Xdebug and XHProf are introduced as common profiling extensions for PHP. XHProf is highlighted as a lightweight passive profiler with a web GUI called XHGui for reviewing profiling data. Profiling is presented as useful for debugging performance issues and gaining insight into an application's behavior.
The field of machine programming — the automation of the development of software — is making notable research advances. This is, in part, due to the emergence of a wide range of novel techniques in machine learning. In today’s technological landscape, software is integrated into almost everything we do, but maintaining software is a time-consuming and error-prone process. When fully realized, machine programming will enable everyone to express their creativity and develop their own software without writing a single line of code. Intel realizes the pioneering promise of machine programming, which is why it created the Machine Programming Research (MPR) team in Intel Labs. The MPR team’s goal is to create a society where everyone can create software, but machines will handle the “programming” part.
Static code analysis involves using tools to analyze source code for potential issues. It can find bugs, code quality issues, and other problems but is not a replacement for testing. Several experts note that combining static analysis, inspections, and testing leads to better defect removal than only using testing. Common static analysis tools include FxCop, StyleCop, ReSharper, and NDepend. Integrating static analysis into the development process can provide benefits but obstacles like resources and unrealistic expectations must be addressed.

All I Needed for Functional Programming I Learned in High School AlgebraEric Normand
Are you tired of forgetting which keys go in which maps? Are your data transformation pipelines reaching trans-continental proportions? A smidgen of high school algebra may go a long way to eliminating your deeply nested headaches. In this talk, we will explore several functional programming concepts and techniques, lifted right out of high school algebra, that can deepen your functional programming skills and get you slicing your problems along new dimensions.
Did you learn Object-Oriented Programming in school or at work? Were you told the same lies as I was? In this talk, I document the oversimplifications, generalizations, and misinformation my professors dished out that I had to discover as I learned Functional Programming.
This document discusses the problems of complexity in software development and proposes functional programming as a solution. It outlines three main sources of complexity: time, state, and architecture. Functional programming aims to master these through an immutable data and stateless function model where functions take inputs and produce outputs without side effects. This reduces complexity by avoiding unintended interactions between different parts of a program over time and through state changes.
A Theory of Functional Programming LambdUpEric Normand
There are two common questions we hear from outside the functional programming community: ‘What is functional programming?’, and ‘Why should I use it?’. I have struggled to find good answers to these questions. In this talk, we will look at the existing definition and I will present a formulation I’ve been working on that attempts to answer both of these questions, and also why functional programming is so special.
Testing stateful, concurrent, and async systems using test.checkEric Normand
Generative testing is great for testing pure functions, but it is also used to test the behavior of stateful systems that change over time. Those systems are often designed for highly concurrent usage, such as queues, databases, and storage. And then sometimes your code is also asynchronous, such as in JavaScript. Learn several patterns to find inconsistencies across platforms, race conditions, and corner cases. This talk assumes basic understanding of generative testing.
Do you want to create robust and composable abstractions? Here’s an iterative process to define the essence of a domain and build composability into the core and then demonstrates how to apply this process to the Processing graphics library to develop a composable vector graphics system.

In tube drawing process, a tube is pulled out through a die and a plug to reduce its diameter and thickness as per the requirement. Dimensional accuracy of cold drawn tubes plays a vital role in the further quality of end products and controlling rejection in manufacturing processes of these end products. Springback phenomenon is the elastic strain recovery after removal of forming loads, causes geometrical inaccuracies in drawn tubes. Further, this leads to difficulty in achieving close dimensional tolerances. In the present work springback of EN 8 D tube material is studied for various cold drawing parameters. The process parameters in this work include die semi-angle, land width and drawing speed. The experimentation is done using Taguchi’s L36 orthogonal array, and then optimization is done in data analysis software Minitab 17. The results of ANOVA shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle,5 mm land width and 6 m/min drawing speed yields least springback. Furthermore, optimization algorithms named Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are applied which shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle, 10 mm land width and 8 m/min drawing speed results in minimal springback with almost 10.5 % improvement. Finally, the results of experimentation are validated with Finite Element Analysis technique using ANSYS.
We introduce the Gaussian process (GP) modeling module developed within the UQLab software framework. The novel design of the GP-module aims at providing seamless integration of GP modeling into any uncertainty quantification workflow, as well as a standalone surrogate modeling tool. We first briefly present the key mathematical tools on the basis of GP modeling (a.k.a. Kriging), as well as the associated theoretical and computational framework. We then provide an extensive overview of the available features of the software and demonstrate its flexibility and user-friendliness. Finally, we showcase the usage and the performance of the software on several applications borrowed from different fields of engineering. These include a basic surrogate of a well-known analytical benchmark function; a hierarchical Kriging example applied to wind turbine aero-servo-elastic simulations and a more complex geotechnical example that requires a non-stationary, user-defined correlation function. The GP-module, like the rest of the scientific code that is shipped with UQLab, is open source (BSD license).

Passenger car unit (PCU) of a vehicle type depends on vehicular characteristics, stream characteristics, roadway characteristics, environmental factors, climate conditions and control conditions. Keeping in view various factors affecting PCU, a model was developed taking a volume to capacity ratio and percentage share of particular vehicle type as independent parameters. A microscopic traffic simulation model VISSIM has been used in present study for generating traffic flow data which some time very difficult to obtain from field survey. A comparison study was carried out with the purpose of verifying when the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models are appropriate for prediction of PCUs of different vehicle types. From the results observed that ANFIS model estimates were closer to the corresponding simulated PCU values compared to MLR and ANN models. It is concluded that the ANFIS model showed greater potential in predicting PCUs from v/c ratio and proportional share for all type of vehicles whereas MLR and ANN models did not perform well.
