Securing Apache 2: Step-by-Step
When choosing a web server, Apache very often wins against its competitors because of stability, performance, that fact that it s open source, and many other advantages. But when deciding on which version of Apache to use, the choice is not always so simple. On the one hand there is a very popular, stable version used by millions of users, version 1.3, and on the other hand, there is an enhanced and re-designed version 2.0.
The Staged Event-Driven Architecture (SEDA) is a new design for building scalable Internet services. SEDA has three major goals:
To support massive concurrency, on the order of tens of thousands of clients per node
To exhibit robust performance under wide variations in load and,
To simplify the design of complex Internet services.
SEDA decomposes a complex, event-driven application into a set of stages connected by queues. This design avoids the high overhead associated with thread-based concurrency models, and decouples event and thread scheduling from application logic. SEDA enables services to be well-conditioned to load, preventing resources from being overcommitted when demand exceeds service capacity. Decomposing services into a set of stages also enables modularity and code reuse, as well as the development of debugging tools for complex event-driven applications.
This paper presents several low-latency mixed-timing
FIFO (first-in–first-out) interfaces designs that interface systems
on a chip working at different speeds. The connected systems
can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The designs are then
adapted to work between systems with very long interconnect
delays, by migrating a single-clock solution by Carloni et al.
(1999, 2000, and 2001) (for “l(fā)atency-insensitive” protocols) to
mixed-timing domains. The new designs can be made arbitrarily
robust with regard to metastability and interface operating speeds.
Initial simulations for both latency and throughput are promising.
Absolute Database 5.12 src.
Absolute Database lets you forget the Borland Database Engine (BDE). This BDE replacement is the compact, high-speed, robust and easy-to-use database engine. With Absolute Database you will not need special installation and configuration, it compiles right into your EXE. Make your application faster and smaller with Absolute Database BDE alternative!
THE SYNTAX OF A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE tells you what code it is possible
to write—what the machine will understand. Style tells you what you ought to write—
what the humans reading the code will understand. Code written with a consistent, simple
style will be maintainable, robust, and contain fewer bugs. Code written with no regard to
style will contain more bugs. It may simply be thrown away and rewritten rather than
maintained.
vTools is a toolbox for Matlab 5.3 developed
within the Department of Electrical Systems and
Automation (DSEA) of the University of Pisa (Italy)
with the aim to offering to the Matlab users
(especially control engineers and control
engineering students) a completely graphical
toolbox for linear system analysis and robust
control synthesis
A general technique for the recovery of signi cant
image features is presented. The technique is based on
the mean shift algorithm, a simple nonparametric pro-
cedure for estimating density gradients. Drawbacks of
the current methods (including robust clustering) are
avoided. Feature space of any nature can be processed,
and as an example, color image segmentation is dis-
cussed. The segmentation is completely autonomous,
only its class is chosen by the user. Thus, the same
program can produce a high quality edge image, or pro-
vide, by extracting all the signi cant colors, a prepro-
cessor for content-based query systems. A 512 512
color image is analyzed in less than 10 seconds on a
standard workstation. Gray level images are handled
as color images having only the lightness coordinate
A one-dimensional calibration object consists of three or more collinear points with known relative positions.
It is generally believed that a camera can be calibrated only when a 1D calibration object is in planar motion or rotates
around a ¯ xed point. In this paper, it is proved that when a multi-camera is observing a 1D object undergoing general
rigid motions synchronously, the camera set can be linearly calibrated. A linear algorithm for the camera set calibration
is proposed，and then the linear estimation is further re¯ ned using the maximum likelihood criteria. The simulated and
real image experiments show that the proposed algorithm is valid and robust.
