Parallel Programming with Microsoft .NET

ISV Team — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 05:26:47 GMT

Очередной том в серии Microsoft Patterns & Practices посвящен вопросам параллельных вычислений на платформе Microsoft .NET. Подзаголовок этого издания - Design Patterns for Decomposition and Coordination on Multicore Architectures, т.е. паттерны дизайна для декомпозиции и координации на многоядерных платформах – может прозвучать слишком научно, но на самом деле, книга написана с расчетом на практикующих программистов, желающих максимально использовать в своих приложениях вычислительные возможности современных процессоров. Весной этого года, в ходе семинаров, посвященных новым возможностям Windows Server 2008 R2 и Visual Studio 2010 мы познакомились с основами создания приложений с параллельными вычислениями как на неуправляемом, так и на управляемом коде. Данное пособие поможет в дальнейшем освоении этой темы.

Книга посвящена паттернам дизайна приложений, которые могут помочь разработчикам в использовании библиотеки .NET 4 Task Parallel Library (TPL) для создания приложений с параллельными вычислениями. Отдельные главы рассматривают создание параллельных циклов, параллельное выполнение задач, агрегации и ряда других типовых для параллельных вычислений задач. Всего в книге рассматривается шесть ключевых паттернов параллельных вычислений для обеспечения параллелизма задач и данных и приводятся примеры реализации этих паттернов с помощью библиотеки TPL.

В приложение вынесены темы, связанные с применением объектно-ориентированных паттернов при дизайне и написании приложений, описание средств отладки и профилирования параллельных приложений, а также технологический обзор платформы Microsoft.

Coming Soon: System Center Service Manager Resource Kit

Travis Wright — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 04:22:52 GMT

Well – this is about the 225th post on the SCSM Engineering Team Blog! The blog has become one of the most read System Center blogs on TechNet. Thanks for supporting us!

We have seen a lot of different solutions and tools here on the blog. We have some exciting new ones coming too! There are getting to be enough different solutions and tools now (especially with the new stuff that is coming) that we think it’s about time to release an official SCSM Resource Kit with all the goodies in one easy to download bundle.

I’m going to be putting this together over the next couple of weeks. Here’s what I am planning to include:

Bulk Enumeration Value Creator Spreadsheet
Ramp up materials – twelve one hour+ recorded Live Meeting sessions with the Program Managers covering a wide range of topics
Architecture Visio diagram
FastSeal.exe
Database queries
Service Manager Visio stencil shapes
Various solution management packs for things like sending notifications to reviewers, hiding the extensions tab, etc.
CSV Connector
Basic Service Requests
SLA Management
Code samples like how to work with enumerations, type projections, creating and updating objects like incidents, etc.

And some very exciting NEW things!:

Exchange connector: Process emails sent to an email inbox on an Exchange server. Convert new emails to new incidents and update incidents for replies to an email address.
Send message to a user related to the incident from the console. Message can be optionally logged in the action log.
Visio diagram of the entire SCSM data model including classes, properties, and relationships.

More on those new things when we release the resource kit.

What else do you want to see? Tell us in the comments below!

Update: Just to set expectations early – the resource kit is a set of tools, examples, and solutions which are not a part of the SCSM product itself. They are community tested by customers and partners prior to release, but are not going to be officially supported by Microsoft Support. You can always report issues with them and we’ll try to fix the worst problems with them, but there’s no guarantees until these kinds of things have undergone more thorough testing and are included in the product itself.

Gov 2.0: Reflections on Spectrum Allocation Policy

msissues — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:50:06 GMT

Posted by Dan Reed
Corporate Vice President, Technology Strategy and Policy

A few weeks ago, Tim O’Reilly asked me if I would deliver a thought-provoking presentation on cognitive radio technologies and spectrum allocation policy at this year’s Gov 2.0 Summit. In this post, I’d like to share a few highlights of my speech and expand on some related topics.

Today, feature-rich smartphones and mobile computing devices and consumers’ seemingly insatiable appetites for text services, social networking and streaming media are placing unprecedented demands on wireless communication networks. YouTube reports that 24 hours of video is now uploaded to the social video site every 60 seconds, and Cisco projects that streaming video will increase wireless data transmission demands by 20X-40X over the next five years. If you have ever experienced a loss of wireless services in a densely populated area, you understand the problem we’re facing.

In response, cellular carriers are scrambling to build new cell towers and deploy 4G technologies. However, all of this cellular infrastructure investment centers on a very small fraction of the total radio spectrum, allocated via regulatory and auction processes that date back decades to a far simpler and slower moving telecommunications world.

This historical approach partitions the radio spectrum and allocates frequency bands to different purposes—government, public safety, national defense, television, radio, cellular, and unlicensed consumer. Fixed partitioning was appropriate when radio technology changed slowly and consumer expectations were defined by plain old telephone service (POTS). However, it has led to inefficient spectrum use, with some bands heavily subscribed and others rarely used.

In a seeming paradox, most of the potentially useful communication spectrum is unused or underutilized in most places because most of the time as it is allocated to functions rarely needed at any specific location. Anyone with a spectrum analyzer can verify the truth of this statement at their location. To be sure, some of these functions (e.g., public safety) are critically important, and the spectrum must be available when the critical demand exists.

