| SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
java.lang.Object org.apache.oro.text.regex.PatternMatcherInput
The PatternMatcherInput class is used to preserve state across
calls to the contains()
methods of PatternMatcher instances.
It is also used to specify that only a subregion of a string
should be used as input when looking for a pattern match. All that
is meant by preserving state is that the end offset of the last match
is remembered, so that the next match is performed from that point
where the last match left off. This offset can be accessed from
the getCurrentOffset()
method and can be set with the
setCurrentOffset(int)
method.
You would use a PatternMatcherInput object when you want to search for more than just the first occurrence of a pattern in a string, or when you only want to search a subregion of the string for a match. An example of its most common use is:
PatternMatcher matcher; PatternCompiler compiler; Pattern pattern; PatternMatcherInput input; MatchResult result; compiler = new Perl5Compiler(); matcher = new Perl5Matcher(); try { pattern = compiler.compile(somePatternString); } catch(MalformedPatternException e) { System.out.println("Bad pattern."); System.out.println(e.getMessage()); return; } input = new PatternMatcherInput(someStringInput); while(matcher.contains(input, pattern)) { result = matcher.getMatch(); // Perform whatever processing on the result you want. } // Suppose we want to start searching from the beginning again with // a different pattern. // Just set the current offset to the begin offset. input.setCurrentOffset(input.getBeginOffset()); // Second search omitted // Suppose we're done with this input, but want to search another string. // There's no need to create another PatternMatcherInput instance. // We can just use the setInput() method. input.setInput(aNewInputString);

As a note, the preMatch(), postMatch(), and match() methods are provided as conveniences because PatternMatcherInput must store match offset information to completely preserve state for consecutive PatternMatcher contains() matches.

Resources are required by your nation in order to build new units, maintain your current military, and research new technologies.
They can be gained by capturing resources on the map, traded with other players, or bought and sold on the 'open market'.
Resources can appear in land or water, and can be captured by sending a ground or sea unit to the resource's location to capture it.
Cities and motorized units consume oil. Cities consume oil in proportion to their size (0.1 oil per unit of population). All units, except infantry, consume oil when they move. An oil shortage slows city production and limits unit movement.
The creation of new units consumes iron. An iron shortage slows or stops new unit production.
Cities and units consume food. A food shortage causes starvation in your cities, causing permanent population loss. Cities consume Food in proportion to their size (0.1 Food per unit of population).
Gold is converted into money. Money is used to research new technologies and upgrade units.

I just made a new avatar, but I only used Photoshop to shave off the grey background to save it as a png with transparent background. A quick post to show you how ...
a. BB to be transparent => opacity: .7;
b. tweak a bit the positioning => position: relative; top: 0px; right: 15px;
Usually this goes as quick with Photoshop but I wanted to use the Limelight Google font (font of the headers on this blog) and I was too lazy to import it into Photoshop.
I think the conclusion is: CSS(3) is very versatile to quickly apply styles to your designs. It's one of the easiest languages to learn, and I use it for mockups often (much more than Photoshop) due to its flexibility

mbadblocks(1) mbadblocks(1) Name mbadblocks - tests a floppy disk, and marks the bad blocks in the FAT Note of warning This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu‐ mentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the end of this man page for details. Description The mbadblocks command is used to mark some clusters on an MS-DOS filesystem bad. It has the following syntax: mbadblocks [-s sectorlist|-c clusterlist|-w] drive: If no command line flags are supplied, Mbadblocks scans an MS-DOS filesystem for bad blocks by simply trying to read them and flag them if read fails. All blocks that are unused are scanned, and if detected bad are marked as such in the FAT. This command is intended to be used right after mformat. It is not intended to salvage data from bad disks. Command line options c file Use a list of bad clusters, rather than scanning for bad clusters itself. s file Use a list of bad sectors (counted from beginning of filesystem), rather than trying for bad clusters itself. w Write a random pattern to each cluster, then read it back and flag cluster as bad if mismatch. Only free clusters are tested in such a way, so any file data is preserved. Bugs Mbadblocks should (but doesn't yet :-( ) also try to salvage bad blocks which are in use by reading them repeatedly, and then mark them bad. See Also Mtools' texinfo doc Viewing the texi doc This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu‐ mentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this transla‐ tion process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc. * To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the follow‐ ing commands: ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi * To generate a html copy, run: ./configure; make html A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man‐ ual/mtools.html' * To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run: ./configure; make info The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the quot‐ ing conventions used in info. mtools-4.0.17 29Jun11 mbadblocks(1)

