How to Bring Hybrid Core into Web

admin — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 12:19:09 +0000

According to the usage statistics of user application from Microsoft, 60% of the time people spend on the PC is within the web browser. Google Chrome is a cross-platform web browser developed by Google based on Chromium project. According to StatCounter website stats, by January 2022, the market share of Chrome browser is over 63% across all platforms worldwide.

Hybrid core architecture combining high performance cores and power-efficient cores became more and more popular, especially after Intel launched the Alder Lake CPU product. Performance cores are designed to provide maximum compute performance, while efficient cores are designed for maximum power efficiency. Usually OS schedulers can manage hybrid core scheduling, but they lack details of application behaviors, like critical paths. It’s difficult for OS schedulers to cover all scenarios.

We come from the Web Optimization team, and focus on power and performance optimization for Web platforms, mainly Chromium, aiming for better user experience on IA. This article introduces our work to utilize hybrid core capability to schedule specific threads/processes’ execution in Chrome browser to efficient cores, which adopts dynamic policies to reduce power consumption on different levels based on device state. All the analysis and tests below are performed on the Chrome OS platform.

Overview

On the hybrid core platform, Chrome can schedule threads to efficient cores to save power consumption. However, putting browser threads on efficient cores all the time is impractical since lots of threads may surge and demand higher performance. So we propose a hybrid core scheduling technology in Chrome browser to apply dynamic throttles on specific non-critical threads through scheduling them to efficient cores to execute. The technology is based on Web runtime scenarios, like background/idle/ads/video, as the importance of threads would change in different scenarios. Moreover, device information, like battery/thermal status and hybrid core information, need to be exposed to Chrome. Based on them, hybrid core scheduling would apply different core allocation policies to balance power and performance. Normally we schedule low priority threads to efficient cores. But when the device is in a critical stage like running out of battery, the scheduling policy would be more aggressive to prolong device usage time. The application of scheduling policy relies on the OS support, and we can use thread priority or QoS mechanism according to the customs of the OS. On Chrome OS, currently we change thread priority and its cgroup association. Whole architecture of the proposal is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: hybrid core scheduling in Chrome browser

Implementation

The implementation of hybrid core scheduling technology mainly contains three parts, scenario detection, scheduling policy, and OS support work.

Scenario detection

First we need to determine the current scenario of a process based on inputs from various browser components. For example, the Chrome render process has a status about background state, which indicates whether the process is foreground or background scenario. For another example, Chrome has an Ad Tagging mechanism to detect ads and the resources they load in the browser. Ad Tagging works by matching resource requests against a filter list to determine if they’re ad requests. An iframe will be marked as an ad iframe if its url matches the filter list, if the tagged script is involved in the creation of the iframe, or if its parent frame is an ad iframe. If all frames are ad frames, the render process would be tagged as an ad process. The browser collects all these inputs and uses a prioritization mechanism to decide the overall mode for the process. Based on the scenario, we adopt an appropriate scheduling policy next.

Scheduling policy

The scheduling policy varies based on the device status. As shown in Figure 1, the browser will monitor the power status of the device via APIs provided by the OS, including the battery level, charging status and the thermal state. For hybrid core scheduling, two stages are defined below.

The first one is the normal stage, which means the battery level is over 20% or the device is charging, meanwhile the thermal state is normal. In this stage, the users care more about the performance than power consumption, so we only schedule low priority threads/processes to efficient cores, like the background processes or the threads handling low priority tasks such as logging/profiling.

The second one is the critical stage, which means the battery level is very low without charging, or the device is in critical thermal states, or the web developer explicitly wants to enter power saving mode, like using battery-savings meta tag. In this stage, we’re going to apply more aggressive policies to save more power, prolong device usage time or avoid thermal throttling due to high CPU temperature. Under this circumstance, many threads/processes in normal priority will be scheduled to efficient cores as long as they are not involved in UX critical tasks.

OS support work

There is some work required to be done to make Chrome utilize OS capability. Battery and thermal status are two important factors to UX. Based on them, Chrome could make appropriate policies to balance performance and power consumption. Previously, there was only battery status exposed to Chrome. Our team has landed a thermal status notification feature in Chrome. In the feature, we introduced 4 thermal levels: Nominal, Fair, Serious, and Critical referring to Apple’s Thermal Hinting API. So that Chrome can get the real-time thermal status. With battery level, charging and thermal status reported, Chrome would decide which stage to enter and apply different scheduling policies.

