He believes Mechanical Sympathy - applying an understanding of the hardware to the creation of software - is fundamental to delivering elegant, high-performance, solutions.

Here, Martin explains his perspectives on high performance computing (and coding), when to go native versus managed (Can you really write super fast, highly machine-optimized code in Java and .NET? Martin does...). This is a long conversation and well worth your time if performant execution is important to you - yes, the irony of a long chat about highly performant computing doesn't escape me. Smiley

Given that this is a C9 conversation, we take various detours into more topics than the title suggests. Tune in.

Thanks, Martin, for taking the time to ride tandem with the random.

Kinect for Processing Library

The Kinect for Processing library is a Java wrapper of the Kinect for Windows SDK 1.5. And it of course, runs in Windows platform. At this moment, I have only tested in Windows 7. The following 4 functions are implemented. All images at this moment are 640 x 480.

  • Obtain the RGB image from the Kinect camera.
  • Obtain the depth image from the Kinect camera.
  • Align the RGB image with the depth image.
  • Obtain player and skeleton information.

Microsoft Kinect for Java and Eclipse in Jnect

An area where we find a high degree of innovation is in the way we communicate with computers and other electronic devices. Touch displays are almost a must-have for mobiles and speech control could be the next big thing in this area. Looking at the games market, every major player has a device allowing users to control games and even media features, using gestures instead of gamepads.

Microsoft Kinect is an example of such a device. Its cameras enable the tracking of a moving human body and provide this information to the Xbox 360 to interact with the game. For example, if the player jumps in the real world, its avatar in the game will also perform a jump. The precise tracking of Kinect also enables the control of more serious features, for example the selection of a movie to be watched. Additionally, Kinect is able to understand spoken commands using speech recognition.

Obviously, this technology could be used for more than controlling the Xbox. Microsoft has published an SDK for Windows, providing programmatic access to the data provided by the Kinect device. This opens the potential use cases for Kinect to almost any kind of application.

However, the SDK requires the programmer to write the application in C++/C# to access the SDK, and to date, there has been no support for Java. Jnect bridges this gap and creates interoperability between the Microsoft SDK and the Java world. The project provides an Eclipse plugin which uses JNI to connect with the Microsoft Kinect SDK. The plugin provides a Java API to use selected features offered by the original Microsoft SDK (see below).

jnect

This project provides an Eclipse Plug-In interoperating with the Microsoft Kinect SDK. This way you can create applications using the body tracking and speech abilities of the Kinect using Java and Eclipse RCP. As we provide a JNI wrapper for the original SDK, it needs to be installed, which currently requires Windows 7

Latest Release

The latest version of Jnect is 0.2.0. You can download it from here.

Release Notes

Prerequisites:

New Features:

  • Support for Kinect for Windows SDK version 1.5
  • IBodyProvider-Extension Point added. KinectManager can retrieve Body-Objects from implementing plugins.
  • New EMFStore-Recording/Replaying demo using the BodyProvider-Extension Point. The movement will be recorded and can be replayed using EMFStore.
  • New Speech Control Demo. Eclipse can be controlled by speech saying the Eclipse-Commands out loud.
  • New GEF-Diagram Editing Demo. Shows the possibility to edit GEF-diagrams (here an edited example from the GEF-SDK) using the Kinect bodytracking.

He's passionate about solving hard problems - like writing scalable concurrent software systems. His session at YOW! - Tackling the Folklore Surrounding High Performance Computing - was excellent. You'll be able to see it online in the near future, so look for it on the YOW! site.

Martin is a Java and C++ developer and employs an analog design methodology to his digital development efforts. He thinks through the conceptual design and paints a detailed picture of the solution, then he writes code. Many developers do this, of course, but sometimes we don't think through the problem thoroughly enough before we start writing code. This is especially true when it comes to solving hard problems of a concurrent computing nature.

To Martin, the concurrency problem is as much a developer methodology, educational and behavioral problem as it is a pure technological one. We talk about this, of course. His perspectives on the subject are refreshing.

Tune in. Enjoy. Learn.

Thanks for joining us on C9, Martin. Keep pushing the envelope.

