The pervasiveness of computers and other processor-based devices has resulted in data proliferation such that vast amounts of digital data are created and stored daily. Although originally the sole domain of well-funded companies and research institutions, technology advancements and cost reductions over time have enabled computers and other electronic devices to become commonplace in the lives of most everyone. As a result, both businesses and consumers create and interact with large amounts of digital data.
Traditionally, a database management system (DBMS) is employed to manage interaction with database data. The DBMS efficiently manages requests or queries from users and programs so that these entities are free from having to know specifics pertaining to how and where data is physically stored. Furthermore, in handling requests, the DBMS ensures integrity and security with respect to the data. The most common DBMS is a relational database management system (RDBM). In this system, data is stored in a tabular format wherein data resides at the intersection of a row and a column.
A myriad of application programming interfaces (APIs) and/or language implementations can be employed to process structured data. For example, XML data can be formatted, queried and/or transformed by XSLT, XQuery and/or XPath. Furthermore, similar mechanisms can be utilized for serializing or streaming such data. Conventionally, such mechanisms load an entire data structure in memory and subsequently perform operations over the materialized data structure.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the claimed subject matter. This summary is not an extensive overview. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope of the claimed subject matter. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
Briefly described, the subject disclosure pertains to memory efficient data processing. Rather than attempting to materialize an entire data structure in memory prior to performing any operation thereon, materialization can be deferred. A data structure can be materialized at a later time as function of a particular operator to optimize system resources and/or data processing.
In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, rather than materializing the structure itself, a much smaller representation that describes the structure can be materialized. In one instance, the representation can be executed iteratively to serialize data element by element. Here, the entire structure need not be loaded in memory at the same time. Single elements or small groups of elements can be materialized in memory, serialized and subsequently thrown away. In another instance, portions of a described data structure can be materialized in memory to enable query operations. By deferring materialization and/or lazily materializing data, unnecessary work can be avoided including loading large amounts of data in memory. Not only is this more efficient than a conventional approach, but it can enable data processing where it might not otherwise be possible given a large data structure and small memory, for instance.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the claimed subject matter are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative of various ways in which the subject matter may be practiced, all of which are intended to be within the scope of the claimed subject matter. Other advantages and novel features may become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
Systems and methods are provided for processing data in a computer environment. A data representation can be utilized as a default means of processing data. For data serialization operations, the data representation can be executed iteratively or sequentially to retrieve data for output or transmission to a computer readable medium. In other instances, select portions of the data structure identified by the representation can be materialized to enable operation execution. The materialized portion can subsequently remain in memory or such space be reclaimed as function of an optimization analysis.
Various aspects of the subject disclosure are now described with reference to the annexed drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like or corresponding elements throughout. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description relating thereto are not intended to limit the claimed subject matter to the particular form disclosed. Rather, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the claimed subject matter.
Referring initially to
By way of example, suppose it is desired that a given in-memory object be traversed and an XML or HTML view extracted so that it can be stored in a file system or sent to a different application on the same or different computer. The XML view may potentially require so much memory that it would not be possible to materialize the view in memory or alternatively it would be wasteful to use an in-memory representation in the application that generates the view because this application has no immediate use for an in-memory representation. The system 100 affords a solution to this issue.
The system 100 includes a constructor component 110 that provides a mechanism for loading or populating memory component 115 (e.g., cache, RAM, flash . . . ) with data. The constructor component 110 need not perform such function at random. In fact, the constructor component can load the memory component 115 as a function of a data representation, operator and/or other input from execution component 120. Based on this information, the construction component can load the memory component 115 in a manner that preserves resources yet also enables efficient operation execution.
