Abstract:
Don’t miss this demonstration of the hot new container technology that will change your assumptions about what it takes to implement high-availability clusters. Join DH2i’s Carl Berglund as he transforms standalone SQL Server instances of different versions and editions into an automated HA cluster failing over between systems—in just a few minutes. In fact, he’ll have plenty of time left over to show you some other cool tricks with his new cluster, such as: QoS controls at the instance level, SQL and OS updates as fast as an application stop/start, and multi-subnet geo-clustering capabilities. And you’ll still have time to grab dessert.
Speaker(s): Carl Berglund,
Abstract:
There’s just so much to do to get your systems to run in an optimal fashion, but where do you start. This session will walk you through an extensive checklist of things you can do to better manage your servers, databases and code. We’ll start with server configurations and what you can do with them. We’ll then move through standard administrative tasks that will help with performance. Then it’s off to the intricacies of database design and how that can affect performance. We’ll finish up with T-SQL and where it can hurt or help your systems. All examples in the session will use readily available tools that are a standard part of SQL Server.
Speaker(s): Grant Fritchey,
Abstract:
Clustered implementations of SQL Server instances (FCIs) have traditionally used some sort of attached, or shared storage. However, sometimes that is not the best way to deploy an FCI, especially if you are looking to deploy in the cloud-be it Windows Azure or Amazon EC2. Sometimes you may even want a cost-effective disaster recovery solution without the need for SAN replication. Come hear Microsoft Cluster MVP Allan Hirt discuss your storage options to not only create a #SANLess cluster, but also to increase the availability of your SQL Server instances using SSD and flash-based PCIe storage or the cloud.

Speaker(s): Joseph D'Antoni,
Abstract:
December 1978: 10 people die in a commercial airliner. Why? Bad troubleshooting skills and poor maintenance – disaster-causing attitudes. As you'll learn in this session, the doomed airliner ran out of fuel while the crew of three wasted time troubleshooting a false alarm. We can draw some parallels in the database world. Poor troubleshooting, disaster-causing attitudes, and a lack of disaster preparedness lead to needless downtime and serious user impact across our environments. In this session, we'll look at case studies of real-life aviation disasters and production database downtime incidents. We'll see similarities in attitudes that cause disasters. Come learn about the importance of preparation, troubleshooting, and teamwork. This will be an interactive session where we’ll pick apart disasters, engage in discussion around case studies, and leave prepared to change attitudes in ourselves and our colleagues and avoid disasters at work.
Speaker(s): Mike Walsh,
Abstract:
Let's cut to brass tax. What is the quickest way to create a central performance health repository, where we can continuously collect, upload, store, monitor and report on SQL Server Health of multiple instances? If you are using SQL 2008 and higher, the short answer is MDW, otherwise known as a management data warehouse. MDW is a native feature available in SQL Server, "out of the box" - why not use it? In this session, we will take you through the setup, from the wizard and beyond. To creating, configuring, and deploying the MDW in a jiffy, as well as creating custom collections to capture your own desired performance metadata. We'll discuss baselines, trends, and understanding the data. We'll show you the reports as well, and how to expand upon MDW.

