Writing your own file system is easier than you think
In cloud computing era distributed storage systems are pervasive. But have you ever thought of how they store data internally? The answer is obviously non-uniform, but let me tell you
Fuzzing – how to find bugs automagically using AFL
“Deleted code is debugged code” [1]. Unfortunately, deletion of code isn’t a suitable solution for most of challenges developers encounter. That’s why the process of software quality assurance must be
Automatic Predictive Modeling on Apache Spark
For the last 2 years or so we’ve been working with our partners at NEC Laboratories America on a Spark-based automatic predictive modeling system. The system automatically searches the best algorithm,