Furthermore, we have built a bridge between Chrome threads and efficient cores on Chrome OS using the existing cgroup mechanism. Background priority threads are placed in a specific cgroup, which has a specified CPU set. On hybrid core platforms, efficient cores are likely to be allocated for the group. So if we want to schedule unimportant threads to efficient cores to execute, we can lower the thread priority and put them in the non-urgent cgroup. The scheduling is dynamic. When the threads become important (e.g. switch to foreground), we would raise the thread priority to normal right away, hence remove from the specific cgroup.

Experiments

We use the local build Chromium browser to evaluate the power impact of hybrid core scheduling per each scenario, currently focusing on background renderer processes, ads processes, and idle processes (idle is a state defined in the Chrome RAIL model). According to the experiments performed on Alder Lake Chromebook, we observe 4.2% CPU package power reduction for web browsing when scheduling idle processes to efficient cores, and 3.8% CPU package power reduction when dispatching advertisement processes. At the same time, we use a 4-tab browsing workload to test the power impact of placing background processes on efficient cores, and see 0.9% CPU package power reduction. The power saving would be larger when the number of background tabs and page activities increase.

The experiment data shows that we achieve distinct power reduction by utilizing hybrid core capability in Chromium browser to schedule non-UX critical processes/threads to efficient cores in chosen scenarios, which helps extend device battery life.

Future Work

We will continue to explore more scenarios, which don’t demand high performance, and corresponding processes/threads can be scheduled to efficient cores. Besides, as for some scenarios like ads and idle, running on efficient cores might have performance impact, we are about to conduct performance evaluation soon and adjust the scheduling policy accordingly. Furthermore, we intend to extend our analysis and hybrid core scheduling optimization to Windows and Linux platforms.

WHAT TYPES OF BIOLOGICAL AND HEALTH EFFECTS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM 5G WIRELESS NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY?

admin — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 11:10:50 +0000

Wireless communications have been expanding globally at an exponential rate. The latest imbedded version of mobile networking technology is called 4G (fourth generation), and
the next version (called 5G – fifth generation) is in the early implementation stage. Neither 4G nor 5G have been tested for safety in credible real-life scenarios. Alarmingly, many of the
studies conducted in more benign environments show harmful effects from this radiation. The present article overviews the medical and biological studies that have been performed to date
relative to effects from wireless radiation, and shows why these studies are deficient relative to safety. However, even in the absence of the missing real-life components such as toxic
chemicals and biotoxins (which tend to exacerbate the adverse effects of the wireless radiation), the literature shows there is much valid reason for concern about potential adverse
health effects from both 4G and 5G technology. The studies on wireless radiation health effects reported in the literature should be viewed as extremely conservative, substantially underestimating the adverse impacts of this new technology.

The potential 5G adverse effects derive from the intrinsic nature of the radiation, and its interaction with tissue and target structures. 4G networking technology was associated mainly with carrier frequencies in the range of ~1-2.5 GHz (cell phones, WiFi). The wavelength of 1 GHz radiation is 30 cm, and the penetration depth in human tissue is a few centimeters. In its highest performance (high-band) mode, 5G networking technology is mainly associated with carrier frequencies at least an order of magnitude greater than the 4G frequencies, although, as stated previously, “ELFs (0–3000Hz) are always present in all telecommunication EMFs in the form of pulsing and modulation”.

Penetration depths for the carrier frequency component of high-band 5G wireless radiation will be on the order of a few millimeters. At these wavelengths, one can expect resonance phenomena with small-scale human structures. Additionally, numerical simulations of millimeter-wave radiation resonances with insects showed a general increase in absorbed RF power at and above 6 GHz, in comparison to the absorbed RF power below 6 GHz. A shift of 10% of the incident power density to frequencies above 6 GHz was predicted to lead to an increase in absorbed power between 3–370%.

The common ‘wisdom’ presented in the literature and media is that, if there are adverse impacts resulting from high-band 5G, the main impacts will be focused on near-surface phenomena, such as skin cancer, cataracts, and other skin conditions. However, there is evidence that biological responses to millimeter-wave irradiation can be initiated within the skin, and the subsequent systemic signaling in the skin can result in physiological effects on the nervous system, heart, and immune system.

