Privid is a new system that provides better privacy in video footage from surveillance cameras. The system, developed out of MIT CSAIL, lets analysts submit video data queries, and adds a bit of noise to the end result to ensure an individual can’t be identified.
Research from Carnegie Mellon University may soon help Twitter run faster and more efficiently.
Juncheng Yang, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science, and Rashmi Vinayak, an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department, worked with Yao Yue from Twitter to develop Segcache to make better use of DRAM cache. We performed a large-scale study on how items were stored and accessed in the cache, and based on our research, we developed a system to make better use of the precious cache space, Yang said. This could potentially allow Twitter to reduce the largest cache cluster size by 60%.
The team s research won the Community Award for being one of the best papers at last month s USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation.