Category 1 near Miami, FL, then as a strong Category 3 along the eastern
LA-western MS coastlines, resulting in severe storm surge damage
(maximum surge probably exceeded 30 feet) along the LA-MS-AL coasts,
wind damage, and the failure of parts of the levee system in New
Orleans. Inland effects included high winds and some flooding in the
states of AL, MS, FL, TN, KY, IN, OH, and GA. |
161300000000 |
| Hurricane Harvey |
25AUG2017 |
Category 4 hurricane made landfall near Rockport, Texas
causing widespread damage. Harvey's devastation was most pronounced due
to the large region of extreme rainfall producing historic flooding
across Houston and surrounding areas. More than 30 inches of rainfall
fell on 6.9 million people, while 1.25 million experienced over 45
inches and 11,000 had over 50 inches, based on 7-day rainfall totals
ending August 31. This historic U.S. rainfall caused massive flooding
that displaced over 30,000 people and damaged or destroyed over 200,000
homes and businesses. |
125000000000 |
| Hurricane Maria |
19SEP2017 |
Category 4 hurricane made landfall in southeast Puerto
Rico after striking the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix. Maria's high
winds caused widespread devastation to Puerto Rico's transportation,
agriculture, communication and energy infrastructure. Extreme rainfall
up to 37 inches caused widespread flooding and mudslides across the
island. The interruption to commerce and standard living conditions will
be sustained for a long period, as much of Puerto Rico's infrastructure
is rebuilt. Maria tied Hurricane Wilma (2005) for the most rapid
intensification, strengthening from tropical depression to a category 5
storm in 54 hours. Maria's landfall at Category 4 strength gives the
U.S. a record three Category 4+ landfalls this year (Maria, Harvey, and
Irma). |
90000000000 |
| Hurricane Sandy |
30OCT2012 |
Extensive damage across several northeastern states
(MD, DE, NJ, NY, CT, MA, RI) due to high wind and coastal storm surge,
particularly NY and NJ. Damage from wind, rain and heavy snow also
extended more broadly to other states (NC, VA, WV, OH, PA, NH), as Sandy
merged with a developing Nor'easter. Sandy's impact on major population
centers caused widespread interruption to critical water / electrical
services and also caused 159 deaths (72 direct, 87 indirect). Sandy also
caused the New York Stock Exchange to close for two consecutive
business days, which last happened in 1888 due to a major winter storm. |
70900000000 |
| Hurricane Irma |
06SEP2017 |
Category 4 hurricane made landfall at Cudjoe Key,
Florida after devastating the U.S. Virgin Islands - St John and St
Thomas - as a category 5 storm. The Florida Keys were heavily impacted,
as 25% of buildings were destroyed while 65% were significantly damaged.
Severe wind and storm surge damage also occurred along the coasts of
Florida and South Carolina. Jacksonville, FL and Charleston, SC received
near-historic levels of storm surge causing significant coastal
flooding. Irma maintained a maximum sustained wind of 185 mph for 37
hours, the longest in the satellite era. Irma also was a category 5
storm for longer than all other Atlantic hurricanes except Ivan in 2004. |
50000000000 |
| Hurricane Andrew |
23AUG1992 |
Category 5 hurricane hits Florida and later impacts
Louisiana as a category 3. High winds damage or destroy over 125,000
homes and leave at least 160,000 people homeless in Dade County, Florida
alone. Initially rated as a category 4, Andrew was later upgraded to a
category 5 upon further analysis. Andrew joins Hurricane Camille (1969)
and the Labor Day Hurricane (1935), as the only land falling category 5
hurricanes on record to affect the U.S. mainland. Adjusted to
present-day dollars, Andrew is the 3rd most costly hurricane to impact
the U.S. since 1980, after Katrina (2005) and Sandy (2012). |

| Hurricane Matthew |
08OCT2016 |
Hurricane Matthew paralleled the Southeast coast from
Florida to North Carolina causing widespread damage from wind, storm
surge and inland flooding. The most costly impacts were due to historic
levels of river flooding in eastern North Carolina where 100,000 homes,
businesses and other structures were damaged. This inland flooding was
comparable to Hurricane Floyd (1999) that also impacted eastern North
Carolina. Matthew narrowly missed landall on Florida's east coast as a
powerful category 4 storm. |

| SUMMARY: INNER | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
A client uses a MessageConsumer
object to receive messages
from a destination. A MessageConsumer
object is created by
passing a Destination
object to a message-consumer creation
method supplied by a session.
MessageConsumer
is the parent interface for all message
consumers.
A message consumer can be created with a message selector. A message selector allows the client to restrict the messages delivered to the message consumer to those that match the selector.
A client may either synchronously receive a message consumer's messages or have the consumer asynchronously deliver them as they arrive.
For synchronous receipt, a client can request the next message from a
message consumer using one of its receive
methods. There are
several variations of receive
that allow a
client to poll or wait for the next message.
For asynchronous delivery, a client can register a
MessageListener
object with a message consumer.
As messages arrive at the message consumer, it delivers them by calling the
MessageListener
's onMessage
method.
It is a client programming error for a MessageListener
to
throw an exception.