Additionally, consider the following reference [Zalyubovskaya, 1977]. This is one of many translations of articles produced in the Former Soviet Union on wireless radiation (also, see
reviews of Soviet research on this topic by McRee [1979, 1980], Kositsky [2001], and Glaser and Dodge [1976]). On p. 57 of the pdf link, the article by Zalyubovskaya addresses biological effects of millimeter radiowaves. Zalyubovskaya ran experiments using power fluxes of 10,000,000 microwatts/square meter (the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) guideline limit for the general public today in the USA), and frequencies on the order of 60 GHz.

Not only was skin impacted adversely, but also heart, liver, kidney, spleen tissue as well, and blood and bone marrow properties. These results reinforce the conclusion of Russel (quoted above) that systemic results may occur from millimeter-wave radiation. To re-emphasize, for Zalyubovskaya’s experiments, the incoming signal was unmodulated carrier frequency only, and the experiment was single stressor only. Thus, the expected real-world results (when human beings are impacted, the signals are pulsed and modulated, and there is exposure to many toxic stimuli) would be far more serious and would be initiated at lower (perhaps much lower) wireless radiation power fluxes.

The Zalyubovskaya paper was published in 1977. The referenced version was classified in 1977 by USA authorities and declassified in 2012. What national security concerns caused it (and the other papers in the linked pdf reference) to be classified for 35 years, until declassification in 2012? Other papers on this topic with similar findings were published in the USSR (and the USA) at that time, or even earlier, but many never saw the light of day, both in the USSR and the USA. It appears that the potentially damaging effects of millimeter-wave radiation on the skin (and other major systems in the body) have been recognized for well over forty years, yet today’s discourse only revolves around the possibility of modest potential effects on the skin and perhaps cataracts from millimeter-wave wireless radiation.

As Ransomware Threats Continue To Evolve, Containing Attacks Before They Escalate Is A Must

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 08:30:25 +0000

“That’s a nice business you’ve got. It would be a shame if anything was to happen to it!” That, in a nutshell, is the classic gangster’s extortion pitch: fleecing victims for their hard-earned money by threatening that something terrible will befall their livelihood if they don’t stump up the cash.

In the modern world, such threats have changed form. While there are most likely still real-world protection rackets that operate like this, many attackers have embraced the digital world to operate a cyber version of this scam; leveraging the importance of a target’s data as a way of bilking money out of them.

This is what is known as a ransomware attack. A classic ransomware attack refers to a type of cyber attack in which attackers break into computer systems and encrypt key files, which the user must then cough up money to regain access to. When the ransom is paid, the attackers send access to a decryption key which restores access to the files. If the money is not forthcoming, the files remain permanently locked and inaccessible. Defending against attacks such as ransomware is a key reason why the use of security measures like risk analytics are so essential for organizations.

Evolving forms of ransomware

Traditional ransomware attacks are bad enough. But more recently there has been a new type of attack, referred to as a double jeopardy ransomware attack. In a double jeopardy attack, the overall trajectory of the ransomware attack remains the same: Malware is used to infect a computer system, prior to the encryption taking place, and the extortion notice sent to the victim. The “double jeopardy” part refers to the fact that the ransomware software isn’t simply used to encrypt files, but also to steal that data and send it to off-site servers. Victims do not know where the data has been sent or, in many cases, which data has been stolen from them. However, the threat comes from the fact that it’s not simply about a victim losing access to their personal data, but also the risk that this data could be uploaded to the Dark Web, sent to rival organizations, or otherwise abused in a way designed to cause damage. This adds an extra incentive to targets paying the ransom demanded of them.

Buoyed by this new spin on cyber attacks, overall ransomware attacks have surged. According to recent data, ransomware attacks rose by a massive 288 percent between Q1 and Q2 2021. Many of these attacks involved data theft. The problem of ransomware has become so bad that, in late August, the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an official warning about the threat of ransomware and when it is likely to strike. Large numbers of these attacks are timed for points in the year when security may be at its most lax, the same way that burglars may target a house when its occupants are on vacation, at work, or asleep.

