Hallo/Hello *, <English follow Dutch> We hebben twee afgevaardigden van bedrijven binnenkort op bezoek bij Nikhef en willen jullie hierbij uitnodigen voor een technisch onderonsje. 1.) SafeNet / B-Able We hebben sindskort een samenwerking (maar nog niet publiek) met SafeNet (via B-Able) met betrekking tot eTokens en het via Nikhef kunnen 'vrij' gebruiken van de drivers voor educatieve toepassingen voor de eTokens. Via deze gesprekken hebben we wat meer gehoord over SafeNet's appliances, waaronder de High Speed Line Encrypters. Deze kunnen transparant voor de netwerk gebruikers 10Gbit verbinding encrypten. Titel: High Speed Line Encrypters van SafeNet Datum/tijd: 7 december, aanvang 11:00uur Locatie: Nikhef, N.3.28 Spreker: Giles Townly (Safenet UK) Taal: English 2.) Palo Alto Networks Palo Alto Networks maakt (o.a.) high performance policy based firewalls en IDS systemen die transparant het netwerk verkeer kan monitoren op >10Gbit en garandeert slechts een microseconde latency toe te voegen. Namens Palo Alto komt de CTO (en oprichter) van Palo Alto Networks om te vertellen wat ze zoal te bieden hebben. Titel: Palo Alto Networks Datum/tijd: 19 december 2011, aanvang 12:45 uur, van 13:00 uur tot 15:00 uur. Locatie: Nikhef, H.3.31 Spreker: Nir Zuk (Palo Alto Network, CTO) Taal: English ---- Einde Nederlands ---- Begin English ---- Two people from different companies will visit Nikhef en we're inviting you to join us in a technical get-together about the technology they offer. 1.) SafeNet / B-Able Nikhef started a collaboration with SafeNet (via the company B-Able) to be able to use their official drivers for eTokens for educational purposes. SafeNet offers a variety security appliances of which one type is a line of High Speed Line Encrypters. These appliances can transparently encrypt 10Gbits of network traffic. Titel: High Speed Line Encrypters van SafeNet Datum/tijd: 7 december, aanvang 11:00uur, tot uiterlijk 13:00 uur Locatie: Nikhef, N.3.28 Spreker: Giles Townly (Safenet UK) Taal: English 2.) Palo Alto Networks Palo Alto Networks is the maker of (among other things) high performance policy based firewalls and IDS systems that can transparently monitor network links >10Gbit and guarantees only a microsecond of added latency. Palo Alto Networks is represented by their CTO (and founder) to tell us more about what they can offer. Titel: Palo Alto Networks Datum/tijd: 19 december 2011, aanvang 12:45 uur, van 13:00 uur tot 15:00 uur. Locatie: Nikhef, H.3.31 Spreker: Nir Zuk (Palo Alto Network, CTO) Taal: English I hope to see in one of these talks. Oscar

[Ct-grid] Lecture: Large-scale data processing with Hadoop MapReduce
by Evert Lammerts 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Who: Dr. Jimmy Lin, University of Maryland, When: 2 December 2011, 11.00 - 12.00 Where: Amolf, 2nd floor, Science Park 104, Amsterdam Directions: http://www.amolf.nl/about-amolf/visitor/#c42 Register for this lecture at http://bghadoop.eventbrite.com/. Feel free to redistribute! Our capacity is limited to 65 registrants, so be sure to register in time. BiG Grid and Amsterdam Information Retrieval (AIR) present a guest lecture by Dr. Jimmy Lin on the processing of large datasets using the open-source MapReduce implementation Apache Hadoop. If you are curious to see how Hadoop can help you with your processing needs, and are not afraid of some technical examples, then this should be a helpful and interesting talk for you. Jimmy received his Ph.D. at MIT and is an associate professor at the University of Maryland, holding several positions. He is currently on sabbatical at Twitter. Jimmy is author of the book 'Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce', the most exhaustive source of information on MapReduce currently available. (See http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/book.html) Apache Hadoop is an open source data-processing framework that is able to leverage the power of very large clusters of commodity computers. It's today's most widely used software for distributed data processing and provides a rich ecosystem of related tools, together with a large, enthusiastic, and helpful developer community. It has been used to win the 2009 edition of Jim Gray's Sort benchmark, and it is the processing framework powering Watson, IBM's supercomputer that won the game-show Jeopardy earlier this year. BiG Grid and SARA offer access to a prototype Apache Hadoop service to scientists in The Netherlands, and will have a production-level service ready by the first quarter of 2012. This production service will offer more than 500 cores of processing power, and 500 terabytes of storage capacity, and will be made available for all scientists in The Netherlands. For more information contact us at evert.lammerts(a)sara.nl.