However, there is a common ground that would allow our finite spectrum to be used for critical purposes while also making it available for secondary purposes when not otherwise needed for the primary purpose. Using new technologies based on cognitive radios, which select unused spectrum in a specific location based on database lookup, we can shift spectrum allocation decisions based on fixed partitions to real-time allocation based on priorities, principles and availability. These cognitive radio technologies rely on software for functions that formerly required dedicated hardware, an approach made possible by powerful, yet inexpensive mobile devices.

Because cognitive radios can co-exist with other devices and adapt to changing circumstances as needed, they can reduce contention within fixed spectrum bands while respecting the relative priorities of the primary and secondary usages. Equally importantly, cognitive radio technology can be effective with both licensed and unlicensed spectrum, allowing greater efficiency and flexibility. Moreover, the rules can be changed simply by updating the spectrum policy database.

More broadly, cognitive radio is one of the enabling technologies for a new generation of rich services based on the Internet of Things. Imagine adaptive traffic routing for hybrid and electric vehicles based on traffic sensors, vehicle charge monitoring and driver calendar schedules. Or imagine in-home wellness monitoring for an aging population based on biomedical and environmental sensors, profile and mobility assessment and electronically mediated health care interactions. Both of these scenarios and a host of others are dependent on anywhere, anytime communication among an ever expanding universe of intelligent devices and rich cloud services.

How do we move forward quickly, while respecting the processes and history that brought us to our current position? White spaces are an important first step.

Spectrum in the television “white spaces” is one of the dividends from the US transition to digital television and a place where we can quickly use cognitive radio and dynamic adaptation for broad benefit. Devices using white spaces radios can detect and select unused frequencies and co-exist with broadcast television services. White spaces technology could free new unlicensed radio frequencies for consumers in every community and generate investment in innovation, much as we observed with Wi-Fi.

Later this month, the FCC is considering regulation that will make white spaces more broadly available. The consideration of new technologies in our regulatory environment is an important step in establishing a broad spectrum policy framework that enables innovation, rewards experimentation and ultimately drives value.

I believe we must adapt our policy and regulatory frameworks to enable deployment of cognitive communication technologies that span licensed and unlicensed spectrum. This dynamic approach would create opportunities to more efficiently manage congestion and offload capacity onto other spectrum bands to deliver higher quality, more robust services for government, business and consumer use.

Both technology and policy will be needed to realize this vision of everywhere, anytime communication. We can do this, working together.

Wer den Berndt Schwarzinger Artikel nicht gelesen hat - um was geht’s da (aus meiner Sicht): Einerseits um ein Upgrade, was betriebswirtschaftfliche Inhalte betrifft und zwar speziell aufbereitet für IT-Unternehmer. Und für manche stellt vieles wahrscheinlich auch “Neuland” was die Themengebiete Strategische Unternehmensführung, Kennzahlenanalyse, Personalführung etc. betrifft.

Was kostet es: Geld! Und Zeit. Vier Blöcke im Herbst (meist Freitag und Samstag)! Also das Investment ist erheblich.

Was bringt es: Neue Erkenntnisse im Führen von Unternehmungen, im Führen von Menschen, anwendbares Wissen von in der Wirtschaft durchaus angesehenen “Kapazundern”, wie z.B. Prof. Ennsfellner (FH Krems) um nur mal eine Persönlichkeit hervorzuheben.

Darüber hinaus Kontakte zu anderen Teilnehmern aus der IT-Branche, die durchaus auch “etwas weiterbringen wollen”. Ich habe schon oft in Gesprächen mit Microsoft Partnern Dinge gehört wie z.B. “… dieses Projekt mache ich mit dem Paul Scholda von der ehouse, den hab’ ich auf der CEO-Academy kennen gelernt…”.

Möchte bei der Gelegenheit vielleicht noch erwähnen: Ich habe (vor Urzeiten) auch mal meine WU gemacht. Dennoch (oder vielleicht gerade deswegen ;) ?) gehe ich auch auf die CEO-Adacemy. Lange Rede – kurzer Sinn: Würde also meinen, dass zumindest mal die Teilnahme am entsprechenden Infoabend lohnt. Ich werde – wie geschrieben – auch da sein.

Und den 14.09. gleich mal in’s Outlook eintragen – da haben wir den erwähnten kostenlosen Info-Abend dazu in der Microsoft Österreich: 19:00 – 21:00

Cu there!

Opalis Operator Console as a Windows Service - UPDATE

Charles.Joy — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:43:34 GMT

A while back I posted a video and some instructions on how to set up your Opalis Operator Console as a Windows Service. It was extremely popular and got a lot of people moving in the right direction for Operator Console usage with Opalis.

Right after the post came out, there was a comment posted on the YouTube video stating that “Local System” was not a valid “Log On As” Account for this Service, once it was created.

As “Local Service” worked in my install (and in the video), I took it as a quirk with the setup, but recently I have found that an actual user account may be required for this service to operate properly (especially in 2008).

With the upcoming release of Opalis 6.3 and the support of 2008, I wanted to post this update explaining that the Service, once installed, should be set to have a “Log On As” Account set to a User Account.

Examples:

MYDOMAIN\Administrator
MYDOMAIN\opalis_svc
.\Administrator
.\opalis_svc

The following image is how one of my Demo System’s Opalis Operator Console Service is configured:

enJOY!
