Bristech Talk - Resource Oriented Computing with NetKernel

Published on September 13, 2018

Last week I did a talk at Bristech. I somehow managed to miss showing my final slide - Further Reading - so few people asked about the slides. Here they are!

Thank you to everyone who came along.

A Brief History of NetKernel

- on extracting release data over nine year period

I’ve just finished working on exposing a complete change history for NetKernel for the period from the release of NetKernel 4.0, nine years ago. Previously our mechanism for publicly exposing this information has been solely through the, once weekly, newsletters. However that medium is unstructured which meant it was hard to get an overview of changes and check for specific releases for any particular package. Since the release of NetKernel 4, we introduced a repository approach to releasing updates to NetKernel.

External Request Profiler

We’ve been working recently with a client, on a solution, revolving around crunching large volumes of data. The scale of data meant that even on a large cluster the computation takes many hours. The usual mode of operation for these compute jobs is to set them off in the evening, and return the next working day to see the results. I was working with them to capture some engineering figures and statistics to assess the performance and opportunities to optimise or re-design.
