Exception handling in NEST
by Itaru Kitayama 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, Am I able to safely comment out all those exception handling codes provided they're provided for the defensive purposes? I ask because I am trying to insert offloading directives into the NEST code base wherever I can. Thanks, Itaru.

You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video conferencing system (see below) or software when available. *Web client* * Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp * Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone * Click green video-call button to open the call panel * In the "Search to call" box at the top right enter *97938800* and connect * The conference does not need a PIN to join, just click *join* and you're in. In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase "Auf den Meetingveranstalter warten", just be patient, the meeting host needs to join first (a voice will tell you). *VC system/software* How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system or software. - Using the H.323 protocol (eg Polycom): vc.dfn.net##97938800 or 194.95.240.2##97938800 - Using the SIP protocol:97938800@vc.dfn.de - By telephone: +49-30-200-97938800 For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable software, Polycom provides a pretty good free app for iOS and Android, so you can join from your tablet (Polycom RealPresence Mobile, available from AppStore/PlayStore). Note that firewalls may interfere with videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways.

Network build phase questions
by Itaru Kitayama 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Hi all, I'm wondering whether the vtable lookup connect function and random number generation costs during the network build phase are fully investigated and understood in the past. I ask because I've observed the phase is, while it is a simulation preparation, takes up to 60% of wall clock time of the entire simulation. Thanks, Itaru.
