Ma⁴be ⁴ou learned it using some tutorials, delved into some existing programs, or started from scratch, but whatever the case, ⁴ou’ve hacked ⁴our wa⁴ into learning it. That’s exactl⁴ how I got familiar with P⁴thon up until I joined the OpenStack team over two ⁴ears ago. Before then, I was building m⁴ own P⁴thon libraries and applications on a "garage project" scale, but things change once ⁴ou start working with hundreds of devel- opers on sotware and libraries that thousands of users rel⁴ on. The OpenStack platform represents over half a million lines of P⁴thon code, all of which needs to be concise, efficient, and scalable to needs of whatever cloud computing applica- tion its users require. And when ⁴ou have a project this si⁵e, things like testing and documentation absolutel⁴ require automation, or else the⁴ won’t get done at all. I thought I knew a lot about P⁴thon when I first joined OpenStack, but I’ve learned a lot more these past two ⁴ears working on projects the scale of which I could barel⁴ even imagine when I got started. I’ve also had the opportunit⁴ to meet some of the best P⁴thon hackers in the industr⁴ and learn from them – ever⁴thing from general architecture and design principles to various helpful tips and tricks. Through this book, I hope to share the most important things I’ve learned so that ⁴ou can build better P⁴thon programs – and build them more efficientl⁴, too! Starting your project 1.1 Python versions One of the first questions ⁴ou’re likel⁴ to ask is "which versions of P⁴thon should m⁴ sotware support?". It’s well worth asking, since each new version of P⁴thon introduces new features

Nuremberg, 4 June 2019 License This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0), see https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Nuremberg, 4 June 2019 i Abstract Modern code review is typically supported by software tools. Researchers use data tracked by these tools to study code review practices. A popular tool in open-source and closed-source projects is Phabricator. However, there is no tool to crawl all the available code review data from Phabricator hosts. In this thesis, we develop a Python crawler named Phabry, for crawling code review data from Phabricator instances using its REST API. The tool produces minimal server and client load, reproducible crawling runs, and stores complete and genuine review data. The new tool is used to crawl the Phabricator instances of the open source projects FreeBSD, KDE and LLVM. The resulting data sets can be used by researchers.

  • Artificial Intelligence for Understanding Large and Complex
    Artificial Intelligence for Understanding Large and Complex Datacenters by Pengfei Zheng Department of Computer Science Duke University Date: Approved: Benjamin C. Lee, Advisor Bruce M. Maggs Jeffrey S. Chase Jun Yang Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2020 Abstract Artificial Intelligence for Understanding Large and Complex Datacenters by Pengfei Zheng Department of Computer Science Duke University Date: Approved: Benjamin C. Lee, Advisor Bruce M. Maggs Jeffrey S. Chase Jun Yang An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2020 Copyright © 2020 by Pengfei Zheng All rights reserved except the rights granted by the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial Licence Abstract As the democratization of global-scale web applications and cloud computing, under- standing the performance of a live production datacenter becomes a prerequisite for making strategic decisions related to datacenter design and optimization. Advances in monitoring, tracing, and profiling large, complex systems provide rich datasets and establish a rigorous foundation for performance understanding and reasoning. But the sheer volume and complexity of collected data challenges existing techniques, which rely heavily on human intervention, expert knowledge, and simple statistics. In this dissertation, we address this challenge using artificial intelligence and make the case for two important problems, datacenter performance diagnosis and datacenter workload characterization. The first thrust of this dissertation is the use of statistical causal inference and Bayesian probabilistic model for datacenter straggler diagnosis.

The standard attempts to provide a language indepen- dent and platform specific mechanisms to better allow content manage- ment systems (CM systems) work together. There is currently no PHP implementation of CMIS server framework available, at least not widely. The name given to the library is Elaphus CMIS. The implementation should remove a barrier for making PHP CM sys- tems CMIS compliant.

  • Elmulating Javascript
    Linköping University | Department of Computer science Master thesis | Computer science Spring term 2016-07-01 | LIU-IDA/LITH-EX-A—16/042--SE Elmulating JavaScript Nils Eriksson & Christofer Ärleryd Tutor, Anders Fröberg Examinator, Erik Berglund Linköpings universitet SE–581 83 Linköping +46 13 28 10 00 , www.liu.se Abstract Functional programming has long been used in academia, but has historically seen little light in industry, where imperative programming languages have been dominating. This is quickly changing in web development, where the functional paradigm is increas- ingly being adopted. While programming languages on other platforms than the web are constantly compet- ing, in a sort of survival of the fittest environment, on the web the platform is determined by the browsers which today only support JavaScript. JavaScript which was made in 10 days is not well suited for building large applications. A popular approach to cope with this is to write the application in another language and then compile the code to JavaScript. Today this is possible to do in a number of established languages such as Java, Clojure, Ruby etc. but also a number of special purpose language has been created. These are lan- guages that are made for building front-end web applications. One such language is Elm which embraces the principles of functional programming. In many real life situation Elm might not be possible to use, so in this report we are going to look at how to bring the benefits seen in Elm to JavaScript. Acknowledgments We would like to thank Jörgen Svensson for the amazing support thru this journey.

  • The Compassion Project
    The Compassion Project Mitchell Black, Kyle Melton, and Amelia Getty 25 April 2019 Abstract The Compassion Project is a public, collaborative art installation sourced from approximately 6,500 artists around Bozeman. Each participating artist painted an 8”x8” wooden block with their own interpretation of compassion. To accompany their art, each artist wrote an artist statement defining compassion or explaining how their block relates to compassion. We created a mobile app as a companion to the installation. The primary usage of this app is to allow visitors to lookup the artist statement on their phone from the unique ID number assigned to each block. Additional app functionality includes favoriting pictures, personal user viewing history, and usage statistics. We also performed a comparative analysis of image descriptors for the blocks. We were interested in the idea using an picture to search for that block artist’s statement. We have images of each block to be used as a thumbnail when users look up a block. To evaluate which image descriptors are most effective at grouping the blocks, we took secondary photos of a subset of the blocks and tested whether the descriptors can pair the thumbnail of a block to our photo of a block. 1 Qualifications See attached resumes. 2 Bozeman, MT 59718 ⋄ 406-580-3154⋄ [email protected] ⋄ linkedin.com/in/ameliagetty Amelia Getty ​ ​ Computer Science senior with diverse experience poised to transition to software development or engineering.