You can implement your own custom constraints by creating a class that inherits from the Constraint abstract class, which supports performing a test on an actual value and generating appropriate messages. The class includes two abstract methods, which you must override and four virtual methods with default implementation that may be overridden as needed:
public abstract class Constraint { ... public abstract bool Matches( object actual ); public virtual bool Matches( ActualValueDelegate del ); public virtual bool Matches<T>( ref T actual ); public abstract void WriteDescriptionTo( MessageWriter writer ); public virtual void WriteMessageTo( MessageWriter writer ); public virtual void WriteActualValueTo( MessageWriter writer ); ... }
Your derived class should save the actual argument to Matches in the protected field actual for later use.
The MessageWriter abstract class is implemented in the framework by TextMessageWriter. Examining the source for some of the builtin constraints should give you a good idea of how to use it if you have special formatting requirements for error messages.
Having written a custom constraint class, you can use it directly through its constructor:
Assert.That(myObject, new CustomConstraint());
You may also use it in expressions through NUnit's Matches syntax element:
Assert.That(myObject, Is.Not.Null.And.Matches(new CustomConstraint());
The direct construction approach is not very convenient or easy to read. For its built-in constraints, NUnit includes classes that implement a special constraint syntax, allowing you to write things like...
Assert.That( myArray, Is.All.InRange(1,100) );
Ideally, that's what you would like to do with the custom constraint as well. To accomplish this, two separate steps are required:
Assert.That( myObject, Is.Custom(x,y) );
Assert.That( myList, Is.Not.All.Custom(x,y) );

PERSONAL HEALTH: DRUGS, SAFE AND NOT SO SAFE, IN PREGNANCY
The drug metronidazole, commonly used to treat intestinal
parasites, is best avoided in the first trimester. Lindane (as in
Kwell), formerly widely used to treat lice infestations, should be
avoided entirely during pregnancy, and pregnant women should wear
rubber gloves when treating children for head lice; safer
alternatives are the pyrethroids with piperonyl butoxide (Rid and
R&C, for example) or a fine-toothed comb.
The new nonsedating antihistamines used to treat allergies have
not been tested for safety in pregnancy. But women who have been
receiving desensitization shots can continue to do so at a
maintenance dose during pregnancy. Women with asthma can safely use
theophylline, aminophylline, terbutaline and cromolyn sodium. And
it may surprise you to learn that the potent immune-suppressing
drugs prednisone and prednisolone are considered drugs of choice
during pregnancy because they are nearly completely inactivated by
the placenta.
Also safe are alphamethyldopa and propranolol to treat chronic
hypertension. For women plagued by heartburn, antacids are safe for
use in any trimester, but bicarbonate of soda, magnesium
trisilicate and the new H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors are
potentially toxic to the fetus.
Reports on the safety of the new antidepressants called
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI.'s) have been mixed.
One large study of Prozac found no increase in miscarriage or major
birth defects, but infants exposed in the womb were more likely to
have minor defects. The latest report, based on 524 pregnancies,
half of which involved the use of an SSRI, found no increase in
major malformations, miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth
associated with the either the SSRI's or tricyclic antidepressant
drugs taken in recommended doses during pregnancy.
Although most medications taken in normal doses by a nursing
mother are safe for infants, a few are definitely too toxic for a
baby. These include chemotherapy drugs to treat cancer; lithium to
treat bipolar disorder and drugs like cyclosporine that suppress
the immune system. Even when taking a safe drug, a nursing mother
would be wise to coordinate the dosages with the baby's schedule,
just after the baby has been fed or before the baby's longest
sleep.
For more information about the safety of over-the-counter drugs
during pregnancy, see ``I'm Pregnant and I Have a Cold'' by Dr.
Craig V. Towers, a perinatologist in California at Long Beach
Memorial Medical Center, just published by RBC Press ($27.95 in
hardcover, $14.95 in paperback). Other Substances of Concern
Barbara K. Hackley, a nurse midwife at the Yale School of
Nursing, recently reviewed the safety of immunizations during
pregnancy in The Journal of Nurse-Midwifery. She approves of the
toxoid and inactivated vaccines _ tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis B,
influenza and pneumococcal vaccines _ although she advises that
even these vaccines are best given in the second and third
trimesters in case they may have some effect yet unrecognized on a
young fetus. Flu vaccine (taken each fall to include the latest
strains) is now recommended for all pregnant women. To be avoided
are live virus and bacterial vaccines, including those for measles,
mumps, rubella and chicken pox.
Legal recreational drugs like alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are
also common concerns among pregnant women. Cigarette smoking during
pregnancy can compromise fetal growth, resulting in babies that are
smaller than they should be at birth, and may also cause
long-lasting intellectual deficits. Heavy consumption of alcohol
during pregnancy causes fetal alcohol syndrome marked by subnormal
growth, muscle and heart damage, and low intelligence or mental
retardation. Although an occasional drink is highly unlikely to
have any adverse effect on a developing fetus, the Food and Drug
Administration advises pregnant women to refrain from drinking any
alcohol.
Caffeine and coffee, on the other hand, have been pretty much
cleared of earlier suspicions of fetal harm, at least when consumed
in moderation: no more than three cups of coffee a day. In 1980,
after reports of birth defects in mice induced by caffeine, the FDA
warned pregnant women to limit their intake of coffee. But
considerable evidence accumulated since has not implicated coffee
as a cause of birth defects in humans. Still, there is some
evidence that consuming more than three cups of coffee a day may
slightly reduce birth weights.


