Developing a Software Tool for Precise Kernel Measurements

Tracing the flow of control in a running kernel is useful for determining where performance can be improved, for instance. FKT (Fast Kernel Tracing) is a set of tools to achieve such tracing. However, its recording size was limited to the size of available memory, lacking a flushing mechanism. We here describe how such flushing was added to FKT without too much perturbing the measurements, how new issues raised by long recordings were addressed, as well as the new features that became useful

On the Potential of Flow-Based Routing in Multihomed Environments

The data rates provisioned by broadband Internet access connections continue to fall short of the requirements posed by emerging applications. Yet the potential of statistical multiplexing of the last mile broadband connections remains unexploited even as the average utilization of these connections remains low. Despite recent work in this area [15, 20], two key questions remain unanswered: a) What is the attainable benefit of broadband access sharing? and b) How much of this benefit is realizable given real-world constraints? In this work we quantify the attainable benefit of a multihomed broadband access environment by proposing and evaluating several flow-based access sharing policies using a custom flow-based simulator. We then analyze how much of the performance benefit is lost due to real-world constraints by migrating from simulations to a test-lab environment employing a wireless network. Our results show that in today’s broadband Internet access scenarios, a significant reduction in download times by up to a factor of 3 is achievable

A World You Do Not Know: Settler Societies, Indigenous Peoples and the Attack on Cultural Diversity

'A World You Do Not Know' explores the wilful ignorance demonstrated by North America’s settlers in establishing their societies on lands already occupied by indigenous nations. Using the Innu of Labrador-Quebec as one powerful contemporary example, Colin Samson shows how the processes of displacement and assimilation today resemble those of the 19th century as the state and corporations scramble for Innu lands. While nation building, capitalism and industrialisation are shown to have undermined indigenous peoples’ wellbeing, the values that guide societies like the Innu are very much alive. The book ends by showcasing how ideas and land-based activities of indigenous groups in Canada and the US are being maintained and recast as ways to address the attack on cultural diversity and move forward to more positive futures
