like we did for network drivers with netdde. This however poses design questions. The other hardware bit missing on the Hurd is USB support, which we should be able to add a similar way. This poses yet more design questions, as to the shape of the hird of translators we should start for this.

If such a row already exists, the implementation should update it. If not, a new row should be inserted. This is supported by way of a new high level syntax (a clause that extends the INSERT statement) that more or less relieves the application developer from having to give any thought to race conditions. This common operation for client applications is set to become far simpler and far less error-prone than legacy ad-hoc approaches to UPSERT involving subtransactions. Moreover, the new implementation performs much better than those legacy approaches.</p> <p>While the feature is most obviously compelling for OLTP and web application use cases, it's also true that the syntax is powerful enough to be very useful in many real world data integration scenarios. The non-standard PostgreSQL syntax offer explicit, fine grained control over where and how to update. For example, an update may not actually affect an existing row due to not satisfying some additional criteria (i.e. due to not passing the ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE special, dedicated WHERE clause).</p> <p>This talk gives an overview of the feature from a high level, and examines these use cases. You will learn how you might want to use the new UPSERT feature in your application beyond the obvious. In passing, there will be brief discussion of why UPSERT's implementation proved to be a hard problem, and, relatedly, why a custom syntax was used instead of the SQL standard's MERGE syntax.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED PostgreSQL https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/postgresql_upsert_use_cases/ H.1309 (Van Rijn) Peter Geoghegan PUBLISH 4437@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4437 h2o_machine_learning h2o_machine_learning H2O: An Open-Source Platform for Machine Learning and Big Data/Big Math en en_US Enterprise 2016-01-30 15:00:00 +0100 2016-01-30 15:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20160130T150000 20160130T155000 00:50:00:00 H2O: An Open-Source Platform for Machine Learning and Big Data/Big Math <p>H2O: An Open-Source Platform for Machine Learning and Big Data/Big Math.

Sulong uses Graal as a JIT compiler which performs aggressive optimizations to reach native execution speeds. We will shortly explain the concepts of Truffle and Graal, to then focus on Sulong itself.</p> <p>First, we will present how to get started hacking Sulong, and use the mx build tool of the Truffle/Graal ecosystem. We use the Truffle Domain Specific Language (DSL) to implement LLVM IR operations as AST nodes, and we will demonstrate how Graal optimizes and compiles the AST. Subsequently, we demonstrate how we implement speculative optimizations such as value profiling, profile based inlining, branch probability injection, inlining of function pointer calls, and other dynamic optimizations.</p> <p>We show how Sulong uses the Java Unsafe API to access native memory and implement pointers. By using the Graal Foreign Native Interface Sulong can call native libraries directly from Java code. Virtual registers from LLVM bitcode are mapped to the Truffle Frame implementation which gets escape-analyzed and thus ensures fast access to local variables. We show how we map some of the common data types such as I32 directly to Java primitives, and how we map others such as the X86 80 bit floating point to custom Java types.</p> <p>Finally, we give you an outline of the things we still want to implement in Sulong, and how other Truffle languages can use Sulong as their native interfaces, and perform function inlining and optimizations over language boundaries. We will also present how we want to use Truffle and the Java platform to implement security features such as efficient integer overflow value tagging and memory safety.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED LLVM Toolchain https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/llvm_sulong/ K.3.201 Manuel Rigger PUBLISH 4358@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4358 fbmc fbmc Prototyping the 5G Air Interface in GNU Radio: An FBMC Primer en en_US Software Defined Radio 2016-01-31 15:15:00 +0100 2016-01-31 15:40:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160131T151500 20160131T154000 00:25:00:00 Prototyping the 5G Air Interface in GNU Radio: An FBMC Primer PUBLIC CONFIRMED Software Defined Radio https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/fbmc/ AW1.125 Milan Zivkovic PUBLISH 4475@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4475 microkernels_minix_vmd microkernels_minix_vmd Always in the shadow: the history of Minix-vmd en en_US Microkernels 2016-01-30 15:15:00 +0100 2016-01-30 15:45:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20160130T151500 20160130T154500 00:30:00:00 Always in the shadow: the history of Minix-vmd <p>Minix-vmd is a fork of MINIX 1.6 developed by Kees Bot and Philip Homburg.

