For a Lightning Talk\, you don 't need to make slides\, and if you do decide to make slides\, you only ne ed to make three. \n \nMaybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up\, at least the painful part wi ll be over quickly. \n \nMaybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or invite people to help you with your project\, or boast about something you did\, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about\, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes. \n \nMaybe you have a lot of things to say\, and you're already going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't want to hog the spotlight. There's nothing wro ng with giving several Lightning Talks. Hey\, they're only five minutes. \ n \nOn the other side\, people might want to come to a lightning talk when they wouldn't come to a long talk on the same subject. The risk for the a ttendees is smaller: If the talk turns out to be dull\, or if the person g iving the talk turns out to be a really bad speaker\, well\, at least it's over in five minutes. With lightning talks\, you're never stuck in some b oring lecture for forty-five minutes. \n \nStill having trouble picking a topic\, here are some suggestions: \n \n 1. Why my favorite module is X. \n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyone want to help? \n 3. Su ccessful Project: I did project X. It was a success. Here's how you could benefit. \n 4. Failed Project: I did project X. It was a failure\, and h ere's why. \n 5. Heresy: People always say X\, but they're wrong. Here's why. \n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong with the our community. \ n 7. Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X. \n 8. Wouldn' t it be cool if X? \n 9. Someone needs to do X. \n 10. Wish List \n 11 . Why X was a mistake. \n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\, but isn't. \n 13. What it's like to do X. \n 14. Here's a useful technique that worked . \n 15. Here's a technique I thought would be useful but didn't work. \n 16. Why algorithm X sucks. \n 17. Comparison of algorithms X and Y. \n \nOf course\, you could give the talk on anything you wanted\, whether or not it is on this list. If we get a full schedule of nothing but five min utes of ranting and raving on each topic\, a good time will still be had b y most.

Applications that need to process millions of smal l units of work in parallel can use the Helios system to scale this work a cross the multiple processes and servers that form a Helios collective. H elios may also be used to improve the user experience on websites. By uti lizing the framework's asynchronous job processing services\, potential ti meout issues can be eliminated and response times decreased for larger tas ks invoked in response to user input. The web server application can "fir e and forget" in the background\, immediately returning control to the use r. Using Helios\, simple Perl applications can be written to distribute w orkloads throughout the Helios collective while still retaining centralize d management. \n \nThe Helios package is freely available on CPAN under th e same licensing terms as Perl itself. It is built on a free/open source software foundation\, including Perl\, TheSchwartz\, and MySQL. The Helio s framework builds on the excellent TheSchwartz job queue library to form a system designed to handle generalized processing needs. Helios's API co ntains functions that provide logging\, centralized configuration\, and pr ocess control. Because of its generic underpinnings\, it should run on mo st *nix-like operating systems to which Perl has been ported. To date it has been tested successfully on several GNU/Linux distributions\, includin g Debian Etch and Ubuntu\, and even Apple Mac OS X. \n \nWith the Helios f ramework\, developers define worker classes to accomplish specialized task s. These are written in Perl and implement the functionality of a particu lar job type. The Helios API provides functions to perform logging\, to p arse XML-formatted job arguments\, to access configuration parameters\, an d to manage processes. This API also defines a set of basic exception cla sses to signal processing failures and warnings. There are several run m odes available to enable the caching of data\, database connections\, and other resources. This enables their use across multiple jobs. Once a wor ker class has been created\, it can be loaded by Helios daemons on as many systems as necessary. Helios daemons manage available processes for a pa rticular worker class\, launching new worker processes as necessary to han dle jobs submitted to the system. Jobs may be submitted via an HTTP POST request or from the command line. \n \nHelios also includes a web interfac e that provides a central point of control for all of the workers and jobs in the system. This web interface can be used to track jobs through the system and manage workloads on a per worker class and per host basis. Ava ilable workers may be increased or decreased as necessary\, tuned to match available resources. Worker classes may be brought online\, or taken off line\, independently. Similarly\, hosts may be added or taken out of the collective without affecting other Helios hosts. \n \nHelios is a flexible solution for distributed job processing. It provides a framework where a pplications may be deployed across multiple servers\, running multiple job s in parallel. Because of its flexibility\, users can create Helios appli cations easily and deploy them to a server farm or small "cloud" of machin es\, while at the same time centrally manage their workload processing via its web interface.

Knuth investigates a number of NP-complete problems that can be treated jointly as "exact cover problems". This pape r discusses options for implementing Knuth's algorithm in Perl. An alterna tive way of representing the boolean matrix that represents the search spa ce in its stepwise reduced form is proposed and compared by running variou s tests. \n \nOne application of this algorithm deals with pentominoes whe re the classic problems is defined by the 12 pentominos in all distinct tr ansformations being placed on all possible squares of the area to be cover ed. (Typical areas are the rectangles: 6x10\, 5x12\, 4x15 and 3+20\, and 8 x8 squares reduced by 4 unit squares.) A simple Perl/Tk canvas produces ni ce images. \n \nAs the algorithm does not make any assumptions the coverin g pieces\, also three (or more) dimensional covering problems may be attac ked. The Soma cube (invented by Piet Hein) is the other problem used for i llustrating the algorithms. \n \nIt has to be admitted that this class of problems is hard on Perl\, which is\, after all\, an interpreted language. Nevertheless\, it pays to investigate an algorithm like this with Perl\, where both procedural and object oriented paradigms can be applied to inve stigate algorithmic variants.

For a Lightning Talk\, you don't need to make slides\, and if you do deci de to make slides\, you only need to make three. \n \nMaybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up \, at least the painful part will be over quickly. \n \nMaybe you don't ha ve much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or invite people t o help you with your project\, or boast about something you did\, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talki ng about\, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thir ty minutes. \n \nMaybe you have a lot of things to say\, and you're alread y going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't want to hog the spotlight. There's nothing wrong with giving several Lightning Talks. Hey \, they're only five minutes. \n \nOn the other side\, people might want t o come to a lightning talk when they wouldn't come to a long talk on the s ame subject. The risk for the attendees is smaller: If the talk turns out to be dull\, or if the person giving the talk turns out to be a really bad speaker\, well\, at least it's over in five minutes. With lightning talks \, you're never stuck in some boring lecture for forty-five minutes. \n \n Still having trouble picking a topic\, here are some suggestions: \n \n 1. Why my favorite module is X. \n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyone want to help? \n 3. Successful Project: I did project X. It was a success. Here's how you could benefit. \n 4. Failed Project: I did proj ect X. It was a failure\, and here's why. \n 5. Heresy: People always sa y X\, but they're wrong. Here's why. \n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong with the our community. \n 7. Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X. \n 8. Wouldn't it be cool if X? \n 9. Someone needs to do X. \n 10. Wish List \n 11. Why X was a mistake. \n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\, but isn't. \n 13. What it's like to do X. \n 14. Here's a useful technique that worked. \n 15. Here's a technique I thought woul d be useful but didn't work. \n 16. Why algorithm X sucks. \n 17. Compar ison of algorithms X and Y. \n \nOf course\, you could give the talk on a nything you wanted\, whether or not it is on this list. If we get a full s chedule of nothing but five minutes of ranting and raving on each topic\, a good time will still be had by most.