Match Play. Red trails 4-5 to 7. How should Red play 63?
pips Red=153 White=156

At this score Red want to create a gammon threat if he can and the position is slightly more awkward for White if hangs back with 18/9. On the downside the rear Red checker could get isolated.
The rollout makes this a dead heat between the two plays. Over the board I would go with 18/9 as this might lead to more difficult cube decisions for White later on.

The program uses a simple genetic algorithm to evolve random three-wheeled shapes into cars over generations.
The code is on a
GitHub repository. Feel free to contribute!
Controls
Suprise: Toggles drawing, makes the simulation faster.
New Population: Keeps the generated track and restarts the whole car population.
Create new world with seed: The same seed always creates the same track, so you can agree on a seed with your friends and compete. :)
Mutation rate: The chance that each gene in each individual will mutate to a random value when a new generation is born.
Mutation size: The range each gene can mutate into. Lower numbers mean the gene will have values closer to the original.
Floor: fixed or mutable for every next generation
Gravity: our Earth is the default, but you can try it in another planets :)
Elite clones: The top n cars that will be copied over to the next generation.
View top replay: Pause the current simulation and show the top performing car. Click a second time to resume simulation.
Graph
Red: Top score in each generation.
Green: Average of the top 10 cars in each generation.
Blue: Average of the entire generation.
Genome
The genome consists of:
- Shape: (8 genes, 1 per vertex)
- Wheel size: (3 genes, 1 per wheel)
- Wheel position: (3 genes, 1 per wheel)
- Wheel density: (3 genes, 1 per wheel) darker wheels mean denser wheels
- Chassis density: (1 gene) darker body means denser chassis
Blurb
This is not as deterministic as it should be, so your best car may not perform as well as it once did. The terrain gets more complex with distance.

Subzero temperatures coming to Lower Mainland
Environment Canada predicts the air will drop to -5 and -10 C
by Black Press Media StaffA rush of Arctic air is coming to the Lower Mainland.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement on Monday afternoon for people living in Hope all the way through to Vancouver’s North Shore.
The mercury will start to drop on Tuesday, with the Arctic winds hitting the coast by Wednesday night. As the week goes on, temperatures, with the wind chill, will slide down to -5 to -10 C.
The department recommends people spending a lot of time outside to dress in layers, with a wind-resistant outer layer, and for drivers to make sure they have a winter emergency kit with blankets, extra clothes and boots in their cars.


Using Py4J is usually as simple as creating a JavaGateway object:
java_gateway = JavaGateway()
# you are now connected to the JVM
# and you can call any method defined on the Java side.
You can still customize and extend Py4J in many ways (e.g., you can choose the port to which you want to connect). The
following modules are documented. Note that users are expected to only use py4j.java_gateway
.

London Bridge terror attack: Two members of the public dead after knife rampage - reports
by Sam SheddenTwo members of the public have been killed after a man went on a rampage with a knife in a terror incident on London Bridge.
The attacker was shot dead by armed police.
Several people were stabbed by the knifeman on London Bridge before he was grappled to the ground and disarmed by members of the public.
It is believed two people were killed following the attack.
Footage on social media appeared to show one man being pulled away by armed officers before the suspect is shot at point-blank range.

Neil Basu, the head of UK counter-terrorism policing, said: "At approximately 2pm today, police were called to a stabbing at a premises near London Bridge.
"Emergency services attended including officers from the City of London Police and Metropolitan Police.
"A male suspect was shot by specialist armed officers from City of London police and I can confirm that this suspect died at the scene."
Mr Basu said he would give updates to the families of those injured "as soon as we can get that information".
"A number of other people received injuries during this incident. As soon as we can provide further updates on their condition, we will," he told the press conference.
"Our heartfelt sympathies go out to everybody who has been involved in this and is anxiously waiting for information on their loved ones.
"As soon as we can get that information, we will get it to you."


