In 2018, it was 20 years since the term open source was coined, and 35 years since Richard Stallman started the free software movement. However, despite the long history and ubiquity of free software, which these days can be found in every home and every phone, many people are still not familiar with the relationship between two different visions that brought it to life, and individuals and communities behind those events. In this talk, the presenter will try to shed light on those historic events. A look back at the history of free software and open source Andrej Shadura

Varying minimal clan size brings in certain imbalance when solving a linear (Diophantine) system on parallel architectures via composition of its clans using PaAd software. The problem is partially mended by dynamic scheduling of jobs. The present paper studies a task of preliminary balancing the clan size via their aggregation represented as a special case of graph partitioning. Due to complexity of the optimization criteria, taking into consideration both the number of equations and the number of variables on two stages of solution -- solving a system for each clan and solving a composition system -- simplified variants of the task are considered and solved using heuristic techniques: a fast bin packing with the first fit on a sorted array algorithm and a multi-objective graph partitioning with software package METIS. Obtained benchmarks show that aggregation of clans brings in an additional 3 times speed-up. «Speed-up Solving Linear Systems on Parallel Architectures via Aggregation of Clans Dmitry Zaitsev

Modern Web is barely customizable. Most web designers try really hard to make their websites look the same for all users on all OSes and browsers and they try to eliminate any browser-specific behavior. This includes: font, font size, button placement guidelines (close button on the right or on the left, OK, Cancel buttons order and so on) and colors. We will concentrate on one problem: color customizability. People may want to override page colors for a variety of reasons: accessibility, preference to work in a dark room or just taste. But this is more complicated task rather than applying custom CSS with few overrides Dark Background and Light Text — Firefox add-on Mikhail Khvoinitsky

Petri net models of variable size having definite structure are characteristic for manifold application domains such as networking and high performance computing, manufacturing control, and structural biology. A formalism of infinite Petri nets allows us to specify suchlike systems. Though models of definite size are of some interest for illustrative purposes. Moreover, an inductive technique for drawing conclusions on an infinite model properties is based on a sequence of models with growing size. A technique of composing programs in C language which generate Petri net models is developed, a dozen of generators implemented and available via GitHub as open source software. Models are represented either in graphical format for 2D case or in logical format for higher number of dimensions. Software Generators of Petri Net Models Tatiana R. Shmeleva

An original made in European Union, namely in Barcelona Supercomputer Center, a system of parallel programming COMPSs is studied on an example of parallelizing a simple program written in Python language. After annotating functions with the explicit specification of input and output information, COMPSs parallizes programs automatically with a function as a grain (job) of parallel process granulation. The COMPSs runtime system launches jobs dynamically on the readiness of their input data on available nodes (cores). The COMPSs system performance is rather open issue which requires additional comparisons on test tasks with classical systems of parallel programming such as MPI and OpenMP.

Running databases in Kubernetes attracts a lot of attention today. Orсhestration of MySQL on Kubernetes is no way a straightforward process. There are several good MySQL based solutions in the open-source world, made by Oracle, Presslabs, and Percona. Having a common base, they differ in self-healing capabilities, multimaster and backup/restore support, etc. So let’s make a fair comparison to figure out the pros and cons of their current state.

The concept creating a thin provisioning of data storage on based distribution Linux. The "Thin provisioning" is a popular creation technology for the data storage. The concept of "thin provisioning" is based on "over-allocation" or "over-subscription" mechanism of dynamically allocated data blocks in a two-level model data storage. On the first level a thin pool is formed which includes the "data pool" and "meta pool". The second level consists of virtual volumes for the user space. The full size of virtual volumes can be several times large than the capacity of the thin pool. In the Linux distribution the "Device mapper" module exists acting as a provider of a thin volumes data storage. You can use the "dmsetup" utility or "Logical Volume Management 2" (LVM2) to create and manage the thin provisioning data storage pool and the virtual volumes.

strace is a diagnostic, debugging and instructional utility for Linux. It is used to monitor and tamper with interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state. Linux developers are usually aware of strace and use it occasionally, but their knowledge about modern strace features is often quite limited. In this talk the maintainer of strace will describe features of modern strace and demonstrate what kinds of problems they help to solve. Modern strace Dmitry Levin

For big projects with complex test environment continuous integration tools selecting is not trivial. Despite Jenkins is very popular and "easy to start" solution it has a number of disadvantages: hard to fully implement "everything is code" approach, plugins mess, high resource consumption, security issues, mess of task definition languages. For MariaDB Maxscale project the alternative solution - BuildBot was chosen. Presentation describes our success and failures of transition to BuildBot. From Jenkins to BuildBot: just our experience .Timofey Turenko

The experiment, aimed at finding the distribution of path lengths between nodes in the global network and estimation of parameters of that distribution is described. At particular, described the method of measurement of path length from node α to the node β with traceroute utility of the GNU/Linux system, and limitations on the selection of nodes α and β, imposed by traceroute. Measurements results are given and analyzed. Simulation model of this experiment was developed to test the experiment validity in the determination of distribution parameters in the global network. This model is also described. It is shown that the global network could not be described by Barabási- Albert model, but it could be described with some approximation by developed and proposed a pre-fractal model.

Shared libraries are one of the important part of Linux distribution ecosystems. One of biggest problem is to guarantee the ABI consistency in the package repository and while system updates as well. Shared library is described by its soname and contains exported symbols. To make a program work, dynamic linker should be able to load all needed shared library and resolve symbols used by the program. RPM packages have dependecies, installed system should have all installed packages with satisfied dependencies (i.e. it should not contain unmets). Same is true for package repositories: consistent one contains no unmets. During the package build rpm-build calculates needed and provided sonames for of packaged ELFs and this information is placed in package provided and required dependencies. But originally it did nothing to symbols that are exported or used by ELFs. Providing all this information in package dependencies would be too expensive. To keep information about ELF symbols in package dependencies, ALT Linux Team introduced new type of RPM dependency: set-versions, based on complementary hashing. It's a way to hash two sets R and P that it is able to check is R a subset of P. It was mainly developed by Alexey Tourbin in 2010. Set-версии Vladimir D. Seleznev