Speaker(s): Sayed Saeed,
Abstract:
Quite frankly, some aspects of building out a business intelligence solution are tedious. As you cycle through iterations of your star schema, you’ll find that even a simple data type change in the data warehouse requires you to make corresponding changes to staging tables, SSIS packages, and SSAS multidimensional or tabular models that take a considerable amount of time to implement. But there’s a better, faster way!In this session, we’ll explore lessons from a project that required implementation of a framework to easily generate BI objects based on reusable patterns. We’ll walk through the decision points in the framework design, review the implementation steps, and see demonstrations of how easily you can make iterative changes to your BI solution’s design by using reusable design patterns. Whether you simply want to accelerate change management or reproduce objects in bulk on demand, this session will give you practical tips for automating these processes.
Speaker(s): Stacia Varga,
Abstract:
The world of consulting can be rewarding on various levels. People often think they have the right stuff to be a consultant, but do you? Would you need to work for an agency or company that sells consulting services or could you strike out on your own? Or are you always going to be someone who needs to be a full time employee with a set schedule? What are the things you need to know if this is your ultimately succeed if this is your career path? Becoming a consultant is more than having the right technical skills. This session will cover the highs, lows, and realities of what it takes to be a successful consultant based on my experiences and those of my colleagues over the years.
Speaker(s): Allan Hirt,
Abstract:
With the vast amount of changes that occur in our daily business environments, it becomes more and more difficult to achieve our corporate goals without some ‘lighthouse’ to guide our way. Data mining, (while not a panacea to resolve or ‘control’ the effects of these changes), can provide us with statistical trends by analyzing our data and highlighting probable outcomes. In this hands on BEGINNERS presentation we shall be looking at Microsoft SQL Server’s Data Mining capabilities and we shall be discussing: 1) Defining what questions we want answered and how to go about this in an effective and efficient manner. 2) Creating the data model. 3) How to gather the necessary data, discussing the training and testing aspect. 4) Processing the model. 5) Extracting information from our finished model, discussing the implications of this information.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:
In many data warehouses we model fact tables with measures based on attributes which we can count and do arithmetic upon. It is more difficult to handle fact tables with measures based on length of intervals of events happening in the source systems. So questions like "What are the typical waiting times in our order process?" are seldom modelled in the data warehouse. Especially if the event data comes from different source systems. In this talk I will show you how Effektor has overcome this difficult problem using an auto generated data warehouse based on metadata on the objects in the EDW/DM layers. In this approach you can auto generate the process data warehouse if only you have the timestamps present in the EDW layer and are able to correlate them. The talk will consist of slides and demos. Examples is taken from Danish reporting on cancer treatment
Speaker(s): Kennie Pontoppidan,
Abstract:
Efficiently managing today’s SQL Server database infrastructure is more challenging than at any time in the past.Today’s server platforms have more computing power and capacity than ever before, but there are also moredatabase applications, many of which need to have very high performance in addition to very high availability.These requirements must also be balanced with an ongoing need for more efficiency and lower infrastructurecosts.In this presentation, you’ll learn why the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) is the optimum platform fordeploying and leveraging the new features in SQL Server 2014. Cisco UCS has a unique and advanced serverdesign that solves many of the business problems faced by legacy servers. You’ll learn how Cisco UCS’s featuresenable you to more rapidly provision and deploy servers, optimize online transaction processing (OLTP) andbusiness intelligence (BI) workloads, and improve the availability of business-critical workloads.
Speaker(s): Kevin Schenega,
Abstract:
Over the years, one of the most common questions I am asked is, "How can I configure a cluster on my machine?" Ask no more! Production should never be the only place you have clusters. Having the ability to create a cluster that you can use as a sandbox for testing or as an instruction tool for presentations and demonstrations is something every DBA should have in their arsenal. This session will demystify the "magic" behind configuring a cluster on your laptop or desktop using either Vmware Workstation or Microsoft's Hyper-V, and show how to configure things like the virtual machines, the domain controller, and the storage solution.
Speaker(s): Allan Hirt,
Abstract:
T4 templating support was added in the March 2014 release of SSDT. This means we can now create a T4 template to automatically create CRUD procedures for all the tables in our database project. Sure ORM tools like EF and nHibernate can handle CRUD operations in code, but if you want to provide an API to your database and avoid the tedious work of hand creating simple CRUD procedures this is the session for you! After this session you will: 1. Understand the basics of T4 templating 2. Have a basic understanding of the Dac object model 3. Be able to create a script that will create 100's or even 1000's of CRUD procedures in seconds.

Speaker(s): James Serra,
Abstract:
How are your servers running? What is going on in your SQL Server? How are you trending? When will you need the next server? Do you need to throw more hardware at SQL or more query tuning? (Or both?) In this session – we will share some free tools, techniques and approaches you can take right now with resources you already have to answer these questions and more.
Speaker(s): Mike Walsh,
Abstract:
Over the past many years, I have only come across very limited DBAs who actually openly admit use of third party tools that make their lives easier. Otherwise most DBAs find pleasure in writing complex queries to do routine stuff like backups, maintenance, monitoring; you name it. I would like to share my experience as a DBA, where I have used tools unashamedly to improve my productivity. Hopefuly after this session, you will find the same confidence in using third party tools. Then, use the time saved, to enhance your carreer.

A database by its very nature is one of the most resource intensive applications you will ever virtualize. This is even more difficult to do correctly in the context of a virtualized infrastructure that is a shared resource environment. We will look at every possible dynamic to virtualizing a database from Design, Storage, Memory and Network considerations. This presentation is based upon material given at VMworld from a presentation that was in the top 10 out of all presentation given.
Speaker(s): Michael Corey,
Abstract:
Are you someone (A DBA, Developer, etc) that connects to SQL Server to use data? You probably hear a lot about how protected your database can be when at rest. But what about when you connect to SQL and start running some queries? Using a simple hacking technique we will dig into some packets on our network and see what's in them. You may be shocked! Then we will create a self-signed SSL certificate, use it to encrypt our connections on the SQL Server, and see the actual changes in the packet as hackers would. *Warning - do not try some of these demos at work without proper permissions as hacking techniques are used.

