Cluster Interconnects: Real Application Performance and Beyond

01/11/2007  IIIIIIIII
Relevance: 8.36
High performance interconnects used for Linux HPC clusters are often compared using artificial benchmarks. The important question is how well these artificial benchmarks translate into real-world performance. This article attempts to answer this question buy taking a look at the real-world performance for Mellanox for Qlogic Interconnects.

Real Time Coming to Linux Real Soon

08/24/2006  IIIIIIII
Relevance: 7.88
Real Time operating systems have traditionally been a separate breed from mainstream ones. Thanks to efforts to incorporate Real Time enhancements into Linux, standard mainstream Linux may well become a real, Real Time OS real soon. A Real Time OS offers the promise of better response times and a degree of determinism not found in non-Real Time OS's.

Relevance: 7.73
I am loathe to offer real life suggestions based on Television and Movies...most often it indicates that one has less than a firm footing in their real world. In this case though, I am going to ask you to take the red pill. Together we will see how deep the Rabbit Hole goes.

Real-time JVM (Java virtual machine) specialist Aonix and real-time Linux specialist Concurrent Computer Corp. have formed a joint development and marketing partnership. The deal leverages the combination of Aonix's PERC real-time JVM and tools, along with Concurrent's RedHawk Linux and SUSE-based real-time offerings for multi-processor x86 systems, the companies say.

Real World Benchmarks Of The EXT4 File-System

12/04/2008  IIIIII
Relevance: 6.80
With the EXT4 file-system being marked as stable in the forthcoming Linux 2.6.28 kernel, and some Linux distributions potentially switching to it as an interim step until the btrfs file-system is ready, we decided it was time to benchmark this journaled file-system for ourselves. We ran a number of disk-centric Linux benchmarks along with several of our real-world tests from the Phoronix Test Suite to gauge how well the EXT4 file-system performance will be noticed by desktop users and computer gamers. We have compared these EXT4 results to the EXT3, XFS, and ReiserFS file-systems.

Using Linux Text-Stream Filters†' A Real-life Example

01/11/2010  IIIIIIII
Relevance: 6.69
For me, the hardest part about teaching the LPI 101 course is teaching about text-stream filters. It’s not that they’re difficult to understand. It’s just that showing the examples of how they work is easy, but showing examples of how they can be used in real life is a bit more challenging. Real-life examples from the Linux admin world are fairly complex, and are beyond the level that most beginning Linux students are able to grasp. So, in most LPI books, the student will see how these utilities work, but not how to use them.

Successful women in FOSS and IT

Relevance: 6.65
I wanted to show you some real world examples of how successful women in IT and FOSS in particular think about the gender issue. These women are not some gray, anonymous, unsubstantiated array of possible FOSS participants, but real life women who have their own ideas and ideals.

The Rocky Legal Landscape of Virtual Worlds, Part 1: Trademarks

11/13/2008  I
Relevance: 6.64
Virtual worlds provide not only a new universe in which brave explorers stake their claims, but also a new legal landscape in which the colonists are often at odds with the natives from theold world. How do real-world laws apply? How do traditional concepts of intellectual property -- patents, copyrights, and trademarks -- apply in a virtual world?
