Extractions: Abstract To improve the efficiency of airport security screening, the FAA deployed the Computer Assisted Passenger Screening system (CAPS) in 1999. CAPS attempts to identify potential terrorists through the use of profiles so that security personnel can focus the bulk of their attention on high-risk individuals. In this paper, we show that since CAPS uses profiles to select passengers for increased scrutiny, it is actually less secure than systems that employ random searches. In particular, we present an algorithm called Carnival Booth that demonstrates how a terrorist cell can defeat the CAPS system. Using a combination of statistical analysis and computer simulation, we evaluate the efficacy of Carnival Booth and illustrate that CAPS is an ineffective security measure. Based on these findings, we argue that CAPS should not be legally permissible since it does not satisfy court-interpreted exemptions to the Fourth Amendment. Finally, based both on our analysis of CAPS and historical case studies, we provide policy recommendations on how to improve air security.

Extractions: kernprof Overview News FAQ Mailing List How To Contribute ... Linux Documentation Project Kernprof (Kernel Profiling) This page describes Kernprof, a set of facilities for profiling the Linux kernel. It consists of a kernel patch that implements a number of profiling data collection mechanisms, as well as a device driver for controlling them, plus the user level command kernprof that allows a user to configure and control the kernel profiling facilities. At this time it also includes a small gcc patch that is necessary to build correct i386 kernels when profiling is compiled in (see the FAQ for details). To use the kernel profiler, download and apply the kernel patch as normal to your linux source tree. Version 0.11 patches the 2.4.16 and 2.4.17 kernels, and version 0.12 patches the 2.4.19, 2.4.18, 2.5.3, 2.5.8, 2.5.10, and 2.5.17 kernels. Patches are also available against various earlier kernel versions (found in the download/old subdirectory). This patch supports the following architectures: i386, ia64, sparc64, and mips64. Version 0.12 of the kernel patch requires the use of the kernprof command version 1.5; version 0.11 of the kernel patch requires the use of kernprof command version 1.4; version 0.10 of the kernel patch requires the use of kernprof command version 1.3. The earlier version 0.9.x requires the use of kernprof command version 1.2.x. $ cd linux

Xdebug: Documentation - Profiler The first step in profiling your code is enabling of the profiler, which will makeXdebug time all subsequent function calls, thus creating a pool of data from http://www.xdebug.org/docs-profiling.php
Extractions: Xdebug's Profiler is a powerful tool that gives you the ability to analyze your PHP code and determine bottlenecks or generally see which parts of your code are slow and could use a speed boost. The profiler offers a number of output modes, that are suited for a variety of tasks when analyzing code. Thus allowing you to select the output that would be most suited for your needs. Even output itself can be retrieved in number of ways to allow for maximum flexibility. STARTING THE PROFILER The first step in profiling your code is enabling of the profiler, which will make Xdebug time all subsequent function calls, thus creating a pool of data from which the reports can be generated. This can be accomplished in two ways, via the use of the function, which will begin profiling code from that point on, this is particularly useful when you have very large script and you only want to profile a particular portion of the script you suspect to be slow. This function has a single optional parameter that allows you to specify the file where the profiling data will be written to. The other way to enable to profiler, is via the xdebug.auto_profile ini option that should be set to 'On' or '1', this will automatically start the profiler upon PHP initialization. The one advantage of this method is that it will allow you to use the profiler without having to modify any of your PHP code as described in the automatic profiling section GENERATING RETRIEVING OUTPUT

CLR This technology preview contains the beginnings of several big changes to the Profiling API, and we'd love to hear what you think about them. I hope to post some preliminary documentation soon, but in the meantime let me give you a quick summary of what's new and hopefully you can make progress just from what you already know about the existing profiling API plus the comments in corprof.idl. Please post any questions, suggestions, and feedback you have to the microsoft.private.whidbey.clr newsgroup. For the profiling API we're interested in hearing not only your feedback about the new features or bugs that are blocking you from using the new features, but also your feedback about what's changed from the v1.1 release to now. If you notice differences from v1.1 to now that are not listed below, they may be bugs, so please report them. In-process Debugging The first thing you'll notice is that in-process debugging is gone BeginInprocDebugging and friends return E_NOTIMPL. In response to overwhelming feedback from folks like you, we realized the original design wasn't living up to expectations, and as a result have replaced it with something that's more integrated with how the rest of the profiling API works.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) A study has found that nearly three out of four Massachusetts police departments engaged in racial profiling of minority drivers, prompting the state to launch a probe. The Northeastern University study, released Tuesday, was commissioned four years ago by the Legislature and included 366 departments from cities and towns and the state police, to university, state transit and Amtrak police agencies. Just 92 got a passing grade. Public Safety Secretary Edward A. Flynn warned against condemning departments that failed until more information can be gathered. The study caused the state to order 249 departments to collect a year's worth of data on all traffic stops. "We are not today finding any agency guilty of having engaged in racial profiling," he said. "Data collection is not punishment."

According to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), passengers who appear to be Muslim or Middle Eastern have been removed from planes on several occasions. The atmosphere hearkens back to the pre-civil rights era, said Joshua Salaam, civil rights coordinator for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has received more than two dozen reports of airline-related racial profiling, mostly targeting males. Vahid Zohrehvandi, a Dallas software developer on his way home from Seattle, said he was reading his paper aboard an American Airlines plane when an airline employee approached him with a passenger manifest and told him to grab his belongings and get off the plane.

Profiling The Profilers profiling the profilers By By Laurence Vanhelsuwé A comparativereview of three commercial Java code profilers. odern software http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2003/jw-0822-profiler.html
Extractions: Page 1 of 4 Advertisement Performance's proverbial tip of the iceberg consists of the subjective, user-tangible perception of program speed and responsiveness. If we temporarily eliminate the user from the equation, then we can equate performance with the sum effect of objective performance facets such as algorithm choice, overall memory usage, object allocation and de-allocation dynamics, and multithreading design and runtime behavior. Helping you to understand your program's dynamic behavior in these select dimensions is the burdensome job of code profilers. In this article, I look at three commercial Java profilers and determine which ones come close to satisfying your, and my, needs: Profiler basics

Extractions: Advertisement November 8, 2002 How do you determine CPU usage in Java? So, here is the good news and the bad news. The bad news is that programmatically querying for CPU usage is impossible using pure Java. There is simply no API for this. A suggested alternative might use to determine the JVM's process ID (PID), call an external, platform-specific command like ps , and parse its output for the PID of interest. But, this approach is fragile at best. The good news, however, is that a reliable solution can be accomplished by stepping outside Java and writing a few C code lines that integrate with the Java application via Java Native Interface (JNI). I show below how easy it is by creating a simple JNI library for the Win32 platform. The Resources section contains a link to the library you can customize for your own needs and port to other platforms.