We will also cover the basic syntax of PowerShell that will help you get started in the right direction. Finally, we will conclude the session with some examples that could make your SQL Admin life a lot easier.
Speaker(s): John Sterrett,
Abstract:
Computing running totals, averages by state or group, and other complex aggregations are not easy to implement in many relational databases. Thankfully, many relational databases include support for window functions. Window functions are an extension to the ANSI SQL standard. More than just another part of SQL, window functions enable complex ranking, ordering, and other aggregations over a subset of rows in a query. Understanding the capabilities of window functions lets you extend application functionality, build rich and complex queries, and reduce overhead in the application tier.

Speaker(s): David Bermingham,
Abstract:
Most DBA's rarely establish Service Level Agreements (SLA) with the Management and if they do they sometimes just come up with some random numbers for availability. Then when at some point something goes really wrong everybody wonders why it takes so long to bring everything back online. This Session will teach you how to ask the right questions, analyze your databases and servers and generate from the gathered data a realistic SLA.
Speaker(s): Thomas Grohser,
Abstract:

What is this?
This site is just a personal project I felt like working on during quarantine. I’ll host some random guides, thoughts about things going on, etc. that I feel like writing up (hence the site title). For example, I wrote a really old guide about a program called Macroquest2 a long time ago that I might port to this site.
I’ve also thought about putting together some basic technical writing pages that list some different resources that could be used to start learning what technical writing is like. Technical writing is what I do for a living, so I thought it might be interesting to collect some of my thoughts here.
If you’re interested in art, I’ve also thought about posting commissions, pictures of art I have up on my walls, and such. You can probably find most of that on my Twitter (if I’ve even remembered to post it), but it might be here as well.
I have links to my Twitter, GitHub, and LinkedIn in the top right corner of the site in case any of this seems interesting and you feel like looking for more. I’ll probably end up posting the source for this on my GitHub if I feel that someone might be able to get some worth out of it.


[gecode-users] Crash while freeing memory in connection with VS2010

Hi,
You seem to be using managed C++. Have you tried running your program with
standard C++? The different memory policy might be a source of problems.
I don't have a Windows machine to test on, so I haven't tried your program
myself.
Cheers,
Mikael

The secret to asking a question that will get answered is putting as much work into it as someone who is answering it will have to. You have to make sure that you are not asking a question that has already been asked, do your research don't ask a question that google can answer. Make it short and well structured, like you are talking to a busy colleague but don't use short code that only programmers will understand. Only copy the code that someone will need to answer the question don't jsut copy in your whole program. In the end you need to ask a question that you would like to answer.  That's being what is called a help vampire. Also, don't just post your question and leave it if people ask you to clear something up make an edit to your question, you have ot put the most work in as anyone else trying to answer the question.

A container of all Integate and Fire (IF) neuron data.
/
A container of all Integate and Fire (IF) neuron data. This is the base class of all Integate and Fire (IF) neuron classes.
The class uses a data-centric structure, which utilizes a structure as the containers of all neuron.
The container holds neuron parameters of all neurons. Each kind of neuron parameter is stored in a 1D array, of which length is number of all neurons. Each array of a neuron parameter is pointed by a corresponding member variable of the neuron parameter in the class.
This structure was originally designed for the GPU implementation of the simulator, and this refactored version of the simulator simply uses that design for all other implementations as well. This is to simplify transitioning from single-threaded to multi-threaded.

I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever else you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found a good game on (say) Unix, it wasn't available the next time I was sitting at a Windows machine, or vice versa; so I arranged that everything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on both, and have more recently done a port to Mac OS X as well. When I find (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that I like, they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available on both platforms. And if anyone feels like writing any other front ends – PocketPC, Mac OS pre-10, or whatever it might be – then all the games in this framework will immediately become available on another platform as well.
The actual games in this collection were mostly not my invention; they are re-implementations of existing game concepts within my portable puzzle framework. I do not claim credit, in general, for inventing the rules of any of these puzzles. (I don't even claim authorship of all the code; some of the puzzles have been submitted by other authors.)
This collection is distributed under the MIT licence (see appendix A). This means that you can do pretty much anything you like with the game binaries or the code, except pretending you wrote them yourself, or suing me if anything goes wrong.
The most recent versions, and source code, can be found at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
.
Please report bugs to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>. You might find it helpful to read this article before reporting a bug:
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
Patches are welcome. Especially if they provide a new front end (to make all these games run on another platform), or a new game.
