Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Copyright © 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 the Debian Installer Team Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide Copyright © 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 the Debian Installer team This document contains installation instructions for the Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 system (codename “etch”), for the IA-64 (“ia64”) architecture. It also contains pointers to more information and information on how to make the most of your new Debian system. Note: Although this installation guide for ia64 is mostly up-to-date, we plan to make some changes and reorganize parts of the manual after the official release of etch. A newer version of this manual may be found on the Internet at the debian-installer home page (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/).

  • 10º Encontro Português De Computação Gráfica
    Actas do 10º Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica 1 – 3 de Outubro 2001 Lisboa – Portugal Patrocinadores de Honra Patrocinadores Organização 10º Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica 1-3 de Outubro 2001 PREFÁCIO A investigação, o desenvolvimento e o ensino na área da Computação Gráfica constituem, em Portugal, uma realidade positiva e de largas tradições. O Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica (EPCG), realizado no âmbito das actividades do Grupo Português de Computação Gráfica (GPCG), tem permitido reunir regularmente, desde o 1º EPCG realizado também em Lisboa, mas no já longínquo mês de Julho de 1988, todos os que trabalham nesta área abrangente e com inúmeras aplicações. Pela primeira vez no historial destes Encontros, o 10º EPCG foi organizado em ligação estreita com as comunidades do Processamento de Imagem e da Visão por Computador, através da Associação Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padrões (APRP), salientando-se, assim, a acrescida colaboração, e a convergência, entre essas duas áreas e a Computação Gráfica. Tal como nos Encontros anteriores, o programa está estruturado ao longo de três dias, sendo desta vez o primeiro dia dedicado a seminários por conferencistas convidados e os dois últimos à apresentação de comunicações e de "posters", decorrendo em simultâneo o Concurso para Jovens Investigadores, uma Exibição Comercial e, pela primeira vez, um Atelier Digital. Como novidade essencialmente dedicada aos jovens, realiza-se ainda em paralelo com o Encontro um torneio de jogos de computador. Em resposta ao apelo às comunicações para este 10º EPCG foram submetidos 38 trabalhos, na sua maioria de grande qualidade, tendo sido seleccionadas pela Comissão de Programa, após um cuidadoso processo de avaliação, apenas 19 comunicações; aos autores de 14 dos restantes trabalhos, considerados suficientemente promissores, foi sugerida a sua reformulação e uma nova submissão como "posters".

  • Verhalten, Kommunikation Und Interaktion in Virtuellen 3D-Umgebungen
    Verhalten, Kommunikation und Interaktion in Virtuellen 3D-Umgebungen DISSERTATION der Fakultät für Informatik der Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) vorgelegt von DIPL.-BIOL.JÜRGEN FECHTER aus Sigmaringen Tübingen 1999 Tag der mündlichen Qualifikation: 7. Juli 1999 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Klaus-Jörn Lange 1. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Straßer 2. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rosenstiel Zusammenfassung Zu Beginn der Arbeit 1993 mußten zuerst die Grundlagen und die Basis für den Bereich der Virtuellen Realität erarbeitet werden. Es werden deshalb 3D-Geräte, Grundlagen und Techniken, Formen der Interaktion sowie angrenzende Bereiche, wie beispielsweise Netzwerkprotokolle, behandelt. Im Kern stellt diese Arbeit erstmalig ein generisches Konzept für den Austausch von Nachrichten zwischen 3D-Objekten vor. Es werden die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen dieses Modells, das allgemein Messageconcept genannt wurde, aufgezeigt. Ferner wird die Adaption des Messageconcept auf verschiedene andere Einsatzebenen dargestellt. Besonders wird hier auf eine VRML-basierte Lösung eingegangen, die auch als Vorschlag dem VRML-Konsortium eingereicht wurde. Der Austausch der Nachrichten ist nicht auf eine Applikation beschränkt, sondern kann auch netzwerktransparent erfolgen. Auf die enthaltenen Multi-User-Erweiterungen wird im Zusammenhang mit dieser Arbeit nicht eingegangen. Für die Verifikation des allgemeinen Messageconcept wurde eine Anwendung aus dem medizinischen Bereich, ein sogenannter Lichtkasten (engl. Alternator), an dem Röntgenaufnahmen befestigt werden, inklusive dazugehörigem Raum, verwendet. Im Gegensatz zu industriellen Lösungen, welche die Umgebung der Radiologen auf die Darstellung der zweidimensionalen medizinischen Bilder beschränken, bildet diese Applikation den dreidimensionalen Arbeitsraum ab. Neben dem Vorteil, daß diese Abbildung aus der realen Welt für einen nicht-computererfahrenen Mediziner intuitiv verständlich ist, steht der Nachteil des höheren Eingabeaufwands.

  • Introduction to UPC
    Introduction to UPC Presenter: Rajesh Nishtala (UC Berkeley) Advisor: Katherine Yelick Joint work with Berkeley UPC and Titanium Groups Lawrence Berkeley Nat’l Labs & UC Berkeley Some slides adapted from Katherine Yelick and Tarek El- Ghazawi Berkeley UPC: http://upc.lbl.gov 1 Titanium: http://titanium.cs.berkeley.edu Context • Most parallel programs are written using either: – Message passing with a SPMD model • Usually for scientific applications with C++/Fortran • Scales easily – Shared memory with threads in OpenMP, Threads+C/C++/F or Java • Usually for non-scientific applications • Easier to program, but less scalable performance • Global Address Space (GAS) Languages take the best of both – global address space like threads (programmability) – SPMD parallelism like MPI (performance) – local/global distinction, i.e., layout matters (performance) Berkeley UPC: http://upc.lbl.gov 2 Titanium: http://titanium.cs.berkeley.edu Partitioned Global Address Space Languages • Explicitly-parallel programming model with SPMD parallelism – Fixed at program start-up, typically 1 thread per processor • Global address space model of memory – Allows programmer to directly represent distributed data structures • Address space is logically partitioned – Local vs. remote memory (two-level hierarchy) • Programmer control over performance critical decisions – Data layout and communication • Performance transparency and tunability are goals – Initial implementation can use fine-grained shared memory • Multiple PGAS languages: UPC (C), CAF (Fortran), Titanium