The data representation (also referred to as data description and descriptive data representation) identifies or describes data rather than being the data itself (although broadly it can be considered a type of data). In other words, the representation can identify computations of structures rather than the structures themselves. For instance, consider a set of numbers from one to one-hundred million. Each of the numbers from one to one-hundred million can be considered data described by the following declaration: Start from one and increment by one until one-hundred million. Accordingly, the data representation can correspond to a function, method, query or any other mechanism for identifying or describing data or portions thereof.
The operation is the particular type of kind of data processing to be done. The operation can be received, retrieved or otherwise acquired or obtained by the construction component 110. For instance, the operation can be provided or retrieved externally or from the execution component 120. Alternatively, the operation can be inferred as a function of contextual information such as the data representation, previous runs and/or execution component 120 behavior. A number of operations are possible including saving or serializing, querying and transforming data to name but a few.
The execution component 120 executes an operation utilizing corresponding data loaded in the memory component 115 by the construction component 110. The execution component 120 can receive or retrieve the operation to execute externally. It can subsequently, or concurrently, provide the operation and/or operation identity to the construction component 110. Additionally or alternatively, the execution component 120 can notify the construction component to load the memory component 115. Execution of an operation can produce output as a function of the operation including a serialized data structure or query result, among other things.
Functionality provided by the constructor component 110 and the execution component 120 can vary based on a particular operation. Referring briefly to
Turning first to
Referring to
In general, the system 100 of
Consider again the example of serialization of the numbers one to one-hundred million. Rather than eagerly attempting a lengthy process of materializing numbers one through one-hundred million in memory (if even possible), materialization can be deferred until a later time when such information is needed. Moreover, only a data representation or description need be loaded, not the entire set of numbers. The representation can indicate that the data is a collection of integers that starts at one and each subsequent number is incremented by one up to one-hundred million. This representation, here a function, can then be executed serially or iteratively such that the numbers are produced or materialized one by one and subsequently or concurrently serialized to a computer readable medium, communication stream or the like. Furthermore, as the data structure is iterated over, memory utilized by materialized elements can be thrown away or made available for reuse by subsequent materialized elements.
The other distinct mode can be to materialize data completely to memory. In this manner, all data element relationships can be captured. The materialized structure can subsequently be utilized to respond to queries and optionally update the data structure, among other things. However, this mode suffers from previously described problems including increased time required to materialize the complete structure and memory occupation (if enough space is available space to hold the structure).
In accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter, a hybrid can exist that merges the two distinct modes. Similar to the serialization mode, materialization of a data structure can be deferred. Stated differently, materialization can be executed lazily such that it is put off until as late as possible because it might mean that work need not be performed. This can accommodate a serialization operation, which is likely the most common scenario. Where a serialization operation is specified, for instance in various reporting applications, the data description can be loaded in memory and iterated through generating elements one at a time as previously described. Alternatively, if a query or other operator is to be executed than at least a portion of data structure can be materialized to memory. In accordance with one aspect, the materialization can be limited as function of an operation domain. For example, if it can be determined or inferred that the operation is concerned with a particular portion of a data structure, then only that portion should be materialized. In this manner, the operation can be executed while minimizing resource use, among other things.
Turning to
The hybrid on in this continuum is depicted in
Returning to
Further yet, it is to be appreciated that low level unparsing APIs can be employed to materialize data structures in a serialization oriented fashion. However, use of these low level APIs requires special programming skills, and it is cumbersome as well as error prone. In accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter, data can be materialized in a more compositional than imperative way. More specifically, a declarative method is supported that can employ functional programming-like idioms such as expression-oriented data construction and compositional queries, as well as lazy execution where necessary.
Referring to