Originally, syslog-ng has been written in C, with the pros and cons of the language. Although there are a few 3rd party tools in C language, utilizing these results in encountering several problems, for example difficulties when we attempt to follow the original libraries, maintenance issues, and so on. Therefore, in order to stay up-to-date with the big data tools, we must use the official Java APIs. This is why we have started our “Java language binding” project. We also hope that this project will be an important factor in the syslog-ng community, because now anyone who wants to contribute to improving syslog-ng by developing plugins in Java can do so.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning Talks https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/syslog_ng/ H.2215 (Ferrer) Viktor Juhász PUBLISH 4508@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4508 fossa fossa EU-FOSSA Free and Open Source Software Auditing en en_US Lightning Talks 2016-01-31 15:20:00 +0100 2016-01-31 15:35:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20160131T152000 20160131T153500 00:15:00:00 EU-FOSSA- Free and Open Source Software Auditing <p>EU-FOSSA: Pilot Project for auditing of Open Source Software at the European Institutions</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning Talks https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/fossa/ H.2215 (Ferrer) Marek Przybyszewski PUBLISH 4404@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4404 libreoffice_extension libreoffice_extension LibreOffice extension development Tools, Tips & Tricks of the Trade en en_US Open Document Editors 2016-01-30 15:20:00 +0100 2016-01-30 15:40:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20160130T152000 20160130T154000 00:20:00:00 LibreOffice extension development- Tools, Tips & Tricks of the Trade PUBLIC CONFIRMED Open Document Editors https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/libreoffice_extension/ K.4.401 Thorsten Behrens PUBLISH 4604@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4604 whatsnewperl whatsnewperl What's new in Perl?

This is primarily due to identifier scope complications introduced by the C preprocessor. The CScout refactoring browser analyses complete program families by tagging the original identifiers with their precise location and classifying them into equivalence classes orthogonal to the C language's namespace and scope extents. A web-based user interface provides programmers with an intuitive source code analysis and navigation front-end, while an SQL-based backend allows more complex source code analysis and manipulation. CScout has been successfully applied to many medium and large open source and proprietary projects identifying thousands of modest refactoring opportunities.

Gradoop is designed around the so-called Extended Property Graph Model (EPGM) and supports semantically rich, schema-free graph data. In this model, a database consists of multiple property graphs, which we call logical graphs. These graphs are application specific subsets from shared vertex and edge sets. The EPGM provides operators for both single graphs as well as collections of graphs. Operators may also return single graphs or graph collections thus enabling the definition of analytical workflows in a declarative way.</p> <p>In my talk, I would like to give an overview of Gradoop, the EPGM and its operators and show how Apache Flink helps us by presenting a subset of our operator implementations. Furthermore, I will sketch the usefulness of Gradoop by presenting an analytical use case from the business intelligence domain.</p> <p>Gradoop is open-source and licenced under GPLv3. The Gradoop source code and a short documentation can be found on GitHub [3], a more detailed explanation of the data model and our operators can be found in a technical report [4].</p> <p>[1] http://www.gradoop.com [2] http://flink.apache.org/ [3] https://github.com/dbs-leipzig/gradoop [4] http://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.00548.pdf</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Graph Processing https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/graph_processing_gradoop_flink_analytics/ AW1.126 Martin Junghanns PUBLISH 4307@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4307 distributedsdr distributedsdr Synchronization in distributed SDR for localization applications The challenge of nanosecond accuracy en en_US Software Defined Radio 2016-01-31 15:45:00 +0100 2016-01-31 16:05:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20160131T154500 20160131T160500 00:20:00:00 Synchronization in distributed SDR for localization applications- The challenge of nanosecond accuracy <p>We present the problem of synchronizing a system of distributed receivers by the means of GPS in order to use it to localize radio wave emissions.

It's not over: many more threats are on the way. Not by coincidence these attacks on copyleft come when "Open Source" reaches new heights of success. For example, hordes of software developers are funded full time to churn out new Free Software, as long as it's not copylefted. Some such code is specifically designed to replace existing, widely used, copylefted programs. Meanwhile, programs under copyleft licenses (most notably the kernel named Linux) face a decades long, ongoing myriad of license violations. Such violations include nefarious attempts by major companies to shirk their responsibilities under copyleft. The situation is undoubtedly bleak. Those of us who care about software freedom need a plan. Copyleft once assured an equal playing field, but big companies work daily to tilt the playing field in their favor and against the interests of most developers, hobbyists, users, and enthusiasts.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal and Policy Issues https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/copyleft_for_the_next_decade/ H.2213 Bradley M.

