During the first presentation, Milosz Marian Hulboj gave an update of the CINBAD (CERN Investigation of Network Bahavior Anomaly Detection) project, a collaborative activity between CERN and HP ProCurve. After having exposed the motivation for using the Time Series Data Mining, Milosz gave a short introduction to Time Series. He also gave details about the SAX representation of the Time Series Data. A technical report summarising the team findings is currently under preparation. Milosz concluded by explaining the team future plans concerning further investigations related to recent Time Series developments.

Julien Leduc, who joined the openlab team and its Platform Competence Centre in March 2009 as a fellow funded by Intel, gave his first Minor Review Meeting presentation. He presented the first results of the Intel® Xeon® 5500 (Nehalem) benchmarks conducted together with Axel Busch who also joined in March 2009 as a technical student. These recent benchmarks compare three different models of the Intel Xeon 5500 generation which was released by the end of March 2009. Julien presented the SPEC2006 rate results when using the C++ subset of the benchmarks and also detailed the results when the following features are switched on for better performance: Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) mode, Intel ® Turbo Boost Technology (overclocking), and finally 64-bit mode. Further benchmarks are still on-going.

Next CERN openlab Minor Review Meeting will be hold on 19 May 2009.
