An Overview of the HPC Software Development Environment 2005-12-01 01:00:02

This paper addresses the characteristics and future directions of the Linux and UNIX High Performance Computing (HPC) Software Development Environment (SWDE). The HPC SWDE targets users who create technical software applications and need to exploit the performance features of a variety of HPC platforms and computing topologies. This paper presents a general overview of the HPC Software Development Environment and its development cycle. It gives details on the SWDE ecosystem and how its key parts are utilized to create optimally performing programs. Future trends in the HPC SWDE process and components are explored.

The Future of Cluster Computing 2005-05-25 03:00:02 Silicon Graphics

Without a sustainable computing strategy, can today's commodity High-Performance Computing ("HPC") clusters take advantage of future hardware developments? How are technical markets driving high-end innovation? What are the keys to a sustainable design strategy? These are just a few of the important questions addressed in the white paper, "The Future of Cluster Computing." In addition to trends shaping today's HPC market, this paper discusses the need to develop sustainable hardware strategies to eliminate the hidden costs/high total cost of ownership of current white box cluster implementations.

Novell Jump-Starts Linux Drive Into Small and Medium Businesses 2005-05-13 Ideas International

With its acquisition of SUSE completed, Novell has transformed itself into a leading Linux supplier. Novell is now positioned to fully capitalize on enterprise users migrating from UNIX to Linux as part of their continuing efforts to consolidate, standardize, and scale out. Novell is now also in a unique position to offer a Linux alternative for Small and Medium Business (SMB) users that systematically matches the key advantages of Windows.

Defensive Programming for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (And What to Do if Something Goes Wrong) 2005-11-03 01:00:03

Programming Language APIs and their libraries are often not designed with safety in mind. The API of the C language and the Unix API (which is defined using C) are especially weak in this respect. It is not necessarily the case that all programs developed using these programming languages and APIs are unsafe. This paper will describe possible problems, how to prevent them, and how to discover them.

HP-UX 11i: A Foundation for Enterprise Computing That Delivers Business Agility Through Integrated Virtualization, Workload Management and Enhanced Security 2006-03-03 01:01:29

Unix servers, including those from Hewlett-Packard (HP), support mission-critical workloads, such as transaction processing, enterprise applications, and large corporate databases. Enterprise customers want their IT environments to support higher levels of business agility and deliver more business value. Therefore, advanced virtualization as well as support for high availability, provisioning, and workload management in Unix operating systems are key factors in winning new business in the modern enterprise datacenter, as a small set of top vendors provides systems in the highly competitive worldwide Unix server market. The latest release of HP's Unix operating system, HP-UX 11i v2, bolsters the company's flagship line of systems with enhanced virtualization, workload management, high availability, and security features.

Indemnification Becomes Open Source�s Nightmare and Microsoft�s Blessing 2005-08-15 11:30:58

Download this free Yankee Group Report to read about software license indemnification and how it can help your company mitigate the threat of lawsuits related to intellectual property rights, copyright infringement, theft of trade secrets, or patent infringement. Discover why organizations using free, open source software are at far greater risk of litigation than those using proprietary solutions, and find out why the report concludes that enterprises that insist on using open source implementations need to allocate the funds necessary to purchase third-party indemnification and asset management protection.

Active Directory and DirectControl 2006-01-26 11:06:50

Microsoft's Active Directory is the standard in most organizations for authentication, authorization and policy management for Windows systems. Active Directory has proven highly scalable, very secure and resilient under almost any load. However, these organizations usually have no single technology for providing these services to UNIX, Linux, Mac, and Java platforms. Many organizations want to leverage Active Directory to extend these services to their non-Windows platforms. This white paper provides an overview of Active Directory, discusses the drivers for consolidating identity and policy management with Active Directory, and describes how to accomplish this integration with the Centrify DirectControl suite.

Connecting Simply With SAS/CONNECT 2005-12-06 01:01:57

SAS/CONNECT Software enables you to view and update your data on multiple platforms from any one connected computer. This paper provides some quick and easy code to get your SAS/CONNECT applications up and running smoothly. With only a few simple statements you can manipulate your UNIX or mainframe based data from your PC environment without batch processing. Similarly you may submit and run UNIX SAS programs from an MVS batch job. The data may actually reside on either platform. With business or research data residing on various platforms the SAS system utilizes the client server model to access the data wherever it resides.

Integrating Sybase Adaptive Server (ASE 12.5.x) for UNIX With a NetApp Filer 2005-03-01 Network Appliance (NetApp)

This paper describes the steps necessary to integrate Sybase Adaptive Server (ASE 12.5.x) for UNIX with a Network Appliance filer. This paper covers the following issues: installing Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 12.5.x on supported platforms with a filer, creating a new database with database devices on a filer and migrating an existing database from local disk to a filer.

LIM and Nanoweb 2005-12-22 01:01:52

This paper has several aims: It introduces two useful tools to the programming community, it argues against the "Law of the Excluded Miracle", and it illustrates a lightweight style of literate programming that the author has found effective and useful. LIM (the Language of the Included Miracle) is a novel little programming language useful for writing small programs that include a good measure of syntactic processing.
