[Links of the Day] 11/11/2016 : Anonymous Trustless Bitcoin, Zap golang log lib, Intel RSA controller

• ZeroCash : Trustless Bitcoin Tumbling, the authors proposed a pooled approach to anonymise transaction in Bitcoin. However the authors go a step further than just pooling. They popose a system where participant can anonymously check in and out resources from a global pool. Effectively creating an anonymous cooperative resource sharing infrastructure. [github] [Paper]
• Zap : Fast, structured, leveled logging in Go. When you start to reach Uber or other hyperscale microservice architecture. Every aspect counts, and logs are everywhere. This library provide a high performance structure log for go. 
• Scalable software controller : This controller basically allow to allocate on the fly hardware ressource, compute, memory storage, network based ont the demand of the deployment tool (openstack, k8, mesos, etc..) . 

Links of the day 18/12/2015 : #openstack LMA , Quantum computing #cloud and Google goes #SDN

• Purpose-built Global Network : How google moved to SDN and its implications.
• Qcware : quantum computing cloud 
• Logging, Monitoring, Alerting : openstack LMA stack . What i am not sure about is the scalability of the approach. 

Links of the day 09/12/2015 : Intel telemetry framework, log search system and DIGITAL!

• Snap : Telemetry framework by Intel. While this is yet another monitoring system it is a little bit different from what is out there. It offer a full secure clustering solution design to be not only scalable but also has a integrated flexible life-cycle management of its component. This might looks like a great framework for future telemetry systems and I can see it being adopted very quickly across the industry.
• Designing a search system for log data : 3 part post on how to design from the ground a system for analyzing  logs at large scale.
• Digital : because digital!

Links of the day 13 - 02 - 2015

Today's links 13/02/2015: Scalable and resilience web site, CAP theorem, automated log analyzer and Exascale HPC challenges

• Scalable and Resilient website : lessons learned from all the biggest sites on the internet about how to build scalable and resilient architectures. 
• Perspectives on the CAP theorem : paper summary that show the CAP theorem in the broader context of a family of results in distributed computing theory that shows impossibility of guaranteeing both safety and liveness in an unreliable distributed system.
• Sequence: Automated Analyzer for Reducing 100,000's of Log Messages to 10's of Patterns
• Algorithmic and Software Challenges atExtreme Scales : presentation by Jack Dongarra  , quite redundant as the same theme are pretty common to all HPC exascale challenge : matrix operations optimizations, power, resilience, scalability, etc..

IBM Photonic 3D chip

Links of the day 07 - 10 - 2014

Today's links 07/10/2014: #bigdata , RDMA, InMemory everything, Log,  #Openstack Storage , unreliable network coding

• ADMS 2014 : Workshop on Accelerating Data Management Systems Using Modern Processor and Storage Architectures
• Accelerating Data Management and Processing on Modern Clusters with RDMA-Enabled Interconnects : how to leverage RDMA for current and next gen data processing cluster. 
• Oracle's In-Memory Data Management Strategy: In-Memory in all Tiers, and for all Workloads : Big push to move to an all memory approach from Oracle. Not sure that all the piece of the puzzle is already in place to support such vision.
• I heart Log : very nice and well written short books on log ( not just system log )
• Network Coding in unreliable environment [Paper 1] and [paper 2] from MIT
• Evaluation of Openstack storage options : Good overview of the state of Openstack storage. Give a good idea of the trade off in term of performance, complexity, cost , etc..
