I'm interested in building a simple in-memory time series database, but I'm not really sure what the state of the art is here. I'm looking at having some basic aggregates over my series - sum's, min/max, mean, etc. I'm also interested in having different retention periods and granularity. Does anyon...
The Influence of Organizational Structure On Software Quality: An Empirical Case Study
(research.microsoft.com)
Spending so much time of my career on the UI and API layers, I'm hoping to learn more about backend and server architectures in terms of case studies that took place over time. What do you have fellow Crustaceans?
It is my first article on lobste.rs, I hope you will enjoy my contribution. Do not hesitate to comment and help to improve it.
Abstract: "In-memory tree structured index search is a fundamental database operation. Modern processors provide tremendous computing power by integrating multiple cores, each with wide vector units. There has been much work to exploit modern processor architectures for
database primitives like sca...
Abstract: "Bloom filters are a great technique to test whether a key is not in a set of keys. This paper presents a novel data structure called ARF. In a nutshell, ARFs are for range queries what Bloom filters are for point queries. That is, an ARF can determine whether a set of keys does not contai...
Trimmed abstract: "This case study analyzes the application of the [Cleanroom methdology](http://infohost.nmt.edu/~al/cseet-paper.html) to the development of production software at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The Cleanroom methodology emphasizes human discipline in program verification to ...
Abstract: "Functional programming is losing its place in undergraduate computer science curricula, in part because of the attention given to many new ideas in the field. Nevertheless, undergraduates benefit from an early experience in a second programming paradigm, especially functional programming....
Using programmable network switches to accelerate OLAP queries in MPP databases! Results show 2x faster responses using a 25Gbps network.
Abstract: "State-based transition systems can take advantage of a symbolic
representation of the concepts of state and transition in order to automatically solve verification questions that could not be otherwise
tackled in terms of explicit representation of the transition system.
