[choose] (corrected) Portable and Efficient Profiling for the JVM Using Bytecode Instrumentation

by Igor Metz

The CHOOSE executive board and the Software Composition Group of the University of Berne are pleased to invite you to a presentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portable and Efficient Profiling for the JVM Using Bytecode Instrumentation =========================================================================== When: Tuesday November 22, 2005, @17h15 Where: Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Dr. Walter Binder, Laboratoire d'intelligence artificielle, EPFL Agenda ------ 17h15 - 18h15 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Profiling complex, Java-based systems, such as e.g. middleware for service-oriented computing, is a tedious task, because most available profilers for Java cause excessive overhead or are not accurate enough. For instance, the exact profiler delivered with standard JDKs may cause overhead up to factor 4000, while the complementary sampling profiler does not generate accurate profiles. As another drawback, existing profiling support in standard JVMs require profiling agents to be written in native code, contradicting the Java motto "write once, run anywhere". In this talk I present a novel profiling framework for Java, which relies on bytecode instrumentation. The framework includes an exact profiler as well as a sampling profiler. Both of them support dynamic metrics that are related to the execution of bytecode instructions. Such metrics have the advantage of being platform-independent, resulting in reproducible profiles and reduced measurement perturbation. The profiling tools are fully portable and can be customized by user-defined profiling agents, which may be written in pure Java. Experiments show that our exact profiler causes significantly less overhead than a prevailing one and that our sampling profiler reconciles moderate overhead with high profile accuracy. Bio === Dr. Walter Binder is a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at EPFL since February 2003. He holds a M.S. (1997) and a Ph.D. (2001) in computer science from the Vienna University of Technology. Prior to his work at EPFL he worked for a software engineering company in Vienna, where he developed among other things the J-SEAL2 mobile object kernel, a Java-based component system offering operating system functions, strong security mechanisms, and support for mobile code. He also initiated the development of a resource management framework for Java. Moreover, he developed a Java-based operating system for embedded devices offering a high level of security and supporting remote maintenance and software deployment through mobile code. The focus of his recent research is on portable and accurate profiling techniques for virtual execution environments and on middleware for service-oriented computing. Walter Binder has published more than 40 refereed papers on his work. He received the Dimitris N. Chorafas Foundation 2000 Prize for Internet and Information Science. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This event is free even the drinks after the talk!

[choose] An Object Oriented Software Architecture for Semiconductor Manufacturing Machines: A Case Study (Reminder)