More pain in store for bitcoin as it falls for third week
by Agency StaffAs bitcoin’s recent sell-off accelerates, some technical indicators are pointing to further pain ahead.
The largest cryptocurrency’s slide snowballed on Monday, with the price dropping as much as 5% to test the key US$8 000 level, which it hasn’t breached since the end of October. Bitcoin also bounced off its 200-day moving average line — a drop below it could trigger a sell signal.
The digital currency slumped after China took steps to crack down on the space. While the Asian nation said it may start to embrace the blockchain technology that supports cryptocurrencies, it has since taken fresh steps to curb trading.
Watchdogs in Shanghai in recent days issued notices calling for a clean-up of companies involved in trading of digital assets, while one in Beijing warned against illegal exchange operations. In addition, the official accounts of exchange operator Binance and blockchain platform Tron were suspended by Weibo last week.
Bitcoin was down 3.3% as of 3.41pm in New York on Monday to trade around $8 177 and has dropped nearly 11% this month, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. Peer coins including dash and ether also retreated, with the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index losing close to 3%. — Reported by Vildana Hajric, with assistance from Kenneth Sexton, (c) 2019 Bloomberg LP

Demo
The composite demo operates on two source images, two alpha channels
with scrollbars used to control the percentage contribution
of each source image, and a single composite destination image.
With a second alpha channel scrollbar value of 255, the compositing
operation becomes a simple blend operation between the two
source images. The contribution to the destination image is
controlled by the first alpha channel. In the initial state
of the demo, 100% of the second image and 0% of the first
image are set. Please note that the alpha images need not
be constant.
JAI
The JAI composite operation requires six parameters. Two source
images, two alpha images (second one may be null), a boolean
flag indicating whether or not alpha has been multiplied to
both sources and destination, and a "alphaFirst" flag where
true indicates that the alpha channel is the first band of
the destination image.
For example,
pb = new ParameterBlock()
pb.addSource(source1);
pb.addSource(source2);
pb.add(alpha1);
pb.add(null);
pb.add(new Boolean(false));
pb.add(new Boolean(false));
destination = JAI.create("composite", pb, null);
Theory
The composite operation combines two images based on their
alpha values at each pixel. This is done on a per-band
basis. The two source images are expected to have the
same number of bands and the same data type. The
destination image has the same data type as the two
source images but with one extra band. The extra band contains
the resultant alpha channel.
The destination pixel values may be viewed as representing
a fractional pixel coverage or transparency factor.
Specifically, composite implements the Porter-Duff "over"
rule (see Computer Graphics, July 1984) in which the
output color of a pixel with source value/alpha tuples
(A, a)
and (B, b)
is given by
a*A + (1 - a)*(b*B).
The output alpha value
is given by a + (1 - a)*b
. For premultiplied
source tuples (a*A, a)
and (b*B, b)
,
the premultiplied output value is simply (a*A) + (1 - a)*(b*B).
The color channels of the two source images are supplied via
source1
and source2
. The two sources must
be either both pre-multiplied by alpha or not. An alpha channel should
not be included in either source1
or source2
.
The alpha channel of the first source images must be supplied
via the source1Alpha
parameter. This parameter may not
be null. The alpha channel of the second source image may be supplied
via the source2Alpha
parameter. This parameter may be
null, in which case the second source is considered completely opaque.
The alpha images should be single-banded and have the same data type
as well as dimensions as their corresponding source images.
The alphaPremultiplied
parameter indicates whether
or not the supplied alpha image is premultiplied to both the source
images. It also indicates whether the destination image color channels
have the alpha values multiplied to the pixel color values.
The destination image is the combination of the two source images.
It has the color channels and one additional alpha channel (the band
index depends on alphaFirst
parameter). Whether alpha
value is pre-multiplied to the color channels also depends on the value
of alphaPremultiplied
(pre-multiplied if true).

Hi
Is this possible to have all these in same emontx; 3-phase measuring, pulse input from energy meter and temperature measuring?
Or pulse input(one or two) and temperature measuring?
I found these:
Upload the configuration specific firmware:
- Current only - this is the simplest electricity monitoring configuration and is comparable to most domestic home electricity monitors.
- Current and Voltage - This is the recommended electricity monitoring configuration as the additional voltage measurement gives you greater accuracy. It calculates real power and power factor.
- Electricity and temperature - Voltage and current based electricity measurement and 4x temperature sensors ideal for heatpump monitoring or solar hot water system monitoring.
- Pulse counting only: Water, gas, electric
- Elster meter interface only
Re: 3-phase monitoring, pulse input and temperature
I assume all is possible if coding is not a problem.
Re: 3-phase monitoring, pulse input and temperature
3-phase measuring of current will require three CT's. Do you want to measure voltage as well? If so, is that for all 3 phases, or just one? AnalogRead statements take a lot of processing time, and you need thousands of them per second per channel for good results. Some time can be saved by controlling the ADC directly.
Pulses from energy meters can be detected very easily because they can use digital inputs and do not need to be checked very often. Or maybe you could use an interrupt? I'm not sure about your temperature sensor, but it would presumably not need to be measured very often.
As you say, everything should be possible within the code. But your measurements for current/voltage do need be done often enough for the results to be useful.