For example, consider a hybrid scenario in which a portion of a data structure is materialized to memory to facilitate execution of an operation. A decision can be made concerning whether or not the materialized structure should remain in memory or be released for reuse. While a default can exist, a default's static nature can result in sub-optimal performance. The optimization component 410 can determine and effectuate an optimal solution utilizing context information. For example, if memory is scarce or demand is high the optimization component 410 can release the memory for garbage collection and reuse. Alternatively, a decision can be made to keep a materialized data structure where it can be determined or inferred that it is likely that future operations will need the data structure. In general, the optimization component 410 make a decision based on cost of materialization and/or maintenance in memory and value associated with alternate use.
For purposes of clarity and understanding, what follows is an exemplary use case for serialization. This provides more concrete detail pertaining to how aspects of the disclosure can be employed and/or embodied. It is to be noted that the following is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Consider a scenario in which an HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) representation of a given object graph is extracted such that fields of each object are listed and all sub-objects are recursively turned into HTML. A web browser should be able to render the HTML in real-time, namely as the .html file is generated sequentially.
Here is an object model for abstract syntax trees of a simple programming language.
The following is a specific program in the language described by the above object model:
This is actually a while loop for computing the factorial of 42. In a more familiar syntax, this program may be written like this:
Assume an HTML view is desired as shown in
Using C# and a designated type �XDeferredElement� for serialization-oriented XML trees, declarative code can be devised for the creation of the HTML view. A portion of the code is shown below. A more complete version of the code is provided in the attached Appendix.
The example is written in functional programming style such that the result (e.g., the HTML view) is constructed with the expression-oriented idiom of functional construction �XDeferredElement(�dl�, . . . )�; recursion is used to descend into the object graph; list-processing idioms handle the list of fields (cf from field in . . . select . . . ).
One characteristic of the encoding is that the query for the recursive treatment of sub-objects is stored, as is, by its parenting �XDeferredElement� instance. The query is executed only when the �XDeferredElement� instance is serialized later. The XML tree (HTML tree) is not materialized in memory.
Furthermore, serialization semantics (as opposed to an in-memory semantics) can be achieved without sacrificing idiomatic convenience of an in-memory API. That is, for comparison, consider the following variation on the fragment above. It uses an in-memory XML tree type, �XElement,� and the replacement of �XDeferredElement� by �XElement� is indeed the only required change.
Without loss of generality, an API for in-memory XML trees, can leverage an object type �XElement� with the following capabilities:
Deferred query execution for serialization-oriented trees concerns these capabilities:
The internal state and external API of an object type for serialization-oriented trees can be assumed to be the following:
When a tree instance is saved, essentially the name and the content are serialized in the normal sense of XML unparsing. That is, we open the element, write its content (including attributes, sub-trees), and close the element.
As an illustration, the following case discrimination on content of �XDeferredElement� instances handles monolithic attributes (�XAttribute�), in-memory nodes (�XNode�), interim text (�string�), serialization-oriented trees (�XDeferredElement�), and embedded queries (�IEnumerable�). One can assume that the shown �Serialize� method is declared by an auxiliary serializer object that is created and directly invoked from the Save method above. Low-level code for serializing nodes and attributes and strings is elided, while the important insight is bolded. Embedded queries are executed such that each element of the resulting list is serialized immediately and individually without keeping any handle on an element once its serialization has completed.
The aforementioned systems, architectures and the like have been described with respect to interaction between several components. It should be appreciated that such systems and components can include those components or sub-components specified therein, some of the specified components or sub-components, and/or additional components. Sub-components could also be implemented as components communicatively coupled to other components rather than included within parent components. Further yet, one or more components and/or sub-components may be combined into a single component to provide aggregate functionality. Communication between systems, components and/or sub-components can be accomplished in accordance with either a push and/or pull model. The components may also interact with one or more other components not specifically described herein for the sake of brevity, but known by those of skill in the art.
Furthermore, as will be appreciated, various portions of the disclosed systems and methods may include or consist of artificial intelligence, machine learning, or knowledge or rule based components, sub-components, processes, means, methodologies, or mechanisms (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines, classifiers . . . ). Such components, inter alia, can automate certain mechanisms or processes performed thereby to make portions of the systems and methods more adaptive as well as efficient and intelligent. By way of example and not limitation, optimization component 410 can utilize such mechanism to optimize data processing and resource utilization.
In view of the exemplary systems described supra, methodologies that may be implemented in accordance with the disclosed subject matter will be better appreciated with reference to the flow charts of