Recording wideband signals is a challenging task, with high data rates often yielding low resolution samples and hence poor range. Multiple strategies have been investigated to reduce the recording rate, including stroboscopy (assuming a static environment), downconversion or frequency stepped measurements, all of which are well suited to feed Software Defined Radio applications. In addition to monitoring passive reflectors, cooperative targets can be designed to reflect a signal whose delay is not representative of distance or velocity but a physical quantity. One early application of such an insight has been the bug placed by Russians in the American ambassador house, modulating an incoming continuous wave illumination signal to an amplitude modulated backscattered signal. Although the leaked NSA documents hint at such techniques still being used today, we will be interested in more daily applications in which sensors are designed to return a signal representative of an identifier (ID-tag) or a physical property.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Software Defined Radio https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/radar/ AW1.125 Jean-Michel Friedt PUBLISH 4431@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4431 gerrit gerrit New features in Gerrit Code Review 2.11 en en_US Open Document Editors 2016-01-30 16:20:00 +0100 2016-01-30 16:40:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20160130T162000 20160130T164000 00:20:00:00 New features in Gerrit Code Review 2.11 <p>Gerrit Code Review is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Firewalls, Virtual Private Networking, and IPv6 are just a few of the features present in the kernel that were not even envisioned when the original UNIX releases were developed over 30 years ago. Advances in networking hardware, with 10Gbps NIC cards being available for only a few hundred dollars, have far outstripped the speeds for which the kernel’s network software was originally written. As with the increasing speed of processors over the last 30 years, systems developers and integrators have always depended on the next generation of hardware to solve the current generation’s performance bottlenecks, often without resorting to any coherent form of measurement. This presentation shows developers and systems integrators at all proficiency levels how to benchmark networking systems, with specific examples.

A great number of mobile apps have been developed to assist users protect their privacy, but little has been done to address the issues facing distribution of the apps themselves. Basically all of the app stores except F-Droid track their users in detail. Meanwhile, we are working to make F-Droid even more private. Google Play is blocked in many countries, and app stores like Play or iTunes often censor to comply with regional law, whether just or not. Regional app stores are often cesspools of malware. In many countries, people exchange apps through web forums, email, bluetooth, SD Cards, or any other method they can figure out, whether safe or not. Effective techniques for circumventing censorship and internet outages exist, and work in many places, but none work in all, and it is very difficult to keep track of them all. This current state requires users, trainers, developers, and organizations to be fluent in many technical details in order to effectively get and distribute mobile apps and media around the world.</p> <p>In Cuba, people share apps via mesh networks and thumb drives. In Vietnam, swapping apps with Bluetooth is widespread. In China, the internet is ubiquitous but heavily filtered and monitored; but "collateral freedom" techniques have proven effective. Each of these workarounds can also be useful in many other parts of the world so F-Droid is including them all in a unified user experience. All of these distribution methods are included in F-Droid, and we are now working to provide a simple, smooth user experience, with three use cases in mind:</p> <ul> <li><p>The developer is in control of a simple set of commands that automate the entire distribution workflow for making highly secure, reproducible builds then getting them out through all possible channels.</p></li> <li><p>Organizations and trainers can use these tools to make curated collections of apps and media use, without getting caught up in the technical details of the whole process.</p></li> <li><p>The end user gets a familiar app store experience, regardless of the complexity behind their successful connectivity.</p></li> </ul> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Security https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/fdroidappstore/ H.1309 (Van Rijn) Hans-Christoph Steiner PUBLISH 4134@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4134 armsbc_arduino armsbc_arduino Running the Processing environment on ARM SBCs Lessons learned & what's missing for having an Arduino equivalent on top of Linux en en_US Embedded, Mobile and Automotive 2016-01-31 16:30:00 +0100 2016-01-31 16:55:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160131T163000 20160131T165500 00:25:00:00 Running the Processing environment on ARM SBCs- Lessons learned & what's missing for having an Arduino equivalent on top of Linux <p>The 25 minutes talk intends to familiarize the audience with the Processing software sketchbook &amp; language used extensively in education, and gives an overview of the state of this software running on single board computers (RPi, Allwinner SOCs).