Ivar, of course, promotes the unified process, and especially the practice of making knowledge explicit. This is, he says what makes his process better than agile methods. Dave Thomas commented to me that it is easy to arrive at such conclusions when you don't have to do it in practice. Anyway, the main thing that got my attention (of course) was what Ivar calles the next thing. His idea is that all the information gathered and formalized by (R)UP is a good thing as long as it stays out of our way and is available when we need it. This is an interessting proposition, albeit a bit far fetched. Ivar is actually talking about (and have started developing) intelligent agents to be responsible for this information distribution. He is using software agents as virual pairs to suggest options for you and learn from what you are doing. How about that? He envisions a set of tools that will let agents play different roles, such as

At the office of the University of Michigan’s Hatcher library, the latest expansion to the collection is happening within a 12 × 20 windowless room housing several servers. The digital archivists on the Digital Map Library team are working to scan the library’s entire extensive collection of maps, in order to “bring geographical history into a more modern perspective,” says lead archivist Natalie Bond. “We want the Michigan DML to become the first and best resource for historical maps, and we want it to be accessible to any library in the world.”
High resolution scans create enormous files, usually in the realm of 4,500 megabytes for just the initial layer. The DML team then adds additional layers of metadata and imagery to make the maps interactive — and searchable. “By the time we’re done, each map is made up of hundreds of separate files. If you had to load it all at once on your browser, you’d be waiting all day; it’s around 1,500,000 kb even after some of the image compression. So we’ve developed a way to load the data in a way that’s much easier for people to actually use.”

Scaling Microservices with Contiv
Enterprises are moving their applications from monolithic architectures to Microservices architectures. When they are thinking about Microservices, they are also considering containerizing their applications. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the scale challenges of deploying containerized microservices.
There are two aspects of scaling. One is the operational aspect. How to operate large number of Microservices or containers with small number of human operators? How do you increase containers to human ratio( a ratio made popular by google)? Often this aspect gets ignored. You want to be thinking about 10s of thousands of containers per human operators. You should be embracing devops culture. You should think about self service deployments. If your developers need to file a ticket to provision something, you have already lost the battle. You should be thinking about deploying Microservices in seconds instead of hours. Another aspect of scaling is the architectural aspect. How do you build large clusters? How do you deploy more number of containers per node? How can you deploy more containers per second? How can you serve more traffic from a container? How can you improve response time of your application? We’ll look at both aspect of scaling in this article.
Project Contiv is an open source project. It provides policy based networking, storage and cluster management for containerized application. It works with all major schedulers like Kubernetes, Mesos and Docker swarm. Schedulers provide compute resources to your containers and Contiv provides networking and storage. In this article, we’ll mostly focus on networking.
Challenges
Picture above shows what happens when you embrace Microservices and break up your monolithic J2EE style application into loosely coupled Microservices. These diagrams are affectionately called ‘death star diagrams’. Each of the dots on the perimeter of the circle is a Microservice. Lines between these dots are the API calls between one Microservice to another. One in the middle shows the Microservices at Netflix(one of the pioneers of Microservices architecture), one on the right is Twitter and one on the left is from Ridesharing company Hail-O. These companies are what you’d call a single application companies. Netflix has a single app – online video. Twitter has a single app – tweeting 140 characters. Yet, each of these companies have hundreds of Microservices. Enterprises are not a single app companies. A typical large enterprise has hundreds of applications. Procurement systems, supply chain system, ERP system, CRM system, HR system, etc. You can only imagine how this picture will look like for a large enterprise.
This picture really makes some of the challenges obvious. First, lets step back and see what’s happening here. If you had a monolithic application, each one of these dots would have been a module and each of the links would have been a function or method call. JVM or a linker would have linked these modules together. You didn’t have to worry about how a method is routed to right module. You didn’t have to worry about discovery of the module or reliability of a method call. When you broke up the monolith into multiple Microservices that scale out independently, you suddenly have to worry about making these API calls over a network. You have to worry about: (i) Routing these API calls to right Microservice (ii) About load balancing to scale out instances (iii) About monitoring health of service instances (iv) About timeouts, retries and making these API calls reliable in spite of failures. i.e. you have to design for failure.
Looking at this from an application developer perspective, We should be thinking about networking differently, where you don’t have to worry about Vlans, subnets and IP addresses. We should be thinking about networking as a dynamic linker that links all the Microservices together. We should be thinking about network as a service bus for your API calls. We designed Contiv to provide such a higher level of networking abstraction.
There is a second problem here that may not be as obvious. How do secure your application when there are hundreds of Microservices? (i) How do you know if one of them is compromised and skimming data from rest of the Microservices? (ii) How do you know if your compliance/governance rules are met? (iii) How do you know another Microservice isn’t accessing your database directly instead of using your API? (One of the things that’s different about Microservices from traditional SOA type of architectures is Microservices have no shared database. Each Microservice is responsible for its own data management). (iv) How do you secure them when service instances are ephemeral and are created and destroyed on-demand based on traffic.
Operationally, you need a way to secure your Microservices in a decentralized way. No single admin can right thousands of lines of rules that can satisfy all requirements. You want infrastructure operator to specify high level policies and individual application owners to specify application specific policies. You want this to be completely self service. For the most part, you want consumers of a Microservice to specify the APIs they’ll consume. But, for critical systems you want to have the control who consumes the service. We designed Contiv to provide that kind of decentralized and distributed security.