Turning to
The hybrid method of data processing 800 provides for deferred data processing to facilitate efficient memory utilization, among other things. Rather then always materializing an entire data structure to memory, the method 800 can load a description of the data, which almost always will be significantly smaller that the materialized structure itself. In this way, it is similar to the method for serializing data. This is a good starting point since serialization is more likely to be performed than any other operation. Upon analysis of an operation to be performed, data structures can be materialized. However, only a pertinent portion of the structure needs to be constructed. In some cases, this can correspond to the entire data structure, but in many other cases this will be a segment thereof enabling resources to be used more efficiently.
As used herein, the terms �component,� �system� and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an instance, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a computer and the computer can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
The word �exemplary� is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as �exemplary� is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs. Furthermore, examples are provided solely for purposes of clarity and understanding and are not meant to limit the subject innovation or relevant portion thereof in any manner. It is to be appreciated that a myriad of additional or alternate examples could have been presented, but have been omitted for purposes of brevity.
As used herein, the term �inference� or �infer� refers generally to the process of reasoning about or inferring states of the system, environment, and/or user from a set of observations as captured via events and/or data. Inference can be employed to identify a specific context or action, or can generate a probability distribution over states, for example. The inference can be probabilistic�that is, the computation of a probability distribution over states of interest based on a consideration of data and events. Inference can also refer to techniques employed for composing higher-level events from a set of events and/or data. Such inference results in the construction of new events or actions from a set of observed events and/or stored event data, whether or not the events are correlated in close temporal proximity, and whether the events and data come from one or several event and data sources. Various classification schemes and/or systems (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines . . . ) can be employed in connection with performing automatic and/or inferred action in connection with the subject innovation.
Furthermore, all or portions of the subject innovation may be implemented as a method, apparatus or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed innovation. The term �article of manufacture� as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick, key drive . . . ). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter.
In order to provide a context for the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter,
With reference to
The system memory 916 includes volatile and nonvolatile memory. The basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines to transfer information between elements within the computer 912, such as during start-up, is stored in nonvolatile memory. By way of illustration, and not limitation, nonvolatile memory can include read only memory (ROM). Volatile memory includes random access memory (RAM), which can act as external cache memory to facilitate processing.
Computer 912 also includes removable/non-removable, volatile/non-volatile computer storage media.
The computer 912 also includes one or more interface components 926 that are communicatively coupled to the bus 918 and facilitate interaction with the computer 912. By way of example, the interface component 926 can be a port (e.g., serial, parallel, PCMCIA, USB, FireWire . . . ) or an interface card (e.g., sound, video, network . . . ) or the like. The interface component 926 can receive input and provide output (wired or wirelessly). For instance, input can be received from devices including but not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, camera, other computer and the like. Output can also be supplied by the computer 912 to output device(s) via interface component 926. Output devices can include displays (e.g., CRT, LCD, plasma . . . ), speakers, printers and other computers, among other things.
The system 1000 includes a communication framework 1050 that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 1010 and the server(s) 1030. The client(s) 1010 are operatively connected to one or more client data store(s) 1060 that can be employed to store information local to the client(s) 1010. Similarly, the server(s) 1030 are operatively connected to one or more server data store(s) 1040 that can be employed to store information local to the servers 1030. For example, a client 1010 can acquire a data structure from a server 1030 over the communication framework 1050 for processing (e.g., serialization, query . . . ). Additionally or alternatively, data can be serialized over the communication framework 1050 to either a client 1010 and/or a server 1030 for further processing or saving to a local store 1060 and 1040, respectively.
What has been described above includes examples of aspects of the claimed subject matter. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the claimed subject matter, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the disclosed subject matter are possible. Accordingly, the disclosed subject matter is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms �includes,� �has� or �having� or variations in form thereof are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term �comprising� as �comprising� is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

