        • a) A quick trip from code profiling to file formats

          Several points should be taken into account when it comes to data import into Big Data solutions. Today we cover two, the first one is a data transfer engine (Apache Sqoop) and how we have profiled it with a profiler for distributed applications. Secondly, we provide some numbers to file formats that come from different use cases.

          Speaker: Daniel Lanza Garcia (Ministere des affaires etrangeres et europeennes (FR))

        • b) New versus malloc

          "new[] isn't always better", aka "Don't trust your compiler". During a code optimization exercise we very slowly discovered that a seemingly innocent C++ 'new double[n]' construct was up to a factor of ten slower than an archaic 'malloc'.

        • c) Development of distributed and concurrent applications with the actor model and akka

          An brief overview of the conceptual model to deal with concurrent computations called "Actor model" including the outline of one of its most famous implementations: Akka, a framework for Scala and Java

        • d) Where are the low hanging fruits?

          When facing a big physics reconstruction codebase, there is always room for improvement. However, choosing what to explore is crucial in the search for success!

        • e) Using Jupyterhub in the Belle2 experiment

          Jupyter allows to develop (Python-based) applications, so-called notebooks, which bundle code, documentation and results, e.g. plots. The advantages over classical script-based approaches is the feature to recompute only parts of the analysis code, which allows for fast and iterative development, and a web-based user frontend, which can be hosted centrally and only requires a browser on the user side. This talk will give a short introduction into the jupyter ecosystem.

        • g) Challenges for the Level-1 Trigger Control Software of a High-Energy Physics Experiment

          The trigger subsystem is an important component of a high-energy physics experiment with particular software requirements. Concurrent control and monitoring of hundreds of different boards is not uncommon. This presentation provides a brief overview of the challenges and the solutions that LHC experiments have devised to deal with them.

          Speaker: Christos Lazaridis (University of Wisconsin-Madison (US))

        • h) Network performance optimization of database replications at WLCG

          To achieve a better network performance over database replications at WLCG, different studies have been done during several months in collaboration with specific Tier 1s. These studies will be explained during this presentation to show how was the optimization workflow in order to improve the replication performance.
