Going to #KubeCon? Then you should check out #HannahTaub's talk "The Node Tetris Rabbit Hole: Why Your #Binpacking Might Be Underperforming". You'll learn #Kubernetes cluster #utilization tips & tricks as well as some great #costefficiency techniques. Since I'm lucky enough to work with her I've gotten to see the work she'll be talking about first hand and it's impressive.

Dive into the world of #BinPacking in #Kubernetes!

Learn about the challenges & trade-offs associated with this approach in this #InfoQ article by Omer Hamerman: https://bit.ly/47t5iKz

Discover practical examples & best practices for implementing bin packing in your organization.

Thanks for coming along with me! This was me liveblogging "Solving the Batch Stochastic Bin Packing Problem in Cloud: A Chance-constrained Optimization Approach", by Jie Yan, et al. It's from a bunch of folks at Microsoft and Peking University.

Follow along for more of this in the future! Or, if you're interested in more long-form writing about these topics, you can subscribe to my blog! It's right here:

Ok, it's been a little while. It's time for me to liveblog another distributed systems paper!

Today's paper is "Solving the Batch Stochastic Bin Packing Problem in Cloud: A Chance-constrained Optimization Approach", by Jie Yan, et al. It's from a bunch of folks at Microsoft and Peking University. Let's take a look!

Francesco Paolo Saccomanno proposes a reinforcement learning strategy to address #BinPacking, where the agent is trained to imitate a classic heuristic, the “best fit” strategy. https://t.co/9SnLnX4CW8

#7AYW #Day1 #BinPacking
Chiara Turbian presents exact and heuristic approaches to determine efficient sequences of cutting layouts for Salvagnini Italia, in order to minimize waste material and address technological constraints, such as hard/soft precedence relations among items. https://t.co/KVQpBnP3Vu

#7AYW #Day1 #BinPacking
Riccardo Giusti talks about a new tactical-planning problem of a shipper who needs to contract carriers to secure transport capacity for the next operation season, and proposes a two-stage stochastic model. https://t.co/M0IHDkZpdX

#7AYW #Day1 #BinPacking
The first speaker is Davide Croci, who presents a new heuristic for the Pallet Loading Problem (PLP), a variant of the three-dimensional bin packing problem which includes practical constraints related to the loading of boxes on pallets. https://t.co/YgAXDD445U