3 Design Lessons from Edward Tufte's Megaliths
Design ideas can come from anywhere, but a trusted source is always welcome. This week we look to data visualizer Edward Tufte, who recently completed several new stone structures in his sprawling Connecticut sculpture park.
With the help of stone worker Dan Snow, Tufte assembled hundreds of tons of native rock into towering sculptures for Continuous Silent Megaliths: Structures of Unknown Significance. The "stone+air" works are reminiscent of the land art movement that began in the '60s—and bear an easy resemblance to Stonehenge.
Unlike his exhibition at ET Modern—in which he created abstracted versions of physicist Richard Feynman's subatomic particle diagrams—these don't represent anything, aside from good design. Indeed, Tufte, who told Visual.ly he's currently in a "manic state of... keep reading

8 Beers to Drink on St. Patrick's Day
Today on The Daily Meal

For fans of great brews, it's admittedly a little worrisome that Googling "St. Patrick's Day Beer" instantly returns a rash of images and links to neon-green pints.
St. Patrick's Day is arguably one of the greatest beer-drinking holidays, and it's a shame that its most iconic drink has become cheap, light beer spiked with green dye. Interestingly enough, however, the earliest references to green beer have nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day or the color green; rather, the term was used to describe beer that had not been sufficiently aged. It is not until the early 20th century that mentions of green-dyed beer come up in association with the holiday.
While the none-too-appetizing St. Patty's Day beverage seems to be here to stay, that doesn't mean you can't buck tradition this holiday and celebrate with great-tasting beers that tip their hat to the Emerald Isle's great brewing history.
From dry stouts and red ales to lagers and cream ales, here are eight Irish and Irish-style beers too good to turn green.

AC Advive please
Posted 12 August 2006 - 05:46 PM
It's been running again for about an hour now. Is it something I can fix, or do I need to call in for repair. Sorry for so much detail, but wanted to explain fully.
Any advice / help would be appreciated.
Posted 13 August 2006 - 03:40 AM
I sounds like your condenser fan motor is bad. It may have been caused by a bad run capacitor. General replacement motors go for around 70 bucks, but spend the extra $5 for the capacitor. It's probably a 1/3 or 1/4 horsepower 230 volt motor. If you decide to attack the job I can help you through it.

It's been on all day, but I know it's only a matter of time. I'm going to look into getting the parts, and would really like to switch it myself. Doesn't "sound" incredibly hard, but I'm a novice. I would appreciate your advice / guidance, if I go forward.

I've a binary image whose foreground is white. Out of the branchpoints and endpoints of its medial-axis skeleton, I would like to build a graph. Ideally, with the following structure:
- [nodes] having the format [ID X Y] where X,Y are the pixel locations of the branchpoints or endpoints, and ID is the node's ID - an integer number.
- [edges] having the format [ID N1 N2] where N1 and N1 represent the node's IDs.
By using both [nodes] and [edges] I'll have then a mapping of the skeleton into an undirected graph representation.
With the code below, I can compute the branch and endpoints, but now I need to connect them properly:
skelImg = bwmorph(im, 'thin', 'inf');
branchImg = bwmorph(skelImg, 'branchpoints');
endImg = bwmorph(skelImg, 'endpoints');
[row, column] = find(endImg);
endPts = [row column];
[row, column] = find(branchImg);
branchPts = [row column];
figure; imshow(skelImg); hold on; plot(branchPts(:,2),branchPts(:,1),'r*'); hold on; plot(endPts(:,2),endPts(:,1),'*');
An example of the input image (on the left), its skeleton (middle), and the corresponding branch- and end-points (right) is given below:

