TOPIC: A recap of the DFW Perl Mongers Deduplication Hackathon DATE: January 14 TIME: 7:00 - 10:00 PM ROOM: E51-372 (NOTE we're back in the squarish room 372 for winter/spring.) SPEAKERS: Joel Berger, Tommy Butler, Yanick Champoux, Bruce Gray, Tim King MODERATOR: Tom Metro
How fast can Perl find duplicate files on a 100 GB file system? That's the question the Dallas/Fort Worth Perl Monger's Winter 2013 Deduplication Hackathon set out to answer. There were a diverse range of contest entries, from the expected procedural Perl 5 code to ones that used Moose, MOP, and even one Perl 6 entry. Tom Metro will moderate a collection of prerecorded and live lightning talks by the contestants. After a brief intro, we'll hear from Bruce on his 6-line Perl 6 entry, from Tim (live in person) with his comprehensive MOP based solution, from Joel with a classic Perl 5 procedural solution, from Yanick with the officially winning solution built with Moose (yes, the fastest used Moose!), and lastly from the DFW.pm leader and contest organizer Tommy (live via Google Hangout) with his unofficial Moose based solution, that post-contest, was further tuned to beat everyone. Lastly, we'd like to hear from the audience what you'd like to see as the topic of a future hackathon. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