As described earlier, Contiv is new kind of networking for your Microservices application. One of the goals of Contiv networking is to hide all the complexity of infrastructure from application developers and provide a higher layer of abstraction. So that developers can focus on solving bigger problems. Project Contiv works with multiple container schedulers like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm and Mesos. There are just four simple concepts in Contiv networking. These concepts remain same across all three schedulers.
- Each tenant or a line of business has a virtual network. This virtual network is a just flat IP network. You can think of it as a virtual private cloud. You can be sure Contiv has you covered on basic networking front. Contiv has one of the best pure L3 implementation if your datacenter has spine-leaf topology. If you are a fan of overlays, we have a routed Vxlan implementation. Even if you have L2 VLAN topology because of legacy VMs, we have an enhanced L2 forwarding mode where broadcast ARPs are suppressed and you can have large subnets.
- There is a segment for every micro-service. Segment is just an arbitrary grouping of network endpoints. You can think of a segment as a firewall security zone. You can apply firewall security rules between segments. But, these segments don’t consume any network resources. So, you can have as many segments as you wish. This is what lets you deploy Microservices in a scalable way.
- There is network based service discovery, service routing / load balancing and service monitoring for each Microservice. This is really critical for scale out architectures. This is the part that acts as a network based dynamic linker for your Microservices.
- Security policies can be applied to (i) network (ii) a segment or (iii) a service. These security policies are applied in a distributed manner on individual hosts.
Implementation choices
We looked at various implementation choices for Contiv networking. Especially: how to do service routing and where to enforce security. We looked at Linux stack, IP tables, DPDK and Open Vswitch. We had to rule out DPDK since Linux containers are kernel level objects and they expect a netdev in their kernel namespace. Taking packets back to user space and switching in user space kills performance.
Next, we looked at Linux IP stack and IP tables. IP tables are really awesome and they have one of the best implementation of statefull firewall. But, IP tables have a scaling problem when it comes to scale out Microservices. The chart below is trying to highlight that problem. It shows a simple example of 50 Microservices, each talking to 10 other Microservices. It shows what happens when you starting scaling out number of instances in a Microservice.
Figure 1: Scaling IP table rules
You can see the red line in this chart that shows number of IP table rules increase exponentially. If you have service-A and service-B that need to talk to each other and each Microservice have 5 instances each, you need to install 25 iptable rules to allow all combinations. If you have 500+ Microservices like Netflix and 10s of scale out instances, number of IP table rules will run into millions.
We ended up building custom switching pipeline in kernel based on OpenVswitch. We chose OpenVswitch because its fully programmable. Its software defined. With the custom pipeline, we could do network based services and security policies in a scalable way in a single pipeline. You can see how number of rules in Contiv pipeline remains same no matter how many scale out instances you have. This is because we map all containers to a segment and then apply security on a segment.
Figure 2: Container-networking performance comparison
The picture above shows performance comparison of various container-networking options. The blue line at the top is bare metal to bare metal throughput. The Orange line just below that is Contiv performance. This test was run on two bare metal servers in 10G NICs. You can see Contiv is very close to line rate. Some of the overlay networking options have low performance due to the overhead involved.
Figure 3: Performance with scale
Next, We measured the performance with lot of policies and here are the results. Chart here shows the throughput with 100, 1000 and 5000 security policies. You can see performance barely dips even at 5K policies. Again, this was measured between two servers with 10G Nics. We were trying to emulate Netflix like environment with 500 Microservices and each talking to 10 other Microservices on average. So, we measured the performance with 5K policies.
Conclusion
As we saw, project Contiv provides a highly scalable networking for containerized Microservices.