Craftsman Garage Door Opener
Hi-I have a 1990 model#139.53718 Craftsman Garage Door Opener. It only opens part way and it won't close. It doesn't matter if I use the remote or the door wall switch. What could be the problem? When I attempt to open the door, it only opens part way and when I attempt to close the door it begins to close and then goes into reverse but it doesn't actually close. Please help, if I could fix the problem myself I'd rather do that but if I need to call a technician out I would like to be sure that technician is necessary. Also, when I disable the automatic it does work fine manually but of course I would like to use the automatic option. Thanks!!!
Hello, thanks for the speedy response, I have removed the cover and I don't understand how to determine if the drive gear is bad. I also discovered that if I press the remote after the door has stuck mid-ways up it will reverse and then travel a little further up until and I press the remote again, it will reverse again and travel a little further up, after repeating this multiple times the garage door will finally open and the same scenario takes place when garage door is closing. Thanks so Much!!!
Thanks so much, it's all chewn up into shreds. Since my garage door opener is almost 20 years old would I be better off getting a new garage door opener or just having this repaired. Can I repair it myself or will I need a technician. I was quoted $315 for a new one. Is that a good price?? Again, thanks so much!!!
I replaced our gear about 2 months ago since the teeth had worn off. It was a little tight to move around inside of the opener, which made the whole thing take some time, but it worked and the operation of the door became much quieter. I don't think the subsequent issue I posted tonight is related, but who knows??? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
my 1992 GDO model 139.18616SR (1/2 hp) flaked out on me on Monday. Hit the wall button and the door opened; when the door was completely open, the motor kept on running; had to hit the button again to make the motor stop. Now, hitting either the wall or remote button will make the motor run but the door (nor the chain) will move. I can open the door manually.

Bergamasco set to miss Six Nations
ESPN Staff

Italy winger Mirco Bergamasco is set to miss this season's Six Nations tournament after fracturing a knee cap during the Azzuri's defeat to Australia on Saturday.
The Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) confirmed on Sunday that the Racing Metro winger will be out for up to five months with the injury. Bergamasco suffered the injury early in the second half of Italy's 19-22 defeat to the Wallabies in Florence. Originally it was feared he had suffered a rupture but it was later confirmed as a fracture.
"Medical exams revealed no ligament injury, and the surgery was a complete success," the FIR said.
Italy begin their Six Nations campaign against France on February 3 and go on to play Scotland, Wales and England before their final clash with Ireland on March 16.
Prop Andrea Lo Cicero, meanwhile, left the field in the first half having suffered a blow to his throat and fractures to two ribs. The FIR said that Cicero could be out for several weeks.

Is Malik the worst Bolt ever?

The question for me is: Is Malik worse than Koci?
Let me make my case.
In 48 career NHL games, Koci has amassed 1 point. One. It was an incidental assist to Recchi's goal vs. Boston on the 22nd. The man plays
(more often than not) and contributes zilch to creating offense. Nor is he especially gifted defensively. He's not a checking machine, though to his credit, he does take the opportunities that present themselves.
The stupid giveaways that Malik is guilty of, Koci does as well. Koci might have a quarter as many giveaways over the course of a game, but he also gets a quarter the minutes of Malik.
He'd do well pre-lockout, with the obstruction, but that time has passed.
Blame his size or his foot speed, if you will, but then look at Chara. He's a good skater, especially for his size, a defensive powerhouse, and gets stuff going offensively. In addition, he's the captain of his team.
The last time David Koci scored a goal was during the lockout for Scranton.
Koci's fight record this year is 2-7-1 so he's not even especially effective at punching other dudes in the chops more than taking it.
His size might make him intimidating, but why would someone take a run at one of our players when we're losing?
He's a poor man's Oliwa. Think about that for a few minutes.
So if you conclude that Koci is worse than Malik, then no, Malik is not even the worst player on the team, right now.
Disclaimer: I don't mean to completely rip on the guy. He definitely tries and, for what it's worth, I like him. You've got to respect a guy like him. I just don't think the he's suited to the current NHL.
