photo taken by Adrian Cockcroft A year ago I did a talk at re:Invent called Architecture Trends and Topics for 2021 , so I thought it was worth seeing how they played out and updating them for the coming year. I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures.

abstract capabilities are constructed only through legitimate provenance chains of operations, successively reducing permissions from initial maximally permissive capabilities provided at machine reset. Capability integrity prevents direct in-memory manipulation of architectural capability encodings.

I don’t need more bandwidth for video conferences or movies, but I would like to be able to download operating system updates and other large items in seconds rather than minutes. But that’s also a problem that 5G vendors could solve; virtual LANs ( VLANs ) are hardly a new concept. That’s the real promise of 5G.

This blog post gives a glimpse of the computer systems research papers presented at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (ATC) 2019, with an emphasis on systems that use new hardware architectures. USENIX ATC is a top-tier venue with a broad range of systems research papers from both industry and academia.

” Distracted in a conference grand ballroom, above what might be the largest mall in the world or at least Bangkok, a blank QEMU session has me seriously questioning my life choices. A preemptive multitasking operating system is obsessed with keeping track of time; you spend up your time slice and you’re scheduled out.

I had to setup a week of talks by all the relevant product teams, with a hundred or so of the most experienced systems engineers from all over the world as an audience. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. Nothing went wrong, I got to see some events, and got very cold at times.