Hence, graph database systems are becoming increasingly important. In the study of these systems, it is vital that the R&amp;D community has shared benchmarking solutions for the generation of database instances and query workloads having predictable and controllable properties. Similarly to TPC benchmarks for relational databases, benchmarks for graph databases have been important drivers for the Semantic Web and graph data management communities. Current benchmarks, however, are either limited to fixed graphs or graph schemas, or provide limited or no support for generating tailored query workloads to accompany graph instances.</p> <p>To move the community forward, a benchmarking approach which overcomes these limitations is crucial. In this talk, we present the design and engineering principles of gMark, a domain- and query language-independent open-source graph benchmark addressing these limitations of current solutions. A core contribution of gMark is its ability to target and control the diversity of properties of both the generated graph instances and the generated query workloads coupled to these instances. A further novelty is the support of recursive regular path queries, a fundamental graph query paradigm. We illustrate the flexibility and practical usability of gMark by showcasing the framework's capabilities in generating high quality graphs and workloads, and its ability to encode user-defined schemas across a variety of application domains.</p> <p>This is joint work with Guillaume Bagan, Angela Bonifati, Radu Ciucanu, Aurélien Lemay, and Nicky Advokaat.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Graph Processing https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/graph_processing_benchmarking_gmark/ AW1.126 George Fletcher PUBLISH 4562@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4562 bug_hunting_lucene bug_hunting_lucene Bug hunting with Apache Lucene en en_US Free Java 2016-01-30 16:50:00 +0100 2016-01-30 17:15:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20160130T165000 20160130T171500 00:25:00:00 Bug hunting with Apache Lucene PUBLIC CONFIRMED Free Java https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/bug_hunting_lucene/ H.1301 (Cornil) Uwe Schindler PUBLISH 4607@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4607 closing closing See you next year! en en_US Perl 2016-01-31 16:55:00 +0100 2016-01-31 17:00:00 +0100 00:05:00:00 20160131T165500 20160131T170000 00:05:00:00 See you next year! <p>Some information (drinks, future talks, etc).</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Perl https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/closing/ H.2214 Claudio Ramirez Wendy G.A. van Dijk PUBLISH 4515@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 4515 hpc_bigdata_closing hpc_bigdata_closing Closing en en_US HPC, Big Data and Data Science 2016-01-31 16:55:00 +0100 2016-01-31 17:00:00 +0100 00:05:00:00 20160131T165500 20160131T170000 00:05:00:00 Closing <p>Closing note of the day.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED HPC, Big Data and Data Science https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/hpc_bigdata_closing/ AW1.126 PUBLISH 3824@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3824 kurento kurento Creating rich WebRTC applications with Kurento Or why you need a media server for the cool WebRTC stuff en en_US Real Time 2016-01-30 16:55:00 +0100 2016-01-30 17:30:00 +0100 00:35:00:00 20160130T165500 20160130T173000 00:35:00:00 Creating rich WebRTC applications with Kurento- Or why you need a media server for the cool WebRTC stuff <p>WebRTC is a disruptive media technology bringing real-time multimedia communications to HTML5 standards.

After the Nepal Earthquake in 2015, more than 7000 contributors came together using open source tools such as the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's Tasking Manager to make more than 13 million edits to OpenStreetMap in the first two weeks after the earthquake. These tools are also empowering communities and international NGOs such as the American Red Cross and Medicins Sans Frontiers to map vulnerable areas before disasters occur. Using the power of the crowd, over 4000 "Missing Maps" volunteers have now put an area where 7.5 million people live onto OpenStreetMap for the first time.

Earthquake also controls non-determinism of the thread interleaving by calling sched_setattr(2) with randomized parameters.</p> <p>We will also share our successful stories about testing some Hadoop components with Earthquake. For ZooKeeper, we found a distributed race condition bug which decreases availability of a ZooKeeper cluster. We also reproduced a known ZooKeeper bug that no one had successfully reproduced for 2 years, and analyzed its cause. For YARN, we found a disk-fault tolerance bug that inappropriately marks faulty node as healthy. We also found bugs of non-Hadoop softwares, such as etcd.</p> <p>With Earthquake, you can also test your real distibuted systems without any modification.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Testing and Automation https:/fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/nondeterminism_in_hadoop/ UA2.220 (Guillissen) Akihiro Suda PUBLISH 3802@FOSDEM16@pentabarf.org 3802 future_of_eda future_of_eda The future of what we call EDA may not be so bleak Thoughts on where we're headed with EDA and why one future looks good en en_US EDA 2016-01-30 17:30:00 +0100 2016-01-30 18:00:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20160130T173000 20160130T180000 00:30:00:00 The future of what we call EDA may not be so bleak- Thoughts on where we're headed with EDA and why one future looks good <p>Many EDA tools are burdened by their own legacy.
