A journey into forgotten Null Session and MS-RPC interfaces (PDF)

Reason to be cheerful. Some org (I believe Riverside Park Conservancy - RPC) is addressing the japanese knotweed and hops infestation on the slope between the North River Wastewater Resource Recovery facility (WRRF formerly WWTP) and the Amtrak. Yes. east side of the Hudson River Greenway.
AND RPC is conducting an invaluable northern Manhattan Riverside Park initiative.

VAMP: Visual Analytics for Microservices Performance
Analysis of microservices' performance is a considerably challenging task due to the multifaceted nature of these systems. Each request to a microservices system might raise several Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to services deployed on different servers and/or containers. Existing distributed tracing tools leverage swimlane visualizations as the primary means to support performance analysis of microservices. These visualizations are particularly effective when it is needed to investigate indivi…

NotNets: Accelerating Microservices by Bypassing the Network
Remote procedure calls are the workhorse of distributed systems. However, as software engineering trends, such as micro-services and serverless computing, push applications towards ever finer-grained decompositions, the overhead of RPC-based communication is becoming too great to bear. In this paper, we argue that point solutions that attempt to optimize one aspect of RPC logic are unlikely to mitigate these ballooning communication costs. Rather, we need a dramatic reappraisal of how we provid…

Relay Mining: Incentivizing Full Non-Validating Nodes Servicing All RPC Types
Relay Mining presents a scalable solution employing probabilistic mechanisms, crypto-economic incentives, and new cryptographic primitives to estimate and prove the volume of Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) made from a client to a server. Distributed ledgers are designed to secure permissionless state transitions (writes), highlighting a gap for incentivizing full non-validating nodes to service non-transactional (read) RPCs. This leads applications to have a dependency on altruistic or centraliz…

Preprocessed GMRES for fast solution of linear equations
The article mainly introduces preprocessing algorithms for solving linear equation systems. This algorithm uses three algorithms as inner iterations, namely RPCG algorithm, ADI algorithm, and Kaczmarz algorithm. Then, it uses BA-GMRES as an outer iteration to solve the linear equation system. These three algorithms can indirectly generate preprocessing matrices, which are used for solving equation systems. In addition, we provide corresponding convergence analysis and numerical examples. Throug…

Decentralized AI: Permissionless LLM Inference on POKT Network
POKT Network's decentralized Remote Procedure Call (RPC) infrastructure, surpassing 740 billion requests since launching on MainNet in 2020, is well-positioned to extend into providing AI inference services with minimal design or implementation modifications. This litepaper illustrates how the network's open-source and permissionless design aligns incentives among model researchers, hardware operators, API providers and users whom we term model Sources, Suppliers, Gateways and Applications resp…
