Instead of getting faster, FreeBSD was slower. If I had bothered digging deeper, I would have learned that this was the result of far-reaching changes in the FreeBSD kernel. Michael W. Lucas ex- plains these changes in his article, which in turn is based on a talk given by Robert Watson about modify- ing the kernel to support SMP (symmetric multipro- cessing). And perhaps by the time you read this col- umn, FreeBSD 6 will have appeared, ready to utilize the new multiprocessor cores that are popping up. Lucas explains just why the transition from single- threaded to multi-threaded kernel takes so long and is so hard to do right. I first understood the importance of the Big Giant Lock when I was reviewing an early multiprocessing server that used SPARC processors. I ran a simple benchmark that spawned additional processes, each of which ran an integer-intensive pro- gram. I tried my benchmark with one processor, then two, three, and, finally, four processors enabled, and the results astounded me (at the time). Adding pro- cessors does not in itself linearly improve perfor- mance. Enabling the fourth processor barely added a 15% improvement to the results. The Big Giant Lock ensures that only one process (or interrupt handler) can run in kernel space at a time, which devastates performance. The HotOS workshop (see the summaries in this issue) brought different surprises. I enjoyed the work- shop immensely, as much for the free time spent with attendees as for the talks. The lunchtime discussions have sparked one article already, in which Marc Fiuc- zynski makes a fervent plea for better methods for patching Linux kernels. You will also find a discussion of the Linux Kernel Developers Summit by Jonathan Corbet. Corbet, who has been summarizing the summits for years, has pro- vided a short overview for ;login: readers. And Peter Galvin explains Solaris 10 containers. Note that Sun bit the SMP revision bullet years ago, making it a 2 ;LO GIN: V OL. 30, NO. 5 leader in SMP OSes today. The concept of containers adds a powerful twist to Solaris, a useful VM architecture unlike others you may know about. On the security front, David Malone discusses security features of FreeBSD. As I read this, I found myself wishing that some of these appeared in Linux as well. But BSD-envy is nothing new. Srikanth Kandula explains Kill-Bots, based on a paper he presented at NSDI (see the summaries in the August issue of ;login:). You might note that instead of my usual musings, I have acted much more like an editor this time around. I apologize, but this issue is so packed with sum- maries and articles, I really didn’t have the space for me. You can expect that my column will appear much as it has in the past in the December issue of ;login:, with its focus on security.

  • Speeding up Correlation Search for Binary Data
    Speeding up Correlation Search for Binary Data Lian Duan and W. Nick Street [email protected] Management Sciences Department The University of Iowa Abstract Finding the most interesting correlations in a collection of items is essential for problems in many commercial, medical, and scientific domains. Much previous re- search focuses on finding correlated pairs instead of correlated itemsets in which all items are correlated with each other. Though some existing methods find correlated itemsets of any size, they suffer from both efficiency and effectiveness problems in large datasets. In our previous paper [10], we propose a fully-correlated itemset (FCI) framework to decouple the correlation measure from the need for efficient search. By wrapping the desired measure in our FCI framework, we take advantage of the desired measure’s superiority in evaluating itemsets, eliminate itemsets with irrelevant items, and achieve good computational performance. However, FCIs must start pruning from 2-itemsets unlike frequent itemsets which can start the pruning from 1-itemsets. When the number of items in a given dataset is large and the support of all the pairs cannot be loaded into the memory, the IO cost O(n2) for calculating correlation of all the pairs is very high. In addition, users usually need to try different correlation thresholds and the cost of processing the Apriori procedure each time for a different threshold is very high. Consequently, we propose two techniques to solve the efficiency problem in this paper. With respect to correlated pair search, we identify a 1-dimensional monotone prop- erty of the upper bound of any good correlation measure, and different 2-dimensional monotone properties for different types of correlation measures.

NARRATIVE CHANGE IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING: AUDIENCE ADDRESS AND CREATIVE AUTHORITY IN THE ERA OF SMART FANS by CHRISTIAN NORMAN Under the Direction of Nathan Atkinson, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation project provides a methodological contribution to the field of critical rhetoric by positioning narrative theory as a powerful yet underutilized tool for examining the power dynamic between producer and consumer in a participatory media context. Drawing on theories of author and audience from rhetorical narratology, this study shows how producers of media texts provide rhetorical cues to audiences that allow them to reassert their power in the form of creative authority vis-à-vis consumers. The genre of professional wrestling serves as an ideal text for examining such power dynamics, as WWE has adapted to changing fan participatory behaviors throughout its sixty-year history. Focusing on pivotal moments in which WWE altered its narrative address to its audience in order to reassert its control over the production process, this study demonstrates the utility of narrative theory for understanding how creative authority shows power at work in media texts.