[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> AWS support just have to fix this for us. I am not sure what their response time is
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> So would I, but I have 2 more days until I go traveling. I would like to have this ready and tested before that, but if not its no big deal.
[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> blackjok3r: nice, better remove stuff then adding :-)
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> Gives time to get AWS to sort it out.
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> Yes everything now uses a single docker image... for all chains, however the first 64 are a separate YAML launched on an EC2 instance so I can connect Notary Nodes hosted in Hetzner I think they are.
[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> ok
[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> it is single docker image, but we still need to start 2 containers right?
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> Yes there is -ac and -miner in YAML but both start from same image.
[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> blackjok3r: ok, that should not cause any issues
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> Everything is passed as ENV var, Just need to create template for your script to place all the chains in to the YAML for chains over 64.
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> it works... So I imagine it should not lol.
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> the next test needs to be at least 256 chains to test the stats website back end to make sure it scales linear or less than linear (?) or to see how big a server will be required for the full test.
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> I think smk702 and i might need to run another 64 chain test tonight to make sure changes from last night are correct as we spent a long time squashing bugs to get everything to display correctly.
[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> why we do not scale also stats website?
[matrix] <patchkez:matrix.org> stats servers is puling the data from dynamodb right?
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> Its desgin should let it scale to very large numbers, but we just want check and make 100% sure... the last thing we want is to start 16000 containers and have it fail.
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> Yes, the dynamoDB receives the stats from each chain, they stay there for 4 minutes, every 5s the stats site scans everything in the DB from X timestamp, then filters out anything it already has and averages the TX/s over 5s.
[matrix] <blackjok3r:matrix.org> If I have understood correctly... smk702 will have better info than me though.

default_axis_param.Rd
The Default Parameters for Annotation Axis
default_axis_param(which)
| which | Whether it is for column annotation or row annotation? |
|---|
There are following parameters for the annotation axis:
The breaks of axis. By default it is automatically inferred.
The corresponding axis labels.
The rotation of the axis labels.
Graphc parameters of axis labels. The value should be a unit
object.
If it is for column annotation, the value should only be one of left
and right
. If it is for row annotation, the value should only be one of top
and bottom
.
Whether the axis faces to the outside of the annotation region or inside. Sometimes when appending more than one heatmaps, the axes of column annotations of one heatmap might overlap to the neighbouring heatmap, setting facing
to inside
may invoild it.
The direction of the axis. Value should be "normal" or "reverse".
All the parameters are passed to annotation_axis_grob
to construct an axis grob.

The Under Sea Modeling Library (USML) is a collection of C++ software development modules for sonar modeling and simulation. The Wavefront Queue 3D (WaveQ3D) model is the component of USML that computes acoustic transmission loss in the ocean using Hybrid Gaussian Beams in Spherical/Time Coordinates. At this time, most of the other modules provide support to WaveQ3D.
USML depends on the NetCDF package, for access to test data, and the Boost package, for fast computations (uBLAS) and unit test utilities. Correctly configuring these packages is the #1 problem reported by USML users. Before you attempt to build and test USML, please read this section carefully.
vector_expression.hpp
and matrix_expression.hpp
files in the usml/config
directory.
In each case, the operator/() should be using the enable_if<> macros just like the operator*()
just above it. Those using Boost 1.41.0 and later versions can just replace the original files with the
ones from the usml/config
directory.
usml/config
directory
that is specifically setup to do this for you. NOTE: you will need to download the HDF5/zLib/cURL
packages from source and compile them appropriately. There is also a README.txt provided in the
usml/config
directory that assists with this.FindNetCDF.cmake
file from the usml/config
directory
into CMake's shared modules directory. For Linux it's the /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules
directory.
For the sake of the example, let's assume that you are installing on a Linux
system into the "~/Projects/usml"
directory. Assuming that this is the current
directory, and that all of the tarballs are here as well, the Linux commands
to execute would be:
tar -xzf usml-src-#.##.tar.gz tar -xzf usml-doc-#.##.tar.gz tar -xzf usml-data-#.##.tar.gzwhere #.## is the version number to be installed.
For installation from a GitHub zip file, after extraction the topmost directory will need to be
changed from "UnderSeaModelingLibrary-branchname"
to "usml"
for
the CMake build system to function properly. Also, if cloning the respository from GitHub ensure
the clone takes place from a toplevel directory named "usml"
. The CMake build
system and many of the include references expect the topmost directory to be "usml"
.
This library is built using the CMake cross-platform, open-source build system. Users are strongly encouraged to configure their builds using the cmake-gui tool. CMake makes it much easier to support cross-platform builds, but it requires a few more steps than a direct Makefile interface. For example, a simple Unix build includes the following steps.
"~/Projects/usml"
.
"~/Projects/usml-build"
directory. Using a binary
directory that is not outside of the source tree is strictly optional,
except for the Eclipse CMake generator.
"~/Projects/usml-build"
directory to compile both
the usml shared libraries and the usml_test regression tests.