For example, a Kaseya supply chain attack targeted at Managed Service Providers (MSPs) took place on the July 4 “Independence Day” weekend in the United States. casino888 Meanwhile other recent cyber attacks — such as one on America’s largest meat processor — took place on public holidays like the Memorial Day weekend. In all cases, the goal of attackers is to cause as much chaos as possible at a time when defences may be at their weakest.

Protecting against attack

Ransomware attacks are not the only form of cyber attacks that exist, of course — even if they are becoming increasingly commonplace in 2021 due to their potential for monetizing a target’s misery in a way that is tougher to achieve through other forms of cyber attack.

What many contemporary cyber attacks have in common is that they attempt to exfiltrate sensitive data which can then be abused. To safeguard against this, organizations must make sure that they have protective tools in place to protect against data theft. Continuous visibility is essential to paint an accurate picture of who is accessing data at any given moment, as well as what it is that they are doing with it. قمار الخيل

As cyber attacks continue to evolve, and there are new requirements from users concerning access to data, organizations must be ready to step up. العاب كازينو مجانية Data risk analytics can help identify this information by applying advanced big data analytics to activity as a way to spot troubling developing patterns that require investigation. Faster mitigation of risk and incidence response is a “must have” in the modern cyber security landscape.

Thanks to measures such as these, as well as other protective solutions that can help lock down sensitive data and safeguard against attacks, both users and organizations can protect themselves against the worst that cyber attackers have to throw at them. It’s an investment that every organization should take incredibly seriously.

How to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 for free

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 09:07:22 +0000

Microsoft’s New Slim Pen 2 With Haptics

admin — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 12:09:21 +0000

Microsoft has refreshed its Slim Pen to magnetically fit into the Surface Pro 8’s keyboard. Notably, the Slim Pen 2 has a custom chip called Microsoft G6 and haptic functionality that aims to make writing and drawing feel more realistic. Microsoft says that it’s extending the haptic tech to work in several apps, and it showcased the stylus being used in Adobe Photoshop. The artist on display claimed that its sharper tip makes it easier to use and more responsive. It can work with every product announced today, including the Surface Pro 8, the Surface Go 3, the Pro X, and the Surface Duo 2 via its pen cover. It can attach magnetically to the side of the new Surface Laptop Studio.

Microsoft says the Slim Pen 2 offers increased accuracy and “incredible” shading. The most notable new feature in the $129.99 Slim Pen 2 is the haptic functionality that aims to make writing and drawing feel more realistic. Additionally, the hardware feature can send tactile signals when you use gestures in supported apps. In Microsoft Word, for example, you’ll feel a vibration when you’ve scribbled through a word to delete, or circled text to select or highlight it. We’ll see how widely this is adopted soon enough, but regardless, it’s a good idea — especially from an accessibility standpoint.

This clever haptic feature will only work on select devices, including the new Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop Studio that run Windows 11. Though, it’s compatible with a wide range of Surface devices old and new, as well as devices that support the Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP).

Here’s the full list of compatible products:

Surface Laptop Studio
Surface Pro 3 to Pro 8
Surface Pro X
Surface Duo, Duo 2
Surface Go, Surface Go 2, Surface Go 3
Surface Hub 2S
Surface Laptop 1 to 4
Surface Studio 1, 2
Surface Book 1 to 3
Non-Surface devices that support Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP)

The Slim Pen 2 supports Bluetooth 5.0, and Microsoft says that it can last up to 15 hours per charge. As for how it charges, there are multiple ways. There will be a charger that’s sold separately, and the Slim Pen 1 USB-C charging base will soon receive an update to be able to charge this new one. In addition, it can charge wirelessly while magnetically attached to the Surface Pro Signature Keyboard, to the side of the Surface Laptop Studio, or with the Surface Duo 2’s pen cover. Microsoft says the Surface Slim Pen 2 is available for preorder starting today for $129.99.

Microsoft had on Tuesday, the 31^st of August 2021 intimated the public its plans to roll out Windows 11 on the 5^th of October 2021, in a free upgrade of its operating system available for hardware that works with Windows 11 pre-loaded and other eligible Window 10 personal computers.

Windows 11 will be available as a free update to existing Windows 10 users – although some devices will not have the right specifications. These include a minimum of 64 gigabytes of storage and 4 gigabytes of RAM.

“We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022. If you have a Windows 10 PC that’s eligible for the upgrade, Windows Update will let you know when it’s available,” says Panos Panay.
