  • Copy on Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis and Implementation
    Copy On Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis And Implementation Sakis Kasampalis Kongens Lyngby 2010 IMM-MSC-2010-63 Technical University of Denmark Department Of Informatics Building 321, DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark Phone +45 45253351, Fax +45 45882673 [email protected] www.imm.dtu.dk Abstract In this work I am focusing on Copy On Write based file systems. Copy On Write is used on modern file systems for providing (1) metadata and data consistency using transactional semantics, (2) cheap and instant backups using snapshots and clones. This thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the design and performance of Copy On Write based file systems. Recent efforts aiming at creating a Copy On Write based file system are ZFS, Btrfs, ext3cow, Hammer, and LLFS. My work focuses only on ZFS and Btrfs, since they support the most advanced features. The main goals of ZFS and Btrfs are to offer a scalable, fault tolerant, and easy to administrate file system. I evaluate the performance and scalability of ZFS and Btrfs. The evaluation includes studying their design and testing their performance and scalability against a set of recommended file system benchmarks. Most computers are already based on multi-core and multiple processor architec- tures. Because of that, the need for using concurrent programming models has increased. Transactions can be very helpful for supporting concurrent program- ming models, which ensure that system updates are consistent. Unfortunately, the majority of operating systems and file systems either do not support trans- actions at all, or they simply do not expose them to the users.

  • How to Convert Desktop Apps to Universal Windows Platform Apps with Desktop Bridge
    How to convert desktop apps to Universal Windows Platform apps with Desktop Bridge If you're looking to bring your traditional app to the Universal Windows Platform, this guide walks you through the steps to use the DesktopAppConverter to convert your app. On Windows 10, Microsoft is not only adding new features and making the operating system more secure, but it's also investing on making the Windows Store the single place for users to acquire apps. The caveat with the Windows Store is that it doesn't include support for distribution of traditional desktop applications -- you're only able to download Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. However, Microsoft is making some changes, and now thanks to Desktop Bridge, we're slowly starting to see desktop apps and tools available in the Store. What's Desktop Bridge? How does Desktop Bridge works? Things you need before converting an app How to prepare your computer to convert apps How to convert desktop apps into Windows Store apps How to install a converted app on Windows 10 What's Desktop Bridge? It's all part of an initiative called Project Centennial, which now you know as Desktop Bridge. The new approach is essentially a "bridge" that let developers take traditional desktop applications and convert them into Universal Windows Platform (modern) apps. The idea behind Desktop Bridge is that great apps take time and effort, and if they're already working, Microsoft doesn't want you to abandon that code. With Desktop Bridge, you can take your existing desktop application (Win32, WPF, and Windows Forms), make a little modification (if necessary), and bring that great code to the new platform, which can also take advantage of many new features.

    The l3pdffield-choice module Commands to create choice fields LATEX PDF management testphase bundle The LATEX Project∗ Version 0.95i, released 2021-08-28 1 l3pdffield-choice Introduction This is the documentation for choice fields, for general information about form fields check the documentation l3pdffield. Please keep in mind • Not every PDF viewer supports choice field. • The handling can depend on settings in the PDF viewer. In adobe reader for example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance itself • Standards like pdf/A disable features of form fields too (as you typically can’t change the PDF). 2 Choice fields Choice fields are drop down menus or scrollable lists where the user can selectoneor more entries. They can also contain a field where users can insert a free text. The export value and the displayed value can differ. Some values can be preselected. This means that various data will have to be set, and the sorting matters. The module here will assume that the various values are stored in sequences: checkifexportoraltname... Only the first sequence is required. Empty values in the display sequence are possible, then the normal value is used. 2.1 Types Choice fields can be a drop down menu (called Combo), which can contain an editable field. setfieldflags={Combo,Edit} or setfieldflags={Combo} If Edit is set, one can also set DoNotSpellCheck. Or they can be a list. ∗E-mail: [email protected] 1 unsetfieldflags={Combo,Edit,DoNotSpellCheck} For both types it is possible to set or unset MultiSelect and CommitOnSelChange.