In this interview, Scott Price (CEO) and Roger Campbell (CTO) explain the process they went through while migrating their Java solution to Windows Azure, and how their company – CustomerCentrix – has benefited from using the Platform-as-a-Service offering from Microsoft.

About LoadStorm

LoadStorm is a web-based load testing tool for simulating what users do with a web site or web application. ISVs use it to build tests that send requests to your server in the same way that a user's browser sends requests to your server.  These tests are executed by LoadStorm's automated systems rather than by a user, and can be done repeatedly and in large numbers simultaneously. The tests can also be built using the LoadStorm tool in such a way as to simulate a large number of different users with different tasks to perform.

Customers get working code on multiple platforms and vendors catch bugs and test interoperability issues in an open manner.
The first version “M1” of the Stock Trader sample application showcased the main Web Services standards, including WS-Security.
Today, we are glad to announce the availability of Stonehenge “M2”, the second iteration, now including WS-Trust 1.4 and WS-FED 1.1 protocols for claims-based authentication scenarios. This allows the end-users’ to be authenticated through an independent Security Token Service (STS) that is trusted by the bank and to pass that token to the broker to process the transaction.

In this video, Kent Brown (Product Manager, Microsoft) and Kamaljit Bath (Principal Program Manager, Microsoft) introduce Stonehenge and present an actual demo of the M2 release.

You can download the M1 and M2 releases of Apache Stonehenge from http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/stonehenge and the documentation is up on the wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STONEHENGE/Index

Domino’s is one of the largest ecommerce site out there. In 2009, Domino’s hit over 20 Million online transactions. That is one heck of a lot of pizza! As you can imagine Domino’s uses a ton of interesting technology in order to be able to scale to those kinds of levels.

Availability is a critical requirement here as they only have a small window to take a order. When a Domino’s customer is hungry and ready to place the order you had better be ready to take that order. If the site is not available they’ll go elsewhere and that order is lost.

As Jim states, Domino’s is a business of peaks. They have rushes every day (dinner). they have peak days of the week (Fridays) and they have peak days of the year (e.g. Super Bowl). Within about an hour on that one day of the year (i.e. Super Bowl Sunday) Domino’s has a peak that’s about 50% higher than any other day of the year.

If you think that through, you’ll realize that, although Domino’s has to provision capacity to be able to handle the very highest peak in traffic, a huge percentage of the time much of Domino’s computing infrastructure is running idle.

Clearly there is a huge benefit to optimizing computing capacity while being able handle peak demand and innovate on new products and capabilities. Domino’s is looking to Windows Azure to help them with that as they port their ecommerce solution.

Jim walked me through the Domino’s Build your Own Pizza app. It’s interesting to note it was running on Tomcat and written in Java all hosted in Windows Azure. That’s a clear testament that Windows Azure is as interoperable as Windows Server.

Jim’s main concern when building out this solution was that they remain portable. They expect to be able to run the same code in their own data centers or Windows Azure. Windows Azure allowed them to use the Java skills, tooling and infrastructure they were using in their own data center.

Domino’s menus, product availability and pricing of their pizzas is done locally based on the neighborhood of the store you’re ordering from. As a result when you build a pizza online it has to query the local store to provide you with the correct price you’ll pay before you order. They use Service Bus (now known as AppFabric) to get the orders to the stores and pricing back from the store. Eventually that will also provide the information required for their Pizza Tracker app.

We reported the progress made on the Stonehenge project and presented the roadmap. 

The goal of Stonehenge is to provide a public forum to test the interoperability of WS-* protocols on different vendor stacks and to build sample applications that could provide best practices and coding guidelines for better interoperability. The main sample application, StockTrader has been implemented on .NET (by Microsoft), PHP (by WSO2), WSAS JAVA stack (by WSO2), Metro (by SUN Microsystems), Spring (by SpringSource). The latest version of StockTrader uses the WS-Security and WS-Trust protocols for claims-based authentication scenarios. This allows the end-users to be authenticated through an independent Security Token Service (STS) that is trusted by the bank and to pass that token to the broker to process the transaction.

This week at PDC09, we were demoing the project. I went to see Kent Brown, product manager for WCF and asked him to give us an update and show a demo of the different StockTrader applications working together.
