[Links of the Day] 27/02/2020 : Finance Datasets, OS build using WASM and IPFS, Team Wiki

  • Quandl : financial, economic, and alternative datasets for financial professionals. A treasure trove of information, sadly not all free.
  • RedShirt : Operating system build using WASM that you can run off straight from IPFS ... Next thing you know we will have a blockchain-based package management system for an end to end trustworthy OS... Well as long as you have access to the internet.
  • Outline : wiki and knowledgebase for growing teams using the markdown language. You can run it straight of docker.

[Links of the Day] 18/09/2018 : Data transfer project, Observability pipeline, and Operating systems Book

  • Data Transfer Project : open-source, service-to-service data portability platform. Not really sure who would want to transfer data between facebook - google and Microsoft from a privacy point of view... But there is probably a use case. 
  • Veneur : distributed, fault-tolerant pipeline for observability data. This is a really cool project that allows to for aggregate metrics and sends them to downstream storage to one or more supported sinks. It can also act as a global aggregator for histograms, sets and counters. The key advantage of this approach is that you only maintain, store ( and pay for ) the aggregated data rather than the tons of separate data points. 
  • Operating Systems - Three Easy Pieces : free operating system book centred around three conceptual pieces that are fundamental to operating systems: virtualization, concurrency, and persistence

[Links of the Day] 18/11/2016 : Extreme Scale OS, GPU Stream Benchmark, Neural Net that produce neural net

  • Neural Architecture Search with Reinforcement Learning : Neural net that produce neural net. Cool thing is that the authors are able to beat human generated model for text processing and deliver equivalent performance for image processing model. Who needs human anymore.... 
  • Extreme-Scale Operating Systems : multi-OS research project at Intel aiming to be the node OS for HPC machine. Intel is trying to deliver a polymorphic OS that can quickly adapt to new software and hardware without the need for specialized solution like it exist commonly on high end HPC systems. To some extend it looks like the Jailhouse system. Where the HW is physically partitioned. A few core are dedicated for management, while the rest are partitioned and are running lightweight kernel (LWK) + application. Note that I really resent Intel for always trying to rename things that are commonly used. LWK are Unikernel dammit.. Anyway its jailhouse + unikernel for HPC. 
  • GPU-STREAM : Stream benchmark for GPU, much needed benchmark to understand and quantify memory transfer rate to from global memory device on GPUs.

Links of the day 29/12/2015: Datavisualization, OS dev book and ICPE15 conf

  • Datavisualization.ch : Awesome collection of tools that the people behind Datavisualization.ch, work with on a daily basis and recommend warmly. This is not a list of everything out there, but instead a thoughtfully curated selection of our favorite tools that will make your life easier creating meaningful and beautiful data visualizations. Highly recommended!
  • The little book about OS development : ever wanted to make your own OS ? well this book will help you get kick started. And even if you don't want to build your own. This book will give you great insight on the nitty gritty detail of what make your OS tick ( and crash... )
  • ICPE 2015 : Technical Program and Conference Schedule, a year old but some nice paper and a lot of slide deck are available on the page. Checkout System-Level Characterization of Datacenter Applications paper or Adrian Cockroft presentation on cloud native optimization.