by Igor Metz

The CHOOSE executive board and Zühlke Engineering AG are pleased to invite you to a presentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------- An Object Oriented Software Architecture for Semiconductor Manufacturing Machines: A Case Study ========================================= When: Wednesday 28. September 2005, @17h00 Where: Zühlke Engineering AG, Wiesenstrasse 10a, 8952 Schlieren Travel instructions: http://www.zuehlke.com/de/uber_uns/lageplan_zurich.cfm?u=18532800081486 NOTE: registration for this event is required because we have to prepare the apero. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. Speakers -------- Alexander Beck, Unaxis Daniel Tobler, Zühlke Agenda ------ 17h00 - 18h15 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== Bonding machines (bonders) are automated chip assembly equipment used in the semiconductor industry to package microchips. Thousands of bonders are used in large microchip plants throughout Asia. The company, Unaxis Switzerland Ltd. Assembly & Packaging (ESEC), in Cham has been developing such bonders for many years. There are basically two types of bonders, wire bonders and die bonders. Die bonders pick dice (silicon chips) from a wafer on which microchips have been photolyticly produced and attach them to a carrier material. A die bonder has to rapidly place dice very accurately. The latest generation of die bonders place up to four dice per second. Wire bonders place gold wires from the die to the carrier, so that the die's logic can connect to the outside world. A wire bonder has to be even more accurate and connects up to 20 wires per second. This speech focuses on the control software for the bonder. It is programmed completely in C++. A modular, layered and encapsulated architecture is emphasized. Its size is around some hundred thousand source lines of code and currently several dozen software developers work on the project. This speech focuses on the following topics: * What does a bonder do and what are the processes that must be controlled by the software shown as an example of a die bonder. * How the different layers and subsystems were identified and which methods were suitable. * How the control software is distributed on different computer systems and what aspects led to this decision including the communication between these processes. * How does the software design consider the parallel tasks that must be controlled and which patterns suited our parallel software more and which less. * Data entry for production setup supporting an undo function and system wide dependencies on changing dependant data. * Efficient project controlling: Which processes proved of value and which processes did not. Bios ==== Alexander Beck has been working for more than 5 years in the area of object-oriented software engineering. He graduated in 1999 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich with a M. Sc. in Computer Science. After finishing his education, Alexander Beck developed software at ESEC (today Unaxis Switzerland) in several R&D projects for new chip assembly bonding machines. Since the beginning of 2005, he is a Software Architect for the new generation of die bonder machines. Daniel Tobler has been working for more than 10 years in the area of object-oriented software engineering. He graduated in 1995 from the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil with a B. Sc. in Electronic Engineering. In 1998 he received a Post-graduate Diploma in Software Engineering from the same University. After his studies, Daniel Tobler developed software for embedded systems for Siemens Building Technologies. At ESEC, he was responsible as a Project Manager for the development of the software for a new Wire-Bonder and worked afterwards as a Software Architect on various projects in the same domain. Since 2005, he has worked at Zühlke as a Software Architect for embedded and realtime systems. Daniel Tobler lectures object-oriented design in a post-graduate course at the University for Applied Sciences in Rapperswil and regularly supervises diploma projects related to this course. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This event is free even the drinks after the talk!

[choose] Spring Framework Overview (Reminder)

by Igor Metz

The CHOOSE executive board and the Software Composition Group of the University of Berne are pleased to invite you to a presentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spring Framework Overview ========================= When: Tuesday 20. September 2005, @17h15 Where: Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (IWI), Universität Bern, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 Travel instructions: http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Resources/Maps/ Speaker ------- Guido Schmutz, Trivadis AG Agenda ------ 17h15 - 18h15 Talk and Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. Abstract ======== The past two years have seen a growing trend toward lightweight architectures as alternatives to traditional Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) centric architectures. In this approach, application services and domain objects are designed as plain old Java technology objects (POJOs), resulting in fine-grained application components that are reusable and testable outside a container. This can significantly increase productivity and allows easier use of agile processes in J2EE platform development. Key enabling technologies include lightweight containers, such as Spring and HiveMind, and O/R mapping frameworks, such as Hibernate, Java Data Objects (JDO), and TopLink. This presentation introduces the Spring Framework and its lightweight container architecture, focusing on its powerful Dependency Injection capabilities, the Spring AOP framework, and the popular Spring JDBC technology framework. It highlights Spring's transaction management capabilities - in particular, declarative transactions for plain old Java technology objects - and illustrates data access object design for strategies, such as JDBC technology and Hibernate, which are supported out-of-the-box and integrated in a consistent architectural style. Spring does not compete with J2EE technology-based servers and the core system services provided by them; instead, Spring adds architectural value within J2EE technology-based applications, leveraging J2EE services without coupling application components to a concrete J2EE environment. Bio === Seit 1996 ist Guido Schmutz für die Trivadis als Consultant und Trainer in den Bereichen Oracle, J2SE und J2EE tätig. Er hat mehr als 10 Jahre Erfahrung in der Entwicklung von datenbanknahen und objektorientierten Systemen. Sein beruflicher Schwerpunkt sind Java-Architekturen insbesondere auch in Zusammenhang mit dem optimalen Einsatz von modernen Datenbank-Systemen, z.B. Oracle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This event is free even the drinks after the talk!
