Waaaay back in January, I rolled out my annual predictions. Thanks to our pals at Facebook, a few of them are now pretty much in the bag. I may have to start doing these things monthly, given the pace of our industry. Prediction #5 was that it’d be a big year for Internet M&A. I further singled out Instagram as a company that would likely be bought, and figured there’d be a battle between Twitter, Apple, Facebook, and Google for the prize.

In part 1 of this three-part series on leveraging Big Memory (i.e., a large z/OS LPAR real storage resource) to enhance DB2 workload CPU efficiency, I focused on getting the most out of a DB2 buffer pool configuration without increasing its size (this by adjusting certain threshold settings and redistributing buffers between low-I/O and high-I/O pools).

The cloud has driven down the cost of ownership of IT systems enabling smaller organisations the ability to access services that were previously only available to the global 1000. Can the cloud do the same for digital preservation? Tessella’s head of digital archiving Mark Evans explored these issues at PASIG 2012 which took place in January in Austin TX.

In part one of this three-part entry on leveraging System z memory to reduce CPU consumption for a DB2-accessing application workload, I wrote about getting your DB2 buffer pool configuration house in order by doing things to improve CPU efficiency without increasing the total amount of virtual storage allocated for page caching (e.g., adjusting certain thresholds for work file-dedicated pools, making appropriate use of buffer page-fixing, choosing the right buffer-steal algorithm for a pool, an

Speaker: Ben Epstein, Stealth Founder & CTO | Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO, Aggregage
When tasked with building a fundamentally new product line with deeper insights than previously achievable for a high-value client, Ben Epstein and his team faced a significant challenge: how to harness LLMs to produce consistent, high-accuracy outputs at scale. In this new session, Ben will share how he and his team engineered a system (based on proven software engineering approaches) that employs reproducible test variations (via temperature 0 and fixed seeds), and enables non-LLM evaluation m

Great piece by Euan Cochrane on his blog ( [link] ). We have just finished working on the KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable) project. However, you are correct to say that most efforts have been focussed on migration: and we have a number of migration (and characterisation) tools supported in our Safety Deposit Box (SDB) solution. However, as part of KEEP we did add in an end-to-end emulation workflow to SDB as well.

vsftpd-3.0.0 is released. Aside from the usual few fixes, I'm excited about built-in support for Will Drewry's seccomp filter, which landed in Ubuntu. To give it a whirl, you'll need a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 (beta at time of writing), and a 64-bit build of vsftpd. Why all the excitement? vsftpd has always piled on all of the Linux sandboxing / privilege facilities available, including chroot, capabilities, file descriptor passing, pid / network / etc. namespaces, rlimits, and even a ptrace-based de

Just a quick note that vsftpd-3.0.0 is imminent. The big-ticket item is the new seccomp filter sandboxing support. Please test this, particularly on 64-bit Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 (or newer) or if you use SSL support. I would love to get a quick note (e-mail or comment here) even if just to say it seems to work in your configuration.

I also spoke to a lobbyist from the Internet industry, as well as people from various “think tanks” that populate the city.
